In case anyone else in #Canada feels confused by the government's messaging on election integrity, remember: digital disinformation is not the only threat to democracy. As a global leader in unregulated #onlinevoting, I'm not sure it's even our top threat.
2.7 million voters were eligible to cast ballots online in the 2018 Ontario municipal elections. We estimate as many as one million did. That's four times higher than Estonia's 2019 parliamentary election. All of it delivered in the absence of any federal or provincial standards.
So if you're out there fighting disinformation and polarization, bless your heart. 🙏 But if you find yourself talking about "Canada's elections," maybe draw a line between Canada™ and the many other elections happening in the great white north.
