Blayne Haggart @bhaggart.bsky.social · 08/10/20262 GAC cites ”changes to the framing of several panel discussions” for the sponsorship withdrawal. As the CBC indicates, there is no evidence of these changes and GAC didn’t give any examples. Is GAC lying to Canadians? 1376
Blayne Haggart @bhaggart.bsky.social · 08/10/20263 All signs point to Canada withdrawing from the conference due to US pressure. Even in normal times, the US complains about a lot of stuff.

Blayne Haggart @bhaggart.bsky.social · 08/10/20264 What does the Carney government‘s inability to withstand pressure over a few panels at a conference tell us about its willingness to actually regulate US tech companies, or to pursue “digital sovereignty”? Does Mark Carney’s digital sovereignty include predatory and monopolistic US corporations? 37229
