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 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

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.

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.
