As a Canadian permanent resident: I wish these politicians would stop it.
Meta has proven over and over that it CANNOT be a source of trusted information. I don’t know about the other provinces, but BC has pretty good IT services in my experience, let the information technology people solve information problems. They should be doing everything they can to get people onto official sources of info where rumors and politics don’t compete with critical information. When I’m evacuating I should never be using an app that has parody news accounts.
X, Meta et al. Should never have become primary sources of government announcements, and now we are seeing exactly why.
