It’s based on a kernel of truth - Carney said that Canada would side with the remainder of NATO if the US tries to take Greenland by force - which would mean declaring war on the US if article 5 is invoked.
Ah, right I didn’t really think about that. I don’t think it even needs to be said but damn that’s such a propaganda-flavoured twisting of the truth even if it’s technically not a lie.
Right-wing propaganda does this all the time - starting with a bit of truth means someone can google it and get a headline that sort of agrees with what they’re saying, but the content largely disagrees with the narrative they extrapolate from it.
Wow i knew they were propaganda but that’s just an easily disprovable headline

Just tell the same lie often enough and people will start to believe it, no matter how obvious.
It is, but even then there are always the cultists and Black Hundreds eating it all up, eager for a final showdown.
