As Canada finds its sovereignty threatened by the U.S., Trump plays the villain.
But it is #BigTech that rules the world and poses its own threat to Canadian sovereignty.
And nothing the Mark Carney government has proposed is likely to blunt its efforts.

So as an update from this I did hear back from 4/4 MPs that I contacted. I believe there is concern, but that there needs to be public pressure given *waves at US-Canada tensions*. But I believe that contacting your MP is a good way to do this. Tools to do so in the thread below. ⬇️
There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
