🇨🇦 Fake Mark Carney video cost elderly Ontario woman nearly $1 million

An 86-year-old Ontario woman was wiped out by a fake Mark Carney pitch on Facebook, and the establishment answer is the usual bureaucratic shrug. Nearly $1 million gone, an RRIF cashed out, a condo mortgaged, debt piled on, and Ottawa is still talking about online safety frameworks while the fraud machine scales faster than the people supposedly regulating it, as reported.

This is what happens when a country lets tech platforms, AI hype, and political branding run wild while public trust is already shattered. Carney’s face, Trudeau’s face, Bank of Canada language, crypto fantasy, all plugged into a system built on manipulation and zero accountability. Canadians are told to trust institutions, trust screens, trust experts, then get abandoned when that trust is weaponized against them. The state that can track speech and sermonize about misinformation somehow cannot protect seniors from industrial-scale digital fraud. Very modern, very progressive, very broken.
