Emily Lowan (she/her)When we ask the government to stand up to corporations, we shouldn’t be worried that they’ve got a profit motive to look the other way. But that’s exactly what the BC NDP is allowing. Meet your AI minister, Rick Glumac.
nigelsezyarr@emilylowan We have an AI minister? What does he even do? Ugh.
Chris Routh (He/Him)@emilylowan We need a petition against this entire motion. I do not want my tax dollars going to this guys salary or AI at all. I'm tempted to calculate the percentage Eby's government is wasting on AI and withhold that from this years taxes.
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@emilylowan I didn't know this chair existed until earlier today when I walked past the Leg on the way to the museum. Such a strange coincidence.
Also, we don't need an AI minister. We need a tax-the-billionaires minister, and a protect-british-columbians-from-foreign-interference minister, and maybe a pivot-away-from-resource-extraction-toward-higher-profit-activities minister.
@emilylowan (if the "AI Minister" role is intended to handle that last item in my list, then I think it's very poorly named.)

It would have been very relevant to mention that Rick Glumac's total investment in the AIQ ETF was only $4,000.
