Hmmm. What is “ctvnews.ca”? I do not have any prior reason to trust this news source but would welcome some kind of attestation to its legitimacy.

It’s fine to not know, but why not google and check? It’s surely quicker than asking

I see people here in the US take The Beaverton seriously. I see people in Canada take The Onion seriously. It's hard to evaluate things like this from the outside.
