When Carney announced his campaign platform, it explicitly mentioned leveraging AI to find redundancies in the public service. I posted something like "Whoa, that's just DOGE by any other name!" and I got blocked by 50 people for being 'paranoid' and 'dramatic.' And look at us now! - ThreadSky

I don't think we'll be in same level of unhinged fervor like Musk, but it certainly isn't a good development. It's a precedent you don't like to see established.

I’m flashing back to when Rob and Doug Ford ordered a massive audit of Toronto to find the missing billions in Toronto’s budget. The audit found about enough to cover the cost of the audit. Or when Mike Harris promised billions in savings with amalgamation. Government runs capital L lean.

Curiously, the Ford brothers didn’t audit TPS, one of (the?) biggest line items in Toronto’s budget.

Yes! All this, 100%.

I didn't have a problem with that department in theory( besides the stupid name and who was running it). As someone who worked in government I had plenty of exposure to the waste/mismanagement. My problem with doge was the implementation and the viciousness of the cuts. Treat people with dignity.
