This is an education issue not a technological issue. Better education will allow people to recognize and process propaganda and disinformation as well as teaching their children and families to do the same. Unfortunately that would also allow people to recognize propaganda and disinformation from both foreign and domestic sources and would make things more difficult for Canadian politicians.

And this is a world wide issue. Some actively want uneducated as it's easier to convince them to vote them into power.
