   Youtube has a huge amount of fake videos on Canada-US relations.  I've   
   filtered out at least a dozen channels.   
      
   There was also a number of channels producing AI commentary allegedly by   
   well known figures.  They all spoke the same way, with the same rhythms,   
   and made similar points over and over and over.  They seem to have been   
   taken down.
