Anyone curious about the #HouseHippo and what it has to do with misinformation, here's the delightful TV spot produced in Canada.

Pivot is clever, but disingenuous in the framing/history:
"Passing a 'bring it home tax cut' on work, investment, home building, and energy make this the best place in the world to bring back the half $ trillion dollars that Liberals pushed out of the country over the last decade."
Because of NAFTA negotiations with Harper's focus to include fossil fuels which integrated the 2 countries
Ooops... Singh got arrested again. Reported and blocked.
I'm sending this in an email to Elections Canada. It may not be illegal, but it's obviously fake information from outside Canada that's intended to interfere with our election. That fact that there are ZERO fake news videos of #PeePee being arrested is telling.
The "house hippo" is back!
(Those of us who grew-up with this guy the first time, know all about disinformation and media awareness)
Just blocked and reported an ad on YouTube that showed Mark Carney being arrested. Didn't watch it as it was obviously fake. Advertiser was listed as being from The Netherlands. Last month it was fake videos of Singh being arrested.
Je suis déjà tombé sur de la désinformation au sujet de notre élection.
Un ami m’a transmis un post Instagram où il était dit que le Premier ministre refusait de débattre en français, coupé au titre.
C’est le débat à TVA où les participants devaient payer 75 000 $ et le Parti vert n’a même pas été invité où il ne participera pas.
Il va débattre en français au débat officiel.

I have already run into disinformation about our election.
A friend forwarded me an Instagram post where it said that the Prime Minister refused to debate in French, cut at the headline.
It’s the about TVA debate where participants were required to pay $75,000 and the Green Party was not even invited.
He will be debating in French in the official debate.

I like @jhv 's idea of tagging obvious #CanadaElection2025 misinformation with #househippo.

For the non-Canadian's: House Hippo was a literal disinformation education video by a Canadian parents group: https://youtu.be/TijcoS8qHIE?si=g5owHuJamKeDIup2
What makes it good is that it riffs hard on the Hinterland Who's Who interstitials we all grew up with: https://youtu.be/LwWHk8azaAc?si=tKviAZmoSxz28ZgO
For my *non-Canadian* peeps: there's going to be a Canadian general election on 28 April 2025. It's a very important election. They're fighting PoiLIEvre & other unpleasant Cons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Canadian_federal_election
I hope it goes without saying that the political makeup of the Canadian Parliament & it's Prime Minister is *extremely* important.
For my Canadian peeps, I'm told you'll understand my graphic. :-D

I have a lot of trouble seeing well enough to make out what 99.9999999% of emojis are supposed to be, which is why anyone who reads my posts/responses will likely be vaguely aware that I tend to use a VERY limited range of them.
But I am pleased to discover that a #hippo does indeed exist!

Is it just me, or do these smooth peegs unreasonably resemble the house hippo?
