The social media accounts of two of Canada’s most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda.
The media outlet was unnamed in the indictment, but it was clear from details within that the charges referred to Tenet Media, founded in 2023 by the Canadian influencer known as Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donavan.
Among the people they hired last year was Chen’s longtime friend and occasional collaborator Lauren Southern, another Canadian far-right influencer with a massive social media following.

So is the case against the two Canadians going to be prosecuted in Canada as well?
