Several of the business leaders and tech CEOs behind the Build Canada lobbying effort are interested in a “DOGE” for Canada, and have even created a website that looks kinda like Doge.gov. My story today for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/News/2025/02... - ThreadSky

Some of the Build Canada people say a Canadian DOGE would look more like 90s-era government spending cuts. But quite a few of the people involved are really big fans of Elon Musk. https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/02/28/Tech-CEOs-DOGE-Canada/

Ugh.

Unfortunately Build Canada didn’t reply to my interview requests. But they did edit their about page to remove the list of supporters after I emailed them. You can still find it using the Wayback Machine. https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/02/28/Tech-CEOs-DOGE-Canada/

@ddebow.bsky.social you guys are terrible at this sneaky technofascist stuff.

Amateur hour.

Wondering if you've looked into Neo Financial at all? Not sure if there's anything there, but they were heavily funded by Peter Thiel, and Tobi Lutke is also an investor. A fintech startup trying to disrupt banking in Canada with those backers feels really hokey to me.

Come on.
Russia and China bought a LOT of techies.
Why would ANY software or App be worth billions?

Well, given the scrutiny DOGE has received, they'd best save their money. Once again, journalism has the power to disrupt https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGujltiMER6/?igsh=MTFlYnZzMDQ2Zmc3MQ==

Good article, thanks. As noted in the article, we're all in favour of governments spending our tax dollars wisely. But their support for Musk & DOGE disqualifies them from the conversation. Musk wants to eliminate government services, not deliver them more efficiently.

These motherfuckers could start by paying their taxes. That would help out. They’re as fucking idiots as O’Leary.

Brillant article. Thanks for covering this while no one is. It made me reconsider some investments tbh.

Thanks so much for reading!
