It’s not just X/Twitter it’s also Facebook. My city’s liberal candidates Facebook pages are flooded with Russian bots posting vile comments and disinformation about Carney. All the accounts are burner bot accounts most likely coming from Russia and India. None are local.
A network of X accounts is targeting Canada ahead of the election. The accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat.
