Meet Jeff Ballingall. He runs ''Canada Proud'', a popular facebook page.

From the article:

Canada Proud often posts news updates, citing mainstream news sources that are barred from sharing their content on Facebook. The posts sometime add misleading details not found in the original reports, according to a review by The Times.

One of its posts this month said Markey Carney had suspended his campaign because of “connections with China” and cited a major Canadian news outlet, Global News, as its source. But the Global News article didn't mention connections to China

Canada Proud, which describes itself as a “grass-roots group of Canadians” concerned about the country’s direction, is run by Mobilize Media Group, a public affairs firm that has worked for Conservative Party candidates.
