Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

Lol .... the louder they shout, the more desperate they sound

I take it as a good sign, the more they try to grasp at straws to sway people, the more they are losing any hope of popularity.

It's really telling how the right and far right have to constantly market to everyone on a regular basis and with so much effort all the time in order to stay relevant.
