I have been completely impressed by how Carney has operated. He's got critics but I'm not one of them. I look at this and I say to myself, the richest country on earth per capita is Canada but it's all in the ground. Unfortunately, for the last decade, bad policy took it to the bottom of the G20 by every measurement. Carney is gonna change all that and he's got the population behind him.

Right now this tiff with the United States makes no sense long term. The largest consumer market on earth is the United States. The largest gathering of wealth that is going to be consumed by that consumer market is sitting in the ground, or in the water, or in the energy, or in the gas, in the oil, the uranium, in the potash of what Canada has. These two countries are going to get together 100%.

The sheer number of lies from President Trump about Canada – growing again today – is remarkable. Just some fact checks from the last 18 months:
- Trump falsely said today that Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising,” though it is 6.4% (under the Canadian method that adds about a percentage point) and has been declining for three months
- Trump falsely said today that Canada does 95% of its business with the US, though 72% of Canadian exports went to the US last year
- Trump falsely said today that high Canadian agricultural tariffs have caused the entire US trade deficit with Canada, though that deficit is overwhelmingly caused by US imports of cheap Canadian crude and though something like 97% of US ag exports to Canada are tariff-free
- Trump has falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports
- Trump has falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes
- Trump has falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in WTO global rankings
- Trump has falsely said Canada essentially doesn't have a military, though its military has fought with the US in multiple wars and its force size ranks in the upper half of NATO
- Trump has falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they hadn’t changed since Trump’s first presidency
- Trump has falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close
- Trump has falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though it doesn't and though more than a dozen US banks were operating in Canada at the time he spoke
- Trump has falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though that is fiction
- Trump has falsely said then-outgoing PM Trudeau was using their trade battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau obviously wasn’t running

Canada needs to investigate why Calgary-based Stampede Drilling Inc. has entered into a five-year agreement to supply a drilling rig, crews, and equipment to Texas-based Greenland Energy Company for an exploratory drilling program in the Jameson Land Basin of East Greenland.

the thing is, this doesn’t actually limit AI companies. They don’t care if they build the data centre in Alberta, or Texas, or Poland. As long as it has reliable internet and electricity, it doesn’t matter to them. Preventing its construction in your neighbourhood is peak NIMBY

[cd @cbddev]

this is just as dumb as florida banning lab-grown meat. bureaucracy for no benefit.

this will only serve to move data centres into southern states where water and energy access are worse for the climate. texas oil and colorado water are going to be displaced bc of this.

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

New York is the first state in the nation to enact a moratorium on data centers, pausing construction on new facilities for one year.

"I need safeguards in place to protect New Yorkers," Gov. Kathy Hochul said. https://t.co/4pVCiuM9cE

This is bad for Canada. Broadening access to gambling isn't progress. Our tech industry should aspire to more.

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.

Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:

"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."

He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.

His point is something most people are too afraid to say.

AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?

He also flagged something nobody is talking about.

AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.

"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."

And his final warning was the sharpest of all.

"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."

The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.

Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Friendly reminder that Microsoft has ~80 products or tools with the name “Copilot”.

Tey Bannerman counted them up: “there are now Copilots inside Copilots, Copilots for other Copilots, and a physical Copilot key on your keyboard for summoning them.”

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

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.”
