Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted a video on social media contrasting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s definition of disinformation at an event on April 24, and his claims that the Liberal government did not force COVID-19 vaccination on Canadians during the pandemic.

The video starts with Trudeau saying that disinformation is “when things that are false, things that are untrue, are spread by people who don’t know any better.” He made the comments during a question and answer session at the University of Ottawa where he and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier addressed the students.
