This timeline includes entries on the spread of COVID-19 misinformation and conspiracy theories related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. This includes investigations into the origin of COVID-19,and the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. Social media apps and platforms,including Facebook,TikTok,Telegram,and YouTube,have contributed to the spread of misinformation. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) reported that conspiracy theories related to COVID-19 began on "day one". CAHN reported on March 16,2020,that far-right groups in Canada were taking advantage of the climate of anxiety and fear surrounding COVID,to recycle variations of conspiracies from the 1990s,that people had shared over shortwave radio. COVID-19 disinformation is intentional and seeks to create uncertainty and confusion. But most of the misinformation is shared online unintentionally by enthusiastic participants who are politically active.
