@miki_lou Any hedge funds or any billionaires, if you wanna keep your democracy.
Ask me how I know.
@miki_lou They were until #ChairmanHarper sold our Canada media to an American billionaire
@miki_lou American hedge funds should be banned, full stop.
@miki_lou I've always wanted to know where all the money for these hedge funds and private equity firms has appeared from. Russia perhaps via the Cayman islands.
Timely reminder to Canadian voters: that this is allowed is a thing done by Steven Harper, with his protege and heir Poilievre right by his side.
@DavidM_yeg @miki_lou They knew what they were doing.
@zazzoo @DavidM_yeg They come for the free press; they come for the courts; and they come for you and me.
@miki_lou @DavidM_yeg Well that and they end up with a friendly US corporate media campaigning on their behalf. Part of my ongoing rant about the CPC having too much oil money and finding ways to skirt campaign finance limits.
@miki_lou @mediocratese see also, Australia.
