Canada’s public infrastructure is not up for sale. My address at the @novascotiandp.bsky.social convention.

Pretty much every response I’ve seen, from across the spectrum of #cdnpoli, to the new AI strategy:

Greetings & salutations to my fellow insomniacs!

Internationally Carney has this positive image. Davos carved that. Domestically, more and more people are wondering just who Carney really is. As we see him more, his actions don't match words. There is concern he is basically a big business investment banker who misinterprets his role as PM.

I sent my email, will you send yours? share.google/LEoOTYszr4Np...

Congrats! Now let the faculty into the FA.

Good riddance to bad trash

Art Institute has moved to censor free speech of its tenured faculty.

Yesterday, I posted that the government cannot claim privacy as a fundamental right in the morning and push mandatory metadata retention that overrides it in the afternoon. Hours later, Liberal MPs voted against inviting the Privacy Commish to come to committee.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find a single word in here about protecting Canadian artists from having their work stolen by AI companies, or compensating them for that stolen work. Why is it that people who create Canadian culture don't deserve accountability or control?

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

I have no idea why people aren’t infuriated about this

Omg. Wake.Up.

USPS is now on the verge of dramatically limiting voting by mail. The postal service is proposing a rule to limit mail-in voting for the midterms, expanding federal control over voting without congressional approval. It's a big step in Trump's plan to take over elections.

1/4 This is truly a terrible take and smacks of entitlement. Libraries are the centre of communities, helping people access not just books, but the world. To demean what libraries offer, all to try and guilt people who frequent them is shameful, especially for an author.

🧵 “People aren’t sure what’s true, and what libraries are here for is to help with that.” So says Brewster Kahle, digital librarian of the Internet Archive, discussing the future of the Wayback Machine on ABC Radio National (Australia) 🇦🇺. 🎧 Listen ⤵️ www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
