She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Canada has binding regulations on everything from guns to butter. And none for AI. Are we going to trust people like Elon Musk & Sam Altman to regulate themselves? Or is our government going to stop cheerleading & start regulating in the public interest? It’s literally what government is for.

These snivelling cowards. Canadians will not forget that America treated Putin's Russia like its best friend and us like an enemy. Ever.

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky

No matter where you stand on Billy Bishop airport expansion, the apparent fact that lobbyists for secretive private capital have been granted far more influence over local decision-making than the voters of Toronto should scare the bejeezus out of you. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
