Update: we all know that #PierrePoilievre was pushing for defunding the #CBC and asked #ElonMusk specifically for #Twitter to label CBC accounts as 'government-funded' #media:
Elon was in #Toronto, #Ontario just before this happened.
According to the #CPC's website:
"Pierre lives in Ottawa with his wife Anaida and their children Valentina and Cruz."
And where was Pierre Poilievre this weekend?
Apparently in the Toronto area too, according to his numerous tweets about attending various services.
He Tweeted about a service at 4:57pm and then the next tweet was at 7:53pm about CBC News being labelled as government-funded media, along with a link to his petition calling for the CBC to be defunded.
#Elon #Musk "Landed in Toronto, Ontario, CA. Apx. flt. time 2 Hours : 45 Mins." at 5:45pm on April 16, 2023.
What was Pierre Poilievre and Elon Musk doing in the approximately 2 hours between 5:45pm and 7:53pm on April 16, 2023 in Toronto?

O, dear, here we go, again…
#abc #News branded with new label 'Government-funded #Media' on #Twitter
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-17/abc-branded-government-funded-media-by-twitter/102230338
#BBC also received the label but it was later changed to "publicly-funded media"
What does #ElonMusk have against 3 letter acronyms (#NPR, #PBS, etc…)?

People on Twitter are actually confusing "Government-funded Media" with "State-controlled Media" after CBC News gets a new tag.
And CBC News is of course blowing it by feeding into the narrative.
They should be proud that they're a universally-available service for all #Canadians but instead they're out here basically whining and making references to Parliament and budgets and votes and shit. It's not pretty 😂😆

Credibility
Shaken by Twitter's choice
NPR now quits that voice
Pressure too much to bear
Ending with a sigh of despair
