You’ve tried using Kijiji’s daily alerts.�The issue with them… is that they come daily. As in once a day, when everyone else gets them, meaning you have no more advantage than anyone else. The worst part is… sometimes they don’t even get sent at all.

The solution
If�you have an Android device, you can download “Canadian Classifieds Alerter” from the google play store.

Or you can download the�iPhone/iOS version on the Apple Store

What does it do?
Canadian Classifieds Alerter checks Kijiji for you! Let’s say you are looking for an iPhone and you’re on a�budget of $200. Simply set an alert to check for “iPhone” and a price limit of $200 and you will be notified the next time someone posts it on Kijiji… before anyone else!

The real 'fake news': how to spot misinformation and disinformation online | CBC News

The real 'fake news': how to spot misinformation and disinformation online | CBC News: So you think a story, photo or video you've seen online might be fake�— or exaggerated, at least. Maybe you spotted a photo that's generating outrage or ridicule, or a headline that seems too bizarre to be accurate.

But you're not sure.

How do you know if what you're seeing is real? How can you find out where it's coming from?

This guide will give you some tips on how to evaluate what you're reading and seeing, so you'll be better equipped to decide whether to trust it.

First off, we're going to avoid using the term "fake news." The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament in the United Kingdom recommended against using "fake news" in favour of more specific terms:

"The term 'fake news' is bandied around with no clear idea of what it means, or agreed definition. The term has taken on a variety of meanings, including a description of any statement that is not liked or agreed with by the reader. We recommend that the Government rejects the term 'fake news,' and instead puts forward an agreed definition of the words 'misinformation' and 'disinformation.'"
