Abstract

Background: Political environments shaped by ascendant populism and growing anxieties over globalization have been compared to the early twentieth century, including concerns about the power of state-sponsored propaganda. The revisiting of propaganda analysis as a tool for analyzing government campaigns is thus warranted. Analysis: This article applies propaganda analysis to populist Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Federal Carbon Tax Transparency Act. Canadian journalism’s response is then measured through a comparative frequency analysis alongside the premier’s sensationalized “buck-a-beer” campaign. Conclusion and implications: The applicability of a reinstated propaganda analysis is solidified in the current Canadian context, and journalism prioritizing profit over democracy is discussed.

背景：民粹主义抬头和对全球化日益增长的焦虑所塑造的政治环境被比作20世纪初，包括对国家支持的宣传力量的担忧。因此，有必要重新审视宣传分析作为分析政府运动的工具。分析：本文将宣传分析应用于民粹主义的安大略省省长道格·福特的《联邦碳税透明度法案》。然后，通过比较频率分析和总理耸人听闻的“啤酒桶”运动来衡量加拿大新闻业的反应。结论和启示：在当前的加拿大背景下，恢复宣传分析的适用性得到了巩固，并讨论了新闻业将利润置于民主之上。
