Forged letter warning about wolves on the loose part of Canadian Forces propaganda campaign that went awry

So let me get this straight, the army is running domestic propaganda campaigns against Environment Canada.  Y'all need to stop taking advice from Trump about how to run a government.

Uh, yeah...! Definitely some serious exercise control issues there.

Training, eh? A for creating a convincing document, F for getting caught...

Given a choice between lying to people to keep them away from live-fire ranges and accidentally shooting people, lying sounds like the preferred option. Lesser of two evils and all that. On the other hand, the lesser of two evils is still evil.

Y'know, I think the word "untook" which I assume was supposed to be "undertook" would have made me suspicious. Not only do I expect government documents to have better grammar and spelling, but that really should have tripped a spelling checker if it was written in a word processor. Now, I might've overlooked a homophone substitution, but I've those things occasionally turn up in professionally edited works.

How did we get this far without somebody saying that the Army was crying wolf?

Not entirely related to the original topic, but the title fits so it seems like the best place to put these two news stories:
