Grok is being used to create sexualised images of women and child abuse material which are posted on X. So, why is the Department of Education still posting images of children to X? If Government Departments are going to continue to use X, can they at least stop posting images of children?

The government shamefully votes down a Bill to tackle the dereliction crisis. It's a national scandal that we have over 50,000 homes sitting vacant for more than six years during a homeless crisis. We need use it or lose it legislation.

I cannot stress enough that homelessness is caused by policy levers primarily at the provincial level. And AMO's new report shows it: homelessness in Ontario rose 8% last year, with 85,000 people becoming homeless. 20,000 were youth and children. Horrifying.

In theory, I've never liked the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit, which bridges the gap between a person's income and market rent â it's a landlord subsidy. But it's also one of the only ways we move people into housing. These cuts will leave people on the streets.

It's not good enough to blame users for the horrifying images being produced by Grok AI. This tool is doing exactly what it is designed to do. We need a criminal investigation into X and Grok - because there have been clear breaches of the law. The laws are in place â the govt must enforce them.
