Thank God our government will always put in effort to stop the poor from potentially affecting the oligarchs bottom line.
It’s totally fine that antitrust is long dead though. The rogers merger is fine, and $70 insufficient funds charge is totally ethical and fine, etc.
It’s totally fine that the priority is so blatantly skewed towards the people who already own everything and want to ensure everyone else has no choice but to exist in their proprietary rent seeking environments, etc.
American companies and politicians are pushing Alberta separatist propaganda, but lucky our government is focused on making American companies especially comfortable like always.
Even just looking at internet policy, it’s clear the Canadian government isn’t working for the benefit of ordinary Canadians. They have Bill C-22, which potentially undermines privacy by compromising encryption, enhances surveillance through mandatory metadata retention, and could make it hard for anyone but large corporations to legally run online services in Canada. They have Bill C-34, which introduces a new commission with the power to censor and control what Canadians can access on the internet, and requires Canadians to hand over government-issued ID to access websites and online services, potentially to third parties run from the USA. And the Canadian government continues to increase intelligence sharing with the USA despite the USA clearly being hostile and a threat to Canada. Whoever they’re governing for, it’s not us.
