The #Conservative Party of #Canada published an #AI generated ad about #poverty and #recession, despite the AI industry being both one of the leading drivers of #unemployment and one of the leading drivers of #inflation and increasing costs of living.
“The medium is the message,” as McLuhan wrote. The use of a poverty-generating technology to produce the ad reveals the real message: The CPC is pro-mass-layoffs, pro-cropland-displacement, pro-electricity-inflation, pro-drought, and pro-impoverishment. Their pretence of concern about working Canadians' economic conditions is a manipulative and exploitative lie. Their hypocrisy is ripe.
The Liberals are conservative (hence #Carney enacting #neoliberalism), and the Conservatives are fascist.

The article below reminds of a time when I was walking along Queen St. in Toronto and saw a black driver get pulled over. It was clear from the look on the driver's face that he felt this was harassment, so I stood there on the sidewalk and watched. The cop looks at me and I give him my best "if this is a case of driving while black, I am gonna bust your ass" look. Cop takes the driver's info back to the car and sits there for a good ten minutes. I use the opportunity to take pictures. Cop brings the info back, glares at me, I glare back, he returns to vehicle. Driver nods a thank-you and pulls out. Not in my fucking town, you don't, not if I can stop it.
Montreal mayor says husband, who is Black, was stopped last year 'at least 5 or 6 times — for nothing' https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/public-inquiry-racism-premier-quebec-9.7241360?cmp=rss #cbc #topstories #news #canada

Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada says a moratorium on police checks would be a “good first step” in helping address allegations of racism within the city’s police service. In an interview on Radio-Canada’s Tout un Matin, the mayor said her husband, who is Black, has been stopped “at least five or six times — for nothing” in the past year.
@the5thColumnist CBC should just boost their coverage of PWHL (they already cover their games). They wouldn't even have to change the name - still "Hockey Night in Canada".
