However, since the rise to prominence of [[Donald Trump]] in politics and his ascension to the [[White House]], the once-conservative ''National Post'' has taken a hard swing to the Left in its editorial policies (due largely to the hiring of liberal agenda-embracing editors and reporters) and [[Mainstream media and Donald Trump|now engages in the same Trump-bashing]]<ref>[http://nationalpost.com/entertainment/celebrity/this-guy-couldnt-work-at-the-gap-david-letterman-wants-to-put-trump-in-a-home 'This guy couldn’t work at The Gap': David Letterman wants to put Trump 'in a home'] at the ''National Post''</ref> and propensity for [[liberal bias]], anti-conservatism<ref>[http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/former-canadian-flag-the-red-ensign-gets-new-darker-life-as-far-right-symbol Former Canadian flag, the Red Ensign, gets new, darker life as far-right symbol] at the ''National Post''</ref> and [[fake news]] (including making the same now-discredited claims of Trump-Russia collusion<ref>[http://nationalpost.com/news/world/its-official-trump-campaign-wanted-campaign-help-from-putin-government/wcm/3061d9a7-6aec-4f60-9dde-ff7b61c5d385?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NP_Top_Stories+%28National+Post+-+Top+Stories%29 It's official: Donald Trump's election campaign tried getting help from Russia] at the ''National Post''</ref>) as the rest of the [[liberal media]], as well as doing puff pieces on Canadian Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]]<ref>[http://nationalpost.com/news/local-news/prime-minister-justin-trudeau-flip-flops-now-slated-to-attend-calgary-stampede/wcm/6a9e9a84-4e60-498e-9052-ba62a2c417b7 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flip-flops, now slated to attend Calgary Stampede] at the ''National Post''</ref> (like the American liberal media have done with [[Barack Obama]], [[Hillary Clinton]] and other Democrat politicians) and celebrities while ignoring liberal corruption in public office. As a sign of its turn to the Left, the ''National Post'' (like other liberal media outlets like [[CNN]], [[MSNBC]] and the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] have done with their websites) has also disabled the comment sections on selected liberal-biased stories on their website to prevent commenters from criticizing the left-wing slant those stories have taken (although its Facebook page still allows comments). The outlet has even directly stated, "A [[social conservatism|socially conservative]] [[Conservative Party of Canada|CPC]] won't win."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ99OS6PnMo</ref>
Perhaps most egregiously, the National Post banned [[Rebel News]], a true conservative Canadian news outlet, from the Alberta Legislature in July 2020.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCmpuwfkbno</ref>
