The site is designed to mislead potential Poilievre supporters with promises to donate an unspecified portion of sales to the candidate\u0027s coffers

The site, which online records indicate came online late last month, is clearly designed to mislead potential Poilievre supporters with promises to donate an unspecified portion of sales to the candidate’s coffers, with no indication at any point that it is not related to the campaign.

Online archive services suggest the store’s Shopify account was created on April 16, the same day the website’s URL was registered. Also for sale are die-cut vinyl stickers featuring Trudeau’s head from one of his infamous blackface photos — complete with Aladdin-style turban, wide eyes, and extended tongue protruding over the future prime minister’s makeup-darkened skin.

The Poilievre campaign later confirmed that it was trying to find who was behind the website and if it had a way to have it shut down. No proprietor or contact information is apparent on the site, asking visitors to show their support to “stop #justinflation,” and promising a portion of the proceeds “will go directly to the Pierre Poilievre Campaign.”Article contentThe shop’s proprietor also appears to operate a Twitter account — featuring links to the store and its same video still of Poilievre as its profile shot.
