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.

Lets face it, if you are still on shitter you are either right-wing or extremely dumb
I’ve got family that lives on an island. They’ve been holding onto twitter as the only way to get ferry updates.
I only recently found out, so have been switching the family (and slowly other islanders) to Nitter to follow that single account.
I don’t think there is an “or” there.
IHMO it’s not either-or. It’s both-and
Sadly there are extremely dumb people that aren’t conservative, its seriously impressive how they combine completely contradictory opinions
my partner is still on Xitter 😭 I’ve tried but failed to convince them to abandon that shithole site
Sorry comrade. I feel your pain.
I have a good friend who has been mildly but annoyingly radicalized by Twitter and Facebook. I told him that I don’t click on any of the X or Instagram links he sends, and endured a tirade of nonsense, which I basically ignored. He tells me that “he learns things on Twitter that he wouldn’t learn elsewhere”. Yes, like Nazi propaganda! 😢
I’d include whoever works there. During the first year, ok, it’s time to find another job. Now, no, you’re just one of them.
