Aaron Erlich, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it’s important to make people aware of misleading information online. But he said the wording in the CSIS campaign was “not the most straightforward” and appeared to be an attempt not just to educate but to invoke fear.

Erlich said clumsy messaging can backfire, and he would like to know if the messaging was tested at all to see how it would be received.

All of this, and they could have just started airing the house hippo commercial again…

I don’t see what is “super woke” about this.

Extraordinary claims being made? The source the video links to is breakthefake.ca. You can visit the source yourself and verify whether random internet comments describing the website are truthful and accurate.

The remake is telling you not to be criticial but to make sure anything you encounter online comes from a “trusted source” or is “fact checked”. The website it tells you to visit is just woke propaganda.

Woke

Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

My son's woke kindergarten teacher taught him that he's actually a girl because he played with dolls.
