I am glad he has corrected himself, and now he must not repeat the mistake.

How would you describe AI ?
Another "smart phone moment" ie we had no idea the damage it would cause to humanity till it was too late?
Or the chance to make the world a better place with scientific advances and freedom from monotony?

This is just a friendly reminder that Bill C2 is being sold to you as something to protect you, but if you read the fine print allows the Canadian government to reappropriate Indigenous land, ignore environmental laws and jail anyone who might try to stand in their way. If this goes through, Canadians are basically living in a police state that can be turned on at any moment they decide. Please write your MP. All you have to do is search Bill C2 write your MP.
And C5 while you are at it! They are basically a packaged set for fascism.
Since election day, the number of Canadians preferring #MarkCarney as PM has gone up, and support for the Liberals has increased by about 0.5% ; support for the Conservatives has declined by 9%; the NDP have gained 5%.
In other polling news, "Earlier this month, a survey by Abacus Data found that Poilievre still retained an 80 per cent approval rating among respondents who identified as Conservatives."

@Paulatics Bravo!
Whether one is for or against [0], this is precisely the sort of situation in which the Senate ought to study the bill and not necessarily assent.
[0] For what it's worth, I oppose this bill.
So many people can only imagine the solution to a genocidal fascist is to put them in prison. As if prisons arenât run by the same type of people.
âICE agents are criminals and should be in jail!â - As if they wouldnât just be in another building with their pals in uniform.
â[some US politician] is a traitor and doesnât represent American values!â - As if the US wasnât founded on patriarchal values that promote genocide, slavery, racism and misogyny.
Somehow people still cling onto nationalism and patriotism when discussing global issues. They still wave that flag even when wars are waged across borders.
Canadians might think theyâre better than USians but fires burn, winds destroy, and waters flood or dry up beyond borders. Canada still participates and promotes war.
Shoving people behind bars until they can pay their way out is just participating in the same system of oppression.
I might not know the solution but surely we canât continue to use the same tools of oppression to stop the oppressors.

It was a terrible mistake by #JustinTrudeau not to support the export of Canadian natural gas to Europe.
For the curious, this article presents four different potential locations for shipping out the natural gas:
a) St John
b) Saguenay
c) Thunder Bay through the St Lawrence Seaway
d) Hudson Bay
If anything, the average Canadian could be taking 10 minutes a day to stay on top of the current bill proposals and sending an email to your MPs. Consider this a daily meditation practice of your basic civil rights, because without exercising them, you will be losing them quickly.
I don't care how tired or busy you feel. Everyone is exhausted and busy-- It a basic tenet of capitalism and part of why they believe they can quickly push these bills through.
Do this, not just for yourself, but for future generations who will bear the weight of these heavy political shifts.

(Mr. Koch is a Montrealer, for what it's worth. I haven't met him, though probably I will at some point.)
No, you don't go to the #NationalPost for columnists who purport to write neutral judgements sub specie aeternitatis; they print people with a pro-Tory point of view. But that doesn't mean that the arguments of Mr. Koch in this column are unsound.
Canadians should be deeply aware and writing a shit ton of letters to their MPs regarding bill C-2 / the CLOUD agreement right now. If you don't want to be entrenched in the fascism sweeping south of the border you will fight this bill with your life.
Not only for Canadians, but for Americans and other refugees seeking safety and asylum. Do not allow Carney to turn Canada into a police surveillance state.
There are currently a load of bills being tabled to strip you of your rights and privacy. You need to act before this becomes reality. This is the work you are required to do when we say now is the time when voting is simply not enough.
*Gasp*
Elect a Centrist to defeat a fascist and then get the Fascism slowly snuck in while nobody is looking
None of these men will ACTUALLY stand up to Trump, they're inherent cowards, that's Centrism "screw everybody else, I've got mine"
"Mark Carney presented himself as a principled adversary to Donald Trump, a steward of Canadian sovereignty who would stand up to a dangerous and unpredictable United States. And now, just months into his premiership, he insists âthe G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership,â his government has resisted retaliating against American tariffs, and has even expressed desire to join Trumpâs Golden Dome missile defence program."
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/anthony-koch-at-g7-carney-has-his-elbows-way-down-for-trump
Why are we allowing Trump, a convicted felon, into Canada? Like legally speaking how did he cross the border?
@CanadianPolling
Maybe #MarkCarney will become UK PM after he's finished a mandate in Canada.
#MattGurney is optimistic about the new plans for increased defence spending:
"Iâve had a chance to actually look at some of the details of what was announced today for Canadaâs defence. Overall, I am very supportive of everything thatâs been announced. There are some caveats. Or at least notes."
For more, see https://x.com/mattgurney/status/1932159007244050721
Bet you in six months (maybe even less) Carney will be as popular in Canada as Keir Starmer is now in the UK.
These Centrist males are all the same, they are not fighting Fascism, they are merely delaying it.
Carney, Starmer.....these men are Bidens and will have the same result for their nations.
#Politics #Centrism #Fascism #CanPol #CDNPoli #UKpol #UKPolitics #Politics
Every time a Centrist is elected to stop a fascist they turn on the Borrowed Vote and go all fash anyway
Canada, UK, .....it's Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy's football and each time Centrist Lucy takes the ball away and tells Charlie "it's the pragmatic choice, you don't understand you silly boy"
