1. La Amenaza Existencial para la Democracia Canadiense.
La desinformación es percibida como el mayor riesgo para la democracia de Canadá, erosionando la confianza en las instituciones y polarizando a la sociedad. Existe una advertencia constante de que el país podría seguir el camino de Estados Unidos si no se toman medidas contundentes para combatirla.
- Disinformation is the biggest threat to canada’s next election. It is malicious, it is intentional, and it is relentless.
- “the greatest threat, the one that i believe threatens the very existence of our democracy, is disinformation”.
- Disinformation is an existential threat to canadian democracy the foreign interference report just dropped, and while the headlines scream "no traitors in parliament!", the real danger is being buried.
- If you want to better understand how the spread of disinformation on social media and from pseudo news sources can create confusion and ignorance and undermine a moderate democracy, look no further than the us. Canada, you are not as safe as you think.
- Incredibly worrisome. The disinformation is doing the same thing to canada as it’s done to america.
2. Fuentes de Desinformación: Actores Extranjeros y Nacionales.
Se identifican múltiples frentes de desinformación, incluyendo interferencia de naciones como Estados Unidos, Rusia y China. A nivel interno, se señala la propagación deliberada por parte de actores políticos, principalmente vinculados al Partido Conservador y a medios de comunicación de derecha.
- Disinformation will be on the rise in canada, from american, russian, chinese, and local sources.
- It’s becoming more and more clear that support for the conservative party of canada is driven and fuelled by disinformation. 84% of canadians with the strongest belief in disinformation vote conservative.
- Ask chatgpt who the biggest spreader of disinformation is in canada. Look at which leader supports and uses rebel news, western standard, juno etc. These are disinformation spreaders.
- “the maga cancer has been growing within canada for years, aided by a conservative party whose ideology is dominated by american-funded libertarian think tanks that traffic in disinformation.”.
- Yup - canada is under attack from disinformation and propaganda from russia, india, and now the usa trump supporters.
3. El Rol de las Redes Sociales y los Medios de Comunicación.
Las plataformas de redes sociales como X (Twitter) y Meta (Facebook) son señaladas como vehículos clave para la diseminación de propaganda y mentiras. Esta situación se ve exacerbada por la influencia de medios de comunicación con propiedad extranjera que, según se alega, promueven narrativas sesgadas y polarizantes.
- Social media disinformation is the biggest threat to canadian democracy.
- We are in a disinformation war too. One that has been ongoing for years on x, facebook, ig, etc. One that the cpc uses to its advantage to divide people with false narratives.
- Musk's fascist propaganda machine is now hosting a large network spreading disinformation about the canadian economy. Social media networks that fail to suppress large-scale disinformation must be heavily fined or banned.
- This is probably the biggest issue canada faces. Mis, or disinformation from american owned msm.
- The issue of election interference in canada through social media propaganda is an even bigger issue than elsewhere right now, i would say, because we already can't post news articles on meta platforms.
4. Llamados a la Acción y Estrategias de Defensa.
Ante la creciente amenaza, surgen llamados urgentes para que los ciudadanos verifiquen sus fuentes, apoyen el periodismo independiente y exijan regulaciones más estrictas. Se destaca la necesidad de una respuesta coordinada para proteger la integridad del proceso electoral y el discurso público.
- Be skeptical and double-check your sources.
- Take the pledge: protect our democracy from disinformation and election interference this election, u.s.-style disinformation and foreign interference are flooding into canada.
- Canada, and every democracy, needs to tackle this problem. We need media regulation that addresses disinformation and punishes social networks that allow it to spread, especially when they do so for profit.
- Hey canadians. If you encounter disinformation during this election campaign, just flag it with the hashtag househippo. Let's fight this shit. We know better. We were taught young.
- Canada has to get a handle on their information sources and forcefully push out disinformation and replace it with clear, nonpartisan facts.
