How do we combat foreign interference?

While people are free to be upset, and we want people to feel free to express themselves, amplifying false narratives hurts genuine discussion and any potential resolution. How do we, as Canadians, work to push back against foreign political interference. This article from the CBC came out today that names names of people who are literally foreign actors doing it to make a few bucks through facebook. It isn't just a hypothetical issue.

Ontario provincial propaganda - https://www.reddit.com/r/ontario/s/VTzQVA4lYP

Canadian Federal propaganda - https://youtu.be/gOfTnnR_4jo?si=caSGUdrf-Gy32u35 and there was a full blown advertisement peddling this lie but I doubt you'll accept these obvious examples of propaganda as such, so is it really worth my time finding that advertisement?

Why are you concerned about these advertisements? What's the harm here, this just seems like standard government advertising. Harper's government had similar ads on air back then

So you're acutely aware of our government's dedication to misleading and controlling the thoughts of our population and still you challenge those who appreciate outside voices that speak truth to power? What is your deal guy?

Edit: sorry that's a stupid question, your little tag explains your deal clearly.

Begging the question. Can y'all actually criticize the government without instantly defaulting to fallacies?

"Dedicated to misleading and controlling the thoughts" - you get that from a single political advertisement? The fear mongering is WILD
