Totally protecting competition/consumers and not protecting their regulatory buddies, Lol.
The behaviour of some of these regulators is so damn disappointing and transparent. They're just desperate for a win against "big tech" and then if they get that, they'll instantly go back to approving actually consumer/competition damaging acquisitions, in Canada's case, they're doing that at the same time, Lmao.
Pretend like they achieved something and pat themselves on the back.
Canada still let it lapse though so Microsoft can still technically close in Canada whenever they want, I think they're just cowardly hoping that FTC succeeds so they don't have to do anything. Interesting question would be what Australia and New Zealand do if FTC fails, will they block to add extra pressure for CMA to finish the job or will they wait because they're both countries where Microsoft could easily ignore.
