I say yes, but there are obvious caveats. I trust centrist MSM. I do not trust sources that tilt too far in either direction. As for the government, I feel as a Canadian our government is more trustworthy. While Trudeau may be a moron (which I don't think there is a lot of disagreement on that), I think he's been fairly straightforward in his handling of COVID. While that has become politicized (i.e. vaccines and masking), I do trust the health experts for the most part. I do not trust idiots I see on YouTube or Facebook.
