It's kinda insulting that Carney begins by dissing countries that "go along to get along" when that's been his MO re the US since Day 1 (see the unchanged travel advisory; the border-fentanyl debacle; Grok/X & CSAM; the sanctioned Canadian ICC judge; the DST; the Safe Third Country Agreement, etc.)

Is Carney naive enough to think that the billion-dollar buy-in isn't going straight into Trump's bank account? Maybe it'll help fund Jared Kushner's tourism mecca on the shores of Gaza. 🙄 Carney sucks.

I wrote to my MP, Ben Carr, about sex abuse images generated by Grok and also pleaded for the government to move off X. This was his reply.
Thanks so much for being in touch. As a former educator, MP, and uncle to many, I am also deeply concerned with the state of social media platforms as a vehicle for this disgusting and illegal behaviour targeting kids and women in particular. 

I have a call with META coming up to discuss exactly this on their platforms and will certainly continue to relay to Minister Solomon the need for action and accountability re X.

Thanks for reaching out in a thoughtful and respectful way, and with the compassionate lens you're applying to this - I really appreciate it.
