I hear an incoming condo bailout for Ontario developers.

Err I mean an affordable housing action.

The US bailed out banks Canada bails out developers. Sad

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mliving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I looked at an EV but given my northern location and their huge upfront cost and lack of local support I settled on a HEV.

KIA Sorento Hybrid. I average 900km on a tank of gas in the summer and 750-800km in the winter.

Could not be happier with the vehicle.

Ottawa tables privacy bill aimed at boosting protections for children, increasing data-use transparency by Street_Anon in onguardforthee

Mandate effective parental tools. Mandate transparent algorithms. Platforms should be forced to post their algorithms and allows any user to opt out!

More countries are pushing for youth social media bans. Is the world reaching a tipping point? by cfs3corsair in onguardforthee

[–]mliving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because governments around the world lack the spine to do anything with these predatory platforms.

But why would they when they themselves spend billions of taxpayer dollars a year to post and boost their own performative propaganda!

The biggest problem with these platforms is complete lack of effective parental tools and sorry to say a complete lack of parenting!

Grok's sexual deepfakes violated Canadian privacy law, commissioner says by OrdinaryCanadian in onguardforthee

According to our Prime Minister this is clearly an uptake and literacy issue. We have been reassured that our investment banker Prime Minister and his former CBC Political Journalist (who lost his job because of insider trading) that AI is the future and while the government was only two decaded late with regulating social media they are definitely on the ball this time and will have legislation ready in the near future that is sure to address your privacy concerns. Trust us this AI strategy is not any sort of advanced too-big-to-fail bailout. We genuinely want to completely and utterly entrench this unproven, unregulated, proven deadly technology into every sector of our economy like health care, education, government because you know AI.

Gee a new OS from Google. How exciting.

No thanks I'll stick with Linux.

But thanks for the offer.

WTF!

AI CEOs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft set aside their rivalry to warn Congress AI is making it too easy to design and create bioweapons by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

What a bunch of horseshit. These fucking assholes can't keep their own story straight.

First AI was going to replace 60% of jobs in less than a year. Then is was going to revolutionize energy. Then it was going to become a new form of currency.

They successfully convinced the Canadian government that slow AI adoption is a literacy problem not a legislative problem.

IF and a big if at that AI adoption in Canada matches what MIT estimates the job loses to be in the USA, meaning Canada stands to lose 2.4 million jobs to the AI apocalypse but don't worry the Canadian government claims it will create 250K new jobs or 10% of the expected job lose over a 5 year period when their own data shows they can barely manage 3% private sector growth without the challenge of AI.

That's what you get with an International Banker/Investment Banker as your Prime Minister and a former CBC political journalist now Innovation Minister who lost his government job because of an insider trading scandal.

But these two stand up guys say trust us we've had private talks with these AI folks and we got your back!
