A Kremlin-linked social media disinformation operation that sought to interfere with the 2016 U.S. election has continued its work to divide and discredit Western democracies, a new report finds -- but its effectiveness has been limited by its own cautious tactics.

" by researchers, the network was part of Russia's bid to use social media to polarize Americans ahead of the 2016 elections. It's been linked to similar efforts in Ukraine, France, Britain and elsewhere. Since 2014 it has posted thousands of times on more than 300 internet platforms.

"They were putting a lot of emphasis on staying hidden, rather than quick virality," said Ben Nimmo, Graphika's director of investigations and one of the report's lead authors. Ukraine was the network's top target, with many posts portraying the country as corrupt. Other posts attacked the U.S. as belligerent, or Europe as weak. Some posts sought to debunk allegations of doping by Russian athletes.

Report says Montreal needs to recognize ‘systemic racism’ and take action against itA report published today says the City of Montreal has neglected the fight against racism and failed to recognize the systemic nature of discrimination. Well...this is Trudeau's home province - he did state it was better than other provinces right? He did go blackface 3x. Maybe it's not a Canada problem....it's a liberal problem. The rest of Canada....carry on, you are doing fine!! The concept 'systemic racism', is an entirely fabricated theory imagined by leftist scholars. It has zero credibility, or at least it should as there is no empirical data to prove systemic racism exists in Canada. globalnews Racism is extremely difficult to prove. It is the type of general discussion that will go around and around in circles with no end.
