3/ We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble. And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

2/ But strong words must be followed by strong action. Sanctioning individual ministers is not enough when this cruelty is mirrored in Israeli state policy. Close the loophole on arms sales, cancel the free trade agreement and use every tool in Canadaโs diplomatic arsenal to end Israelโs impunity.

With its new AI-based "search," Google is literally killing the infrastructure that its entire business is built on. Instead of linking people to the web, it will lock users into an "interactive" mode that slorps up data what is rapidly becoming the now-neglected and unvisited web. (1/3)

The AI boom is unsustainable because the entire thing is predicated on cannibalizing the future. Is this a better way to search? Maybe! Will there be anything new for the AI to search if no one gets web traffic from Google Search anymore? There will not.
