Poilievre argues Johnston is unable to do that work independently because he used to be a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, which is under scrutiny for accepting a donation reportedly linked to the Chinese government. 

Rachel Curran, head of public policy for Meta Canada, said the company has put together a content-blocking team that is getting ready to end the availability of news on its social media platforms Facebook and Instagram should the Liberal government's online news bill pass.

Canadians chose hope over fear and anger in 2015 and they will be faced with that choice again the next time they go to the polls, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in his opening night keynote speech to Liberal faithful at the party's policy convention in Ottawa.

The prime minister's brother insisted to members of Parliament on Wednesday, May 4, 2023, that the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has not been part of any foreign interference attempts by China, as the organization continues to be dogged by questions about controversial donations.

The Conservative Party of Canada brought in more donations during the first three months of the year than any other federal party.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tweeted a copy of a letter addressed to the company making the request.

Newly released documents show that a federal government department asked Facebook and Twitter to delete a newspaper article that it felt contained errors — but both social-media giants denied the request.

Jagmeet Singh took a victory lap at his New Democrat caucus meeting on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, in a speech that praised his party’s wins in the recent federal budget.

The decision comes a week after the company announced it would block news on its social-media platforms if the Liberal government's Online News Act passes in its current form. 

The New Democrats have used their agreement with the Liberal government as leverage to push for more ways to save Canadians money in the next federal budget, leader Jagmeet Singh says.
