#Canada ’s top #pharmaceutical #LobbyGroup paid #StatisticsCanada to produce a series of #CustomizedReports that painted a flattering picture of their contribution to the country’s economy, documents reveal. 
#InnovativeMedicinesCanada (IMC), which represents dozens of pharmaceutical companies, then used those reports as part of its #lobbying & #PublicRelations #campaigns without #disclosing that it paid for the analysis.

Yes. ActivityPub is a great standard.

But #Fediverse doesn't need a #lobbyGroup. Our #community collectively speaks volumes. By the time we are done Failbook and #Birdsite users will need to #lobby us for inclusion in the Fediverse.
