Between doomsday-saying op-eds and fear-mongering pundits, the Canadian legacy media was in a full-blown meltdown when covering President Donald Trump’s election victory on Tuesday night.

True North compiled a list of some of the legacy media’s most dramatic moments in the wake of Trump’s victory.

Trump’s election strategy “directly out of Hitler’s playbook”

The CBC’s US election coverage hosted a Democrat strategist who compared Trump’s election strategy to “Hitler’s playbook.”

Canada’s public broadcaster @CBCNews is now comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and denying the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

After a question from the CBC regarding Trump saying the 2020 election was rigged, Kevin Sheridan, the Republican strategist noted how the Hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed by the media and tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta. He referenced a poll that found that Americans would have voted for Trump if the laptop story was real.

Aisha Mills, the Democrat’s Strategist on the show, began saying that Trump’s strategy to win the election came “directly out of Hitler’s playbook.”

“You’re talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump. This is not new. This is not surprising. This is directly out of Hitler’s playbook. This is out of an autocrat playbook,” Mills said.

She said Trump has “masterfully” gotten the majority of Americans to believe “the game” is rigged against them, to sow distrust in public institutions and “the free press.”
