Even the CTV has done a recent story on the youtube fake accounts around these stories and in particular the Alberta separation. They are either AI slop or paid voice actors. There are tells for Canadians to recognize these fake videos, in particular the way they pronounce names of cities or areas. We will always have a small segment of our society that want to separate from Canada, I will never understand, like just effing leave, but no they want the rest of us to suffer for their beliefs.
The problem is, we too have some dumb asses and greedy grifters here, one prime example is the owners of the Ostrich farm who outright lied about the circumstances of the farm and used "Americans" to raise their profile and grift money from donations. It was all a scam, they knew damn well the herd was infected and the consequences. Most real farmers would have insurance to cover but alas they are the types always looking for an instant get rich scheme, they thought they would get by selling eggs or whatever to the ever grifting and in many cases fake cosmetic industry.
We need to educate those in our society that fall victim to these deceiving idiots.
