— apparently the reason I could not find an updated version of the Toronto Star fact check chart: fact-checker Daniel Dale moved to CNN:
  • Blake, Meredith, Blake, Meredith (October 30, 2020). "Trump makes so many false claims, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale has lost count". The Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on October 30, 2020. — Dale reports that because Trump was talking so much in advance of the November 3, 2020 presidential election, Dale in September 2020 stopped keeping tallies of all Trump's statements, to allow Dale to "just focus on the big stuff".
