Instagram Controversy
In the weeks leading up to the 2025 election, Joseph's official Instagram page @natilien_josephofficiel was discovered to be following around 1000 accounts with explicit sexual content. 20 days before the election, an April 8 post on Facebook page L'Actualité en mèmes showed an image of Joseph on a background of such followed pages with the caption "I didn't have time to show up for the debate against (incumbent Bloc Québecois candidate) Denis Trudel, I was busy," referencing Joseph's last minute withdrawal from a radio debate on radio FM 103,3, claiming a scheduling conflict, despite having agreed in advance to the themes, conventions and scheduling. In the end, Trudel was the only candidate who showed up for the radio debate.
The next day, April 9, 2025, Le Courier du Sud reported that more than 900 accounts had been unfollowed during the night. When reached for comment, Joseph claimed this account had been hacked, and that his team was investigating the incident.
On April 10, 98.5 FM radio program Lagacé le matin cast doubt on Joseph's statement his Instagram page has been hacked and mocked the candidate's lack of discretion in not separating his political aspirations and personal pursuits. On the same day, a petition demanding Joseph's withdrawal focusing on the offensiveness to women of the explicit sexual nature of the Instagram follows was started on change.org.

Why this record matters
“Natilien Joseph” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Natilien, Joseph and Canadian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q134279305. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 1000.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
