About the Episode

Marcus Kolga is a disinformation expert and senior fellow at the McDonald Laurier Institute. He does God’s work. Since being attacked and black Listed by the Kremlin, Marcus and his friends at Disinfowatch have been keeping tabs on the FLOOD of disinformation that flows freely into Canada worldwide.

The Kremlin has sanctioned Marcus for his work, so he’s a good guy to talk to about who, why, where, and what disinformation is hurting Canadians and the brains of our dumbest.

We get into:

– What the McDonald Laurier Institue does

– His interest in tracking disinformation

– When did the Russian bots come to town.

– Was it the Egyptian uprising that turned Putin onto the Idea he could sow discord in other countries?

– How does the inception and distribution of disinformation work?

– Who does Russia target with disinformation, and why?

– Elon quietly removed State Propaganda tags from Sputnik, Tass, RT, and others, including the CBC,

– Do people even WANT factual information anymore???

Elon Purged legacy blue checkmarks, and Lochlin wants to know why Dean still has his like it’s some Gotcha moment. Dean explains (poorly) and brings up some valid points about having one now other people don’t. Seems to be a win-win.

The Oilers and Leafs had HUGE bounceback wins to even their respective playoff series. Dean had an epiphany last night and wants to share his theory with Leaf fans because we’re pretty sure he hates Leaf fans more than Habs fans, and he loves the Leafs.
