@GovCanHealth quietly paid $682K to Twitter influencers ‘not required to reveal they are gov’t paid because that would be embarrassing.’
I assume the disclosure is already being tagged to their accounts.
Update – meet a Health Canada influencer.

They’re no ordinary criminals.
Stupid government. Paying ‘influencers’ on Twitter which was pretty much a pro-jab, ban all dissent echo hole anyways….
And if you couldn’t see through everything and an ‘influencer’ pushed you over the edge after the free lottery tickets didn’t work, your survival instincts probably the best anyways.
Bone jarring disgust towards the “tolerant” in this country.
They make me sick.
The only way the progs “win” is by cheating.
Sound like the USA when looking at what our dems have done.
The Dems and the Libs are close. Kissing Kousins close.
Well there goes Trudy’s informed consent argument, using influencers to get people to take the clot shot is just the opposite of informed consent.
I always wondered why people like Trudeau, Ford, celebs giving medical advice wasn’t illegal. They never said, ‘consult your physician first’, just flat out gave medical advice. Shouldn’t the doctor’s unions been up in arms over this? Shouldn’t the provincial governments been up in arms over this? There was no chance I was taking medical advice from those clowns. A doctor told me, ‘Its your choice. If you don’t want to take it, you don’t have to.’ If the doctor’s union or government found out about that, wow, he would lose his job!

Dr unions and Dr’s are bought and paid for, and have been for years now. Have friend who managed 2 health clinics, and what I was told was eye opening.
Mike:
“Consult your physician first” …. who will then tell you what the gubmint tells him to tell you …. or else.
Physicians are no longer members of a profession in the classical sense. Actually, there are no professions now; only gubmint agencies.
Related: SROs — self-regulatory organizations — don’t actually exist either, i.e., don’t self regulate.
Don’t be silly Mike … they don’t call it GOVERNMENT healthcare for nothing.
You know, those righteous folks who are up in arms if a Christian anti-abortionist … “gets between a woman and her Doctor”. Turns out they were just pissed off because it wasn’t THEM between a woman and her Doctor … and a man and his Doctor … and every weirdo in between and “their” Doctor
I suspect that the Trudeau government paying for social media influence is considerably larger than this report. I think that they pay X-Twitter bot farms to spam conservative politician’s accounts. Other countries like the UK have used military and other government departments to influence social media.
As an experiment, for the last few weeks I have been muting posters that all use certain phrases repeatedly. At this point, I can see by the mute tags that well over 50% of posters on Danielle Smith, Scott Moe and Pierre Poilievre’s accounts are trolls. Are they paid influencers, government employees or bots?
Why can’t they be all three?
are you assuming that the government employees aren’t getting paid to be influencers, while running the bot farms?
Yes, I probably could have used and instead of or in the last sentence.
LC
In the USA, there are some very competent types who make a damn good living, paid by tax dollars, to lie for thw gobberment, suspect the same is true up here. That creates deniability, cover for pols.
Yep. There’s social media influencers, corporate coercion, military psy-ops, push polls, paid off media/journalists, grant directed research….propaganda is everywhere.
It’s called the CBC.
And yet Canadians will still vote for the Liberal/NDP coalition. Just keep promising free stuff.
John
Many people are just plain ignorant of what is happening, and they gladly stay that way.
Imagine the government sponsored influencer peddling on the pro-war Ukraine/ Zelensky racket!
That’s what happens when no one but the too few loyal drones watch the CBC.
State propaganda, along with public sector employment it’s Canada’s growth sector.
Did these influencers declare their income at tax time?
Or did they pull a Steven Guilbeault?
Chump change compared with CBC ‘influencers’.

Give her some slack, Tourism Saskabush is a tough nut.

Haha!
Now, now… play nice with my new home province.
But yeah… You have a point. Very little of interest out here in the middle of nowhere, SK.
Most comical is the term “talent fees”. What talent is required to sit in a parent’s basement regurgitating government misinformation or spewing vacuous pronouncements on cultural trends? Makes you wonder how much of the LBGTQWERTY crap is spewed by paid “influencers” formerly known as propagandists.
I have to wonder if the government also pays ‘influencers’ to troll some of the established political websites like SDA. I’m pretty sure they have people working the CBC and Red Star comment sections.
Colonista and UnMe come to mind – narratives straight off the CBC, BBC, The View, MSNBC, Rolling Stone, Huffington Post, TIME, et cetera………..Lock-step narratives!
Ummm… Not so much with Colonialista (although some of his sources, like Reddit, does raise eyebrows), but definitely UnReal, and I’ll even nominate Allan S.

And again you show how out of the loop you are. unME (unDORK0 and allan S are one and the same poster, as was timmyJ, an Andrew , B1, these name have identical style posts. As to orcCOLON, he/she /it works for a gubbermint entity, just as unDORK works for a gobbermint lab.
Dizzy.
So who’s alias is “Mr.&Mrs. Jones”?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Scary enough, the government didn’t have to waste the cash when they had sub-human trash like this more than eager to chip in and build camps themselves.
Someone posted this in the tips thread a few days back, but the internet is only now developing their schadenboners.

With regard to the Trolls in the above discussion, it is best to simply ignore and not respond, as that would be encouragement for more of their diatribe. I know it can be hard to resist at times, but if you don’t feed the Trolls, they will eventually crawl back under their bridges disillusioned and rejected.
I am desperately seeking eye bleach after viewing the “update”.
I did not know that the word spirit in two spirit was a euphemism for “Balls”
On June 16th 2021, the contract was amended to a total value of $888,417.30
Clicked on the link for the Update.
So that’s what a government-funded influencer looks like.
Figures.
There used to be only one niche market for that kind of talent.
that bunny suit is damn uncomfortable with twig and berries .
I went through the tweets of https://twitter.com/ChelazonLeroux and there’s not a single vaxx tweet there at all. Good money if you can get it.
Didn’t Harper once try to get Health Canada to state the dangers of pot on young people’s brains? Didn’t they refuse? I think they need a new name, as they clearly are not about Health.
I’d argue that this effort is not about covertly shaping public opinion. The few “influencers” I hunted down from the above list really don’t have anything approaching a significant (or even average) following.
It seems to be basic cronyism. Someone knows someone…”hey, I think I can send a few bucks your way, all you have to do is a post or two about this.”
So they weren’t content with controlling mis/dis information, they had a need to generate mis/dis information.
“Under communism, you know the government is lying. Under democracy you believe the lies.”

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY take all forms, but the punishment should be the same.
It’s all legit. The vendors are Mr and Mrs Jones . Nothing to see there, right? It’s just to “help people make an informed decision.”
Well this isn’t a surprise anymore than tomorrow is Friday.
As for the Health Canada influencer, should I send that “update” to my Moslem member of parliament and enquire as to his opinion?
There’s a whole bunch of sketchiness here – Who are Mr.Mrs.Jones?
14 influencers with dubious “influencer” bona fides. One twitter account I saw had 5 followers. Not exactly reaching out to a huge audience. Are there more we aren’t seeing? It’d be interesting to get the whole list.
Are we sure they’re not being paid because they’re a friend of a friend, married or associated with an LPC apparatchik?
Questions…questions…questions.
Mr.& Mrs.Jones Incorporated is a media company now called “the Jones Collective” – https://www.mrandmrsjones.ca/team run by Cathy Fernandes
Total value of the contract came out to $888k+

neither her nor her “partner” appear to have made donations to the liberal party, so that leaves the question if they are a liberal party vendor, because that information is concealed by elections canada, only giving a summary of spending by type… one might speculate that they provided influence services, and were rewarded with a government contract?

Are you really that dense? Those influencers surf the net , and spew their bullshit as they go along. I’v encountered them on Fakebook many times, and have seen links they put up, very CONvincing links. Some one has put a lot of effort into providing fake study links. Twitter was/is not a good place for influencing any more. Fake book is the best and most effective venue.
It has been amusing to track these social influencers who are now fighting turbo cancer or Pfizer face. A lot of them actually believed their own lies and got jabbed.
