Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us today.
Mr. Finkelstein, I'll start with you.
You said that “we're being fed a conflict.”
I'd like to look at the situation at a broader level. Oftentimes, when I talk to people in Trois‑Rivières about the Ukraine-Russia war, for instance, they tell me that everything they're hearing indicates that Ukraine is good and Russia is bad. The same can be said of many other conflicts.
To some extent, we are all targets of a narrative being pushed on us by social media or, I fear, sometimes even news agencies or media organizations with a wider reach.
How are ordinary people supposed to navigate that to get a clear sense of the issue? In the example I just gave, the message is that Ukraine is in the right and Russia is in the wrong. That may well be true, but how are people who aren't experts on the issue supposed to make up their minds?
