It is an election year and only we can stop the right

During the 2016 US election there was a high degree of Russian trolls reported by America that were having a profound affect on voters but don't fool yourself .... they are here too.

In 2015 the blog saw an increase in trolls from Russia and the Ukraine then during the US election the blog saw upwards of 1000 hits per week from Russian trolls. With this years election in Canada I am seeing an ever increasing number of his from right wing countries. Below is the weeks hits.... While not quite the numbers the blog had in 2015/2016 it is still early in the election.

The numbers are telling as are the stories they are reading. We can expect them and their bots to counter many of the media stories and target the left on social media.
