I don’t think there’s more disinformation as before in terms of % of info being wrong, but a lot of people have gotten really good at calling it out. The best example on-hand is the “cigarettes are good for you actually” and “we will buy tramways put of every city in North America and tear them out, then sell you a car!”
It’s always been like this.
At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.
