Samuel Grenier is a Quebec-based online commentator who built his name around being "Samuel Grenier, page publique", a persona that treats current events like an endless open-mic night, except the stage is the internet and the audience never goes home.
He appears as himself in "À plein temps" (1984) as Madame Bourrette, Samuel Grenier, page publique (2020) and in the series Covid19: Témoigner pour briser le silence, and he’s also linked to the Jean-Charles Cléroux (podcast) project.
Grenier’s content ecosystem stretches across a personal site ("Sam en Direct"), a YouTube channel, and audio platforms where he mixes interviews, commentary, and long-form discussions with guests and recurring themes, mainly arround fakenews themes. His own site lists frequent "chroniques," plus interviews (including Maxime Bernier, Éric Duhaime among others alt-right political figures), presented as part of his regular output.
During the COVID-19 era, Grenier became associated by critics and observers with the anti-vaccine / anti-mask protest and conspiracy-adjacent milieu in Quebec. For example, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network described him as an "influential" conspiracist figure and alleged involvement in organizing a demonstration that disrupted a major vaccination site for a day.
Since then, his brand has leaned into the "always live, always urgent" vibe: the microphone as a lifestyle, the headline as a hobby, and the certainty dial permanently set to maximum. Whether he’s uploading videos, promoting appearances, or circulating political commentary, the main theme stay to talk about fakenews. Grenier’s lane is simple: if it trends, it’s material and if it scares people, it’s content.
