Elon Musk's attempts to influence Canadian politics, following the U.S. presidential election, are raising concerns about American exceptionalism and its impact on Canadian sovereignty. Musk's actions, including endorsements of politicians and public commentary on Canadian affairs, have fueled discussions about the power dynamics between the two countries.
Elon Musk ’s attempts to intervene in Canadian and European politics are part of an “American exceptionalism” narrative that many in the tech billionaire’s adopted country have vocally advocated for in the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency, according to one expert on Canada -U.S. relations.
'In response to the rise of online misinformation and disinformation, the government launched the Digital Citizen Initiative to bolster citizens’ resilience and promote a healthy information environment. The initiative funds the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, managed by the Media Ecosystem Observatory at McGill and the University of Toronto, to unite civil society in combating misinformation and improving information integrity,' the spokesperson said.
