barking out bullsh*t again.

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 “China’s 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.
