Canadian Digital Media Research Network
A pioneering initiative committed to fortifying and fostering resilience within Canada's unique information ecosystem.
2025 Federal Election
In March 2025, the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, led by the Media Ecosystem Observatory, led a national monitoring effort to track information incidents during the election. While the outcome of the election were not compromised, Canada’s democratic resilience is weakening under pressure from manipulation, polarization, and declining platform transparency and accountability.
Our final election report, “The Canadian Information Ecosystem During the 2025 Federal Election,” reveals an environment increasingly shaped by influencers, AI-generated content and misinformation, and deepening partisan echo chambers.
