A meeting of the European Parliament in Brussels earlier in the year should have been seen as a pivotal moment in Canadian politics. With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in attendance, a group of Parliamentarians described him as a dictator within a democratic country.
Never in Canadian history has anything close to this occurred. The magnitude of moment should be understood by all Canadians. It won’t be– a fact indicative of the nature of the accusation. In authoritarian nations, media are charged with converting damaging political events into conditions palatable to the general public.
Thus it was that state-funded CBC News branded Trudeau-bashers in Europe a gang of anti-vaxxer racists. One MEP called out the prime minister for trampling on “fundamental rights by criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists just because they dare to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy.”
Canadian media get to work. Sublimating the sting of accusations, the press apply damage control to protect the prime minister. As with so many elements in society, our media has undergone dramatic transformation. At one time a mechanism for objective news delivery, media now serve as a vessel for government propaganda. In 2022, the press work for Justin Trudeau. Naturally, this isn’t going to make front-page news. Neither government nor media are bound to shoot themselves in the foot in this manner.
The outcome is a serious “bubble effect.” The government-media goal being to insulate Canadians from international perspectives on our political arena. China does the very same.
