Every democratic election is targeted. Some more than others.
Election interference, once a pretext for war, is SOP now.
And USA. Come on.
And the US.
They were already enormously successful with the US last year, so now onto its neighbors.
I mean the US will be targeting our election.
That was my first thought exactly
And Musk-rat.
And here in /c/Canada is just where we'll see it.
I've heard reports it's already ramping up on the Meta platforms.
You should encourage people off of the book of faces. One replacement is Mastodon on the mstdn.ca server.
I know it is less friendly than the Zuk’s system but it is not hosted by an US server.
I recentely deleted all my meta accounts. Still a few weeks until its permanent.
The Hybrid War really ramps up close to an election. We've had some pretty serious attacks during a the last elections. Germany held and Romania as well. Though the latter had to take some really serious action. Hopefully your security services can keep a lid on it.
How can I help fight this crap?
Defend CBC to your family and friends and coworkers if you can. We're probably not really the target audience for misinformation, but they might be,. Their votes count and they can spread that misinformation too
Honestly I've never actually needed to defend them to anyone in person.
This. I used to kinda get why people hate on CBC. But now? It's needed more than ever.
Use an adblocker and avoid social media. Use only official sources of information (i.e. party's official website, elections canada, etc.).
Avoid news that's either American owned, heavily bias (left or right), or seems influenced to post clickbait.
Contact elections Canada about placing safeguards!
That’s a good idea, thank you

Consternation about election interference from everyone except US and Israel, makes it much cheaper for the latter to buy our election winners. Headline is also equivalent to saying anyone opposed to war is a secret agent of these countries. War can never be a demented evil that costs Canadians in their "force amplification" role, opposition to war can only be pro enemy (that the US/Israel told us should be our enemy).
