The world really is run by pedophile Zionists…

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.
I don't see anything in the article about Brookfield being a current investor in Twitter.
The only thing I could find is an article about them shuttering the venture capital arm and the person who made the investment leaving the firm. Is there more up-to-date info about Carney even being a passive investor in Twitter?
They did a complicated fold of it into a new enterprise of which Carney is still a major shareholder
I'm sorry to be that guy but I'm still unable to find anything that shows Brookfield currently holding any part of xAI (owner or Twitter/X).
I did find a mention of the guy who got fired from Brookfield for wanting to invest in X suing Brookfield for backing out of a $100 million investment. Also, an article from NYT says as part of the lawsuit:
Mr. Raffaelli said, he had been forced to sharply reduce — from $25 million to $5 million — the amount that one of his funds planned to invest in Mr. Musk’s xAI.
Even if Brookfield currently hold $5 million worth of X, how would that affect policy by Carney who is no longer part of any decision making process at Brookfield. It would be a major controversy if there was evidence he was somehow still involved.
