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.

Is a technical recession technically a problem for Mark Carney?
Technically, it is still only a "technical recession." But the greater significance of the moment is a matter of both economics and politics.
