West Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 Looks like taxpayers have paid social media influencers in the area of 600k to sing the praises of the little man child, Justin Trudeau. According to a report by Blacklock, Canadian taxpayers have been paying to promote Trudeau and sing the praises about what a great and mighty leader we have. https://tnc.news/2022/03/23/liberals-gave-600000-to-influencers-to-praise-government/?fbclid=IwAR1L2F5ybJzWCKMJ1M2j7QOf_rTvzl148S3-gMKofaRMPhh93Tuk1lLfpZ0 Que the leftist peanut gallery..

Taxpayers forked over $600,000 to social media influencers last year for them to sing the praises of the Liberal government. Some of it was to promote vaccines, 155 K worth, Meanwhile, the Department of Canadian Heritage paid $142,000 for tweets on Canada Day and for ice-carving competitions in Charlottetown, Corner Brook, Fort St. John, Halifax, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. Among those who were paid to sing the praises of the Liberals was Dragon’s Den personality and investor Michele Romanow, as well as partner Nicholas Duvernois, who received $120,000 to promote Export Development Canada. 3 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

The other 20% isn't really described by Truenorth, but all of the above was apparently to sing Trudeau's praises...in the form of promoting vaccines, ice carving, export development and the Canadian Mint.

And for those of you that don't know each federal department has a PR department to get their message heard, they are either to dumb to do that or they just like spending tax payers money....

Looks like CTV has finally picked up on the story so its okay for you to acknowledge it now and criticize it. And no it wasn't just to promote vaccines. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/feds-spent-more-than-600k-hiring-influencers-in-2021-1.5842024 "According to a CTV News analysis of documents recently tabled in the House of Commons, more than a dozen federal departments and agencies employed influencers to help get their messages out in the last year."

The numbers aren't what are being questioned. The retarded TNC article the hot-take title it used are. I don't know about you but I'm not really too concerned with $142,000 spent on heritage and cultural events on the federal level. That's about as small-potatoes as things get but when you're posting a new thread daily on this forum I guess you really have to reach for things to get upset about.

You actually complaining about people starting new threads on a political forum? Talk about "retarded". Anyway back to the topic at hand. Seems a little ridiculous that taxpayer dollars continue to be abused by a government. You might say "what's the big deal"? But it's 600k here, half a billion to some shady charity who gives Trudeau's mom some speaking engagements. Another 600 million to buy off the media. Soon enough you are in a large deficit. Pretty sure if they would resist the urge to use the taxpayer's funds as if they were political contributions to the LPOC we wouldn't be in billions if not trillions of dollars worth of debt. Sort of like your household.. if you find you are running out of money at the end of the month, maybe you need to cut out that meal out or resist the urge to buy the newest designer shoes Edited March 31, 2022 by West 1 Quote

No, I laughed at the article, and the OP, because both were freaking dumb. I don't need any sources to support that conclusion, because the article's title was absurd to begin with. The thread title here was even dumber, and it was coming from loser sources like Blacklock and TNC. I knew it was a bullshit article, but then you proceeded to explain exactly why it was bullshit with a breakdown of the numbers. Thanks? The funniest thing about all of it is that the conspiracy clown parade derides the "MSM" as not credible but then holds up demonstrably worthless sources like those above as the alternative. Why? Not because they're credible, but because they repeat what their views back to them.

Yes. Very petty. I don't know what else to call it. I've already highlighted that I didn't say what you are pretending I did, but you're persisting in arguing that a claim I never even made was not accurate. That's pretty silly.
