This is what the Canadian PM @mark-carney.bsky.social posts on the other site as Israel commits an act of piracy in complete violation of international law. As millions are being starved to death and children are being murdered for seeking food. Complete moral abdication.

Not mentioning how much 2% of the GDP actually means is a routine problem in reporting on this. They won’t present a spring budget, Carney promised trimming the public service and now we’re looking at, what, $50 billion poured into US-aligned militarism? What a joke

GREAT piece. "Green capitalism", presented as the alternative to fossil-fueled fascism, is the same thing but with the hard edges rounded off

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

Hey! This is just a reminder that people are allowed to criticize the current administration, and that includes harmful bills that are introduced. And yes, even if they voted for the same party that was elected. It’s called democracy. #canpoli #cdnpoli

Yes! The probabilistic nature of AI essentially creates a variable reward schedule which is naturally addictive. And as we all know tech companies will try and layer on more addictive properties. I have 100% fallen into the “just one prompt away” trap described here.

Somewhere there's a connection to be made between this strategy of desire-perpetuation (in everything from pay-to-win mobile games, to bitcoin hodling, to self-driving cars definitely being next year so buy my stock) and the dream world of friction-free immediacy novaramedia.com/2024/03/21/c...

If this doesn't worry you, please try reading this while pretending it's pp and the cpc proposing all of this. Please think of what happens if he comes into power after Carney. Demand better of the PM, talk to your MPs. You elected him to push back against this kind of trump style policy. #cdnpoli

This aggressive colonialism is what Carney is driving across the country. And soon your ability to object will be curtailed via the surveillance state Carney is building. I apologize for posting so much about this motherfucker, but things are about to get a lot worse very soon.

IDF veteran pitches White House on AI program that "scans the open web for radicalization," following the "Israeli model" of counterterrorism.

Yuck. Meta apps listen on localhost on Android so that tracking scripts can talk to apps, and Meta can monitor your browsing and tie it to identity. Why is that allowed? www.theregister.com/2025/06/03/m...

We could build vaccine production facilities, or wind farms, or build research institutes and poach US academics. But no, apparently we need to scorch the earth with pipelines and bombs? That isn't nation-building, it's world-destroying.

Reader, should you invest in fascism?

The purpose of all this supposed urgency is to prevent objection. The idea that Carney might be approving mega projects by the end of Monday’s meeting is so incredibly reckless.

Prediction - albeit one that I dearly hope doesn't come to pass: Carney's "projects of national importance" policies will end up classifying disruption as terrorism, leading to armed conflict with First Nations. 1/5
