Canada\u2019s Communications Security Establishment expects multiple hacktivist groups will \u201cvery likely\u201d try to influence the 2019 federal election. Bot-led political campaigns that spread misinformation have flourished despite attempts at controlling them. The top fake news outlets on Twitter that were active during the 2016 U.S. election still operate today and deep-fake technology \u2013 the swapping of faces and voices in video \u2013 is now easier to make and harder to detect. The panel will discuss if Canada is prepared with deterrence strategies and contingency plans in order to protect our elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel is organized with the support of MPs Anita Vandenbeld (Ottawa West-Nepean), chair of the Democracy Caucus; Stephanie Kusie (Calgary Midnapore), shadow minister for Democratic Institutions; and Nathan Cullen (Skeena-Bulkley Valley), NDP critic for Democratic Reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
