The way you think about AI determines how you use it, trust it, and understand when it fails. The encyclopedia model most people carry is the wrong one. 🧵

[Tamara Kronis 🇨🇦 @KronisTamara]

Dear generation screwed, if you were waiting for prices to drop before buying a house, the Liberal government is bailing out developers and bidding against you, so that you can be a renter instead.

[Steve Hutchinson @BigPinesDotNet]

This account was supposed to be my tech only account.

Recent developments in Canadian politics have caused me to speak out here.

The laws being passed in Canada may very well make this post illegal in the future.

@STONE_CELL_AI @JCCFCanada @Shopify @tobi @signalapp My tinfoil hat is made of Canadian Aluminum!

[Steve Hutchinson @BigPinesDotNet]

@STONE_CELL_AI @JCCFCanada @Shopify @tobi @signalapp I’ve long predicted the fight between the USA and China over our resources. It’s one case where I really hope I’m wrong.

[Steve Hutchinson @BigPinesDotNet]

Although electronic petitions are often not effective, getting the valid ones on the record is important.

Even if this is just a marketing initiative by the JCCF, documenting the opposition to these laws is important, regardless of the futility.

It’s important that others see they are not alone, regardless of the propaganda.

[Steve Hutchinson @BigPinesDotNet]

@OmniG7 @JCCFCanada Anonymous petitions are worthless, that’s why.

Name, Email and postal code are far less information than the government and my current mp already have.

I’m happy to sign.

[Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms @JCCFCanada]

Thousands of Canadians have already spoken out. The Justice Centre is encouraging Canadians to take action by using our online tool to send a pre-written letter to their Member of Parliament and Prime Minister Mark Carney opposing Bill C-34, the federal government’s proposed Safe Social Media Act.

@YonovFilip I think bastard is a new technical term 🤣

[Filip Yonov @YonovFilip]

Claude SIGKILLed a Codex and called it “that bastard.”

So much for “AI should be good for the world”

Competition is competition.

Canadian startups should DM me for more details.

Vibecoding gets you an app in an afternoon. Making it real usually takes the rest of the week.

Aiven MCP changes that. Connect your AI assistant to Aiven and go from prompt to production right in the conversation. Ask for a PostgreSQL® database, an Apache Kafka® topic, a connection between them, then deploy the whole thing with Aiven Apps. No dashboards, no config, no jumping between tools.

It's in Early Access today. Come build with us: https://t.co/F4i8IhvbQn

This isn’t supposed to be happening. It feels like our entire government, as well as those who are supposed to keep them in check are compromised.

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Public Safety Minister @gary_srp committed to amendments to Bill C-22 in light of concerns about security risks, encryption and metadata retention. Instead, the government is shutting down the hearing with no further debate on changes to lawful access.

@elonmusk There has to be a point where we stand up and say enough is enough.

When the government is willing to ignore its own constitution - and gaslight its citizens - it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

I’d protest, but it’s only legal to protest foreign governments here.

[Globalnews.ca @globalnews]

A privacy expert told Global News the Liberals' push to fast-track the bill and limit debate was "staggering" and "astonishing."

@gary_srp stop C-22 now.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

In Canada, Bill C-22 will give our government back door access into all our devices and requires carriers to store user data for up to "a year."

Sam Cooper tells us why the Carney Liberal surveillance legislation is bad for everyone—tech companies, Liberals and Canadians.

Full episode premieres everywhere tomorrow, June 17th.

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Dear Canada,

If you care at all about freedom of speech or privacy, or worry about Orwellian government overreach, it’s time to write to your MP. https://t.co/prtjfDlY1M

I'm hoping it’s slightly more effective than complaining on Twitter.

You have a voice, use it.

[Brock Crocker @CrockerBrock]

We may be polite to your face, but Canadians aren't the "nice" people we pretend to be.

America is a great nation filled with wonderful neighbours and people. How does a country that icons Wayne Gretzky sink to this? Legit mental health epidemic, Liberal damage on steroids—Trump as their only platform while Canada declines and their grip tightens.

Zero to be proud of here. Time to grow up 🇨🇦
