Elon Musk routinely inserts himself into Canadian politics. Despite this, Canada’s political class continues to use Twitter — legitimizing him and his far-right talking points. Canadian politicians need to make a choice: either they support Elon Musk, or their constituents. It can’t be both.

Why are Canadian politicians still using Twitter?

Part of the same equation - until recently physical games were there to keep physical stores onboard, so they would continue to stock and sell consoles. With games retail flat-lining, there's no need to keep physical stores happy (and online stores are already part of the digital games ecosystem)

Exactly right! Another example of widespread job killing & shutting down retail, now most Big Box stores no longer stock 'demos'. For example, a headset is just a closed box on the shelf - you can't try one on to find the right fit or sound so you may as well just order it online, or go without.

Revisiting this tweet from 2023, when I worked at the Ontario Legislature, which is beyond relevant today.
A tweet from @DianaCMcNally which read,s "You can smell smoke inside Queen's Park. Doug Ford won't recognize this as a symptom of climate change and is forging ahead with fossil fuels, which will ultimately cause more fires. He's cut funding to fight forest fires, for climate-ready infrastructure. Ontario is burning."
