Trump will say he brought a delegation of business leaders to China. Don’t be fooled he’s bringing a delegation of billionaires, representatives not of the US economy but of our oligarchy, seeking more for them and not caring much at all about the rest of us.

Canadian digital sovereignty is absolutely essential. Remember: if they can do this to a random guy, they can do it to anyone using one of the American platforms. Guess who still posts on Twitter? Most of our elected leaders.
