The Globe and Mail

I am so tired of this toxic billionaire-owned tech industry and their techno-fascist death drive.

How many of the commentators, op-ed writers, and politicians *outraged* about the SCC's decision striking down mandatory minimums in child porn laws have said anything about X, or quit X, as a result of it propagating CSAM?

Is Scotiabank OK with their CEO expressing such extreme right-wing views? Definitely time for people to take their money elsewhere. www.canadianmortgagetrends.com/2026/01/scot...

I assume all the Canadian commentators outraged by the recent SCC decision on mandatory minimums and child porn have quit X after all this.

Imaging the big debates going on right now at FIFA and IOC about the need for consistency and therefore when to announce the suspension of the USA from #WorldCup and #Olympics. …. lol. As if.

I genuinely cannot stress this enough. If you want to make a valid point about anything (especially social justice), using AI imagery is the quickest way to discredit everything you are saying. Same goes for fake or out of context images but especially AI. Just don’t.

Poilievre lights emergency flares to beg Trump to invade Canada

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next. charlieangus.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

"In really simple terms, I believe that almost every investment in a data center or AI startup may go to zero." I really hope the Canadian government, universities, banks are paying attention. "AI" has been a myth from the outset when "imitation" replaced "thinking."

We should all be worried about the lack of respect for democracy all around. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/4a1bc77...

Never forget.

See CarbonTracker’s new report “Petro-Provinces at Risk”. Energy transition puts at huge risk provincial revenues from oil & gas in 2030s: - AB ⬇️ 85% - BC ⬇️ 72% - SK ⬇️ 78% Oil & gas expansion is increasingly a “high-risk, low-reward strategy”.

We had a ten-year-long debate over using the word “fascism” and the Coast Guard just…tweeted it out.

Canada is also falling for AI industry hype, which is threatening to escalate the environmental crisis and derail democracy. "policymakers have a duty to serve the citizens and not cater to the whims of tech CEOs." @mark-carney.bsky.social

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Everywhere you look in Canada, there are no leaders of principle to be found.

More of that rules based international order the Liberals used to pretend to care about.

This is hilarious. I can't stop laughing about this. I think they mentioned "calm and measured" at least three times. LOL (I actually suspect it was written by AI) youtube.com/watch?v=PmUz...

The problem, once again, is that "AI" is whatever the fuck the author wants it to be, and is essentially, "the computer does cool stuff!" The first example in this article is basically a supercharged database, which is not generative AI. So it confuses the reader right from the start/ 1/3

Carney also pushing data centres and "AI"industry nonsense, driving up energy demands to keep the oil industry alive, threatened as it is by cheaper renewables. I was really hoping Canada would be a little smarter and not fall for the "AI con."

Could Tesla and its shareholders be any more out of touch with what’s happening in the world? Inequality and grotesque wealth is destroying America, but sure, make this dickhead even richer. www.thestar.com/business/tes...

Teresa Heffernan on how AI is shaped by fiction Morning File by me

While researching my current column, I had trouble finding something PM Carney said in a speech in either Factiva or Google, so I tried asking ChatGPT-5 to search for it. This was its internal response. It hallucinates in basic searches. It can't write truth. It can't copyedit. What is it good for?

This really bothers me. I don't think governing according to hype is the way to go. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Imagine if Canada was investing in research and universities, instead of burning everything down.

I think everyone will continue calling it the Epstein Ballroom.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

I look forward to seeing what all the douchebags outraged about Confederate statues being torn down have to say about Trump literally demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House.

The other word for objections to diversity, equity, and inclusion is "racism"

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism. charlieangus.substack.com/p/f-is-for-f...

Moving quickly to a world where students use AI to complete work, profs use AI to grade it, no one learns anything and we will live in a world of mediocrity and incompetence where only the billionaires benefit.

If you view fascism as a 0/1 binary, then Americans are not living under fascism. If you fascism as a continuum, you'd have to notice that someone is fucking with the dial and moving it very rapidly in the FASCIST direction Dude here thinks adopting the first pose makes him seem smart.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels. Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels. Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. This is a power grab.
