@carl.graham02: ‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: YOUR $1.6 billion was given to a company DIRECTLY tied to TWO Carney appointees. These appointees DO NOT face the same conflict of interest standards as MPs or Ministers. Patrick Pichette: the guy that proposed a $500K departure tax for educated Canadians. He used to be on COHERE'S BOARD! He was a PARTNER at Inovia. The same company that co-lead a $500 MILLION investment INTO COHERE. Carney appointed him CEO of Digital Transformation Canada. In October 2025, WHILE ON THE LIBERALS AI TASK FORCE, Pichette URGED Canada to make Cohere its "national LLM champion, and fuel it with large-revenue contracts." Dominic Barton: He replaced the CEO of Invest in Canada & is now acting Chair. He's STILL LISTED AS A PARTNER at Radical Ventures, which co-led Cohere's 2025 round (per The Logic).His own Radical co-founder called him "the most connected person on Earth." YES. CONNECTED ENOUGH TO GET $1.6 BILLION OF YOUR MONEY TO COHERE. Do you see it? It's YOUR tax dollars but THEIR firms' portfolio. TWO APPOINTEES. TWO VC FIRMS. With YOUR stake size NOT disclosed. THE OPTICS OF THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED! #liberals #cohere #carney
