FELDSTED -- If they imagine for one second that we believe that they are protecting us from influence, by the big bad social media giants, they are mistaken

Canadian MPs are
warning that Facebook's top officials
could be found in contempt of Parliament if they continue to
ignore a subpoena to testify in Ottawa ... company representatives
confirmed ... founder Mark Zuckerberg and chief operating officer Sheryl
Sandberg would not attend.
"I don't think
it would send a good message internationally about, you know, blowing off an
entire country of 36 million people," said Conservative MP Bob Zimmer, the
chair of the Commons committee.
NDP MP Charlie
Angus; “"You have a company that acts with complete disregard for the
democratic systems that we've put in place … that's just unbelievable that a
company could be that dismissive ...”
The
irony is delicious!
Members of Parliament, many of which Canadians hold in contempt, want to hold someone else in contempt. These are the same MPs who recently blocked investigations of the SNC-Lavalin and Mark Norman affairs.

They
are guardians of government deceit and dishonesty.
If
they imagine for one second that we believe that they are protecting us from
influence, by the big bad social media giants, they are mistaken (again).
The
difference is that social media moguls are not ‘in the loop’ with the six Canadian media moguls (and the CBC) who
own most of our media outlets have ‘an arrangement’ with the government.
The
Ottawa sewers are flooding the nation ... and not from snow melt or
rainfall.
