While BC’s Attorney General and CBC rush to blame OpenAI/ChatGPT for the Tumbler Ridge shooting — claiming the company should have called police over violent prompts — they’re silent on the other side of the story.
Northern Health made multiple visits
RCMP had been to the premises repeatedly for mental health concerns and even seized guns… only to return them to the home
Pointing fingers at a tech company is easy. Asking why actual authorities with boots on the ground and direct knowledge failed to prevent it? That’s apparently too inconvenient
The press is remarkably incurious when the narrative doesn’t fit “blame Silicon Valley” @brodiefenlon
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

A big congratulations to the Alto executives for getting $2.8 million in bonuses for a train project that has no route, no financing, no building permit, no start date, and won’t exist for over a decade.
The Liberal Club is getting richer than ever. Thank you, Mark Carney. Pop the Champagne!!! 🍾 🥂
In March of last year Carney ran around telling Canadians that we wouldn’t be seeing him unless it was a crisis & that he is the most useful person during one. He agreed to himself being compared to Churchill.
Fast Forward to last night as we all watched “Churchill Carney” run away like a coward after being asked to comment on the recession.
We now know his true colors.
"Canada strong, will help Make America Great Again"
Who is listening but not hearing??
Canada strong defined by Carney's actions - a new world order - Chinese Trade - Submarines from S. Korea - military planes from Sweden. .... that will make America great???
Now do you hear??

But… But… There are 200 “settlers” in the “West bank” who are the problem. Let’s sanction them!
It’s the Jews who make up 0.25% of the population who are the problem.
Radical Islam? Shut up. You’re an Islamaphobe.
Unbelievable.
The west is cooked and doesn’t have much longer before it falls to Islam.
You can’t solve a problem without recognizing it and not only is the west refusing to see Islamists for what they are. Anyone who DOES see it is labeled a racist.
Economics 101. .... excellent episode today, @BenShapiroShow.
For decades we've been programmed .... FALSELY. Forever, the NDP in 🇨🇦, and the Liberals for the last decade have intruded in the economy .... THAT *IS* the problem.
In case you missed it. 🇨🇦 is NOT a serious country, it is a joke. We've known for years now .... rhetoric is NOT reality, the U.S. is doing something about that*!
We in 🇨🇦 also pay ~50% in taxes, .... and we get zip for protection. If it wasn't for the U.S. we'd be at the mercy of the Russians. Even with the U.S., the liberals are inviting communist China free access*!
@TruthSeek01011 Hey @TruthSeek01011, do you go to church?
Some are able to have a proper foundation without it, but for the masses, being raised with truth, honesty, & a well-formed conscence, made for a very prosperous N. America. .... reality .... history .... the answer ....
Whole 20 minutes is golden, thank you @BenShapiro*!
Hard to just clip this bit to share, even the Q & A at the end contains some excellent information. 🇨🇦 is debating freedom of speech, religion, and free market .... that's WRONG*!*!
When violence is categorized accurately, this unequivocally true.
You know who the bad guys are, because they’re the ones who want censorship of free speech.
🇨🇦 We NEED a bit of the U.S.'s common sense.
Yes, my family has spent a lifetime acquiring property, .... it is the "INCENTIVE" to daily productivity*!
Many Canadian ills are directly attributable to "what's the use of being honest and hard-working?"
We’ve added another special guest speaker to the line up for today’s rally in Waterloo Region …
@PierrePoilievre will be standing with law abiding Canadians today to oppose this disastrous policy!!
Let’s gooooo 🇨🇦💪🏻
