Social media needs to be held accountable for Russian propaganda & any forms of disinformation, Mélanie Joly says … Will they go after Freedolph?

OTTAWA—For Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, there is one tool that’s not only paved the way for, but sustained, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: disinformation.

And she wants to position Canada as a leader in tackling misleading content online, starting with social media.

“Propaganda is not only happening in Russia, it’s happening in new virtual battlegrounds, which are our social media companies,” Joly said Friday in conversation with Janice Stein, founding director of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.

“So what Canada will be doing, and what I want to make sure that we push even more … is (that) social media companies need to do more to prevent propaganda, and to counter any forms of disinformation,” the minister added.

Disinformation? Would that include Freedolph’s successful effort to have the bought and paid for media white-wash her Nazi scarf photo-op?

The Star is on a roll today HMA is your friend.

Free Speech, Freedom Among Top Issues of Concern for Canadians after abuses by Trudeau Liberals: New Poll

Canadians are becoming increasingly concerned about the issues of free speech and freedom, a new poll finds.

Conducted by Nanos Research, the poll found that of all national issues of concern, free speech and freedom came in second as the “most important” to Canadians at 8.3 percent, just behind the coronavirus at 13.1 percent, and of higher priority than the environment at 7.5 percent.

With the latest numbers released on March 15, the ongoing survey has tracked Canadians’ top concerns every week since its launch in Jan. 2020.

Woke Liberals move to dictate what is news

What’s the biggest threat to Canadian democracy?

Horn-honking, bouncy-castling truckers? White nationalists marching with tiki torches held high?

Apparently, the popular backyard mosquito repellants ($14.99 at Canadian Tire online) are occasionally used as a racist symbol by white supremacists.

To hear the federal Liberal government and their media toadies tell it: Yes, truckers and lurking racists (backed by anonymous foreign funders and provocateurs) are seeking to undermine our institutions.

But the biggest threat isn’t even Russian nukes. It’s the Liberal government.

Freeland’s office “pressured” legacy media to change stories critical of her tacit support for Nazis

The legacy media in Canada is every bit as dishonest and corrupted as you and I suspect. Last month when True North broke the story of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland holding a Nazi banner at a Ukrainian rally in Toronto, a handful of legacy media reporters picked up our scoop.

Most wrote their stories according to Freelend’s Liberal spin – that Freeland had done nothing wrong, the any critics of the Liberals were spreading “Russian disinformation” and that True North’s journalists were to blame for writing this story.

This shit will sap support for Ukraine.

GUNTER: More falsehoods about the convoy are now being retracted

The CBC has retracted a second story it reported about the Freedom Convoy that turned out to be fake.

The first was the absurd allegation that somehow Russians were behind the scenes pulling the convoy’s strings in an effort to destabilize the Canadian government.

The CBC was just doing its job as instructed by the Trudeau Liberal Party – reporting fake news.

CANTIN-NANTEL: I went to Carleton’s “Journalism Under Siege” event, and the legacy media know they’re flawed

Carleton University’s School of Journalism held a panel discussion with members of the legacy media on Tuesday to discuss their role in covering what the school called “the siege of Ottawa” by “the so-called freedom convoy.”

Before it even took place, the event received backlash online for its biased tone and the apparent exclusion of independent and right-of-centre journalists.

Federal department gave money to magazine publishing pandemic misinformation

As the federal government was promising to tackle harmful false claims about the pandemic spreading online, it was giving thousands of dollars to a magazine spreading vaccine misinformation — including unsubstantiated claims that COVID-19 vaccines could cause cancer in children.

The CBC has publicly retracted a news story about the trucker Freedom Convoy that erroneously claimed that support for the protests had largely come from foreigners.

Cafe that supported ‘Freedom Convoy’ says it’s been evicted

After announcing its eviction and launching an online fundraiser, a downtown Ottawa business that supported the so-called Freedom Convoy has raised more than $30,000.

The Iconic Cafe, located on Slater Street just a few blocks from Parliament Hill, stayed open during the weeks-long occupation in downtown Ottawa and was used as a staging area for protesters — in some instances, prominent protest leaders would broadcast on social media from inside the cafe.

WTF? ‘The war in Ukraine threatens to distract us from the climate crisis’ says CBC LPC propagandist

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does not change the fact of climate change – a reality brought home again by another stark report from the UN’s climate change panel two weeks ago.

But the ramifications of this war are being used to raise new questions about Canadian climate and energy policy.

With gas prices surging a week after Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown wrote to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to suggest that she delay the annual increase in the federal carbon tax, slated to take effect on April 1. “Now is the wrong time for any new burden,” he said.

Minister in charge of CBC applauds legacy media’s convoy coverage

While speaking, Rodriguez also promised that there was more the Liberal government could do to “support” the legacy news.

“I think there are even more things we should be able to do. We’re looking into that in the context of supporting the whole ecosystem,” said Rodriguez.

PM’s national security adviser says Convoy organizers intended to overthrow Trudeau like its a BAD THING!

Convoy organizers had extreme aims, says PM’s national security adviser

Extremism was at play amid the trucker convoy protests and blockades, and there is “no doubt” that some of the organizers who came to Ottawa did so with the intention of overthrowing the government, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top security adviser.

Jody Thomas says in unpacking what went down during the convoy protests, the clearing of them, and the divisions the whole ordeal exposed, Canada needs to take seriously the rise of domestic ideologically-motivated violent extremism.

Two months ago, Thomas took on the key job as Trudeau’s national security and intelligence adviser after a long career in the federal public service.

Career civil servant. That’s your ruling class at work Canada.

Canadian Media Cover-Up International Condemnation Of Justin Trudeau

From objective news reporting to media protectionism for the prime minister. This is what $600 Million bought Justin Trudeau for the goal of twisting public perception.

While numerous reports from the United Kingdom are branding Trudeau a fake and fraud, legacy media in Canada continue to believe they are fooling our general population.

Canadian Media Silent As U.S. Senators Meet With Washington Truckers Convoy

In terms of media coverage, silence has ruled the roost since the convoy to Washington, DC began. We speak not of American media, but rather of the media monolith that exists north of the border in Canada.

What are the reasons for the collective silence? An attempt at logic: Justin Trudeau and his draconian Covid measures have been the primary cause for the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. The People’s Convoy in Washington is an outgrowth of the Ottawa protest. Therefore, the prime minister of Canada is the individual most responsible for the Washington protest.

Physicians who spread misinformation may be eroding trust in health care system, experts say

A small number of physicians in Canada are spreading misinformation and unscientific views about COVID-19, a trend experts say could undermine the response to the pandemic and erode trust in public officials and institutions.

Medical regulators are under pressure to crack down on physicians and other health professionals who say false or misleading things or prescribe unproven treatments.
