Trudeau, Poilievre spar over misogynistic YouTube tag in House of Commons debate

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparred with Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre in question period on Thursday in the House of Commons, over the use of a misogynistic tag in several of the Conservative Leader’s YouTube videos.

A Global News analysis of 50 of Poilievre’s most recent YouTube videos showed that they included a tag – hidden from viewers – used by a misogynistic online movement that Canada’s intelligence agencies view as a danger.

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.

The tag, #mgtow, is an acronym for “Men Going Their Own Way” – a mostly online movement comprised of anti-feminists who attempt to cut women out of their lives.
