We are in the middle of a knowledge production crisis!

Science, opinion, & “goodness” are weaponized for profit, politics, & personal gain.

In my new book, I lift the curtain on the forces contributing to this chaos & look for a path forward.

📣 Dear Alberta Separatists,

You are being manipulated. 👇

Russian, U.S. interests are targeting Alberta’s separatist debate, Canadian research shows theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

"...Russian content farms have been pushing pro-separatist content..."

www.theglobeandmail.com Russian, U.S. actors are targeting Albertans with pro-separatist content, research shows MAGA influencers are promoting the narrative that the province has no choice but to leave

📣 Hey Separatists,

Enough with the conspiracy-theory-fuelled rage‼️

Separatists are NOT channelling the authentic voice of the province. They are projecting a vision of Alberta that reflects their own anxieties & ideological bile.

thewalrus.ca Alberta’s Separatists Are Chasing a Total Cowboy Fantasy | The Walrus The province they describe—rural, homogeneous, under siege—bears little resemblance to reality

‼️ ZERO evidence to support this move! ‼️

Eg, likely to:
> costs to healthcare system
> overdiagnosis, anxiety, iatrogenic injury
> confusion & inequities
> wait times for public
