Alberta Federation of Labour President Gil McGowan said too many Albertans “have fallen down internet conspiracy rabbit holes.”
“It helps explain why the UCP [United Conservative Party] won,” said McGowan in a Tuesday tweet.
McGowan was commenting on a poll from Ekos Research which showed 88% of people were exposed to a high amount of disinformation voted UCP. The poll found one-tenth of those voted Alberta NDP, and 2% selected other.
It said 84% of those exposed to no disinformation voted NDP. Another 15% voted for the UCP, and 1% were other.

Read MoreIs there a bullshit blind spot? A series of two studies recently found that people who were the worst at detecting bullshit not only grossly overestimated their detection ability, but also overestimated their ability compared to other people. In other words, they not only believe that they are better at detecting BS than they actually are, they also believe that they are better at it than the average person.
At the same time, those who were best at detecting BS not only underestimated their own performance but also believed that they were slightly worse at detecting BS than the average person. This research was published in Thinking & Reasoning.

Read MoreProject Veritas, which ousted its founder James O’Keefe earlier this year, has filed a lawsuit against O’Keefe alleging financial misdoings. Veritas is a 501c(3) not-for-profit that subsists on donations. The suit was filed in New York.
“Being known as the founder of an organization does not entitle that person to run amok and put his own interests ahead of the organization,” the suit claims, alleging that O’Keefe “failed in his duties” to Veritas, thereby “causing it serious and significant damage.”
The suit claims that O’Keefe violated his contract by not keeping confidential that information he knew about Veritas’ business and investigative operations, that he behaved “unprofessionally during team meetings,” and has “targeted female employees with mean-spirited comments about personal situations like pregnancies.”
Veritas claims O’Keefe had “strained” relationships with donors, that employees saw “obscene” messages between O’Keefe and others when they access his phone, and that there was “financial misconduct,” including using his business card for personal expenses.
The complaint alleges that O’Keefe “breached his fiduciary duties” to Project Veritas by forming OMG “while still employed by Plaintiffs,” and by soliciting employees and donors to join OMG.

Read MoreBlue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass has become the latest victim of cancel culture by the Canadian legacy media for daring to publicly display his Christian faith and support boycotts against Bud Light and Target. The unwritten rule in sports is that athletes aren’t allowed to hold opinions on anything unless those opinions are directly in line with the latest progressive pet cause, whether it be kneeling for the anthem or wearing a pride flag jersey. It appears to be a whole other ballgame however when you involve scripture. That’s when the Canadian media get their claws out and go for blood.

Read MoreA group assembled to oversee the search into potential grave sites identified near former residential schools has refused to work with a Hague-based international organization dedicated to assisting governments with identifying missing persons and exhuming mass graves.
The National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools Missing Children and Unmarked Burials said yesterday that it could not trust the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) because it is “non-Indigenous.”
“While the (committee) is appreciative of a number of changes that have since been made to this agreement, we remain deeply concerned that such an important and sensitive process has been entrusted to a non-Indigenous organization with no prior history of working with residential school survivors,” a statement by the committee reads.
First established in 1996 at a G7 summit, the ICMP’s first mission was to investigate missing people in the wake of the Yugoslav Wars. As of 2001, the group has developed a DNA identification system for missing persons as well as a world-recognized specialized missing persons database.
