@author_matthewflagler: Misinformation doesn’t always look ridiculous. In fact, the most effective misinformation often looks exactly like something we already believe. In this episode of Can We Build a Better Canada?, we look at how misinformation spreads, why confirmation bias makes all of us vulnerable, how social media algorithms reward outrage, and why “I Googled it” isn’t the same thing as fact-checking. We’ll also talk about CBC and media bias, bots and bad actors, political spin, misleading statistics, AI, social media, and some simple ways to verify a claim before hitting Share. Because building a better Canada requires more than better policies. It requires informed citizens who know the difference between evidence, opinion, context—and manipulation. Before you believe it. Before you share it. Ask: how do I actually know this is true? #canada #misinformation #medialiteracy #criticalthinking #socialmedia
