On the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pierre Poilievre spoke out for the group he says faces the most hate-based violence.
Um, and apparently that group is…Christians? (It isn’t).
I called for backup on this one. Luckily @pampalmater.com answered:

A LOT of Canadian media is owned by a US MAGA hedgefund. We are being lied to. That’s why my guests and I do The OShow as an independent, pro-democracy podcast to help fight back against the propaganda. 🇨🇦
Cdn media are repeating Poilievre lies without fact- checking & posing questions couched on the basis his lies are valid
I am disgusted Cdn media are repeating the same mistakes as US media that got DJT elected 2x
Poilievre's anti-immigrant tirades are just the beginning of a rw propaganda campaign
