What if…and this is wild here… What if…the carbon taxes went towards building out the infrastructure to decarbonize. You know, like electric charging stations from east to west, solarification of rooftops and parking lots, expansion of public transportation… Crazy, I know…

If the OPP need a jet so little that the Ontario premier can use it whenever he feels like it, why does the OPP need this jet at all? Since taxpayers paid for the jet, we should be able to decide whether this was an unreasonable expense. It certainly looks like it.

At this point being an opposition MP is a pretty good gig. Great pay and benefits package, gold plated pension. Little actual responsibility..

How the hell are there a billion TikToks of UPS/USPS drivers taming every breed known to man BY THEMSELVES but 20 friggin police officers couldn’t subdue a single golden doodle without pulling their guns and killing it???

Justice for Jameson!

Privacy involves more than just AI and social media. How banks, retailers, airlines, etc. deal with our information matters too. To conceive of it as just an adjunct of the AI and digital file, explains a lot about how this government doesn’t get privacy. michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/cana…

True Pierre! Unlike you, most Canadians haven’t spent their entire adult life being taken care of by the government. 22 years and nothing accomplished.

ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

#PierrePoilievre: Is this what you’re wearing all the time?

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library. A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.” — Carl Sagan

The Liberals have finally acknowledged the dangers of surveillance pricing, after the NDP raised the alarm about corporations using personal information to charge you more. But they still won't commit to banning it. The decision should be simple. If companies are mining your data to squeeze more money out of you, your government should use their power to protect you — not corporate profits.

The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout. The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.

I think a lot of people are exhausted because it feels like every beautiful or useful thing eventually gets monetised, privatised, extracted, or bulldozed.

The most important “data centres” to invest in will always be public schools.

"It is obvious that the intent is to privatize water in Ontario, and this, as we know from countless international examples, is a disaster in the making." Avi Lewis responds to the Ford government’s move to strip municipalities of control over water infrastructure, handing it to newly created water corporations.

So let me get this straight: When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis. When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation. Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?

At the moment, I’m more concerned with unintelligent AI and the increasingly unintelligent people relying on it to think for them.
