Tbh that's the least they should do. Imo there should be punished for even thinking about it.

The Thomson family is the wealthiest family in Canada, btw. Wonder what kind of effect they have on our politics?

Huh, me neither:

Thomson Reuters Corporation (/ˈrɔɪtərz/ ⓘ ROY-tərz) is a Canadian multinational content-driven technology conglomerate.[4] The company was founded in Toronto, Ontario, and maintains its headquarters in the city at 19 Duncan Street.

Reuters was not originally a Thomson family outfit but rather was purchased by them in 2008.

If you've ever been in a Canadian art museum the AGO in Toronto is like half of the art collection of the elder Thompson.
