Governments are chasing AI investment, even as their publics turn against the technology and the data centers that power it. Canada’s Mark Carney has chosen a shameless approach: to cast the opposition as a lack of “literacy” as he sets out to (re)educate Canadians about the benefits of AI.

I liked the part where he said "I'm gonna schwarb!!" and then he schwarbed all over those guys

Have you seen this yet? This is wrong. Parliament is supposed to be a civic space — the one room in this country where every faith, and no faith, stands on equal ground.

Anyways, let's watch Alex Trebek figure skating and rapping about early-90s hockey news while hosting the 1990 NHL Awards

I had a feeling that the private clinic that did my cataracts was running a scam, and now I’m feeling vindicated. This kind of thing is a real threat to public healthcare, and it needs to be cracked down on. I drained my savings for this, and they were likely lying to me about wait times.

In 2020, Ontario began pushing some of its publicly funded cataract surgeries into private, for-profit clinics. Why what happened next, writes @alisonmotluk.bsky.social, offers a window into the possible future of care in this province. thelocal.to/cataract-sur...

After months of trying to play nice with Donald Trump and MAGA world, Mark Carney decided to drop the hammer of truth on his rogue administration, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. What comes next will help determine Canada's place in the world — and whether it even has one.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

PM Mark Carney is working for Canadians by developing new trade agreements with world leaders so we can break away from being dependent on the U.S. Poilievre is complaining that PM Carney is spending too much time out of our Country. Poilievre can never be our PM.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

China is a rising state largely as they listen to experts while declining states like the US throw scientists out of windows . One of the reasons why China is leading the world in innovations in renewable energy, while the US is descending into conspiracy theories #Cdnpoli #Uspoli #China

Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post? The billionaire class. If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...

Dear Bob Rae, You don't get paid to sit and listen. You get paid to stand up for Canadian values. During the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine you used the word genocide numerous times. The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide. You're our ambassador. Why the silence?

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

Canadian fentanyl is the new Iraqi WMDs. The fact that we can't find the Canadian fentanyl is proof that Saddam is hiding the Canadian fentanyl from us.

Greer on Canada: "Sometimes we hear statistics like, 'Oh, there's only one kilogram of fentanyl coming over the border.' What that tells me is there's not enough enforcement. That's not a point in favor. That means not enough is doing on to stop this. We know there's more."

Just listen to how Stephen Colbert answered this question off the cuff.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
