"Facebook says it will blow whistle on attempts to interfere in election”
Unelected representatives of an out-of-control mega-corporation, Facebook, one which has demonstrated for years that it cannot be trusted about anything personal, are suddenly going to help police Canada's national election?
Truly, the whole Committee of Deputy Ministers' election initiative sounds like something dreamed up at the Russia and China Desks down in Langley, Virginia.
You know, something like that phony front organization, the Lima Group, Chrystia Freeland heads up for them as they seek to topple a democratic government?
We should have absolutely nothing to do with any of this. It smells to high heaven of being an American intelligence agency game.
Essentially, it comes down to a kind of interference in our election in the name of countering foreign interference. It's entree, a foot in the doorway.
Our leaders may well have no idea of what it is they actually are signing onto. Trudeau and Freeland sure have not distinguished themselves in that regard.
We need no American gimmicks for election security. Just the opposite, rejecting such nonsense is itself a security measure.

Well said.
Just an awful outfit.
And completely in the pocket of American intelligence.

"Mark Zuckerberg seems like a trustworthy sort of guy"?
It is hard to believe anyone sincerely wrote that.
