@flugelfan101@christoaivalis Good thing Avi is fighting for full health care head to toe so maybe you can get your head checked. But for now just give your head a shake.
BREAKING: We now know the municipal/provincial and federal lobbyists behind the Billy Bishop airport expansion in Toronto is Nieuport Aviation, an asset among many, controlled by the IIG which was founded by JP Morgan. Yes, an AMERICAN bank is trying to destroy our waterfront.
Yesterday, I informed Premier Ford of my decision to resign from Cabinet and from my seat in the Ontario Legislature, effective June 5.
To Premier Ford, to the people of York-Simcoe, to Ontario’s Francophone community, to the York-Simcoe PC riding association, to my Caucus and Cabinet colleagues, to my constituency and ministerial teams, to the Ontario Public Service and my family – thank you.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Moments ago: Premier Ford won’t commit to paying taxpayers back the $200K spent on private jet fees, calling the controversy an “old story.”
He says he’s already saved taxpayers “millions of dollars” by flying commercial over the years & only charters flights “when needed.”
Liberals will say the left gets stuck in the 'politics of envy' because we find billionaires unacceptable
But then the libs go ahead and attack cleaners and transit workers for having the audacity to make decent money
BREAKING: Marit Stiles’ motion to ban the predatory practice of surveillance pricing in Ontario was voted down by Doug Ford’s government.
These are the faces of our elected officials who voted to side with corporations over working people. Remember them.
Doug Ford, days after being caught buying a $30M private jet on the taxpayers dime, didn’t even bother to show up for the vote.
Shameful.
The Manitoba NDP government passed a similar bill, the Saskatchewan NDP is proposing it, and Canada’s NDP proposed it before it was shut down by the Federal Liberals – and now the Ontario NDP’s motion was defeated.
It’s clear that the NDP is the only party fighting to make life more affordable for people.
More to come.
Other services like the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCMP, and every Police, Firefighting, & Paramedic service in the country didn’t make a profit either.
So why does @canadapostcorp always get this treatment from legacy media?
Despite pretty wide opposition from community groups and residents, the bubble bylaw has officially been passed at Ottawa City Council today with only 4 in opposition.
The bylaw bans any demonstration 50m within "vulnerable social infrastrucutre."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he’s been “inundated” by calls from people telling him to “keep the damn plane,” as the government looks to urgently sell the $28.9 million jet it quietly acquired last week.

Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump.
Those concessions got us nowhere.
Prime Minister Carney, now is not the time to concede further ground. Canada must show resolve in the face of Trump's bullying and stand up for workers, jobs, and Canadian industries.

@PottsPole@calciopundit@grok@avilewis As long as motions are put forward it's better that talking about could haves and should have outside of the house where the discussion really matters
@1800ghostman@JihanAbbas Actually the best demonstrated thing was that the NDP with no party status can push a motion so what is the excuse of other parties claiming to not be able to do anything if they don't have power.
Hey voters ,
If you find yourself saying "*blank* was the party in leadership what's * insert my party * supposed to do?"
The NDP lost party status and still put motions through. Don't believe them when they say "we weren't in power"
You all are being played.
Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root.
The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.
@calciopundit@avilewis You can tackle more than one issue. As for housing Avi has a whole platform on housing.
This comment is solely one issue. Let's refrain from attacking people especially off topic.
And especially since Avi just had a leadership race with a platform with housing policy in it.
