Rumours that the UCP will invoke the notwithstanding clause … over bike lanes.

I hope it’s clear now to everyone that to the UCP the notwithstanding clause is their “I get what I want anyway” magic wand and that this means we no longer live in a functioning constitutional democracy.

Hearing the UCP is going to introduce anti-bikelane legislation on Monday.

You just know they've been holding on to that one for when they really needed to rally the troops and distract from a truly egregious scandal.

I guess their connections to the Centurion Project and the voter registration leak must actually be pretty serious for them.

Smith blames the NDP for not telling her about the data breach.

Every day is worse than the next.

600 people had access to the database.

Mitch Sylvestre, a leader of the separatist movement, is a UCP riding association president.

How is this even possible?

"In analyzing both public and proprietary data about data centers as a whole, as well as the specific needs of AI, the researchers came to a clear conclusion. Data centers in the US used somewhere around 200 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024, roughly what it takes to power Thailand for a year."

"AI-specific servers in these data centers are estimated to have used between 53 and 76 terawatt-hours of electricity. On the high end, this is enough to power more than 7.2 million US homes for a year."

"We heard from several other researchers who say that their ability to understand the emissions and energy demands of AI are hampered by the fact that AI is not yet treated as its own sector.

"The US Energy Information Administration, for example, makes projections and measurements for manufacturing, mining, construction, and agriculture, but detailed data about AI is simply nonexistent."

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.
