Conservatives running Facebook ads falsely accusing Liberals of planning to legalize hard drugs on Chinese-language page GlobeBC

Conservative ads in Chinese that say the Liberals will legalize all hard-drugs. 'Previously, Trudeau legalized marijuana, he now intends to legalize hard drugs! If you want to receive latest information in Chinese, please like our Facebook page.

Mr. Trudeau has said on the campaign trail that his government is not considering decriminalizing any currently illicit drugs. Conservative spokesman Simon Jefferies said Mr. Trudeau keeps saying he has no plans to legalize hard drugs like heroin, crystal meth, and crack cocaine “right now.” Tung Chan, former CEO of the Chinese-Canadian social-services agency SUCCESS, who is also a long-time Tory supporter, said the drug ads are quite “over the top” and have stirred fear among Chinese-Canadian voters.

JesseBrown GlobeBC But we're not worried about fake news, or foreign or domestic misinformation campaigns though. Right?

GlobeBC AndrewScheer CPC Cons today r the same fraudulent Harperman Cons, liars and cheats! Liberals won't legalize hard drugs, it's just a CPC bullshit lie! Conservatives will legalize corruption in an effort to enrich themselves! cdnpoli elxn43 ChooseForward with TeamTrudeau

GlobeBC Honestly Andrew Scheer and his team should do jail time for the LIES, FAKE SCANDALS & HARMFUL RHETORICAL. cdnpoli elxn43

GlobeBC After Trudeau was elected, my Chinese friend (not a cit but lives here) said she was afraid because her friends back home told her he would legalize gay marriage 🤷‍♀️

GlobeBC Liars, what’s bred in the bone shows through in the flesh.

GlobeBC Why so much dishonesty?

GlobeBC Over a backdrop of debate footage, a voice warns, “In the French-language debate, Mr. Trudeau was asked whether he would legalize hard drugs, and he replied ‘not right now.’ Doesn’t such statement admit that Trudeau’s Liberal Party is planning to legalize hard drugs?”

GlobeBC “Besides the ads, the Chinese Facebook page has also featured videos with the same accusation. Two videos were posted on Thursday – one with a narrator speaking in Mandarin and the other in Cantonese.”

GlobeBC AndrewScheer show his sleaze factor with this ad. Canadians can expect all propaganda after the election to paint a rosy picture while he deregulates, cuts taxes to the rich, cuts health care, takes our CPP and leaves us with pot holes. Can't happen... look south.

GlobeBC Tsk tsk... that looks like cheating to me. ElectionsCan_E now you need to show you matter by doing something about it. By the way, there is a lot of subversive elections stuff going on in non-Anglo campaigning. Going on in BC forever.

GlobeBC ScheerCuts YankeeDoodleAndy

GlobeBC The CPC_HQ strategy has always been to distract, misinform, lie, spread doubt and fear, and creat chaos.

GlobeBC Disgusting!

GlobeBC K

GlobeBC Must be what's her name still advertising as Conservative. You know, the one that was fired...

GlobeBC DeleteFacebook and Fuvck Suckerberg

GlobeBC There really is no end to CPC_HQ lies. Imagine if they spent even a fraction of their time working instead of telling tall tales they might come up with a platform with actual value instead of fantastical cuts. disappointed

GlobeBC The Conservatives can only lie and cheat to try and win

GlobeBC The Conservatives cam only lie and cheat to try and win

GlobeBC ElectionsCan_E are you going to get off your arse and do something? Today was advance polling and when we got the polling data, there were so many errors and duplications. Are you even going to bother to pretend to do your job!?

GlobeBC

GlobeBC I think it sad that people chose to believe this despite it being an obvious lie.

GlobeBC CPC_HQ what the fuck is this ad ? Seriously, this is how you want to run a left leaning country, okay good luck, hey remember when you only had 2 seats in parliament in the early 90s.. I do.... Election2019

GlobeBC That’s an interesting method of creating the Third Party Technique. English & French Speaking Canadians might never hear about this but it would affect votes later. The rumor would re-emerge later without the Conservative party having to get their hands dirty a second time

GlobeBC AndrewScheer is desperate. And mentally unhinged like Trump. The cons will stop at nothing to try go get in and their fan base is not smart enough to research the garbage they read.

GlobeBC Wow this is disgusting man. Everything has a limit but cons crossing all the lines to get to the power. Shame on you Conservatives ChooseForward

GlobeBC Seriously

GlobeBC I call them the CCP because they are the Chinese Communist Party, and their use of “conservative” is a misuse

GlobeBC The disinformation by PierrePoilievre and CPC is just disgusting.

GlobeBC Fake News by left wing media. No wonder nobody believes the media anymore!

GlobeBC Not false at all I heard him say it during the french debate ffs....try doing your job.

GlobeBC

GlobeBC This is disturbing and disgusting by the PC party spreading lies.

GlobeBC CPC_HQ ....why digging up an old photo of Rob Ford for this add ?

lauferlaw GlobeBC WTH is wrong w you, facebook

GlobeBC Makes you wonder what’s going up Conservative noses 🤥 cdnpoli polcan elxn43

lauferlaw GlobeBC So Dens can run ads about Rs accused of being pedophiles, rapists, human traffickers, mobsters, blackmailers, thieves, traitors and grifters to name a few.

lauferlaw GlobeBC In the Australian election homophobic and anti-immigration disinformation was posted on WeChat groups targeting Evangelical Chinese voters. The Government were Koch i360 clients. MP Gladys Liu has subsequently been outed as a CCP propaganda operative.

GlobeBC Look...they even used an old photo of Rob Ford....

lauferlaw GlobeBC Conservatives don’t know how to govern or how to win free and fair elections. So they lie and cheat. We have seen the same thing for decades.

GlobeBC They are such a scum party

GlobeBC Dirty and shameful of the cons!

GlobeBC A little desperate are we? CPC_HQ

GlobeBC

GlobeBC He literally said this in the French debates.

GlobeBC The ConservativeParty taking inspiration from the good old realDonaldTrump to win power in Canadian elections

GlobeBC It isn't false. In the first French language debate Trudeau said something extraordinary about legalizing hard drugs that he has never said before and has not repeated in English. Trudeau often says things in French that he doesn't say in English. elxn2019

GlobeBC It’s not false. When Scheer asked Trudeau if he wanted to legalize hard drugs he said “not now,” which means that, at some point, he wants to do just that.

GlobeBC Facebook knows people will complain, but won't delete their Facebook.... It's sad, just let it go... you won't miss it!

GlobeBC How can they get away with this? Even if they’re called out, harm is already done. And they know it. You can’t unring that bell, you can only scold them for doing it. There has to be a more proactive way of tackling this problem.

GlobeBC Anyone reading this - please know that the threat to Canada's democracy is voter apathy more than anything else. Encourage the people you know to vote - regardless of who you think they'll vote for. Voter apathy leads to those who yell the loudest and angriest winning.

GlobeBC The great elxn43 disinformation campaign continues apace

GlobeBC i wish this were true

GlobeBC Conservative integrity.

GlobeBC

JesseBrown GlobeBC CPC doing whatever ratfucking it takes to win

GlobeBC This JacquiDelaney is why it's fair game for marlenejennings to call your boss LyinAndy

GlobeBC BoycottFacebook for starters but what do we say about the cpc party that would stoop to this kind of behaviour. AndrewScheer This is not ANY WAY for any potential leader of Canada 🍁 to be acting I will not accept the devolution of our elections into Trumptopia I will not!

CochraneCBC GlobeBC This false?

GlobeBC Voting day has not arrived yet. Vote Liberal now.

GlobeBC That’s what happens when our system allows ‘trumper’s” to be hired by our “electoral candidates.” This should be absolutely illegal; a window into consevativesstylegoverance

GlobeBC Conservatives lying again!?

GlobeBC Shameless conservatives

polly_905 GlobeBC facebook how dare you!!!

JesseBrown GlobeBC Are there not consequences by ElectionsCan_E for this behaviour?

JesseBrown GlobeBC We need to bring back shame. The fact that Conservatives feel it's fine to run outright lies as part of their campaign means they think Canadians don't care about a political party lying when the facts are readily available.

GlobeBC Andrew Scheer spoke to this with media this morning.

GlobeBC And they call ppc the PCP party. omg

GlobeBC Lies and deception

GlobeBC Does that surprise you? CPC all about cheating,lying and negative politics. News flash us voters don't like that

GlobeBC And, as long as they pay for the ads, FB is A OK. Time to quit. I have logged out of FB on all my devices and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Never forget that FB brought us Trump.

GlobeBC Man those Conservatives are desperate.

GlobeBC The left constantly misrepresents the right, so who really cares?

GlobeBC Disgusting Cons brightly shining their true colours 🤬

GlobeBC ElectionsCan_E is this not illegal How are parties allowed to blatantly lie and get away with it?

GlobeBC I hope Trudeau Thinks about pulling a Elizabeth Warrens move start placing some ads of his own . Harper & Scheer’s secret love life , Scheer has a kept lover in Alberta OR maybe Scheer was Harpers housemaid . The Con’s would scream bloody Hell that it’s unfair & lies 🤬

GlobeBC .CPC_HQ you would be forgiven for expecting nothing less from a party with NO ideas & has only installed front men and front women from the multi-ethnic diasporas that make up the high population centres in Canada CPCMajority of the time are precisely THIS canadavotes2019

GlobeBC Typical conservative dirty tricks.. can’t sway public with policy. So they lie and cheat to get votes

l_stone GlobeBC Better listen to the first french debate again

GlobeBC Conservatives always lie and cheat. ScheerLies

GlobeBC Doesn’t this violate election law? So what aren’t they disqualified?

GlobeBC This is disgusting and racist because they assume that Chinese speakers are ignorant. Typical of the Conservatives.

GlobeBC I wish it were true... the 'war on drugs' failed decades ago.

serpentina66 GlobeBC This is somehow ok and legal?

GlobeBC This is vile AndrewScheer CPC_HQ you should be absolutely ashamed of your selves.

GlobeBC How else could the CPC win an election but with fear and lies. Bums.

GlobeBC How low can the cons go? Wake up those who vote blindly for cons

GlobeBC Wow the CPC_HQ is pure trash. They should be in jail.

GlobeBC French language debate, check the tapes. elxn43 defundthecbc

GlobeBC Actually Trudeau did say that in the first French debate. trudeaumustgo Scheer4PM

GlobeBC Your Network is a disgrace, maybe hire more French speaking reporters. I guess you missed the French debate!

CochraneCBC GlobeBC CBC using taxpayer dollars to support a liberal narrative DefundCBC

GlobeBC And yet your paper seems to support the lying cons

GlobeBC Facebook facilitating fake news. Conservative beyond awful

GlobeBC We totally should, though.

GlobeBC Everyone knows the Canadian left would have every city in the country looking like Downtown Eastside Vancouver if they could. Limousine liberals love blight.

GlobeBC It is horrific. And not surprising at all with AndrewScheer ‘s bts in-the-gutter advisors & slimy trolls.

GlobeBC Just ONE MORE REASON TO LEAVE FACEBOOK

GlobeBC Cons lying? Says who? /s

occamsrancor GlobeBC “The liberals want to stop locking people up for victimless crimes and to reduce crime by 50%”

brigittebureau GlobeBC Ce genre de mensonges devrait être sanctionner par la loi!

GlobeBC Or wow.. the Globe has turned on the CPC_HQ just as the election nears its end.

GlobeBC This is disgusting.

GlobeBC Is the CPC_HQ acting in a criminal manner?

GlobeBC Meanwhile, the Cons are considering repealing marijuana legalization. The pharmaceutical industry is losing profit so of course the Cons are obligated to help them 😖

GlobeBC CPC_HQ really? That's how you want me to trust you? Lying and promoting fakenews? Stop bashing the opponent and star promote your plan. Oh, sorry, I forgot! YOU HAVE NO PLAN!

GlobeBC ElectionsCan_E another one to investigate.

GlobeBC Fake news really needs to have legal consequences

GlobeBC Exactly like the Republicans in the U.S., lying on Facebook

GlobeBC This should be illegal and disqualifying for misleading and lying to the people

CodexRex GlobeBC Is anyone surprised? There's a reason the cons have to change the name of their party every 8 years.

GlobeBC They are bringing the Republican approach to campaigning to Canada. Is anyone surprised? You saw what Doug Ford did to Ontario. Elect the Conservatives at your own peril, but don't cry about it when they destroy this country. I, for one, will never vote for their bullshit agenda

GlobeBC What the actual fuck

GlobeBC Maybe you should confront the CPC on their lies more pnpcbc CBCNews EvanLSolomon DonMartinCTV This election is total Trumpstyle

GlobeBC this level of deceit demonstrates how little respect the CPC has for its potential supporters. they are treating them like they assume they are stupid.

GlobeBC Just like Trump, if you tell enough lies no one knows what the truth is.

GlobeBC Of Course the Utrudopian Cult member CBC would do that!

GlobeBC Trump and Brexit/Leave campaign playbook. Conservatives have debased themselves this election.

GlobeBC This is what happens when these 2 run a campaign of fear and misinformation. cdnpoli

GlobeBC This is desperation

GlobeBC Andrew Scheer is a LIAR! Andrew Scheer is a CHEAT! Andrew Scheer is a FRAUD! cdnpoli elxn43

GlobeBC BoycottFacebook

PainterMom101 GlobeBC There is nothing that the Cons won't do to gain power.

GlobeBC AndrewScheer CPC_HQ you should be ashamed!

GlobeBC I spotted similar advertising ('liberals have plans to legalize hard drugs') playing on a display in a Chinese supermarket in Toronto yesterday.

MZloczewski GlobeBC Why have the Conservatives been given free reign to blatantly lie about their opponents?

GlobeBC Ok, ENOUGH. These purposeful LIES by the CPC_HQ has got to STOP. Dear God let the Liberals take victory & let's implement some legislation to address this libelous crap. Shame on AndrewScheer - dirty American politics. Is THAT how he wants to win? csiscanada ElectionsCan_E

GlobeBC In the last federal election Jason Kenney's staffers were doing this. Using Kenney's Twitter. Interview Nick Koolsbergen. He will know.

GlobeBC ElectionsCan_E

GlobeBC The smell of desperation is getting stronger!

GlobeBC We are sinking into an abyss where information is useless and we are becoming a society of segregated regurgitating misinformation zombies.

Garossino GlobeBC They are planning to legalize hard drugs. English media is refusing to report it.

GlobeBC Can the CONS be any more disgusting ⁉️

GlobeBC Dirtbag party 👎🏻

GlobeBC WTH facebook

GlobeBC Scheer4PM

GlobeBC Well ElectionsCan_E has done exactly nothing so far.

GlobeBC The Conservative Party is not a political party. It's an mob designed to promote personal wealth and power to a privileged few. They'll use citizens, religion, dirty politics and now even foreign nations to achieve their shady objectives. They don't give a shit about Canadians.

GlobeBC The CPC should be forced to not only retract this false statement, but should be forced to publicly apologise for lying to the Canadian people, and the person who wrote it should be fired immediately anything less is not acceptable 😡

GlobeBC Should this be prosecutable? Send them to jail? Huge dammage claim?

GlobeBC Fake news. Nice try

GlobeBC Desperate times call for desperate measures Sheercuts cdnpoli elxn43

GlobeBC Thee you have it! Another Prime minister hopeful who is already screwing with the Chinese !I guess we can forget him fixing all those Liberal trade issues we have with China!

GlobeBC More lies from the Cons! ScheerLies ScheerCuts ScheerDisaster ScheerNotAsAdvertised

GlobeBC As a Chinese, I really hate Cons. They fool a lot of my old relatives. They also hire many paid posters to attack people who will vote Liberal party by dirty words and fake news on Chinese forums. Repulsive.

GlobeBC Andrew Scheer's campaign manager says he builds creepy psychological profiles of voters. Hamish Marshall says he’s a 'huge fan' of using of psychological data to target voters, but cautions it’s 'not for the faint of heart'

GlobeBC The Conservatives have resorted to smearing the Liberals with...sound policy? I wish the Libs had this policy but it's the Greens that support decriminalization and that's why I'm voting Green.

GlobeBC

GlobeBC

CochraneCBC GlobeBC Hey which one of you is covering the 'cbc sues conservatives' story?

GlobeBC Uh er ah not false! Trudeau may be opposed but the rank & file not so much!

GlobeBC I didn’t know Rick Mercer spoke any of those languages

GlobeBC Well the libs agree with that what’s the problemo?

GlobeBC Stop lying Scheer

Jenn_Pastrak GlobeBC Hire Hamish Marshall to run your campaign, get a Hamish Marshall campaign...

schmaxford_ GlobeBC The lies never stop with the CPC_HQ, but their supporters have done nothing but make excuses for them since the beginning. We can call them out all we want for the fake news they willingly spread, they just don't care.

GlobeBC hmm i would of assumed this to be illegal.

GlobeBC Where is RobertFife when u need him? I expect a full page article calling for a judicial inquiry and nothing less.

GlobeBC Geeee for party the preaches ethics to other parties. Should preach what they preach . You think 🤔
