Narendra Modi has become the sole global leader with 20 million subscribers on his personal YouTube channel, as per latest data collated by Viennese startup Tubics. With 224 million views in December 2023 alone, Modi's YouTube channel had 43 times more views than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's channel. Overall, with 4.5 billion video views, Modi's YouTube channel leads the pack, both in terms of subscribers and video views among top world leaders. Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro is at the second spot with a modest 6.4 million followers on his personal YouTube channel, which is less than a third of followers on Modi's channel. Modi, in fact, leads other global leaders on the subscribers/video viewership sweepstakes on personal YouTube channels by a mile. For instance, US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron are at a distant fourth and sixth places with 789,000 and 316,000 subscribers, respectively, on their personal YouTube channels, as per Tubics data. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is way down in the pecking order, at 10th place with under 70,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. Video views and subscribers on Modi's YouTube channel are also way ahead of those recorded by the YouTube channels of other Indian political leaders.

COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says amid controversy surrounding government rapid test purchases.Trudeau faced questions stemming from a Global News investigation that found a rapid test importer landed an estimated $2 billion in federal contracts in 2021 and 2022, despite giving regulators incomplete data about its product’s accuracy.“During the pandemic, we were doing everything we could in unprecedented ways to get as many different ways of keeping Canadians safe as we possibly could, whether it was on rapid tests, whether it was on procurement of PPE, whether it was on contracts for vaccines, and getting the vaccines needed to make sure that Canadians got through this pandemic,” Trudeau told reporters in Toronto on Thursday.“There’s no doubt (there’s) lots of lessons to learn about things that worked really well, about things that we probably won’t be doing again in the next pandemic when it comes. But every step of the way through the pandemic, it was all hands-on deck with every different way we could do to try and make sure we were saving as many lives as possible, and getting our economy back on its feet as quickly as possible.”A year-long investigation into federal procurement revealed that BTNX, a small rapid test supplier based outside Toronto, deleted dozens of specimens, or samples, from a study it submitted to Health Canada.
