  RE: https://mas.to/@mgeist/117003562914619560 Remember, day one of Mark "Elbowless" Carney Government he cancelled the DST (Digital Service Tax). Now he has cancelled the funding of Canadian broadcasting monopoly profit by US cartel, but put the taxpayers on the hook instead. 600M$ And I was called extremist by the genocidal fuck from Mont-Royal because I opposed the online-streaming bill... #cdnpoli
