Unlearning Economics is this you?

It's got no legal standing, but as many things in life, when you want to advocate for something and you want to say that something is important to people, the arguments are a lot easier to make when you have "evidence." A bunch of signatures can serve this purpose. Could be something they could use in a legal argument. This petition could even be just a first step, to be followed by others methods or actions.

Another function it could serve is getting people engaged and aware of the issue, spreading further awareness.

Another function is getting the contact information of people willing to do something about this issue. They could later leverage that to ask for other actions that are more meaningful.

That's not necessarily the point. Organizing political action has many components and if the IA want these signatures, perhaps they need them. This is not necessarily the same as a random person making a random petition on change.org.

I'm joking. I thought you're joking when you said it's gov't propaganda so I continued in the same vein. :D

I'm an absolute supporter or "a friend of CBC" and I'm doing everything I can to stop Poilievre from killing it. We desperately need a Canadian gov't funded news media in the current media climate.

Yeah but the orange thumb isn't known for rationality so joke aside, I wouldn't put it past him to escalate.

Tariffs incoming in 3, 2...

The briefings suggest that the US is willing to consider a trade deal with the EU on these terms – but it would also want the EU to limit or discontinue non-tariff barriers to trade, potentially including stringent EU product standards, including some food standards.

At present neither US beef nor chicken can gain entry to the EU market because of strict EU rules – something which has repeatedly been complained of by the Trump administration.

Let's see, on one hand there's chlorine chicken .. on the other cheap solar, wind and maybe EVs (perhaps made in the EU) .. 🤔

Economic pressure time. You know, the same time a lot of the world outside of Europe and North America has lived in since the end of WWII.
