In 6 months they will quietly roll it back because they were fucked by the Petrol Companies. The only winners being the already rich that will become richier

Now Carney is a banker so 1- he knows and it’s his goal Or 2- he’s wildly ~~conservatively~~ incompetent

Fucking CAQ (and their voters). They thought they can impose bullshit law without consequence

Some CPEs are now offering broken service because they cannot function anymore. Some éducatrices resign because of the hijab ban and now they cannot stay open past 16h.

Bien joué, champions/championnes

The only thing I found are recent, this is last year. They did it pretty silently, they didn’t want to look like morons

Yeah a cheque will do. Now with the tax cut the only winners are petrol heavy industries and anyway refineries will boost their price and put the blame on the liberals

Alberta did this, in less than a year they roled it back because it did nothing, turns out that petrol industries boost their price to match the price reduction.

Tax cut to people earning less than 100,000$ a year and investing in bus, metro and tram. That’s the only way

Which will be, hopefully, enough for the next DOJ to argue that this decision was politically motivated and bring back the charges 🤞

Time to nationalize their assets and look them with a big Canadian goodbye 🖕

It’s ok to ridicule them on their hypocrisy not on their sexual/gender preference

What a fucking shame that a judge stop the Sandy Hooks families to sell their infowar asset to the Onion

Fuck fucking fuck

 

I’m sure the separatists movement is really happy about this one.

 

My flight attendant friend just got a bad news, the arbitration give 100% reason to Air Canada.

Now they’re in a bind because if they choose to go all in in another strike their security clearance will be revoked.

What a shit show

 

These generous donations from people across the country demonstrate the widespread faith in our Conservative message of hope for a safer, more affordable Canada

Yeah I’m pretty sure they’re from the same family, the Kosch one

I don't usually keep the author's name in the suggested hed, but here I think he's recognizable enough that it adds value.

I am a science-fiction writer, which means that my job is to make up futuristic parables about our current techno-social arrangements to interrogate not just what a gadget does, but who it does it for, and who it does it to.

What I do not do is predict the future. No one can predict the future, which is a good thing, since if the future were predictable, that would mean we couldn’t change it.

Now, not everyone understands the distinction. They think science-fiction writers are oracles. Even some of my colleagues labor under the delusion that we can “see the future”.

Then there are science-fiction fans who believe that they are reading the future. A depressing number of those people appear to have become AI bros. These guys can’t shut up about the day that their spicy autocomplete machine will wake up and turn us all into paperclips has led many confused journalists and conference organizers to try to get me to comment on the future of AI.

That’s something I used to strenuously resist doing, because I wasted two years of my life explaining patiently and repeatedly why I thought crypto was stupid, and getting relentlessly bollocked by cryptocurrency cultists who at first insisted that I just didn’t understand crypto. And then, when I made it clear that I did understand crypto, they insisted that I must be a paid shill.

This is literally what happens when you argue with Scientologists, and life is just too short. That said, people would not stop asking – so I’m going to explain what I think about AI and how to be a good AI critic. By which I mean: “How to be a critic whose criticism inflicts maximum damage on the parts of AI that are doing the most harm.”
