Thanks very much, Chair.
Professor Wark, it's good to see you again.
I want to pick up on the thread by Mr. Lloyd regarding disinformation and propaganda taking issues that already exist and amplifying them to sow distrust and social disorder.
If you look at the Tenet Media case as an example, there are stories focused on Canada, like “Inflation In Canada Is Insane”. Okay, that sounds like it could have come from any quarter in a more conservative network, but then they have “Canada Has Fallen”. “Fallen”, “broken”—we've heard that refrain before. Then there is “Canada is Becoming A COMMUNIST HELLHOLE” and “The Great Replacement: Can we finally talk about it?”
There's a pattern where it might start with something that is within the realm of ordinary discourse, and we get to a place that is incredibly sinister. Can you speak to that element of propaganda, specifically Russian propaganda in this case, but propaganda overall?
