The fact that the videos of Pierre Poilevre A hidden hashtag that until recently referenced anti-women movements is “completely indecent” for a Canadian politician, the prime minister has accused Justin Trudeau.
“The Conservative leader deliberately used his videos to appeal to far-right online anti-women movements. These are anti-women movements and they have had devastating consequences in real life, ”he castigated in a particularly stormy question time on Thursday.
Mr Poilievre replied that he “condemned this organization” and “fixed the problem as soon as I was informed”.
He then went on the offensive, adding that he also “condemns all forms of misogyny, including when the prime minister fired the first-ever indigenous attorney general, when he abused young minority women in his own faction who had to leave politics, and I.” Condemn him for the time he donned racist costumes so often he forgot them all.
The global network revealed this morning that Mr Poilievre’s last 50 YouTube videos contained the hidden hashtag #mgtow, an acronym for “Men Going Their Own Way”. This coding helps to promote the videos on the networks of this movement made up of anti-feminists who want to remove women from their lives.
When the tables were turned in the House of Commons and Prime Minister Trudeau asked the questions, he demanded, like “women across the country,” to know why Mr Poilievre “allowed this to happen.
“He’s been playing too close to the line with extremists for too long. Now he’s been caught. Will he admit it? Will he apologize? Will he take responsibility? he said in an alleged response, which was followed by a question from the block leader.
In a statement to The Canadian Press, Mr Poilievre’s office explained that the boss was “unaware of the existence of these embedded tags” which have been “implemented and automated to accompany every video “over the course of the last four and a half years” .
“The embedded tags were removed as soon as his office became aware of it. It is evident that Mr Poilievre condemns misogyny and all forms of hate online,” it said.
“I’m outraged”
All day, elected liberals tore their shirts off over this story.
Attorney General David Lametti was in all his states at noon. “I’m outraged, I’m beside myself. To be honest, I’m having a bit of trouble controlling my emotions now,” he said as he left the cabinet meeting.
“Deliberately linking the promotion of a political platform with incel groups […], which is not only totally unacceptable in our country, it is dangerous, he said. It’s dangerous for women. These are the groups that promote hatred against women. »
Minutes earlier, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said he found it “very concerning” that a political party had tried to “foment echo chambers where there is openly violent rhetoric against women”.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, meanwhile, commented that she arrived at the meeting a little early as the news spread through the halls like wildfire.
“I am a feminist, a proud feminist. I’m a mother,” she said immediately.
According to her, any person who has “the great privilege of being elected to this Parliament” must “clearly” recognize that there is no real equality in the country and that women and girls, especially those ethnic and religious minorities, are confronted targeted threats.
