How Canada’s far right is using anti-Muslim propaganda to target Trudeau
I’ve seen a number of these claims on FB and I’ve had people around the city mention this to me. Some people don’t know any better, but other s do and just don’t care about the lies they’re spreading.
The video shows a bearded imam purportedly heralding a plan by Justin Trudeau to implement sharia law in Canada, before cutting to an image of the prime minister sitting cross-legged in prayer amid a group of Muslim men.
Shared widely on anti-Trudeau Facebook pages earlier this year, the clumsy montage was presented as evidence that Canada’s 23rd prime minister is bent on subverting the judicial system to please Islamists – probably because he is a closeted Muslim himself.
