We're one of the most educated countries on earth. Talking down to us about this is certainly a choice. Also, given that knowledge of how AI works correlates with AI skepticism, I doubt a true 'education' program would have the effect they're looking for. #CNDPoli

While I expect Liberal partisans to continue arguing otherwise, it seems increasingly clear to me that the Carney government has abandoned Canada's climate goals. #CNDPoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I found parts of his speech eyeroll-inducing, but, then again, I'm not the intended audience. While I remain concerned about Poilievre's ability to rise to the moment generally, I think Wells basically gets it right here. #CNDPoli #ABLeg paulwells.substack.com/p/how-to-sav...

ADAMS: Avi Lewis deserves credit for forcing the conversation on AI and affordability

New Democrats have spent the last decade reacting to other parties’ frames. On AI and consumer data, Avi Lewis has begun setting one of his own.

I saw the exact opposite framing from the National Post this morning. I'm skeptical of, in essence, asking future residents to fund infrastructure upgrades in advance. But at least be clear on the extent to which these fees contribute to high prices. #CNDPoli globalnews.ca/news/1188875...
