Brookfield is an investor in X? Wow.
Yeah, we can't do outright actions against Big Tech at the moment as Trump protects their interest. We'd get slapped with heavier sanctions that would exacerbate unemployment. We have to insulate our economy from the US a bit in order to be able to assert dovereignty over the digital domain. If unilateral US action doesn't hurt as much, we can ban or regulate [parts of) Big Tech in Canada.
Carney is a fascist traitor fuck, he still hasn't even begun to move any investments away from the US. Brookfield is literally Canada's BlackRock, he still regularly meets with their board members. Check my post history where I've been trying to make people aware but instead getting censored and downvoted. This Crime Minister is an important part of Donald's neoliberal authoritarian cabal.
Strictly speaking - true, but in practice it's more useful to see them as a multinational corpo. They will shift capital and operations across borders to maximize profits. I'm not insinuating there's no way to stop capital from crossing borders. I'm just working in the current neolib state of affairs where we're refusing to do that.
