A Canadian perspective on Covid misinformation.

Apologies for the anti-US tone of the article but it's still a worthwhile read IMO on how misinformation affects us all.

Florida and Arizona and then bring that freedumb home with them. They don't even know the difference from our laws to the US. Many are able to see the truth and many are not. I have a brother and sister, that were snowbirds, and are full on antivaxxers and antimaskers. Yet I have close friends who also are snowbirds and they are not, guess it comes down to you can choose your friends not your family. I am just grateful that our wingnuts are only about 8% of our population.
