"To obtain the capital they need, hyperscalers have leveraged a growing list of complex debt-financing options ... That shift is fueling speculation that A.I. investments are turning into a game of musical chairs whose financial instruments are reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis." Vibe shift.

Liberals handed @ndp.ca an anti-AI opening when they created their Ministry dedicated to ushering this industry into our lives, and got rid of Labour Ministry. @avilewis.ca

As a Canadian, this is *by far* the greatest thing about Zohran Mamdani for me, this specific thing, not talking to this specific guy.

New on TPR: Matthew Green wins his appeal at Ontario's Divisional Court His human rights complaint, alleging racial discrimination by Hamilton Police, will move forward Relying solely on police hearings for human rights complains 'a serious affront to basic principles of fairness' #HamOnt #yhmcc

At a time when we need more affordable housing, when for profit projects are stalling and being cancelled, and when affordable housing providers continue to deliver, exploring these options makes sense, especially with Council saying we should do everything we can to address affordability.

New study finds “brutal drought and extreme heat wave that began in September 2023 transformed the lake into a steaming cauldron. The lake's waters reached 41C (106F).” 😱

More public revenue pulled into the mountainous coffers of Galen Weston. Ford’s way of helping God “bless” him into the status of Canada’s first trillionaire. Featuring @avilewis.ca youtu.be/v7aq_YnLdK8?...

Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace. @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social join @parismarx.com to discuss the many ways cars harm society and why that must change. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/301_...

Among the nice surprises in today's 🇨🇦 jobs report: Manufacturing added 9K jobs in Oct despite Trump's attacks. That puts us above 0 on a year/year basis. Compare that to the self-inflicted LOSS of 78K manufacturing jobs in the US. Trump's trade war backfires for US workers. #cdnecon #canlab

The very first #TeslaTakedown weekend of action was nearly nine months ago, on Feb. 15. Now we're calling for a mass mobilization on Nov. 15 to stand up to extreme greed and say #NoTrillionaires! Host an event in your community! 👇🧵 #teslatakedown actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Ford does not care about you or your family: he’s fighting so hard to crush bike lanes infrastructure so that you *must* get a car which the average cost of (used) is over $25k - not to mention the cost of food keeps going up, electricity costs, and income inequality is at an all time high!

I'd be curious to know if Bill 60's prohibition on cities doing anything but adding more car lanes, means that any consideration of HSR/transit lanes, on a hypothetically expanded Linc/RHVP, is off the table? #HamOnt @ward1wilson.bsky.social @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social @craigcassar.bsky.social

Hey @joshmatlow.bsky.social @mayoroliviachow.ca Toronto should do this👇 and start publishing the data now. Every day. How many lives the speed camera saves from injury and car crashes. In the last week, cars have gone 60 in a 40 zone & driven on a sidewalk towards me to pass a truck. 🤯😡 #TOpoli

Confirmed: yesterday's billionaire simps are simping for trillionaires today.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Quite a headline.

Scott Radley's seems to suggest private sector contrators are fleecing #HamOnt tax payers, so why doesn't he get around to asking why Public Works doesn't have more skilled trade workers so that housing and washroom construction could be done in-house?

Alt headline: Coliseum sponsor by bank with $42B annual profits, partners with foreign brewery that made $750M annual profit. Still not paying its local #HamOnt workers a living wage @thespec1846.bsky.social www.thespec.com/business/vis...

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

the future of electric vehicles is e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, electric vans, and small, shared affordable cars this also has a carbon footprint as large as an internal combustion engine SUV. this was greenwashing that was always going to fail - even before the massive subsidies were eliminated.

They've tried adding a battery that weights as much as a Honda Civic to their massive pickup, and their out of climate ideas! 🤷‍♂️

Alcohol sent over 9,000 to ER visits in #HamOnt, just last year.

When it rains a lot I go to the St. George Rainway to watch water going in and out of things. So, here’s a thread for those of you similarly enthralled… @greenestcity.bsky.social @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

Looking at you, King William Street.

Brampton published their top 10 speeders. Most if not all of them would have had their cars impounded if caught by police officers, along with other punishments. This is who Doug Ford is protecting with his ban. www.bramptonguardian.com/news/200-in-...

When a government wants to limit debate on legislation, you KNOW the policy and direction totally has merit. /s

Terrific data visualization! Sure beats the #HamOnt donut!

Yet another 🚳 attack by Doug Ford!

Seeing regular ads of @mark-carney.bsky.social and @jagmeetsingh.ca being arrested on YouTube and X, it’s obvious this problem is hardly isolated. Something Minister of AI @evansolomon.bsky.social should look into it! 🙄

Scams undermine democracies and free enterprise by eroding general mutual trust. Meta’s business model incentivizes people to financially exploit each other.

60 years ago. Saw our future. Worth a read.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.
