@h3h3productions is such a sick fuck, knowing that Isreal doesn't give a shit about rules of engagement; wanting Hasan to go to an active war zone because there is a non-zero chance he could end up being shot. You wanna donate, how about you just donate instead of posturing.
Ethan Klein says he will donate an additional $10,000 to Hasan to help families if he goes to Lebanon and shows firsthand what the war has done to the country
There's an organized effort to make a racist movement mainstream in Canadian politics.
That's why experts were so concerned to hear the pro-mass deportation group's leader attended one of Canada's largest Conservative conferences.
In my latest piece for @TheTyee, I dig into this rising problem:
The Liberal government might as well have called its AI strategy “All in for AI”.
This is a document that is heavy on hype, but light on the right guardrails that we need to protect people – and to ensure that the benefits of the technology don’t just flow to a handful of tech giants and investors.
It proposes a massive boost to business adoption of AI, with no concern for the consequences this will have for workers, especially young workers who are already watching careers vanish before their eyes.
This government is imposing a world-changing technology on all of us without any public debate. Instead of putting in place strong regulations to safeguard workers, youth, privacy, and our water and energy supply, they prefer to “move fast and break things” as the Silicon Valley motto goes.
That’s why before rushing ahead, with no brakes, we need a robust regulatory framework. Every other industry in this country, from forestry to banking, is regulated. Yet somehow, when it comes to generative AI that is controlled by MAGA-aligned billionaires, the usual rules don’t apply.
New Democrats support the development of cutting edge technology. For AI, that looks like responsible machine learning with small, contained datasets and targeted applications.
We’re calling for a humans-first AI strategy. One that protects Canadian jobs, data and natural resources. Not a strategy that mimics the worst tendencies of AI chatbots: hallucinating benefits and flattering big tech CEOs by telling them exactly what they want to hear.
@ztisdale You are medically stupid if you think Canada isn't going to get treated like Purto Rico, they're going to take our resources and we're going to get stuck further in the same neo-liberal bullshit we're already in.
Yes, the conversation sparked by the discovery of possible unmarked graves on residential school sites prompted a national reckoning that was long overdue.
Even if there were errors in 6.5% of articles five years ago, we know children died in these schools. Bone fragments have been found. At least 4,000 children died at these schools, which would be unacceptable if it were any other group. Extensive, painful eyewitness testimony validates the truth of these horrors.
The fact that you focus on one small error in reporting as a means of invalidating an entirely necessary broader national conversation is evidence that there's only one "attention-seeking crank" here, and it isn't me.
Isreal getting to continue the conflation of Zionism with Judeaism is such a poison for any sort of discussion around what the Isreal Government is doing. The fact that that they're banning him for criticizing another countries government is absolutely insane!

“Canada expects full respect for the rights and safety of all civilians.”
“Expects.”
How about we “ensure,” and detail exactly how you’ll achieve that?
Taxing the rich is about ensuring a small handful of people don't hold a concentration of power in our society. It absolutely helps everyone if these ghouls are taxed back down to reality.
"Brothers to the Rescue" was founded/led by a self-admitted CIA operative who took part in a terrorist attack against a Havana hotel and was openly dedicated to overthrowing of the Cuban government!
They repeatedly violated Cuba's sovereign airspace, despite consistent warnings!

I feel the awfulness as when Harper was PM. https://t.co/YbNS6LN3ka
