"If they told people we were Egyptians talking in Canada, yeah, the company would not get this success," a former social media manager for the company concedes

The YouTube channel Street Politics Canada is, by its own description, an “independent news organization that aims to cover unfiltered news.”

“Unlike other news organizations,” it writes, “we are clear and upfront about our biases.”

Since April 2022, it has published approximately 600 YouTube videos catering to an audience of Canadian conservatives, nearly all of which take aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. These typically consist of news clips, still photos, and basic motion graphics, accompanied by a voiceover relaying arguments and information gleaned from an assortment of Canadian sources. Titles include “Worst Prime Minister In History Gets Booed By Canadians” and “WATCH!! Trudeau Gives UNHINGED SPEECH After Protestors HECKLE him AGAIN!!” Thumbnail images often compare the prime minister to Hitler.

    the Conservative Party could stop nominating and electing the lamest, most weasel-like amongst their ranks as party leader

    I submit they have no better option.

    And it’s not like the Oranges ran with Mr Mulcair, or the Cons would finally get that they seriously need to get their shit together.

    But, side note, both the greens and blues are ruined by their extremists, and we just see the blues because the blues tend to cruelty while the greens tend to an obstructionism that their more responsible and moderate selves from the '90s would be appalled to see.
