A British Columbia RCMP officer may be facing disciplinary measures for running a website that contains satirical comments about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the policies of his Liberal government.

The Church of Trudeau website, which appeared to be in operation last November and December, features a man who often appears in sunglasses and in a position of prayer. Descriptions on the website make what seems to be satirical comments about the prime minister and a variety of Liberal policies, including immigration, monetary, and the COVID-19 pandemic response.

Some content also takes aim at Trudeau’s remarks during last year’s Freedom Convoy protest, including his comments that protesters were a “small fringe minority.”

The website, along with its social media accounts on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, are no longer in function.

The man running the site has been reportedly identified as a Trail, B.C., RCMP officer. The Epoch Times reached out to the B.C. RCMP Trail detachment for confirmation of the officer’s identity, but didn’t hear back by publication time. However, RCMP has reportedly publicly confirmed that it is looking into the situation.

The RCMP officer involved with the website is likely facing disciplinary actions, according to an RCMP statement to Global News, in which a spokesperson said the contents of the Church of Trudeau website are “discriminatory” and fell short of the professional standard expected of an officer.

“The RCMP is aware of the website and videos produced by one of our police officers,” the statement reads. “The RCMP, upon learning of the website, acted quickly to have the discriminatory and offensive content taken down as well as address any internal conflict within the affected workplace.

“A fulsome review of the highly unprofessional offending materials was completed and administrative options are being considered.”
