No, the Liberals are not trying to ‘tip the scales’ in ridings with recounts

Nothing is more important than the truth.

Events south of the border, where a post-truth presidency destabilizes the global economy, threatens allies, and empowers authoritarian forces across the globe, should be a warning to all of us of the cost of abandoning truth for short-term gain.

Among the most pernicious aspects of the post-truth shift in the U.S. is the spread of election denialism. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, yet few in the Republican Party are willing to acknowledge this, out of fear and a misguided sense of loyalty.

Once a political party convinces you to swallow one lie, you'll swallow another, and another, and another. Somewhere along the way, you lose your connection to the truth altogether. At that point, you can be convinced to do almost anything.
