*Featuring informal roundtable sessions where participants actively discuss (and even contribute to) the research
*Attended by grad students, professors and practitioners for real bridge-building between the academy and the profession
*Limited attendance to facilitate interaction — during research sessions as well as the social events

This report investigates how disinformation — defined as deliberately misleading or biased information — is spread in Canada and includes some comparisons to the U.S. It also explores the perceived breadth of reach and impact of disinformation on trust in society. The survey is based on the annual Institute for Public Relations (IPR) Disinformation in Society report conducted in the U.S. Based on the IPR study and this study, disinformation is increasingly a major problem in both countries. Therefore, understanding the power, perception, and factors that influence of disinformation in Canada is important.
