Kudos on admitting it, and on at least providing a summary.

There are also issues in the summary. The national broadcasting corporation is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, not NBC. And the national leader is not a Premier, it's a Prime Minister. A provincial leader is referred to as Premier.

Those two significant errors lead me to doubt the quality of any of the information.

How about also, "Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills," when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?

Teaching people early how to parse the truth and spot manipulative information would go a long way to lessening the problem, but it would also make it harder for politicians and corporations to manipulate people. So there's definitely negative motivation to doing anything that would make easy for people to spot spin on their own. (Edited typos)
