(Short Cuts) Whos Behind A Fake Trudeau Sex Scandal?

Published: Jan. 4, 2024, 5:01 a.m.

There\u2019s a really popular Canadian politics YouTube channel with hundreds of anti-Trudeau videos. Something seemed a little fishy though. Jesse, Jonathan, and Karyn start pulling at a thread that ultimately takes their search to the other side of the world.


There\u2019s a video on YouTube titled \u201cTrudeau\u2019s Alleged AFFAIR with Minister of AFFAIRS\u201d that baselessly suggests the prime minister\u2019s marriage fell apart due to a dalliance with a member of his cabinet. It has 473,903 views.


It\u2019s the biggest hit for a channel called Street Politics Canada that, for more than a year, has been churning out anti-Trudeau content day after day. Street Politics claims to be an \u201cindependent news organization\u201d based in Canada that is \u201cclear and upfront\u201d about their biases \u2014 but who are they, and why haven\u2019t we heard of them before?
