Like a warning on every pack of cigarettes, a warning label should be displayed every time a person opens an #AI agent, โ ๏ธ Before You Ask the Machine Artificial Intelligence doesnโt hand you โthe truth.โ It hands you your truth, sharpened and polished by your own biases.
The U.S. is spending billions of dollars in a rush to beat China to the next evolutionary leap in artificial intelligence. China is running a different race.
An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify ICE agents beneath their masks โ a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance. Can Washington do anything about it?
The CFIA was the one who did the investigation for the others, so it seems like a good place but I'm sure the Better Business Bureau would work well also.
No repercussions for "maple washing" = big grocers will continue to misrepresent US-sourced foods as Canadian When you find maple washing, resist buying if you can and please report to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency: inspection.canada.ca/en/food-safe... #ElbowsUp ca.yahoo.com/finance/news...
Unfortunately I am starting to feel the same about the US because they are so close and they are now under a dictatorship that wants to annex Canada. IMO that is why Carney increased our defense budget so much. He knows things that we (including no-clearance-PP) don't.
Approval of Mark Carney increases to 68%

AI in the education industry can't be avoided. Some of it is good, but lots of it is bad for the students. We need to start talking now to guide the students otherwise they will take it upon themselves.
Way to go UK universities! Smart thinking.
Can't have people with critical thinking skills ruining Trump's plans.

So smart!
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsโ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Not sure, does this look photoshopped to you? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Release the Epstein files.
Theological malpractice : when you pray for something you have the power to change. In other words : Your God isn't your servant there to do your work for you. Gun control is the answer.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
I was looking up the French word for stove (not the oven part) because a k-drama is talking in French and has chosen words I don't know... And discovered this fun website pour les enfants canadiens: guide-alimentaire.canada.ca/fr/activites... Think I'll expand my vocabulary!
Oh that little face is so adorable!
Tbh, I don't know why as Liberals we care so much about keeping the CBC on air. Honestly they are just there to promote the Cons.
Because he hasn't been seen by media in 3 days. He loves being on camera and hearing himself talk, so that is strange. But who knows. I am enjoying the break whste has happened.

Only if they voted for Kamala. I suspect that many of these workers support the orange one who has been missing for 2 days.
Lol, that could be.
How is that even possible? Wow!
Yes a million times to this. My kids know better. But some of their friends do this and it drives me crazy. I have to leave the room.
We care about Jack Daniel's sales drop as much as he cared when Trump announced he wanted to annex Canada. #sorrynotsorry #fafo #boycott #elbowsup

This is getting scarier every day.
I saw a documentary about a decade ago that stated that everything that happens in the US politically happens in Canada within 4-5 years.
All of the countries in the list below have people with mental health issues. I can tell you that in Canada, it is even very difficult to get mental health treatment. It's the guns.
Are we no longer talking about the EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES?
It is one of the books banned due to explicit content
That would have made more sense, unfortunately.
Sneaky and clever! I like it!
Flowers in the Attic .... that was my very first series. I was mesmerized by the stories.
You nailed it!
You know what is obscene? Banning books while advocating for โfreedomโ. You know what is even more obscene? Banning books while advocating for โfreedomโ and then being convicted of possessing kiddie porn.
Thanks for the suggestion. It is on my list.
Hereโs a replacement for banned Handmaids tale. The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk. Some great solutions for California ๐คซ
Anywhere but Alberta and Saskatchewan, you should be good.
I wish that statement wasn't so factual, but here we are.
Many of us, maybe even most of us, would love that.
Canada in general is not, but we have our bad apples too, just not as large a proportion as in the US (thank goodness, so far anyway!) Our Conservative party is currently a very far right wing, but luckily they did not win thanks to Liberal Carney. But we have to keep our Maple MAGA at bay.
Look at China's lead! I bet they have been laughing at the Republicans and Cdn Cons being so oil-focused while they were doing the right thing with regards to generating renewable power.
That would be a good thing.
Really? I haven't. But Canadians are together more than ever and we made a pretty good decision with Carney and we are proud that we pushed our far right guy aside at least for the next few years. We have bad actors here too. They get their info from Republican-owned media mostly, unfortunately.
๐ฏ I so hope Carney is working on this.
Without the warm weather all year round.
MAGA needs to understand how substantial this is.
She is usually outspoken. We'll eventually hear something from her, and like you, I look forward to it.
So if there was an insurrection right now and somebody tried to break into the same spot that she did, they'll be hailed as a hero and welcomed with open arms, right? The USA is telling the world who they are, we should believe them. And I am sorry for the blue dots.
I hope so, but one of their cities just voted back Poilievre, so .... But I'm hoping some will wake up.
It sure isn't easy with all the lies they are fed by our Republican-owned media and oil industry. It's a concentration of Maple MAGA folks.
And to top it off, +14.8% Export Growth to Non-US Markets in Q2 2025
CANADA - the US is here doing the same, just look at Alberta.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) โThe A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.โ
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isnโt recruiting heroes, itโs recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
Release the Epstein files! Release the Epstein files! This is yet another distraction to protect the pedophile leading the US into a downward spiral.
I see what you did there, and you might be right.
Very concerning!
Wow. My son read it as part of his grade 12 English class. I loved the book so I was thrilled about it.
A gaping hole in the middle, that would look awful.
And one of our greatest authors also!
'The Handmaid's Tale' among books to be removed from Edmonton Public Schools. Good ol' Alberta, copying the downspiral of the United States again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ofb...
Imagine tallying up every cent that has been paid to Poilievre since the day he started. And compare it to other recent prominent Canadian leaders. I think most of us would be shocked to see that number.
"We need to start creating a progressive media that people will listen to." Yes, yes, yes!
Good. People should be furious and not accept this.
So basically she's going to ignore it is what you're saying.
The US has had ample mass shooting events that should have been "enough to move people that we have to make some changes". I'm sorry to say, but I'm not hopeful anything is going to happen this time either. That doesn't mean not trying, but I'm not hopeful.
Banned" books, now banned vaccines. What a backwards country! This is insanity. I don't know what keeps sane Americans in the US anymore. I'd pack up my family and move to a tolerant and tolerable country. Sorry to say, but it's going to be like this for decades over there.
I think we are mostly in agreement. Either way, this was a tragic event, one that happens way too often.
Biblical or not, the word evil can be used for any mass shooting IMO. Gun access is the main cause. Other countries have mental illnesses also, but they don't have the mass shootings that the US have.

Way to go Australia! This is a great start.
Canadians said 'no' to Poilievre in April. He got back in via a guaranteed Conservative spot due to a small group of Maple MAGA Albertans. In general, Canadians dislike Poilievre very much.
8 and 10 years old ๐ This has to stop, and US leaders know how to stop it or at least greatly reduce it (gun control), but they won't do anything other than offer thoughts and prayers because of greed.
I think PM Carney said it all right here. I think he has Poilievre pretty much figured. #cdnpoli #neverPoilievre
We came so close though, such a scary thought. I am grateful Carney stepped up to the plate when he did.
Hahahha! Poilievre shit talks Mark Carney joint declaration with Germany on X and the German Ambassader hands him his ass on a platter. Canโt wait for Fridayโs OShow Scandal Panel! #CanadaSky ๐จ๐ฆ
Just a reminder ๐๐ผ
So Carneyโs finances are a scandal, but Poilievre refusing a security clearance is no big deal? Got it. ๐คก
Very good article and thread about open alternatives to google scholar, which clearly will go away when its founder retires. The @barcelonadori.bsky.social movement is getting a lot if attention and OpenAlex.org a lot of support. The Lens currently looking for new home about.lens.org/expressions-...
Worried about Google Scholar disappearing along with search? Follow @barcelonadori.bsky.social open research information movement.
Mine also.
This old cartoon is still one of the best.
"Ideal Can, a steel can maker based in Saint-Apollinaire, Que., is expanding its production capacity in Ontario next year, ... giving it a larger presence in a major food-processing region." Thank you Ideal Can! ๐๐ What other companies that moved to the US are now coming back to Canada? #ElbowsUp
More jobs, more independence and better prices for the manufacturer (and hopefully downstream for the consumers also). ๐๐
