Locking Canada into even more infrastructure for a dying industry that's also destroying the world. I'd say I don't know how Carney or the other Liberal MPs sleep at night. But I strongly suspect they sleep very well at night because they don't care about the future of the country or our species.

I appreciate some people might not understand the implications of Mark Carney’s Bill C-22 But Carney supporters arguing we should aspire to emulate how electronic communications are regulated in *squints* the United Arab Emirates, Cuba, Oman, Qatar, Venezuela, Iran, China and Russia..?

Danielle Smith isn't a separatist. The reality is far worse. She's a rank opportunist.

Hey @npd.ca, it's great that the gov't is taking the deepfake issue seriously, but due to the slipperiness of defining terms like "sexual imagery" this is something that the government will need to review periodically, as the tactics being used change: www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/11/n... 1/2

This is a direct result of the disinfo-driven, grievance based style of politics that conservative politicians in Canada have come to rely on. What Jason Kenney says in the article is true, but he and his colleagues are the primary cause. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/12/n...

There's thousands of people who live on the streets in BC. We have some of the highest levels of income inequality and a fentanyl crisis killing more people every single day. This is not only an environmental disaster but a middle finger to humanity itself

If absolutely any of the Carney government's major policies were tabled by a Conservative Party of Canada federal government, there'd be riots in the streets. Instead, out of complacent critical-thinking-free lazy political tribalism, millions of Canadians cheer on colossal harms from our PMO.

Mark Carney quoting Marc Andreessen to push data centre projects. This country is in for a rough few years.

The group has a legal fund and is asking for support to hold CPS, the City and UofC accountable for brutalizing protesters and denying them Charter rights. chuffed.org/project/1808...

I admit it. I'm a precautionary principle monger.

Great piece on the national about political parties and privacy laws ❤️ "basically what's happened is that politicians have been exempting themselves" Professor Colin Bennet #conflictofinterest #electoralreform www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA3M...

Anyone who tells you that we should engage to find good faith solidarity with Tucker or MTG is probably just doing politics as pro wrestling, where finding yourself a storyline is your job, or they are, at the very least, indifferent to antisemitism.

Apparently there are real people arguing that AI will IMPROVE our idea of a “shared reality” because they think AI tells everyone the same things. People have no fucking idea how this technology even works (or, I’d argue, doesn’t)

1/ PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry). www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Here's what happens when you attempt to appease Alberta separatists by destroying Federal environ. policy: They learn separatism works to get what they want which then makes separatists bolder. Pictured below: person stoking Alberta separatism claims we just need to appease it a bit more. #CDNpoli

This is awesome news. Doug Ford has definitely been pro-oil (e.g. car-focused transportation strategy,) but Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator chose renewables over fossil fuels, not as a matter of government policy, but just on price: www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/08/o... 1/2

Same story, three provinces, same cause: Each one signed on to the Alberta Recovery Model in 2024. Why do we accept eugenic public policy in 2026?

After too many years of incompetence and corruption by Premier Doug Ford, there is now a growing, grassroots protest movement against Doug Ford. The next big protest, with 50 cities signed up so far, will be May 30 pressprogress.ca/fight-doug-f... 1/2

26 of the 27 EU member states use proportional systems, as well as the EU Parliament. If Mark Carney believes this is where the international order will be rebuilt, let's join them and embrace the same democratic standard.

"Comparable democracies ... all subject political parties to comprehensive privacy laws. Instead of following suit, Canada’s Bill C-25 is currently slated to require only a minimal list of elements political parties’ privacy policies should include, with no binding external review or oversight"

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education

Ah, yes. The top-notch algorithm of the bsky Trending feed.

This is terrible news. Trump has already dragged the world into a war this is not a "World War," in the sense of WW1 or WW2, but a war that is harming every country on the planet. Now the war-mongers want to set up their own financial institution, ... actionnetwork.org/letters/stop... 1/2

With the reveal that post-Fox Tucker Carlson has 7.3k subscribers, reminder that *all* rightwing media is a miserable enormously unpopular and wildly unprofitable failure, only kept aloft via the largesse of a handful of billionaire pedophiles pumping them with endless amounts of cash.

Hey @avilewis.ca This is something that could be a good thing, but the LPC are not providing much detail at this point. Which makes it an opportunity for the NDP to show the public that it can still steer the LPC in a positive direction. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... 1/10

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

Carney is a 20th century leader. And not one of the transformational ones who took big swings to build things, one of the neoliberal late stage ones that tore society down. His vision is of a Canada that doesn't do big things, it has more soldiers and fewer of everything else.

"Conservatives treat our troops like a pit bull chained up in the backyard. They think it makes them look tough and keeps them safe but really they couldn’t care less about its health or happiness"

Yes.

Top to bottom, generative AI is a technology designed to deceive, to create the illusion of knowledge, of understanding, of human contact. That, not concerns about accuracy, is the standard that Wernick and others should concern themselves with.

Even aside from the Trumpian language in the title ("Trillions in investment!") the other thing that caught my attention about this article is the extent to which "investment" and "building things" are specifically used in reference to the oil industry: www.cbc.ca/news/busines... 1/3

WTF @[email protected]? Like, I'd love to be getting so much engagement that it hits some kind of rate limit, but honestly, I'm not there yet Also, tags are not working?

The federal government here in Canada is moving forward with a truly brutal serveillance bill, C-22. This is an updated version of a previous bill, C-2, which did not pass. Open Media is running an email campaign to try to stop this legislation: action.openmedia.org/page/188754/... 1/2

Look forward to hearing how they plan to do this without verifying everyone’s identity on social media to make sure you’re not a teenager

Why is it that price signals, the manifestation of the free market, are some innately wise force when it comes to housing or groceries — but when gas prices rise, we should do everything we can to blunt it? Are drivers exempt from the free market? Are there no alternatives to driving SUVs?

Trump hasn't betrayed America, this is what America wanted & he came out of everything America is. And he'll go nowhere until America confronts what it is itself that made him.

- Increases and prolongs reliance on fossil (so next crisis hurts even more) - Often doesn't pass through to consumers (fossil co's just pocket it) - Benefits enjoyed more by the rich (who drive bigger cars longer distances) - Decreases gov't revenue so you end up paying for it in different ways

You are not allowed to search for this post for context. You must accept it for what it is.

Millions in tax breaks to the AI industry while librarians are removed from prisons in order to save tax money (op).. This is exactly the OPPOSITE OF AI SAFETY. This is AI making the world shittier. This is AI increasing harm.

Mark Carney wants the fantasy of AI to be reality, despite the evidence it’s not coming, but ignores how AI creates an antisocial world where more people suffer mental health challenges, do not think critically, are addicted to screens, have their work degraded, and can’t tell fact from fiction.

Marathons just ain’t what they used to be.

Virtue is something you have to signal in a speech every now and then so people will continue rationalizing your lack of values.

Carney's been in power for a year, which he's spent spouting empty rhetoric while pursuing an industry-first + AI-as-austerity-tool approach to digital policy. It's time to stop hoping that he sees the light on AI (or any other issue) and time to start assessing his actual record.

Twitter allows non consensual ai fakes & CSAM Tiktok builds addictive algorithm. Liberals: hmmm. It's the kids. We've got to regulate the kids.

Canadian digital policy should be focused on counterbalancing out-of-control market forces and regulating platforms in the public interest What we don’t need is paternalism or new rules policing Internet users

This is why the term “cognitive surrender” needs to start being used QUICKLY. It actually clearly defines what these fools want.

I hate war. I hate murder. I hate when my government murders other people in my name. I hate when my government prepares to round up young men in my country to go murder people in another country. Again, it’s wrong. It’s immoral. It shouldn’t be happening. No excuses.
