Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Don't let Canadian politicians use lawsuits to prevent journalists from reporting on their actions.

Donate to PressProgress to help them fight back.

For my English followers, this story is wild.

How a website that publishes AI-generated articles and read by basically no one managed to infect Google search results *and other AI chatbots* with disinfo about Canadian party leaders' personal wealth.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Highly recommend this. ⬇️
