Canada Now Teaching Children How To Run Interference for China

By Jared Harris

A media company owned by the government of Canada is teaching children how to combat misinformation about COVID-19 using the outlet’s own reporting, while seemingly ignoring mounting evidence that the novel coronavirus leaked from a Wuhan-area biolab.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s guide is presented in a way to help children combat fake news from their older family members.

In the example used by the CBC, a dad texts a link to an internet article claiming that COVID-19 was manufactured in a Chinese lab. The CBC suggests sending family members to a “legitimate” site, which in this case happens to be the CBC itself.

The problem is that even the CBC’s “reputable” reporting dismissed the novel coronavirus’ possible laboratory origins by linking that theory to the notion of an engineered bioweapon.

This glaring oversight helps with China’s efforts to distance itself from the virus and its suspected origins at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, something the CBC is now coaching people to do.

Watch the full clip below:

While the article touted by the guide does get its facts right in debunking claims of an engineered virus, the piece dismisses the entire possibility that the virus could have accidentally escaped from a lab — a possibility that isn’t dependent on the pathogen being created by humans.
