Liberals CENSORING Social Media with ‘Foreign Interference Misinformation, Disinformation & Malinformation ie. Fake News’ as Excuse… Fact: No Concern of Foreign Meddling during last two Federal Elections

Just the other day, we were called Russian Bot, Chinese Spy, and even Indian Voodoo after we published a piece on Housing Crisis:-

Gen Z consumers say Buy Canadian movement is Unaffordable, and Young folks who can’t afford homes feel BETRAYED by their country… So, why should they stand up against Trump when Canada has let them down?

We’re wondering why would anyone have any issue over a complain on housing crisis, which is an universal issue affecting all Canadians? It didn’t take long before we found the answer in the following articles — It’s all about PROTECTING the incumbent power-that-be ie. the Liberal Regime aka Mark Carney & Co.

From our analysis, it’s not about “Fake News” ie. Misinformation, Disinformation, or even Malinformation… It’s more about Scandalous/Negative Information of the Liberals that may sway voters away from Liberals into the arms of the Conservatives as a result of the real issues affecting Canadians eg. Housing Crisis… It’s dirty politics.

Elections Canada has been in touch with social media platforms about election misinformation

Report from foreign interference inquiry said disinformation ‘single biggest risk to our democracy’

The head of Elections Canada says he has been in touch with social media platforms in an effort to address concerns about misinformation as Canada wades into an election campaign.

Chief Electoral Officer Stephane Perrault told reporters on Monday that he has reached out to social media sites such as X and TikTok to “seek their support to making this election a secure election.” He said he has been satisfied with the response so far.

Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault says people tend to overestimate how good they are at spotting fake and misleading election content. He says he’s contacted major social media companies about the issue to ensure a ‘secure election.’

“We’ll see what action actually takes place during the election. Hopefully they won’t have to intervene, but if there are issues, hopefully they will be true to their word,” he said.

Perrault said he would make his communication and the response from the platforms public.

TikTok, whose parent company is Chinese-owned, said in a news release on Sunday that it is “shoring up our efforts to safeguard the TikTok platform during Canada’s federal election season.”

“[There are] several ways we do this — including that we protect the integrity of elections by removing harmful misinformation about civic and electoral processes, partnering with fact-checkers to assess the accuracy of content, and labeling claims that can’t be verified,” the statement said.

Perrault cautioned Canadians to be on the lookout for bad information about the voting process in general.

“I encourage Canadians to use Elections Canada as the authoritative source of information about the federal electoral process,” he told reporters in French on Monday.

“I also encourage Canadians not to let their social media feed dictate what they read.”

The agency is launching a new online tool — dubbed “ElectoFacts” — that lists and debunks inaccurate information that is swirling online.

Officials monitoring for foreign interference

The government has set up two panels to monitor for foreign interference during federal elections. The Critical Election Incident Public Protocol Panel is made up of five senior civil servants tasked with publicly flagging foreign interference threats. That panel receives intelligence briefings from the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) task force, which is composed of security officials from agencies including CSIS and the RCMP.

No Concern Of Foreign Interference

Neither the panel of five nor the SITE task force flagged any concerns during the last two federal elections. But SITE did raise the alarm during the recent Liberal leadership campaign, flagging misinformation being spread on WeChat that targeted one of the candidates, Chrystia Freeland… More @ CBC

‘Fake news’: Canada’s online news blackout could affect voters in upcoming election: experts

Canadians are in the midst of a federal election at a time when they can’t access news on the most popular social media platforms — and as U.S. President Donald Trump’s ally Elon Musk uses his own platform to meddle in the politics of other countries.

Those factors are ramping up anxiety about the information Canadians will be digesting as they go to the polls. Some experts also warn we’ll be in the dark about how it all plays out.

The current federal election is the first since Musk took over Twitter and rebranded it as X, and since Meta blocked links to news on Facebook and Instagram in Canada.

It’s also happening after both Meta and X eliminated or limited access to tools that allowed researchers to study social media activity.

Meta blocked Canadians’ access to news on its platforms in 2023 to protest the federal government’s Online News Act. Musk bought Twitter in 2022 and used the renamed platform to promote Trump before being put in charge of the president’s efforts to slash the U.S. federal government.

Musk has used X to insert himself into Canadian politics before. After Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as prime minister and Liberal leader in January, Musk expressed support for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and reposted a tweet from last year in which he called Trudeau “an insufferable tool.”

Musk’s interventions led then-heritage minister Pascale St-Onge to accuse him in January of “meddling” and to argue for the CBC as a necessary counterweight to the online influence of Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

At a press conference earlier this month, NDP MP Charlie Angus said that X may need to be “shut down during the campaign if it’s being used to manipulate voters.”

He said he fears Elections Canada isn’t ready to deal with “electoral inference” by Musk.

“We cannot be naive and think that we are not going to suffer from major interference from the malignant actors who are in Washington right now,” Angus told reporters.

Aengus Bridgman, an assistant professor and director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory at McGill University, said many Canadians aren’t actually aware news isn’t available on Meta’s platforms anymore.

“There’s a very low level of understanding,” he said. “And one of the major implications of this is that Canadians might expect to find important news content — like this idea of ‘the news will find me in my day-to-day life’ — but in fact it won’t on those platforms.”

A recent study by the Media Ecosystem Observatory found Conservative MPs far outpace their Liberal and NDP counterparts in terms of online engagement — partly due to their voices being amplified on X.

In 2024, online posts from federal Conservative MPs drew 61 per cent more engagement — likes, shares and comments — than those from Liberal and NDP MPs combined.

Bridgman said Canadians have become increasingly worried about American influence in the election, even in the face of clear evidence of political interference by Russia, China and India.

He pointed to the popularity of an influencer like Joe Rogan, who he said “makes frequent statements about Canada that are completely divorced from the reality on the ground here” but still has a massive amount of influence.

There is concern about “American voices flooding the Canadian conversation with ill-informed and hyper-political opinions in a context where the United States, while a historical ally and friend, is maybe not anymore,” Bridgman said.

The worst-case scenario, he said, would see a tiny number of American influencers “who are not interested in the well-being of Canada” manage to “dramatically sway the Canadian election one way or the other.”

Bridgman said that would be “a much more dramatic form of foreign interference than anything we’ve seen.”… More @ CTVNews
