In principle, the CRTC pays costs for groups that make public-interest cases in its hearings, so that business and industry isn't the only perspective it hears.
In practice, the CRTC can take so long to make those payments that the advocacy groups are dying out. thelogic.co/news/crtc-ad...

Sure, yes, adults shouldn’t go out in public in their jammies, as a general rule.
And yet maybe people in air travel could ask themselves: “Why are so many of our paying customers so furious?”
“Their clothes are too comfortable” might not be a complete answer.

Not that we *want* Canadian connections, but that’s Carleton U graduate Lawrence Krauss.
By my count there's 65 documents with emails between Krauss and Epstein.
In many of them Krauss seems to ask Epstein for advice about the allegations of sexual misconduct leveled toward him.

Short 🧵: Interesting to see Lawrence Krauss cropping up in today's Epstein documents. No date or context for this, but our reporting at BuzzFeed News identified Epstein as a significant source of funding for Krauss. (From prior reporting, "agreed in principle" may doing a lot of work here.)

It's almost lost now, but the term "fake news" started out meaning bogus sites thrown together by people who didn't necessarily care about the Trump/Clinton election but made web advertising money off fictional stories about the candidates.
The person behind this account does not seem to actually have any sort of vested interest in the US or in immigration. But they are nonetheless spamming horrific videos because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for that type of content, and because Facebook directly makes payments for it.
