  • I am fine with environmentalists who care about clean earth, air and water that’ll we can all enjoy making it harder for polluting companies to make more money that they hoard for themselves.

    Inb4 corporate taxes and trickle down—it’s been 40 years and there’s no trickle. And there’s orders of magnitude between the tax rate and the cleanup or remediation costs that usually are left to the provinces to figure out… if at all.






  • I think time to reflect is a factor. In the proceeding weeks we’ve seen that the tariff thing isn’t just a passing fart in the idiot’s brain space and that he’s following through on his threats.

    I think the articles that say we couldn’t join based on bureaucracy are missing the existential threat NATO is facing right now. And what’s good for NATO is good for the EU.


  • The media needs to catch up with the notion that they can’t rely on Twitter to be an accurate pulse on the world sentiment. It’s not the same people at X. It’s not people at X in a lot of cases with the bots.

    It likely went “berserk” because X’s algorithm and the bots are tuned to whip up keywords like “governor” and “Canada” used together.

    Give that there’s been a few polls this week putting Carney as the election winner I’m a bit confused on the overall election likelihood still going to conservatives. Forgive the ignorance—I’ve just never paid this much attention to polls as I have in the last month or so.


  • In the same way as people can be okay or not with eating meat, I think it comes down to individual values.

    LLMs have consequences to climate, labour, and (if you don’t disclose in some situations) how others perceive your creativity.

    For me, I would have no problem asking and AI agent to speak to a colleagues AI agent to automatically find a mutually acceptable time for a call or meeting.

    I would not use AI to compose a best man’s toast or funeral eulogy from scratch.

    The quote about “I want AI to do my dishes and laundry so I have time for more creativity, I don’t want AI to do my creativity so I have more time to do dishes and laundry” applies to me.
