🇨🇦 PQ Leader Claims Ottawa Spying on Separatists — Media Rushes to Mock Him for Lacking Proof
Parti Québécois leader alleges federal surveillance of the sovereignty movement, and the establishment press immediately frames it as conspiracy theory because he hasn't declassified CSIS memos himself. Convenient standard. Ottawa spied on trucker donors, froze bank accounts without warrants, and invoked the Emergencies Act over honking — but monitoring Quebec separatists is apparently beyond the pale. The same government that treats concerned parents as extremists and labels pipeline supporters as threats is somehow above keeping tabs on a movement explicitly dedicated to dismantling the country.
Whether the PQ has smoking-gun proof or not, the reflexive dismissal reveals how controlled the discourse is. Trudeau's Ottawa has earned zero benefit of the doubt on civil liberties, yet legacy media still acts as its PR wing. Sovereignty movements threaten centralized power — exactly the kind Ottawa has shown it will crush by any means necessary.
