Calls for Trudeau to step down during ‘Freedom Convoy’ traced back to Russian proxy sites

In January and February 2022, a large number of public Telegram channels were created or repurposed under the auspices of supporting the “Freedom Convoy.” These channels initially shared information about the convoy route, solicited donations, discussed ongoing convoy-related events, expressed opinions about politics and COVID restrictions, posted links to news stories, spread conspiratorial content, shared calls to action and encouraged people to take part in the protests.

Many of the conspiracy theories posted in these channels either originated from or circulated widely in Russian propaganda networks, including allegations that COVID-19 is a bioweapon and/or that Russia invaded Ukraine to shut down U.S.-backed biolabs, claims that Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was a hoax and various conspiratorial narratives about COVID vaccines, 5G technology and tracking chips.

Examples of Russian propaganda and multilingual content posted in Telegram channels that were initially devoted to the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada. For now, we don’t know the impact of Russia’s influence activities, and the findings don’t mean organizers of the convoy co-ordinated with Russian operatives. Instead, the findings show Russian state actors and affiliates had a strategic interest in the convoy and reveal a pattern of activity that is characteristic of Russian influence campaigns.

Bontsy NatObserver What is the obsession with Russia? NONE of the Russian backed narratives have EVER panned out. IM Canadian and I was calling for him to step down LONG before the Convoy. SNC-LAVALIN/JWR should have been enough.

Bontsy NatObserver FkRussia RussianBankRun RussianBankPanic

NatObserver Complete bullshit. Just like all the donations were from “Russia” Only to find out 98% of donations came from canada by Canadians. Man you call yourself a “moderate centrist” I’m having a hard time relating to you as a centrist myself.

NatObserver Do Pierre PoiLIEvre was supporting these Russians sites!

NatObserver

NatObserver Not surprised at all.We know PeePee & con cronies all supported & encouraged RWNJ convoy besieging Ottawa/border points attempting to overthrow our duly elected sitting government,harm PM,DPMCF,RCMP,judges & CNs.,wanted to make it PM Problem,EA used.We call what they did TREASON!

NatObserver So the Freedumbers and all those who participated in the FreeDumbConvoy got played. It doesn’t take a rocketscientist to figure this out. They should all be running with their tails between their legs IMO PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou PierrePoilievreCourtsIncels ABC

NatObserver They still are!!!!

NatObserver Freedumbies.

NatObserver This is so passé, today thing it all come from Israel…

DavidWCochrane NatObserver I posted that when the trucks were on the 401 hiway. I was immediately attacked with tinfoil hat memes from unemployed unvaccinated free and dumb truckers. 🤦‍♂️😂

NatObserver Quite a few well-known 🇨🇦 accounts spreading mis/disinformation via Russia. UofC school of Public Policy.

NatObserver Like freedumbers will ever believe that

NatObserver Friends of PierrePoilievre?

NatObserver Bullshitt that's not true, Treadeu took our rights,

NatObserver Russia is winning the propaganda and culture wars in the West! Very soon, most western countries will be run the same way is run. We’re already headed there! Oligarchs BiasedMedia CultureWars CorruptionGreedandLies

NatObserver NeverVoteConservative PeePeePutinLapDog

LizBraunSun NatObserver Russian influence hey sweetie, the DNC is in the states, why you keep importing their culture wars here? racists

NatObserver Can we get a comment from the CPC? Or is Poilievre just a simple Russian stooge? PierrePoilievreIsBroken

NatObserver Have you gone mad?

NatObserver Using bitchute as a source isn't reporting.

NatObserver Quote 'making false accusations about his [Trudeau] government “ordering” the use of violence against demonstrators' Who caused this violence

NatObserver Pure PMO spin on history- Reminiscent of the 'Trump/Russia Collusion hoax' that CBC promoted for years. 'If you don't like Trudeau then you must be a Russian agent. The Freedom convoy was a Russian plot' - tell that to the truckers and see what they say.

NatObserver

NatObserver the convoy losers were a national embarrassment, and ultimately did nothing other than make life hard for downtown Ottawa residents, yes. but that 'CRIME MINISTER' sign is funny idc what anyone says

NatObserver Hand in hand with the conservatives?

NatObserver Even if it was, they weren't wrong about the fact he shud be turfed,

NatObserver Will convoyers admit they were the rubes at the circus? (no.)

NatObserver BS. Trudeau should step down based on Canadians. This Russian interference stuff is growing old.

NatObserver I think its time the PPC & the Conservatives were questioned on there links to Russia, the French National Front, UK Conservatives, Bolsonaro's & Oban's crowd as well as the GOP are all to some extent financed by Putin

NatObserver Bullsh*t , it's us Canadians who want this twit gone.

NatObserver Wondering if globalnews will report on this tonight.

NatObserver

NatObserver Will Trudeau link Chinese interference through some Chinese Canadians to 'Russian interference' through Freedom convoy? Probably not because he needs the votes

NatObserver You lying pieces of junk.

NatObserver Lol fake news aka propaganda

DavidWCochrane NatObserver This is utter bullshit, what about the Chinese assisting the Liberals in the LAST election?

NatObserver All Canadians would just love Justin Trudeau if it weren't for those damned Russians!!!.........right?

NatObserver author is an american who always resort to ...because China or because Russia. As such take everything it says with a grain of salt and then file it under 'G' for garbage.

NatObserver Anyone with half a brain knows the National observer is a bunch of Liberal loving, Propagandists

NatObserver

NatObserver Weren’t these Russian claims by Canada’s state broadcaster CBC were debunked now National Newswatch who reports far left viewpoints from leftist publications, biased reporting per Wikipedia

NatObserver FFS… not the *millions* of Canadians who despise him?

NatObserver No, I’m a Canadian, the cause is Trudeau himself, and his lies, his totalitarian ways, and the fact he is a WEF infiltrator. Russia give me a break.

NatObserver joerogan

NatObserver And how did that turn out? Didn't think so.

Davieagain NatObserver Libtard

Davieagain NatObserver Bullshit

NatObserver Convoyers are stupid and easily led.

DontVoteSplit NatObserver Well, duh. We were saying that the entire time.

NatObserver This is not surprising but glad it is being reported on. Need an inquiry into this, & expect things to be WAY worse next election

DavidWCochrane NatObserver We need to reflect in the dangers of disinformation and deliberate act disrupt to our elections. It’s easier to change the outcome of a single member district election outcome in a FPTP election than it is to change in a proportional electoral system

NatObserver So surprised.

NatObserver Caroline Orr is an unreliable source who misleads often.

Did Justin Trudeau need the Emergencies Act to stop the ‘Freedom Convoy’? The top questions the judge will address within daysJustice Paul Rouleau’s report into the Trudeau government’s decision to use the Emergencies Act to end the so-called Freedom Convoy could come out this week In the Canadian Justice System, we have seen the AG independence compromised, the RCMP Independence compromised, the Judge in the EA inquiry was hand picked by the Liberals... So it is a safe bet to expect more of the same. Because neither OttawaPolice nor ottawacity nor fordnation did their jobs at all, there was only 1 Option left to stop the 3 week abuse & harassment of Ottawa residents!! Thank goodness PMJT took action bc NO one else did!! Lol

Denley: It's time to move on from the Ottawa trucker convoy protestWe already know the main lesson from the 2022 protest: someone needs to step up and take charge. Logically, that would be the mayor. 🤦‍♂️ Exactly this!👇 “In the end, the protest was ended by determined and co-ordinated police action, something that could have been done at any time.” It was time to move on from it a year ago. We'll move on when they do.
