Conservative MP pushes boundaries with fake news video

New Democrats say they are planning to ask the House of Commons Ethics Committee to include a video by a Conservative MP as part of an ongoing study into the impact of disinformation on Canadian politics. Manitoba MP Brandon Leslie distributed a video on his social media accounts titled, “Breaking News: Trudeau resigns.” It contains doctored television news clips mixed with real and out-of-context news. As David Akin reports, experts say it pushes the boundaries of political messaging.
