The far-right media outlet at the centre of a US Department of Justice indictment over an alleged foreign influence campaign involving covert funding from Russia also produced dozens and dozens of videos this year focused on Canada.

. . .

Tenet Media’s YouTube channel, which counted 316,000 subscribers, went offline Thursday afternoon, nearly a day after the indictment was announced.

However, an analysis of Tenet Media YouTube content preserved by PressProgress prior to its takedown has identified at least 51 videos focused on topics relating to Canada, including videos focused on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other hot button right-wing culture war topics.

Canada is 1/10 the population of the USA.

That's a significant number of alarmingly stupid Canadians.

Assuming each view is a unique visitor, which is highly unlikely, it would only be 1% of our population. This is low penetrative. Now, how many of these visitors were passing on this misinformation to their creditors friends, that's another question.
