around the world practicing post truth politics just proves that this mentality and paradigm is growing and making its way around the world completely. Another reason that has helped persuade me is cases of “post-truth politics” here in Canada. Justin Trudeau promised the Canadian people, a majority liberal-voter community at the time, 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015.

shopping. "Get down to Disney World in Florida," "Take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed." It reflects how the American president confides more in economic growth than the mental state of its country. However, with President Trudeau during the terrorist attack of Edmonton, he was quick to comfort the community stating “The Government of Canada and Canadians stand with the people of Edmonton after the terrorist attack on Saturday that … injured a number of innocent…
