Wake up Canada. Starmer, Macron, and Carney are simultaneously coming for our right to free speech. It's not a coincidence. It's not about the kids.

You have to read Bill C-34 on The Commission to believe it. It sets the rules on age verification, social media bans, and content removals while serving as combined regulator, investigator and advocate. At the start, Chair alone can be the full Commission. x.com/mgeist/status/20665288…

Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773. Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child. So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are. Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech The UK is in a free fall.

The Left is pushing for identification to use the internet while pushing for no identification to vote. Think about that.

Banning people under 16 from YouTube is insane. That is an extremely valuable tool for learning. Music and videos. My Nephew watches Minecraft videos on there. This is insane. We need to get the Liberals out of power in Canada and we need to do it now.

Any American who can run fable commands for me?

For one glorious day, Canadians from every province, political party, and postal code came together in agreement: “That Globe and Mail headline was insane.” Nation-building works in mysterious ways.

When the model goes down.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

RT @Jason: This is classless and dangerous. You’re a disgrace @globeandmail

What a terrible take. You don’t have to agree with @elonmusk’s politics to recognize what he has accomplished. When we become incapable of admiring extraordinary achievement because we dislike someone’s politics, what message are we sending to every entrepreneur and innovator?

This is petty and stupid. It is also dangerous. Very clearly the first city on Mars will be named Musk and very clearly the Globe and Mail is a rag of lies that would go bankrupt without perpetual subsidies.

You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us. A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated. Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.

What the fuck?

Unlimited power.

It is simply not credible to have sat through Bill C-22 committee hearings where numerous experts expressed concerns about the privacy implications of metadata retention and weakening encryption and say the bill has nothing to do with privacy. Rock bottom. x.com/jacobmantle/status/206…

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe. We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

Bill C-34 is not just about child safety. It's about who decides how children navigate the internet: parents or the state. Social media bans displace parental authority. But the less Ottawa relies on parents, the more it must rely on age verification, age estimation, and surveillance to enforce the ban. The more it relies on these tools, the greater the privacy cost to all Canadians. Will Ottawa consider the possibility that parental rights and responsibilities are a practical alternative to surveillance?
