2/ The recently-released data centre framework does absolutely nothing to guarantee protection for Canadians. The principles are entirely voluntary and non-binding. We know how corporations treat self-regulation.

We need legally-binding protections, real public control, and an AI policy that puts people first - including a pause on new AI data centres until regulations are in place.

There’s too much on the line. Only the federal government can act comprehensively on AI.

We need our government to slow down and get real about the many risks: to jobs, to neighbourhoods, to air quality and electricity prices. And yes, to all human life.

1/ I wish I shared the minister’s confidence that Canadians (let alone all humans) are well protected from the many different dangers of AI.

When it comes to these warnings about AI self-improvement accelerating to the point where it could wipe out humanity in the next few years, it’s important to say that they could be a marketing stunt to fuel fear and pump even more money into the AI bubble.

Or, these tech companies are actively building a technology they know could kill us all.

Either way, we need to slow down the rush to embed AI in every part of our lives, to build data centres everywhere, and to embrace AI the way the Government of Canada has been doing.

The feds need to lead the effort to put hard, legal guardrails on AI and slow down the rush. Not cheerlead, lead.

Freeland US reality check:

Don't be fooled by the claim that "legislation being prepared to preserve Species at Risk Act" SARA needs to be protected from the Gov't of Canada.
Industry has been lobbying for years to gut this law, e.g.; dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.32633.68960/1
Shaun Fluker & I showed how DFO attempted to undermine the Act for 1 threatened sp. as an example: https://scholarworks.umt.edu/plrlr/vol42/iss1/6/
#TradeWar is a perfect excuse.

Sadly, this attitude is typical of Canadian liberal elites. They think electing some Democrats will fix things with the US.

Chyrstia Freeland:

"I really wish [US] would recognize that the world is watching them — We would prefer a United States which was democratic and was a good ally for the world's democracies, we just don't know if that's going to be the choice [the US] makes." #cdnpoli

Freeland US reality check:

"Trump is president - elected a 2nd time. You are the place where democracy is on life support. — We are seeing more [USians] than we should be seeing capitulating to [Trump] — Too many [USians] are capitulating to an increasingly authoritarian regime." #cdnpoli

Freeland US reality check:

"There is a huge effort among [the US] traditional allies right now to diversify away from [the US]. Whether it is in trade or security. — The World's democracies, recognize that we would all be much better off if [the US] became sane again." #cdnpoli

"The federal government has quietly stopped evaluating whether new gas power plants and oilsand facilities will damage Canada's rivers and lakes, air quality and species on the edge of extinction."

Chrystia Freeland gives the US a reality check:

"President Trump was elected not once, but twice, and that is causing a lot of Canadians to wonder if the United States can ever be trusted again." #cdnpoli

"'AI Minister' Solomon announced the launch of a new initiative to boost AI literacy among Canadians.

… includes 'AI essentials' courses for students, educators & Canadians in general. The gov't is partnering with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, one of Canada’s three national AI institutes.

'We’ll invest $13 million to launch this course, to expand AI literacy for every single Canadian'."

(What a waste) 😠.

It means he is in debt for GENERATIONS...

and the only way he repays that debt is by trying to sell #Alberta off to them until he's in the clear, which he never will be.

He's a selfish madman.

Trump discussing the takeover of Canada, January 2025, he states that his plan is not to take Canada by military force but attack them economically. The so called trade war he launched is meant to cripple the Canadian economy and trigger a US takeover of the country. #CdnPoli

Saddle Lake First Nation in Alberta (NE of Edmonton) offers a safe haven for gender affirming care.

It'd be fascinating to see if this gets challenged. Treaty affairs are federal matters.

At least there are opportunities for safe havens.

“In this conversation, Fawcett says Canadians should prepare for a longer conflict and stop assuming the old Canada-U.S. relationship can simply be restored after Trump. He argues the real choice is no longer between the pre-Trump status quo and diversification, but between deeper dependence on the United States and building new economic relationships in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere.”
