Well I trust every Canadian to be able to verify the information they are given.

Did you miss the whole convoy thing?

Well I trust Canadian's on this weird unknown reddit copy* Any maple MAGA here? Some of these are lost.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

"Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness."

It's not about being able to verify, it's about the amount of effort to verify. I.e. people are lazy.

Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived

This is quite ironic seeing how you've posted something that qualifies as "the worst" without any verifiable evidence.

Canada Proud is a MAGA propaganda page.
