TORONTO -- Tweets criticizing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau have shown evidence of some bot-like activity from Twitter accounts that appear to share American right-wing sentiments, prompting concerns that public opinion could be affected by automated online accounts.by researcher Marc Owen Jones revealed that 15 per cent of accounts using the hashtag #TrudeauMustGo between Sept. 3 and 5 were ones that primarily identified with U.S. right-wing politics.
Jones, who has been probing issues of disinformation related to the Brexit, began investigating the hashtag after one of his followers notified him about #TrudeauMustGo. in response to questions about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweets in which he told four U.S. congresswomen to go back to the countries they came from.
Hundreds of those users have tweeted, specifying that they are not bots, but real people who oppose Trudeau and his party’s politics.
No Trudeau is doing a pretty good job of that himself
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
So what? Free speech. I'm sure some people in Canada will ramping up the rhetoric against Trump in 2020 if it already hasn't begun.
Democracy knows no borders as the Left-wings R doing the same, once they figure out how !!!
I’m Canadian I use a VPN to protect myself. I believe there’s more than me who does the same.
Wait it the CBCNews now using twitter account? Come on guys...at least attempt to appear like an actual news source and not the second liberal_party PR firm posing as news.
Considering that there's a 'Make Canada Trudeauless Again' hat out there, I'd have to say yes.
yeah because he isn't stupid or unpopular enough, he needs other countries to mock him also. Actually, that's 100% true.
ctvqp No
Nah, the Trudeau Gov'ts actions are amplifying the anti-Trudeau sentiment.
Will there be a headline about this in regards to 'left-wing' ? I am left - handed and am feeling 'left' out. Even that term is triggering me.
ctvqp No it is universal EVERYONE HATES, your boy !!
ctvqp 😝 Of course they are. GOP = CPC. All Trumps best moves come out of the Harper play book.
No they just know he must go as well.
I am Tredeau is an embarrassment
Even if this were actually true & you remove the 15% 'supposed' non-Canadians, you still have a lot of fed up & pissed off Canadians that think TrudeauMustGo
Are biased media outlets like CTV and CBC helping boost Justin Trudeau’s lagging poll numbers ?
Trudeau is amplifying anti-Trudeau sentiment. Nice deflection though. Justin is a greasy sleaze ball criminal liar.
Are left-wing twitter accounts amplifying anti-Bernier and anti-Scheer sentiment?
ctvqp Justin Trudeau, Gerald Butts, Bill Morneau, Catherine McKenna, Ralph Goodale, Anthony Housefather, Pablo Rodriguez, Melanie Joly, Randy Boissonnault, Darshan Kang and Kent Hehr have all definitely played a part in whipping up anti-Trudeau sentiment.
No, people just hate Trudeau.
CBC is spamming you CTV!!!
now do left wing. and wasn't it the libs hanging around with Bannon? do a story on that
Are there left wing union groups interfering in the election... geez i don’t know
There are enough real Canadian accounts that hate Trudeau, we aren't worried about American ones
Why not? Trudeau’s government and media are openly anti-American. Maybe they question why Liberals donated 250 M to the Clinton foundation. Then there’s the bball bet with Pelosi. Kim Campbell lunacy, Isis policy, etc. Thanks guys! We need all the help we can get.
Um ‘no’ why are you even following that
Da Comrade !!!
Evil falsehood. Your headline and opening paragraph reek of bias and attempted influence.
Do you really think we need the Americans to tell us how badTrudeau truly is? You’d have to be a dumb bunny to not know Trudeau is a crook
Blame on USA, Russia, China etc. CTV you are an embarrassment to human intelligence.
Im Canadian. Not a bot. Thanks to the internet and the ability to bypass mainstream media, I have discovered that Trudeau has a close circle of elite pedophiles around him. A simple web search for 'Trudeaus ties to NXIVM' or 'Trudeaus ties to the Bronfman family' will reveal that
No Canadians are just that sick of him. Americans don't have a reason to even speak of him he is literally nothing to anyone who isn't a raging progressive. TrudeauWorstPM trudeaumustgo cdnpoli C'mon October....
Why are Americans interfering in our election? Mind your own election.
TrudeauMustGo
I am anti-trudeau anti-sheer anti- May anti- Singhbecause all of them are full of hot air and there words mean absolutely nothing to me because the don't represent the people of Canada they only represent there agenda that they will force on us Canuckforlife
No, JustinTrudeau selling out to China is why he's losing popularity. I have liberal values myself, but how can you vote for someone who won't even stand for our core values of freedom, equality, democracy, and the rule of law. How hard is that?
CTV has got truth tracker the CBC has fact check both complete bullshit
TrudeaMustGo I am Canadian and not a Bot. FakeNews
Truth Tracker: ANYONE ANYWHERE that knows ANYTHING about TrudeauWorstPM would amplify anti-Trudeau sentiment ... he’s as dumb as a stump and the world is very aware 😂 TrudeauMustGo

I am Canadian and proud to be 'anti-Trudeau'....TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauCorruption
More like right-wing Canadians that are tired of the liberals corruption and destruction of our land. Trudeau one and done.
I really have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Here we go again...
NotaBot I am🇨🇦& Trudeau has to go. cdnpoli elxn43 TruthTracker
Canadians are united to support its citizens & prevent the reelection of Trudeau as PM. Canadians are also united w patriots fr all nations, w all who see & do not consent to submission to & interference by globalist elitist agendas. It’s a truly GreatAwakening 😉👌 ItsTime!
It should be against twitter rules when CTV News uses word truth...
Oh shut up!!!
Bullshit Tracker: this article
Why don't you talk about left leaning google or facebook influencing elections?
Yes, because 100% of Canadians love Trudeau and not one person would say anything mean about him. It has to be the U.S.
TrudeauCorruption TrudeaMustGo
I am a Canadian and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has been the WORST Prime Minister in my lifetime.
First the Russians now the Americans. Did it ever occur to you that Trudeau is extremely unpopular among regular Canadians? It is the MSM that is trying to influence the election
Talk about soon-senator LaFlammed shooing him in first. Talk about the enormous bribes you've all taken to reelect the child. Talk about how he was above the foreign policy debate. You are corrupt to the core, CTVNews.
Corrupt POS - vote wisely
A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. Does not matter if they tweet fro elsewhere.
Garbage take, CTV. Plenty of lefty Canadians amplify anti trump sentiment as well (including yourselves) It's perfectly fine to express opinions about another country's politics/politicians
Still trying to figure out who is right wing. So far it seems to be those who are patriots & love and stand up for their country.
No, Trudeau stupidity amplifies anti-Trudeau sentiment.
This is really too much. I have been spending too much time doing this but I see the reality. The ALT Liberals are worse than the ALT right. They are a disgrace to the word Liberal.
NotABot
Yep 🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬
No just normal Canadians
Probably.
So all those Canadian reporters sneering at Trump are legit BUT, when Americans notice the abysmal failures of our far-left PM, it’s explained away as “alt-right”. GTFO with your biased “journalism”. Shills.
Oh good lord. How stupid do you have to be to believe this?!
Not really, the anti-Trudeau sentiment is running strong and free right across Canada. They are just poking fun of SockBoy because there is so much material to make fun of. TrudeauMustGo
Not surprised😏
15% of conservative tweets maybe bots/ American, so just ignore the other 85% who are real accounts from real conservative Canadian's. Stupidest sht I've read all day.
Are left wing FakeNewsMedia outlets like and CBCNews participating in the destruction of a free and proud Canada? EnemyOfThePeople Communists
Not at all! Trudeau is doing it all by himself! He’s as fake as they come and we are tired of his lies and his embarrassing behaviour
Maybe people are done with his crap? He really hasn't done a good job at all. What about the left? ?TrudeauMustGo trudeaumustgotojail TrudeauCorruption notabot
Yes
TruGrope's own actions, inactions and words amplify the sentiment. Right wing US twitter being responsible is pure TruGropeMedia Bullsh*t. As to be expected from CTV. TrudeauMustGo
Lets hope so. He's gotta go!
Nope his own constituents are going to sack him!
They keep expending resources on this to help Justy and the Liberals. But even the 'experts' they consult conclude that all 'Twitter amplification' leads to is 'disenchantment'. In other words, a big fat fecking nothingburger.
So this is CTVs new propaganda machine lmao truth tracker Bahahahahahah
Liberal click bate from independent media.
Yes, it is easy to see the origin of the tweeter in their bio. Also the US flag in the twitter handle kind of gives it away...lol
Now do the left.
Truth Tracker: Are left-wing Canadian media Twitter accounts like CBC & CTV amplifying criticism of opposition parties & escalating praise for Turdeau
Another Telford Op-Ed.
What are ultra left wing google, Facebook (and the media) doing to influence the Canada voter? Because..
CTV doesn't even try to be objective anymore. Canadian Corporate Media is totally campaigning for globalist Trudeau and they are the enemy of the people. What unethical, corrupt fraudsters. FakeNews TrudeauMustGo Cdnpoli elxn43
US citizens are not as displeased with our PM as we are! He deserves every remark made regarding his incompetent leadership.
Nope! It's the stupidity, corruption and disregard for Canada that is causing the Crime Ministers negative sentiment! He is a disgrace to this country.
Funny. My home made election lawn sign is going to say TrudeauMustGo 😂
FakeNews
Don’t discount the power of single-sided rhetoric to manipulate people. These discussions often occur in silos on social media because people don’t take the time to actively educate others. Engage in the conversation or we might repeat mistakes seen in other nations.
No, people actually don’t like Trudeau. I know, that’s pretty tough for the elite left to swallow.
if the truth be told Trudeau himself is 99.9 % responsible for anti-trudeau sentiment, but trudeau’s media fan club like the Star , CTV, CBC and Global must be sensing Trudeau’s fall from grace next election and is already looking to blame someone, all voters have brains
Truth Tracker or truth being manufactured? Looks like Fake News. Is CTV as biased pro-liberal as TorontoStar ?
No
it sounds like something realDonaldTrump and his incompetent administration just because they don't like justin Trudeau and want the conservatives in because they have the same ideology degrade the refugees put children in harm's way and are homophobes
Wha That’s Trudeau’s job! They should just let him take care of it!
Nope but CTV is desperate to get him re-elected...totally fake news...and I’’m Canadian
