Climate Change Disinformation in Canada - August 2025
Climate change disinformation is reshaping debate in Canada’s digital environment. Denialist and delayist narratives frame climate action as illegitimate, authoritarian, or economically harmful, often blending with conspiracy theories and identity-based hostility. Foreign information manipulation and interference amplify these narratives, exploiting regional divides and deepening distrust in science and institutions. The result may threaten Canada’s ability to respond effectively to the climate crisis.
Hate Speech and Bigotry in Canada - August 2025

Together, these dynamics normalise discrimination, drive polarisation, and increase the risk of offline harm. The findings underscore the urgent need for resilience strategies that strengthen social cohesion and protect democratic life.
