Actually, elevating Karina Gould should be the second thing PM Carney does.
The first should be taking affirmative, high profile public steps to protect our information spaces from corporate America, like requiring all government social media accounts to post from the government's brand new Mastodon instance (allowing mirrors to other platforms).
Otherwise, if Zuck, Musk & others can do as they please with our communications, Carney won't be PM for very long.

One of the first things I hope PM Carney does is find a way to elevate Karina Gould. #CdnPoli https://www.thespec.com/politics/federal-elections/who-won-burlington/article_a3828803-204e-5dcb-9ec6-38ea544a2dcc.htmlMastodon

in reply to DJ [REDACTED] 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 • • •The fact that the Conservatives increased their vote share and seats—while offering almost nothing of substance to the vast majority of Canadians thanks to deep pockets & microtargeted influence campaigns—should be alarming to all, and cannot go unchecked between now and the next election.
Just ask any non-millionaire Conservative voter to explain their vote without mentioning Trudeau, and requiring them to specify their new tax rate if they mention tax cuts.
