On Meta banning Canadian news from its social media because the government wants Canadian news sources see some profit from all the sharing online. Meta refused. They have already struck a deal with Australian media. Now Poilievre says:
"SNIP........
It gets more and more surreal.
A government law is making news disappear from the internet.
When Trudeau said he admired Chinas basic dictatorship, he meant it.
I will give people back control of their speech & lives in the freest nation on earth.
........SNIP"
Applegrove: Hey Poilievre a healthy free press is the bedrock of free speech and freedom. Why don't you want a healthy free press in Canada? I bet he has been waiting to use that Trudeau China faux pas for ages.

(1,937 posts)Trump wannabe of the north doesn't like it when a healthy free press exposes his lies and holds him accountable.
And every time he or his ilk whine about things like this...it's NEVER about "giving people back control of their speech & lives", it's just about accountability on their part. Because it's harder to con the rubes when lies are exposed on a national level.

(3,321 posts)They want to kill everything that serves the Canadian people, like the CBC and health care. Anything that won't affect the wealthy elite if it's gone, or actively gets in the way of furthering the wealthy elite's hegemony. All to accumulate more wealth they can hoard like a dragon laying atop their piles of gold at the expense of the average citizen.
