Recently, when I’ve liked or followed Canadian content or their creators I’ve been followed by spam & bot accounts. Yes I’ve reported & blocked them but wonder if this is a concerted effort that you should look into?

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up.
If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.
If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.
