    The ‘Canadian Dimension’ is a propaganda outlet frequently conveying pro-China and anti-Western - including anti-Canada - narratives. This is an unreliable, pro-authoritarian propaganda organization with a strong selection bias in both topics and narratives.

      If you would rather an outlet that only publishes Truth™ (Pravda) with articles explaining how 2+2=5, you have plenty of options to choose from. e.g. Epoch Times, National Post, and the magical imaginary land inside @Scotty@scribe.disroot.org 's crazy imagination.
