Mark Carney has already:

-scrapped consumer carbon tax
-scrapped oil/gas emissions cap
-cut $1.3B from environment Canada
-weakened industrial carbon pricing
-axed 2 billion trees program
-approved 1M barrels/day pipeline -weakened greenwashing laws

This isn't autism, it's supporting a genocide. You have an ugly heart and an ugly soul.

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."

Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."

They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.

It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."

Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.

That's when they found the loophole.

Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.

One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.

Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.

If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.

They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.

And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.

The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.

They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

If they're turning engineers into activists they have been doing unfathomable evil behind the scenes

Carney is in close, secret contact with the man who says poor Canadians shouldn't vote

MAGA Mark strikes again

.@TheGrindTO is being sued for defamation by a former IDF soldier.

The suit threatens to sink one of the only publications that has closely reported on the Palestine solidarity movement in Toronto.

Israel can do so.
Ban any gathering of 20+ people in the occupied territory, with no explanation (if Palestinians).

That's what apartheid looks like: different rights based on identity.

That's why Israel deserves isolation, and its leaders investigation and prosecution.

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

This is the third time in six months that Benjamin Netanyahu has flown through Canadian airspace.

Contrary to the GAC spokesperson’s claim, he does not have the freedom to make that decision. Foreign leaders are required to seek permission before doing so.

Netanyahu is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. As a member of the ICC, Canada has a duty to arrest him if he enters the country.

Has the government been knowingly shirking its responsibility and allowing a wanted war criminal to fly through our airspace? If he is flying through without permission, why not say so?

Allowing this to pass without consequence sets a dangerous precedent. Canadians deserve a clear answer.

ONTARIO, there're plans to build AI hyperscale datacenters in Scarborough, Mississauga, and Oakville, some of the most heavily populated cities. Tomorrow July 29th city hall meetings will be held for Scarb and Miss. Call your city councilors, mayors, and turn out for the rallies

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israel has no right to occupy Palestinian land (ICJ 2024). These soldiers are acting illegally, as part of a larger illegal endeavour.

That's why Israeli soldiers, leaders, settlers should be investigated- and if so warranted prosecuted - wherever they go.

No room for Genocide.

[Rob Gosse @RobGosse1]

Now the Billy Bishop expansion is not going to happen, let’s renew our fight to restore and reopen the real Ontario Science Centre.

Neighbourhoods outside the downtown core deserve cultural spaces that support learning and community.

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Canadians deserve better than being told we must choose between climate action and affordability.

The Green New Deal is a blueprint to tackle both: lower energy costs, reduced emissions and one million good-paying jobs across the country.

Join me and some incredible guests on July 30th to learn more about our plan and how we can fight for it together.

Imagine announcing you’re going fully digital and while the world still hates you for it, your platform goes down for hours… rendering all digital games useless 😭

Reminder that Toronto Police Services has a budget of $1.43 billion.

Almost one-fifth of property taxes go toward funding the police

[The Serfs (youtube.com/theserftimes) @theserfstv]

The excess profits could be used to build high speed electric trains and housing but instead they keep a few dudes rich

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Today’s decision is the result of a massive effort from the Ontario NDP, organizers on the ground, and the people of Toronto who said: No Jets TO.

It was collective power that made this issue impossible for the Carney government to ignore.

When we organize, we win!

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

no amount of beautiful photoshoots will convince the vast majority of people to adopt the pedo goggles. i’m sorry

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Bravo @MayorOliviaChow for taking action to protect Toronto residents from surveillance pricing.

It’s time to end this predatory practice before it becomes normalized - yet another daily digital injustice.

So far, the Carney government has promised vague action in the future, from a new agency that doesn’t even exist yet.

Instead, we need a national ban on surveillance pricing right now. That’s what Premier @WabKinew has done in Manitoba, what NDP premiers in waiting like @MaritStiles and @ChenderClaudia are fighting for, and what Mayor Chow is proposing.

Your personal data should be yours alone, not a commodity for Big Tech and Big Retail to mine, sell, and use to rip you off.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

It is encouraging to see a prominent municipal leader taking a firm stance against Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people. Canada's mayors must also be willing to consider all measures possible to hold war criminals accountable.

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Major and concerning development from the chaos of the AI arms race.

Last week, a company called Hugging Face (which hosts AI models and datasets) said it had been subject to a cyberattack. This was a completely new kind of attack. For the first time, an AI agent has executed an autonomous attack on another system.

Yesterday, OpenAI admitted that some of its models had escaped their sandbox and were responsible for the intrusion. This is a first (at least we hope it is!) and even OpenAI is calling it "an unprecedented cyber incident”.

These companies, and the tech oligarchs leading them, are completely out of control. The Carney government is committing a grave error by embracing corporate generative AI with no controls, regulation, or red lines whatsoever.

We need a data centre moratorium, and a transparent, national debate on the threats AI poses, immediately. This is terrifying stuff that needs sunlight and government regulation with maximum urgency.
