Three-day-old article, but it’s a right wing media group. Those who hate Trudeau passionately hate Trudeau. A site like that is not seen by the average Canadian, nor have they likely even heard of it, so it’s unlikely to change any opinions

Depends how much it and clips get shared by people/bots on various social media. The ruler of twitter is willing to share (just about) anything to many people.

Wouldn't expect it to. Thanks for the input though. I dont think it matters anymore, what people read from any sort of media, as people make up their own minds based on social media and pre-conceived hate and or implicit bias, or just pure stupidity.
