Companies who fail to provide adequate support should have their Canadian operations nationalized and handed over to the CPP.

Seems like a bit of an extreme first step.

We're talking about meta and musk here. I wouldn't even talk to them. Just seize assets and block for espianage. Probably make arrests as well.

I agree, but I think it's necessary. Perhaps rather just the CPP the shares could belong to various different public pension funds.

There is too much risk that a second step won't be possible, or will be made ineffective.

You don't wait until the enemies are at the town center to build walls.

Currently there is no meaningful cost to platforms for the consequences their inaction causes. Facebook's contribution to the Myanmar genocide is well documented and yet the lawsuit against them was dismissed in the US. It would be outright dangerous to assume responsibility or good faith from these large platforms.
