Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is under pressure to explain how a hidden misogynistic phrase was used to promote his YouTube videos over the last four years.
Global News revealed Thursday that 50 of Poilievre’s most recent YouTube videos included a hidden tag — #mgtow, which stands for “Men Going Their Own Way” — linked to misogynistic, mostly online communities. The tag helped promote Poilievre’s videos — such as his recent tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, videos from his leadership rallies and his messages on inflation and affordability — but was not visible to viewers.
Sabotage, ignorance or incompetence from within his team? I suspect a little of 2 & 3.
