There is a line from the Simon and Garfunkel song, The Boxer, that sums up the situation “Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”. Over the years, I've talked to people with strange theories and ideas that you cannot convince otherwise. One elderly woman told me that the Indigenous people were trying to take back all the land in Canada. She claimed that there was a lawsuit in court that would kick out all the people in Montreal. She was worried that she would lose her house.

The reality is these conspiracy stories are attractive to a large part of the population and it will never change. Look at how many conspiracy books about the JFK assassination are out there. They add spice to their lives and reinforces their beliefs.
