Russian Disinformation Campaign Targets New Canadian Liberal Leader
A Sputnik article attacks newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, portraying him as unqualified and undermining his legitimacy. The article falsely criticizes his handling of the 2008 financial crisis, misrepresents his support for Ukraine (including his use of “Slava Ukraini”), and suggests his political career is opportunistic. This disinformation campaign, typical of Kremlin tactics, aims to erode Canadian support for Ukraine and sow distrust in Western leadership. The article’s goal is to weaken Carney’s position and damage Canada’s pro-Ukraine stance.
