Handbook For Detecting and Preventing Foreign Interference in Canada’s Election

2025-04-07 DisinfoWatch

DisinfoWatch has partnered with Canada’s Digital Public Square to produce a new guide designed to help Canadians protect themselves—and our democracy—from foreign interference during elections and in the periods between them. The guide is titled “Democracy and You: A Handbook for Detecting and Preventing Foreign Interference in Canadian Elections.”

Safeguarding the integrity of our elections is vital to maintaining a healthy and functioning democracy. It is crucial for voters, activists, journalists, candidates, and political parties to recognize interference tactics and take action to counter them.

This handbook offers an overview of:

• key foreign interference strategies
• real-life case studies
• practical tools for identifying, reporting, and defending against these threats.

Let me know if you want to tailor it to a specific audience (e.g., media, educators, community leaders).
