  1. I doubt that these politicians and educators could even define #AI let alone develop a coherent strategy on how to use #ML #GPT #LLM in schools.

    Linguist, Emily Bender calls these so-called AI tools — 'synthetic text extruding machines'.

  6. "Using the concept of 'slow violence', [Lisa] Griffin argues that environmental harm linked to fossil-fuel infrastructure often unfolds gradually across decades, making it less visible in short-term policy debates even as it shapes long-term climate and ecological outcomes."

  7. Lack of rain and below-normal rivers & reservoirs are impacting water supplies, with shortages leading to conservation notices, mandatory restrictions, crop losses and 'tinder-dry forests and grasslands'

  8. Striking #CanadaPost workers have offered to continue socio-economic cheque delivery (i.e. pensions, social assistance payments etc.) during their current strike.

    The provincial governments in #NovaScotia, #PrinceEdwardIsland, #NewBrunswick and #NewfoundlandLabrador have REFUSED to take #CUPW up on its offer!

  9. Now *this* is interesting.

    From 2005-2023 in Canada:
    🇨🇦 Population is up: ⬆️ +24%
    🇨🇦 GDP is also up: ⬆️ +84%
    🇨🇦 Emissions DOWN: ⬇️ -8%

    Regulations, reducing oil & coal, cap & trade, education, global treaties, and yes even carbon taxes — the work is starting to visibly pay off.

    Don’t give up on a goal just because it’s big.

  10. In my home province of #NewBrunswick our autocrat #oilExec #premier #blaineHiggs is attempting to #criminalize #drugAddiction and #homelessness. He's already threatened to use the #NotWithstanding clause to force his new "mandatory addictions treatment" bill through.

    We have ZERO space in addictions programs.
    We have ZERO free beds in hospitals.
    We have a BRAND NEW jail being built that no one knows why.

    The people on our streets will be rounded up and left to rot in overcrowded lockups where they will NOT receive adequate medical treatment, nor the financial and social services they **ACTUALLY NEED**.

    It's actions like these that have caused A DOZEN of his own party members to resign.

    Let's all stand up against this dehumanizing attack!

  15. Wake up #NewBrunswick! The real honest-to-goodness US-style #christianRight is back, and they're coming for *all* of us.

    Keeping this horror out of our #government is up to the people of #Hampton, #NB - a beautiful river community, generally thought to be quite granola. They're about to get a taste of heavy racism, misogyny, bigotry, hatred & intolerance.

    It is so, incredibly vital to keep this destructive force away from our laws, our reproductive organs, and our #lgbtq selves, family & friends.

    Please share on other social media where folks from NB are likely to be.

  21. Hey #canada! Did you know that 76% of Canadians support moving to #ProportionalRepresenttion? This will make our elections more fair, and more representative of our actual votes!

  22. We will not tolerate dehumanising anti-LGBTQ policies in our province.

    We will not tolerate an #oil executive to choose profiting billionaires over people.

    We will not allow #BlaineHiggs to trample the human rights of our #students, #teachers, #doctors and staff.

    We will take him to the #courts and to the #polls.

    The people will win.

  23. #nbpoli Opinion:

    Should
    #NewBrunswick Premier #BlaineHiggs call an #election, it's going to be incredibly hard for him not to secure another majority government.

    He's riding a massive surplus that he can use to target middle-income swing voters through targeted tax cuts and he can keep the rest of his base in line and away from the harder-right allure of the People's Alliance through his anti-LGBTQ+ fervour.

    There's really only two things that could sink him into minority or opposition status:
    - He goes a little too heavy into the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and scares off enough centrist
    #ProgressiveConservative voters.
    - His opposition (specifically
    #SusanHolt and #DavidCoon) effectively avoid falling into the trap he has set to try and make the election about the bogus #ParentalRights argument and instead hammer him effectively on other provincial crises, such as health care, housing, etc.

    The X-factor could once again be the Green Party, who could see vote bumps in ridings where fringe-PC voters don't feel like voting for another Higgs government but aren't exactly comfortable voting for the Liberals. That said, I'm not sure that vote is efficinent enough in areas to cost the PC candidate their seat.

  24. In 2019 Blaine Higgs used $5,000 of public funds to fly to Saskatchewan to hang out with Andrew Sheer and speak as a former oil industry executive about how doap oil is.

    I want him to pay that back before he resigns.

    The man is a multi-millionaire, and we have homeless children.
