The facebook page Canada Proud often posts news updates, citing mainstream news sources. But the posts sometime add misleading details not found in the original reports, according to a review by The New York Times.

One of its posts this month said Prime Minister Mark Carney had suspended his campaign because of “connections with China” and cited a major Canadian news outlet, Global News, as its source. But the Global News article did not actually mention any connections to China.

Canada Proud describes itself as a “grass-roots group of Canadians” concerned about the country’s direction. The page is owned by Mobilize Media Group, a Toronto public affairs firm.

The company has bought more than $250,000 in ads targeting Canadian voters
