It is a completely different and more troubling concern that our information is being used to manipulate us and our democracy and we need to examine how we can prevent it from happening in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">-30-<\/p>\n<p>More information: 613-947-4524<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OTTAWA &#8211; Mr. Zimmer: \u201cHave you watched the testimony of Mr. Zack Massingham and Mr. [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,12,6,4,7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
