Did Reddit year-end recaps expose Russian interference in Alberta?::Online anti-LGBTQ+ harassment and engaging with small communities are documented foreign interference tactics, but they have so far not been observed in Canada.

      That’s what I’m guessing.

      But if there are a bunch of Americans coming to Albertan subs and astroturfing political opinions, I’m not sure that’s actually better than Russia.

      I don’t give a shit if it’s an American or Russian who wants to warp our discourse, our political conversations are still getting bent out of shape.

        Oh absolutely. In no way is it any better, it just adds to it.

        It would be good to know what percentage of users/posts were from country #2 and Russia as well.
