The leaders of the two biggest opposition parties - Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre and New Democratic party leader Jagmeet Singh - are among politicians who actively used TikTok to reach constituents. That prompted lawmakers from both the ruling Liberals and opposition Conservatives to go even further by suspending their accounts on TikTok. "Any limitation on social media is a problem for any opposition politician," Nik Nanos of Nanos Research told Reuters, saying they do not have the incumbent advantage of being featured regularly on more traditional media outlets. Singh also told reporters that taking a pause to assess how to safely use the social media platform is "something that I feel very comfortable doing and I have no hesitation to do." Poilievre - who has styled himself as an anti-establishment figure - has relied on a strategy of directly reaching voters through social media platforms such as TikTok, where he frequently attacks opponents and makes parody videos.

A Covid-19 trend of drinkers flocking to spirits instead of beer is continuing to pressure brewers, making now a good time to sell shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev , according to UBS.

Deutsche Bank on Thursday also downgraded shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev to hold from buy, saying that the company is still well-placed but is not "broadly fairly valued."

President Joseph Biden’s administration dropped that effort and, in March 2022, the California waiver was renewed once more.
