I'm still waiting for mandatory sponsor jackets in the House and Senate.

Trudeau, who spoke ahead of Poilievre, began his remarks by thanking those gathered and specifically naming members of his caucus.

"Thank you to the parliamentarians from all parties who are putting partisanship aside to be here today," Trudeau said.

LOL, I guess that non-partisanship lasted at least a few minutes until tiny angry PP had to yell at the clouds again.

Sitting on the sidelines while the world burns around you and complaining about it is highly effective. Withholding a protest vote (for either side) and supporting voter apathy is lame as hell.

At least when the capitalists are fucking you, regardless of who wins, you can smugly yell "I didn't consent".

LOL, helping Texans is against everything Abbott stands for.

Evolution is nothing if not reliable?

Yeah, but this $100MM from Google is directly linked to C-18, which links the payments to full-time journalists employed.

So, while I don't love that it'll help a company like Bell's bottom line because it offsets journalist salaries at CTV, and I definitely dislike that the PostMedia and TorStar billionaire owners will undoubtedly just pass through all their journalist subsidies to personal profit, I do like that it will help pay for journalists at the CBC and other editorially or financially independent news sources.

So, not all sunshine in this whole C18 / Google story, but what does all that actually have to do with telcos not building infrastructure?

Always a good time when the media exploits or abuses the public's lack of understanding on how statistics work.
