Journalism in Canada is fighting for its life. Support Canadaland now.
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 nearly half a million 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?
On this week\u2019s CANADALAND, host Jesse Brown, editor-in-chief Karyn Pugliese, and news editor Jonathan Goldsbie start pulling at a thread that ultimately takes their search to the other side of the world.
