Claude is not "he", Claude is "it." It is incapable of thought. I don't understand why anyone would accept the anthropomorphism of a computer program.

This AI stuff.... Anyone else feel like they're one of the remaining unbitten characters in a zombie movie?

Have we tried properly funding healthcare rather than starving it, declaring it broken, and privatizing?

"A little-known advocacy organization founded by some of the richest people in the country has big ambitions to radically change Canada. As I will detail here in the first of 3 parts running this week, Build Canada has found a strong ally for its policy agenda in Prime Minister Mark Carney" #CdnPoli

It's a good question. And a fair question. #ItsOurMoney #NoCorporateWelfare #cdnpoli #onpoli #bcpoli

Hey honestly, we ARE drowning and if you’re not hearing from us, it probably means we would really love it if someone did check in on us. Rescue work, like a lot of humanitarian work, has a very high burnout rate & mental health toll. Lots of us have a really disproportionate empathy:capacity meter.

Plus ça change... @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli

A little-known advocacy organization founded by some of the richest people in the country has big ambitions to radically change Canada. Christopher Holcroft explains. #canpoli

Simple solution? Fire those involved! 😡 It is *Your Job* to keep women in your community safe. “…the police service has assembled a table of senior leaders to propose simple solutions to the issue.” www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

NHS was fully in public hands before. NHS functioned much better before Palantir. Just like water and the railway system. The madness is believing clearly compromised influence operations, which attack national sovereignty. #muskisALiar

Nothing says ‘For the people’ like large police presence 😡 #FireFord

“Cdns are seeing their SM feeds filled with AI slop & misinfo. Ppl who live in towns fear data centres will threaten their QOL. Artists are seeing their work ripped off & who can forget how OpenAI refused to rpt the 18yo shooter in Tumbler Ridge mths b/f that tragedy took place?”

Why does it all sound like a pyramid scheme? #AIgrifting #AIpyramidscheme #AIslop #cdnpoli

Oh come on!! .... everyone knows that "protecting Ontario" means protecting Dougie and his band of privateers... nothing else is important to them.

Keir Starmer’s under-16 social media ban can only work if everyone proves who they are, so it’s a natural move for a government selling surveillance as safety By tech policy expert and digital rights advocate @heatherburnstech.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/under-16-s...

Brilliant!

Same sit, different day! Arrested under terrorism charges for holding a sign saying “Saving Lives Is Not Terrorism - I support Palestine Action” despite the Government's ban being found unlawful by the High Court. "How ridiculous!" Support at: www.defendourjuries.net/savinglives

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

FFS 😖

Here's a nice essay about the Canadian Government's "We're Gonna Do it Anyway" survey about #GovernorFord's plan to expand #BillyBishopAirport to accomodate jets and bail out #EpsteinsBanker from a dumb business decision. Cue #OntarioPCParty bots & trolls. environmentaldefence.ca/2026/06/10/t...

Uh-oh. Don't let #GovernorFord51 see this. You know he's still set on having his own private jet, at #OntarioTaxpayers' expense. #DougFordisMAGA #DougFordGravyPlane #DougFordIsCorrupt #TorontoIslands #BillyBishop #onpoli #cdnpoli

⬇️ THIS ⬇️ from a veteran 🇨🇦 Emergency Medical Physician. If a doctor would be disciplined for discussing this in an elevator-> WHY do we continue to underfund overcrowding that requires them to discuss PRIVATE details when treating a patient in a PUBLIC SPACE like a hallway or waiting room chair.

Trump even said so... 👇

Convoy ding dongs and Albertan separatists bemoaning their lack of freedom.

“This will be a loose, inconsistent, & opaque regulatory regime. The extent of protections that CDNs. receive will be decided not through a democratic process/independent regulatory body but through market forces & closed-door deals w/US tech titans.” A MUST read. #AI is a legit threat. #cdnpoli

Some cling to outdated #Conservative tropes, such as "small government" and "fiscal responsibility." Doug Ford counts on this, despite his government being responsible for Ontario's half-trillion-dollar debt, the largest cabinet in history and adding patronage bureaucracy everywhere. #onpoli

Don't plan to come to the US for the World Cup. Trump will deny you entry last minute and cost you thousands. Especially if he thinks your country was mean to him. www.bbc.com/news/article...

⬇️ SAME for Canada ⬇️ but make it Stephen Harper.

As Christine says, this is a must-read from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social about a universal evil taking advantage of our most vulnerable children. Governments that should be protecting children are turning them into a commodity for depraved exploitation. #ChildrenArePeopleToo #CareCentres #ChildCare

Governments/policy makers in countries around the world have moved to priv corp models on e/thing from LTC, Hospitals, prisons/detention ctrs community living facilities, child care, veterans & assisted care. I see 💴 being made w/no checks & balances & no accountability. How’s this working for us?

It's hard to convey just how monstrous the privatisation of children's care homes has become. Highly vulnerable children have been turned into cash machines, with devastating impacts on their wellbeing. Please sit down before reading this week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Want to send a message to Doug Ford or a member of this cockamamie government? Here’s a handy postcard with room for a few thoughts, the address of their constituency office (since they won’t be back at Queen’s Park until October 27) and a stamp. stickersbyjls.etsy.com/listing/4516...

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Are you kidding?! Doug Ford underfunds and privatizes #Ontario healthcare at alarming pace. His govt REFUSES to fund phase one of a desperately needed NEW hospital for Kingston and eastern Ontario, My kid’s job includes trapping squirrels and bats that get into critical areas of the facility.

It's chive blossom time! (Taste one first.) Delicious little bits of colour and flavour for a salad or sannie.🌱 Photo on the left features a happy bumble bee. Right photo shows Gigi sniffing and chewing; she loves to chew chives, especially when they're dried out. #chives #BalconyGarden #cats

Is #Google citing the biggest source of disinformation in Canada? Guess they don't care about #Credibility. #Disinformation

but it doesn't make it's way into the media cycle. And mainstream media is feckless - sanewashing & bothsidesing us into fascism. Meanwhile people on the left engage in endless arguments about what TheMessage™ should be as if that'll fix everything. It's a bandwidth problem, not a content problem./2

He will not.

It’s a beautiful day to tell #DougFord all of the ways he is destroying Ontario and letting down the “folks” who call it home.

There's a seemingly endless list of reasons to #FightFord. Find a protest to join tomorrow: protestdougford.com Can't get to a protest? Let #DougFord know how you feel about what he's doing to Ontario. 416-325-1941 1-800-387-5559 (TTY) [email protected] #TheShadyBunch #DougFordIsCorrupt

Legally speaking, Nieuport is a partnership under Ontario law between a trust and another partnership which is itself owned by a second trust, all of which are registered at the offices of a single law firm in downtown Toronto. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Who would have guessed, #GovernorFord51 is turning over the #TorontoIslands to a big #US PrivateEquityEquity fund owned by #JPMorgan, after plenty of "lobbying" and secrecy. #SEZ #FOI Follow the story thru comments. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Good song; important message: They can't keep us all down... Excellent #Ukulele picking from @monroviaboy.
