  1. ‘Major AI lab CEOs advocated for slowing the pace of AI development this weekend. They are right to be concerned: the field runs an extremely dangerous race toward superintelligent AI. We can and should be demanding that our governments protect us from the catastrophe of out-of-control AI.’ theguardian.com/technology/202

  2. This is from two weeks ago, but provided me some new insight regarding the parts of the trade war both US/Canadian politicians and corporate media appear to be intentionally minimizing, if not avoiding discussing altogether.

    It's not just cars, lumber and aluminum - but something that hits a lot closer to home for all of us.

    Note: Excellent podcast if you've never listened.

  3. "Google is bringing its age assurance technology — which uses artificial intelligence to detect underage users — to Canada.

    If it mistakenly identifies an adult as being under 18, the company says that person will be able to prove their age using things like a government ID or a selfie.""

  4. @PaulBusch So if the Coast Guard sees a boat that they think is smuggling things in, they call the RCMP, who then send in their own boat to intercept? That seems like an unwise use of resources, particularly when the RCMP seem to be over-stretched with different tasks.

  5. Norway is not in the EU. 🇳🇴

    Because it is tightly tied to the EU anyway, a European court still gets to tell it which oil fields it can approve. ⚖️🛢️

    The Carney Liberals want Canada to have “everything short of actual membership” in the EU.

    That slogan means a court across the ocean gets to tell us what resources we can and cannot develop. 🌊

  6. Canadians should be aware of the Canada Investment Summit, an initiative of the feds to pitch various projects and potential projects as investments to giant pension funds and other large global holders of capital. It will take place in Toronto over the next few days.

    For the curious, the prospectus is here: theenergymix.com/wp-content/up

    (I haven't read it myself yet.)

    Personally, I believe Canada would benefit from more investment, foreign and domestic.

  7. At this rate, Canada will be more aligned with the EU, and have greater trade ties, than the UK - Brexit was such a mistake

  8. Iran figured out that they cannot negotiate with the US Administration. Canada needs to figure this out as well.

  9. @TheBreach

    Trump read Mein Kampf for instructions, not as warning.

    So Mark Carney read Klein's 'Shock Doctrine'

    "Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar."

    Shock Doctrine

    👉 "People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic 'shock treatment', losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers"👈

  12. Working on writing yet another few angry letters to government sellout assholes. I don't even know why we have any governments anymore when politicians feel free to break laws whenever they want without any real living consequences.

  13. Humans remain STEADFAST in not learning a single thing about what we have already experienced inre #ClimateChange, let alone making ANY changes in how we do things. #cdnpoli

  14. Of course there's separatists within the separatists who want an Alberta nation/not be part of Canada anymore. They're attacking each other, from within. So damn predictable.

  15. @virtuous_sloth Not being a member of the #NDP at any level, I'm probably not the right person to comment. But anyway...

    I thought the major difference was that the provincial NDPs principally aim to win elections, and the federal NDP principally aims to be ideogically correct.

  16. @patrickhadfield

    Shortest visit ever.

    Trump didn't have a chance to rest his cankles before he was "handed his hat'

    President of Ireland Catherine Connolly is a fine President. A model to emulate.

    Invite her to Canada, pour her a drink.

    For sure,

  18. I found this article shared on Reddit, so I can't be sure it will be readable from here for everybody, but it's worth a read if you can.

    It's a sober and presumably well sourced narrative outlining the efforts of the Canadian government and their sympathizers in the #EU to work out a way of irrevocably tying us together on a crash timeline.

    If Rupert Murdoch's press is covering this seriously, then I'm going to pay attention and not just assume that it's wishful thinking. The assessment of the challenges, the possible long term benefits (and risks) of #Canada moving much closer to the EU seems to be well thought out.

  19. Some of the protesters outside a recent data centre developers conference in Calgary tell me their concerns.

    “..it’s not including new treatments, it’s not including new best practices, it’s not including stuff that’s, you know, culturally competent, because it’s taking 100 years of medical science and vomiting it into a new textbook, which isn’t accurate.”

  24. What about the other 70%?

    In an interview with the Toronto Star, Major General Wade Rutland says that Canada is preparing itself for the possibility of large-scale combat and that;

  26. ‘The brutal marginalization of working people under these regimes makes violent resistance more likely, including violence directed against their foreign backers in Canada, Europe, and the US. Yet most Canadians remain largely oblivious to their government’s corporate-influenced complicity in these continuing injustices.

    Judging by recent events, the US and its allies have learned little from the horrors of 9/11.’ canadiandimension.com/articles

  29. "The EU, which has not been flexible about membership rules in the past, is open to the idea of granting Canada a yet to be created status of associate membership, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed officials both from the EU and Canada."

  30. @chris $6 a gallon for diesel is a killer - BC truckers are now refusing to go on Oregon/California runs as it's too expensive - so on top of the boycott on US products, they simply won't be coming in

    What a shit show
