"Expressing profound concern" while continuing to export weapons, provide political cover, send funds, allow Israeli war criminals free reign in Canada and keep up favourable trade status for Israeli goods and services even from the occupied territories.
Compelling essay by sci-fi writer Ted Chiang on why LLMs are nowhere near consciousness, but why it serves the interests of LLM companies to constantly suggest that they might be.
I've pulled one quote below, but the whole article is worth reading.
Absolutely horrific.

Can we stop giving them $4 million PER DAY of our tax dollars @oliviachow?

Tatiana Maslany speaks out for Palestine while promoting her Apple TV show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed
“There is no ceasefire in Gaza. Israel is continuing to bombard it. The US & Canada & the UK are all complicit. We have to keep remembering Palestine.”
Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.
Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.
Israel killed Rahma, a Sri Lankan foreign worker, in an airstrike on Habboush in South Lebanon after she chose to remain behind to care for abandoned animals. In a previous voice message, she explained: "I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid for the animals."
■ "I hope Israel strikes me and my animals. If we are killed, then let it be together. I'm not afraid of death; I'm afraid for the animals. God created me as He created them, yet out of fear for your own lives, you left them behind,” Rahma said.
⭕️ The Israeli military is now claiming that Gaza student Mahmoud al-Najjar, who was detained while attempting to leave for university studies in Italy, is a Hamas operative who participated in the October 7 attack.
The allegation was made by Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Ariella Mazar on X. As of publication, Israel has not publicly provided any evidence to support the claim.
Al-Najjar’s family says he had secured permission to leave Gaza after months of effort and was traveling to attend Tor Vergata University in Rome. He is also the sole survivor of his immediate family after an Israeli airstrike killed his wife, four children, and other relatives in October 2024.
Ko Tinmaung, Rohingya Toronto based humanitarian, arrived at Toronto Airport last night after being kidnapped and tortured by the IOF for trying to bring aid to Gaza.
He was detained by @PeelPolice and not allowed to see his friends or parents who were waiting for him.
Ko was forced into a police vehicle and driven to a masjid in the middle of the night.
For comparison, just last week, Ontario welcomed weapons companies like Elbit and IAI – directly involved in genocide – with open arms.
I keep thinking about this photo taken yesterday.
Prime Minister of Canada, @MarkJCarney, stands in front of an Israeli flag speaking about how hate against any group of peoples is wrong. While, the International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid and illegal occupation in the West Bank and genocide in Gaza against Palestinians. This is hate and discrimination translated into systematic legal injustice and mass death and slaughter.
There is an obligation for Canada as a third party state to not be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity and violations of international law.
Standing in front of a flag of a state committing apartheid and genocide, while still sending weapons to Israel to commit these crimes, should demonstrate to all humanity and peace loving people in Canada to seriously question our politicians and confront this current reality for what it truly is.
Canada is deeply committed and embedded in the structural oppression against Palestinians, entrenching the systematic colonial rule of Western settler colonial states in a world where the rich and powerful can choose to continue to break all the international laws and obligations because they know consequences are beneath them.
I know so many good and decent people who refuse such a world and reality where impunity is enjoyed by the war criminals. Rather we fight for a world where human rights for all is defended without exception. Where our obligations to international law and the global community actually means something.
I keep telling all the communists this: you guys wanna talk theory to people while their eyes glaze over. Gets you nowhere. Your best pitch: show them this video and then explain that if you get your way, you’ll have her and everyone like her picking fruit for ten years before assigning them to a waste treatment plant. That one’s free.
He tells immigrants to leave their trauma behind as though it isn't Canada's involvement in wars and resource extraction what're the reason many people are forced to immigrate, to then come here and experience that special brand of Canadian racism, hubris, and economic struggle.
"Don't bring your ideologies here" says Zionist sociopath; descendant of English settler colonialism to Canada, and son of a family that directly participated in the genocide of Indigenous children and the Residential School system.
Lol, honestly, go fuck yourself, @MarkJCarney
