  • This is purely for the hype-fuelling optics. Danielle Smith is currently in the process of whoring our province out to AI datacenter developers, so we all have to make a big show of pretending that AI shit don’t stink. Who cares if getting an LLM to write legislation is the literal antithesis of democracy. Here in Alberta, if we catch sight of an ecologically abusive industry that’s doomed by its sheer fundamental unsustainability and hated by every person in the country, of course we’re going to try and lure it home.

    And these fucking UCP stooges wonder why they’re getting recall petition’d.





  • To add on to this, it puts a seriously progressive candidate in a position to actually implement some of the changes progressive folks have been championing, which has basically never happened before. If things work out well, it will serve as a real-life demonstration of the merits of leftist policy, which will hopefully force moderates/centrists to maybe confront some of their deeply held assumptions and start pulling in the right direction.






  • I pretty much despise Doug Ford and everything he’s ever done politically, but his opinions on Tump are actually exquisite. As Canada’s most preeminent asshole, he’s final|y discovered a way to use his abilities for good and I fully support him in this capacity. That Reagan ad was chef’s kiss. Keep it up, Doug!

    Meanwhile, Carney continues to waste his effort trying to negotiate with a cheat and a liar. Trump has proven time and time again that he is incapable of upholding his end of the bargain. I appreciate the Canadian values Carney is espousing by de-escalating the conflict and showing an astounding level of patience and charity towards someone who doesn’t deserve it, but it’s completely lost on Trump. He’s irredeemable.
