    It makes me sad that some people’s critical thinking skills are this poor.

    Most average Torontonian

  3. I don’t know what’s scarier. That someone can make a deepfake so good that it looks legitimate or that anyone would believe anything said by Trudeau.

    I mean if I saw something with JTs endorsement I’d have to assume it’s corrupt, fraudulent, and most likely going to not work.

    What’s the expression?

    Ah yes…

    “A fool and his money are soon parted”

    It’s hard to know which one is worse: Someone actually falling for this type of scam or someone associating Trudeau with “quality and authenticity”

    I mean, it is analogous with the carbon tax. You think you’re getting something, and then before you realize, your asshole is fucked.

    In other somewhat related news, did you hear about the asshole rule? Apparently it’s where everyone suffers because of one asshole.

    Nothing compared to what Canada has lost in the scam that is Trudeau!!

    It had Justin Trudeau endorsing it, so I thought, ‘Well this has to be good,’”.

    Come on, CTV. You’re running a story based on the consequences of someone who thinks like that?

    Fuck me.

    “Now, I’m ripped off of all my chances of ever making a life. That was all the money I had,” said Henry.  He’s not very bright. 

    Even if the video was real, “investing” all his money in crypto was not a smart move. It would have been a gamble and losing all your money is a possible outcome of gambling.

    I don’t think it actually involved Justin Trudeau, misleading headline

    This is that same YouTube ad that has “Elon” pushing some coin too. This guy is an idiot, but how is that legal? YouTube shouldn’t be letting just anyone advertise, especially if they’re using deepfakes to scam people. They should be holding their advertisers to a reasonable standard.

    As soon as Trudeau was mentioned he shoulda known his pockets were about to be lighter

  14. I wonder how these things can happen but then I remember televangelists selling “holy healing water” and others “healing crystals” and I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often. They wouldn’t be selling it if people weren’t buying it.

    Shouldn’t be “ well this has to be a lie?” lol

    Well thank God it was just a deep fake and not the real thing or he would’ve lost alot more

  17. I’m trying to imagine Justin Trudeau in a video and him telling me to “trust him” lol.

  18. “It had JT endorsing it so I thought it had to be good” – what the fuck else has Turdeau done that could be classed as good?..

  19. Wonder what the YouTube page is called.
    He thought having Justin in a video made it “official” even though it wouldn’t have been hosted on any official government page.
