Elections Canada watched as social media posts from Canadians began wondering if the last federal election had been rigged by dubious voting machines. Elections Canada officials noted that many Canadian social media users had been claiming that machines created by Dominion Voting Systems, used in the American election, had also been used here. "Most users seem to appreciate (Elections Canada) providing factual information and that information is being used to respond to inaccurate posts." "Elections Canada strives to be the trusted source of information about the federal electoral process," the agency said in a statement. "When we notice incorrect information on social media, our social media team works with the agency's subject matter experts to craft messages to counter that incorrect information."
