The Chinese government was likely was behind a “spamouflage” disinformation campaign targeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and other MPs in August and September, says Global Affairs Canada.
The department’s Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), which was set up to monitor foreign state-sponsored disinformation efforts, said the campaign was “connected to the People’s Republic of China” and was meant to curb criticism of the communist regime.
This is the same government that said the “most likely cause” of the Gaza hospital massacre was shrapnel from the missile caught on camera… Only for that to be disproved a day later by the same group that was spreading their analysis in the first place.
I’ll take my chances, thanks.
