The Hill Times
The recent case of the film Russia ns at War has sparked discussions about Canada’s ongoing struggle against foreign interference alongside a resumption of the public hearings by the Foreign Interference Commission. The movie, directed by a Russia n-Canadian filmmaker previously involved with the Russia n state-sponsored media outlet Russia Today , has drawn sharp criticism for the narratives it conveys.
One of the main approaches taken by Russian propaganda is to undermine the very concept of truth, promoting half-truths of the plausibility of truths, making recipients doubt their values, and promoting the idea that truth is not a matter of fact but rather of belief. In a world rife with manipulation and disinformation, access to accurate, comprehensive, and unbiased information has become a fundamental human right.
