I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials.
They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts.
Fuck Carney.

Ironically though, even though people might say it's a failure, I wish QC had similar policy because compares to ON it is a complete and utter mess. The in accessibility of this province is stark in comparison.

Still think it's wild her and Carney thought it would be OK for her to be a sitting MP and advisor to Ukraine at the same time.
This story went from her not resigning, her resigning in 2 weeks, her resigning this week.
There shouldn't have been any overlap at all.
