That is why we are pausing our activities” on Twitter, the CBC said.on Monday. He said Poilievre “runs to American billionaires, the tech giants” to “attack a foundational Canadian institution.”Twitter had “corrected the label” for the CBC to read “69% Government-funded” after the broadcaster complained.
