So, the "sexual assaulter Donald Trump" is the correct term, since thats part of what he was convicted of in the Carrol case. Good to have that cleared up, I guess?

Charlie Angus on the Conservative Swamp of Disinformation
YouTube video by Charlie Angus Charlie Angus on the Conservative Swamp of Disinformation

The Conservatives are creating a swamp of media disinformation.
This is what elected Trump.
They have attacked CBC, CTV, Global, the Toronto Star, Canadian Press.
It is about undermining independent media that can hold politicians accountable.
