Leaked documents show the Canadian Forces under the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are looking at using the country’s military to create an organization to shape the “attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of audiences.”

In an October Ottawa Citizen report, the newspaper said it was able to obtain documents which they claim show a government plan on creating a new Defense Strategic Communication group.

Target audiences for the new propaganda group would be Canadians as well as foreign nationals in places where the Canadian Forces operates.

John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, told LifeSiteNews that in a democracy such as Canada, the military’s purpose is to defend the country from threats, not to try and influence people’s opinion.

“The military has no business trying to influence public opinion in any way shape or form, and in fact, no government body does,” Carpay told LifeSiteNews.

“In a democracy, the purpose of the military is to defend the country from external threats and possibly, potentially from internal violent rebellion.”

According to the Citizen, some aspects of the documents – which are still in draft form – have already been carried out on the Canadian public.

The leaked documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen come after an October report from the same newspaper which described how the Canadian Forces had spent over $1 million on “behaviour modification training” from the SCL Group, which is the parent firm of Cambridge Analytica.

In October, the Canadian Forces were compelled to publicly admit that they had already started propaganda initiatives on citizens. This came about after a letter sent to residents in the province of Nova Scotia warning them of a pack of wolves on the loose was deemed fake by the provincial government.

The “wolves” propaganda campaign was carried out by information warfare specialists from the Halifax Rifles reserve unit, who went as far as generating wolf sounds using speakers, along with forging the logo of the Wildlife Division of Nova Scotia’s Department of Lands and Forestry or their scheme.
