Canada in Spain and Andorra

We wish a warm welcome to Jeffrey Marder, Canada's new Ambassador-designate to Spain and Andorra. He has presented copy of his credentials to the MAEUEC, and starts his mandate looking forward to meeting the great community that builds 🇨🇦's relations with 🇪🇸 and 🇦🇩.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve shown how AI-generated visuals can mislead. Meet the cast: a unicorn, a nurse, a reporter and a girl. All AI-generated. All created in seconds. Before reacting, pause, check the source and #ThinkBeforeYouShare

AI-generated photos and videos often trigger shock, fear, or outrage, pushing you to react immediately. If what you see online makes you feel an intense emotion, pause, check the source and #ThinkBeforeYouShare

When news breaks, AI-generated photos and videos can appear almost instantly. In the rush to know what’s happening, don’t settle for the fastest visual. Slow down, check the source and #ThinkBeforeYouShare

AI can now mimic a person's face and voice with startling accuracy. Deepfakes can make anyone appear to do or say anything. A familiar face or voice no longer guarantees authenticity. Be cautious. Check the source. #ThinkBeforeYouShare

Today, pictures and videos created or changed by AI can look just like real ones. You can’t always tell if a photo or video is fake just by looking for clues. Check the source. Every time. #ThinkBeforeYouShare

Four years of separated families. Russia started this war. Russia must end it. #StandWithUkraine

Canada is deeply saddened by the tragic train accident in Spain. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wish a full and speedy recovery to all those injured.

There is #NoExcuse for online abuse. Yet some state actors manipulate information and spread #disinformation to discourage women from participating in public life or exercising their right to free speech. #DontBeDeceived

Extreme ideas can be made to seem mainstream. Some foreign regimes amplify fringe views with memes, emotional posts and carefully timed campaigns. Learn their tactics and #ThinkBeforeYouShare

Yesterday, our Defence Attaché took part in a Remembrance Day ceremony at the British Cemetery in Madrid. A time to honour those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who gave everything for the freedoms we cherish. Lest we forget.

It’s #MediaLiteracyWeek! It can feel like nothing online is believable, but you can tell what’s real: • Is the source credible? • Is it current or outdated? • Do reputable outlets say the same? #ThinkBeforeYouShare #GlobalMILWeek
