  • On 22 March 2016, the Facebook page Fail Much News published a video purportedly showing GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump saying that, as president, he would build a wall along the U.S.-Canadian border: This video uses real footage from a CNN/Telemundo GOP debate, deceptive edits, and misleading captions to make it seem as if Donald Trump said that he wanted to build a wall along the Canadian border. For instance, the video shows Trump seemingly saying that the problem with Canada is heroin and drugs, but this portion of the video has been edited: what he actually said was that the problem with Canada is that has a very long border, and the problem with drugs remark was a reference to Mexico, not Canada. Additionally, the Fail Much video edited out the word not when reporter Maria Celeste Arrarás said you have said that you will (not) build a wall in Canada. On 25 February 2016, Telemundo's Maria Celeste Arraras asked the Republican presidential candidate for his thoughts on building a wall along the Canadian border, given that U.S. officials have warned the frontier with Canada, and not Mexico, poses a bigger terrorism threat: While Trump's answer to this question was a bit confusing — he pointed to the northern state of New Hampshire while claiming that heroin was coming in through the United States' southern border and accidentally said that Canada would pay for the wall before clarifying that he meant Mexico — it was clear that he said he has no plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Canadian border: (en)
