Ottawa’s bid to restrict the notwithstanding clause is framed as rights protection, but it risks undermining democracy. The left should defend parliamentary sovereignty, not judicial supremacy, argues @donalgill.bsky.social.

New piece from me in @canadiandimension.bsky.social, something that’s deliberately polemical and provocative. A major backlash to the harms caused by AI is undoubtedly coming. This is a political opportunity - no other party has it on their agenda. tinyurl.com/mvryfjuj #CdnPoli #NDP #AI

The NDP doesn’t need to chase tech boosterism to stay relevant. It needs to take a principled stand against the unchecked rise of AI—and in doing so, reclaim its purpose as a voice for human dignity and democratic control, says @donalgill.bsky.social.

May 25, 1870: The Battle of Eccles Hill was fought near Frelighsburg and Saint-Armand, Quebec. Part of the Fenian Raids, the Fenians crossed the border into Canada and were met by the Canadian home guard and armed citizens. It was a victory of the Fenians that left two dead.

There’s an old Chinese proverb: If you sit by the river for long enough, you will see the body of your enemy float by. You’d be sitting and waiting by Liffey or Lee for a long time, waiting for Fianna Fáil to float by. #GE24 www.irishpoliticsnewsletter.ie/p/fianna-fail

Fianna Fáil are poised yet again to take the reins of government. Their longevity is remarkable. #GE24 #Ireland #FiannaFail open.substack.com/pub/tull/p/f...

#GE24 polling day is today! Could be a hugely consequential election for Ireland. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. Will this election rhyme with 1977 or 2007, I wonder 🤔 Lots to dig into and consider as we start to step back from an unusual campaign.

Read my latest. I am running as an “Independent candidate,” they declare, and it's not just a statement — it's a detonation. Or so they think it is. They all believe that. www.irishpoliticsnewsletter.ie/p/meet-your-... #GE24
