Show me where the Government of Canada has actual agreements with TED to enact, decide or orientate policy.
My source is the head of the WEF.
This doesn't make sense, important people do not need networking events, the are already public figures.
You're making a straw man argument, I didn't say that.
If the head of the TED Talks organization claimed he had infiltrated world governments, I'd take it equivalently seriously.
The head of TED doesn't invite government officials around the world every year to make official agreements on policy.

Matthew Yglesias probably has more impact on policy than the WEF does. That's not a compliment to Yglesias.
