Chrystia Freeland reacts to Poilievre's YouTube channel using hidden misogynistic tag

A Global News investigation found that Pierre Poilievre’s official YouTube videos included a hidden tag appealing to a misogynistic online movements that Canada’s intelligence agencies view as a danger.

Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland commented on the findings on Thursday, saying she hoped political leaders would acknowledge the threats faced by women and girls are real, and that they would ensure their actions won’t put women in further danger rather than keeping them safer.

A Global News analysis of 50 of Poilievre’s most recent YouTube videos showed that they included a tag that is an acronym for “Men Going Their Own Way," a mostly-online movement comprised of anti-feminists who attempt to cut women completely out of their lives.

The tag, According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the movement overlaps with more aggressive forms of “male supremacy.”

The tag helps promote Poilievre’s videos among those circles, and signals to YouTube what users might be interested in the Conservative leader’s messaging.

Freeland almost ignored the reporters until she realized the question wasn't about her or her own actions. Interesting I'd say.

[amo_res]

She keeps saying misogyny and sexism when she literally holds one of the highest position in government.

[conservativeclips]

Gotta love how Global News uses the tag after criticizing Pierre for it 🤣🤣🤣

[SkulledSteve]

We need Pierre to get us out of this bloody nightmare of hypocrites

[nancyjohnson]

I am a feminist, I am a mother, I am a grandmother. I support Pierre! You guys are grasping at straws and we all see through your garbage.

[jagorit]

Honest to God Global. Lies into Hypocrisy. (Using the tag?) This is disgustingly low for a network, but sounds about right for Global News huh

Canadian politicians are an embarrassment. Our Deputy Prime Minister crediting these childish claims is a testament to that. If our government spent time addressing real Canadian issues, as opposed to these baseless attacks, we might be seeing our country progressing. Instead citizens are forced to sit back as our countries quality of life withers away. It's shameful our media even dedicates time and energy to this.

[jbagger]

Look at how she lights up as the scripted question is being asked.

[trivialgravitas]

So it's ok for global news to use it. This "journalism" smells of cope.

[Dr.Dumpnpump]

Here it comes!!! We knew they’d try this, Pierre even warned this was coming.

Im A Voting, Canadian citizen, woman and mother and I have been called a misogynist by my own P.M. Further the rate at wich language and term definitions are changed in this day in age you cant.keep up and im not talking about teenage slang. Im voting for P.P but maybe 'i just experienced this differently'

[oliverfurtado]

I can’t stand her this government needs to go

[CDNGoMangoSRT]

Unfortunate fact, she has zero economic and financial education yet she was appointed this role. She carries a degree in Russian cultural studies and some other irrelevant education. So the question is, who's doing her job?

[kenrogers]

Every Canadian taxpayer and potential voter should have to watch the joke they are paying for on today's question period. Students in a classroom, all grades, would be strongly reprimanded for the childish behavior displayed there today.

[JRJMC]

Global News! The voice of the Liberal party!

[airdogg]

This is pretty much s kamala Harris word salad about a subject she obviously doesn't understand.

[livingbeinghuman]

Liberal HACKERS obviously planted this hashtag. Loved Poilievres' comeback. What a great leader this man is. Can't wait for him to be PM.

[andrewjames]

Notice how she mentioned her son as an afterthought after proclaiming being a feminist.

[dhosquet]

Global already starting their hit jobs on Pierre....whilst bowing to their saviour Justin Almighty. I can't wait to never hear Freeland's voice again...

[solitarybell]

Who cares what Freeland thinks she’s dust in the wind soon
