This is all bullshit.

#Postmedia divided the country, by turning one of our biggest newspapers into an #American #Mouthpiece.

#StephenHarper divided #Canada, just as he's helping undermine democracies all over the world with his #IDU organization.

#MaximeBernier, #ErinOtoole, and finally #PierrePoilievre divided the country with their embrace of #Trumpist #WhiteNationalism.

#Trudeau tried to keep us together, and did pretty good considering the opposition.

“In my view it is no exaggeration to say that at this juncture, information manipulation (whether foreign or not) poses the single biggest risk to our democracy. It is an existential threat.”

canadiandimension.comHere’s one easy trick to combat foreign political interference in our mediaPostmedia has largely replaced local news coverage with paid content, including a long-running campaign for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, and under new CEO Andrew Macleod ordered its editors to hew even harder to the right politically. We are thus in effect paying foreign-owned media to feed us propaganda, an irony perhaps not lost on Justice Hogue.

the worst traitors of all may actually be in our own news media. “While allegations of interference involving elected officials have dominated public and media discourse, the reality is that misinformation and disinformation pose an even greater threat to democracy,” wrote Justice Marie-Josée Hogue in her long-awaited report on the subject that was released this past week in no fewer than seven volumes. “Some spread disinformation about candidates and elected officials who express views that diverge from their own interests. Their goal is to try and prevent these candidates from getting elected, and to affect policy choices and positions.”

Peterson [...] received funding from Russian broadcaster RT. “Enough idiot green moralizing,” Peterson’s rant continued. “Enough carbon tax. Enough bloody net zero. And how about this? Enough multiculturalism and destruction of the Canadian identity.”

some MPs had been “semi-witting or witting” dupes of foreign powers attempting to interfere in Canadian politics. While heavily redacted, the NSICOP report pointed a finger directly at foreign-funded Canadian news media

@Npars01 @gemelliz We have #ChairmanHarper to thank. And he’s still pulling the strings, desperate to get regain control of Canada 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong. Don’t let #PostMedia aka #FourthEstateFilth feed you their American propaganda. We know #donald wants #PP to win because he’s much more receptive. And #donald wants Canada’s resources and wealth. So the American hedge fund owned by an American billionaire wants desperately to sway our vote away from Carney. #GoVote

Canadian law used to forbid foreign ownership or control of Canadian cultural assets until Stephen Harper signed off on the postmedia deal.

@the1dlcguy When the Postmedia - Sun merger deal was proposed a decade ago, I mistakenly assumed that the Canada Competition Bureau would be looking at and adjudicating the competition of editorial diversity and independence between the two news chains, but that was not their concern. The Competition Bureau's focus was instead on commercial aspects like whether the advertisers would still get a fair shake under the merger.
Astounding I know.
