This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.

I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden. pic.twitter.com/BKNQmAG19H

Proroguing Parliament over the summer worked exactly as designed: it killed the momentum of the WE scandal at its apex and teed up Liberals to now claim we have more important things to talk about. Expert level grubby politics https://t.co/mGkCIz7ejv

When you've been in office for five years, you don't get to blame the guy before you if you haven't done anything to change what you claim they did so poorly. https://t.co/HyxMg7Djyg

"In fact, as reported by the Globe and Mail, it was the Trudeau government’s decision last year to kneecap the agency specifically created to give Canadians early warnings about pandemics…."https://t.co/hcqfsAANzo

A #PrimeDay reminder that Jeff Bezos is a "prime" example of a pandemic profiteer

He has increased his worth by an excess of $97 Billion on the backs of workers & Cdns

All while Justin Trudeau has allowed Amazon to pay $0 in taxes

It's time the ultra-rich pay their fair share

A white Cdn premier claiming 'I don't see colour' is absurd. White politicians are obsessed with colour. Be honest and admit it instead of cliche-ridden virtue signalling: Horgan says he misspoke at debate about white privilege, regrets alienating people https://t.co/7VlWMCd8KI

This is the answer I wish I gave on stage. Saying "I don’t see colour" causes pain and makes people feel unseen. I’m sorry. I’ll never fully understand, as a white person, the lived reality of systemic racism. I’m listening, learning, and I’ll keep working every day to do better. pic.twitter.com/Rbr7h0JOyh

Trying to lower my blood pressure after reading this headline. Listened to pan flute music for a minute but it didn't work. Don't want to use expletives. Blood pressure is pretty high right now. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/MFP7hLhFt7
