In the past week alone, Musk has dipped into Canadian politics on his social media platform several times; endorsing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, showering him with praise, reposting his tweets and applauding his speeches and media interactions.
At the end of the day it was all pandering in the first place.
If it isn't a legal obligation then all these mega companies environmental, social and even fact checking activities was essentially just a line item under the marketing budget.
I like to block Trump glazers and quite few other accounts of that nature.
Actually think the the Lemmy style user lookup where you can quickly see what stupid comments people have posted in the past to be rather useful for sifting out the low quality trash.
In this context he was seemingly India's guy
Then by rhetoric pretty he's been parroting what Russia has been paying people to put out about Canada.
I'm glad that Pierre is dumb enough to start fights with people who don't really care about him.
I really can't understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he's had and Charlie didn't even get a shot.
And then there's this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.
And yet, in the end, the result was not even close. Angus — with 19 per cent of the vote — not only finished more than 30 points behind Singh, he barely beat Niki Ashton (17 per cent) for second place.
I think the biggest difference is that while people probably shouldn't some genuinely like Trump but it seems most people really just tolerate Pierre at best.

The music makes the whole thing more palatable. Should be included for all Conservative videos.
Just want to say Rachel Gilmore one of my favourite modern social media journalist. Certainly worth a follow if you're into that format of Canadian political content.
Thanks for the heads up I'll have to take a look.

Usage
The caucus member ejection provisions were first used when the Conservative caucus voted to eject Derek Sloan on January 20, 2021.[9][10][11]
In February 2022, the leadership removal provisions were invoked for the first time by the Conservative caucus following the 2021 election, which used it to trigger a leadership review against, and remove, Erin O'Toole. During the review, 45 MPs voted to retain him against 73 who voted for his removal.[12] Deputy Leader Candice Bergen was selected as interim leader.[13][14] O'Toole's removal marked the first time since the Reform Act was passed into law seven years prior, that a party caucus formally challenged and dismissed its leader.[15]
