Abstract

Fake news, an all-too-common and, to me, rather frightening catchphrase these days, has been used repeatedly by the U.S. President and embraced ad nauseum by his entourage in recent months. Sadly, it has also worked its way into the lexicon far beyond the White House. For proof, one need only look at the comments on any online CBC news article involving the political goings-on south of the border.
