April 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Canadian government plans to spend $7 million to combat fake news from unidentified groups that will supposedly stoke “racism and hatred” in the next election.

Citing a subscribers-only report from Blacklock’s Reporter, the Western Standard reported that Privy Council President Dominic LeBlanc said Wednesday, “We should just assume the threat environment and the threat context have increased since our last election” from unspecified organizations who “want to disrupt and sow discord and divide societies or agitate racism and hatred.”

“Malicious actors who use technology to threaten democracies are always adapting and so must we,” he argued. “Elections are necessarily contact events, but people expect to have free and open discourse based on reliable information and not be manipulated by foreign state actors, by disinformation.”
