28/04/2023 | 11:47:23 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to thank the rapporteur for her report, which highlights important trends in information sharing. In my remarks I would like to address social media bias. With the increased adoption of media platforms as such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok, the consumption of news has shifted from the more legacy-media space to digital spaces. A recent report from a Statistics Canada survey found that in our country the most common method for following news... 27/04/2023 | 20:04:05 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The economist Dani Rodrik has argued that globalization – a critical component of which is trade liberalization – only allows the nation-state to choose one of two other policy goals: national sovereignty or democratic accountability.

Russia’s actions in Ukraine have been directly impacting innocent civilians daily for over six months. And while Russia’s war has further compromised them, global supply chains were already struggling after more than two years of the... 13/10/2022 | 12:00:54 Thank you Chair, The Canadian delegation appreciates the opportunity to participate in these meetings, as it allows us to keep up to date on events in Europe and exchange information regarding, among other things, the war in Ukraine. It is now clear that, when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, it was setting out to destroy the nationhood and the statehood of an independent country in Europe. It did so in complete violation of international law. Canadians, like people the world over...
