The money goes to US corporations, the only saving grace it has was stopping trade talks but that wasn’t the intent.

The government literally owns their own connunciation platforms. They can dissiminate the information they want for free.

Why give money to a US corporation?

TVO I mean... Yes? I'm guessing it played on there but almost no one watches it. Are you talking about CBC?

The state literally can just put any message anywhere in any city. It's the State. They can nationalize any company and use their physical and digital infrastructure to send information to their citizens.

Right, do you think that will work for a Canadian province to get the message out to an American audience on American owned TV stations?

Why would the CA gov be paying ads to US companies to influence US citizens? That's fucked.
