👏 👍 Manitoba won't approve massive AI data centre proposed for south of Winnipeg: Kinew
"We've taken a look at this project. We've taken a look at AI more broadly — what's happening across North America — and these hyperscale data centres don't appear to be in the best interests of Manitobans," he told CBC Manitoba Information Radio host Marcy Markusa on Thursday.

🇨🇦 I wonder what Kinew thinks about this.
"New Privacy Rights in the Morning, Mandatory Metadata Retention in the Afternoon: How Bill C-22 Undercuts the AI Strategy Before It Launches"
The government unveils its long-awaited national AI strategy this morning. AI Minister Evan Solomon has made it clear that the strategy will emphasize trust, noting that Canadians will only embrace the technology if they are confident their privacy is protected and safeguards are in place against potential harms. The privacy assurances are likely to take the form of a new private-sector privacy bill that includes European-style rules, stronger penalties, and recognizing privacy as a fundamental right. The government has proposed as much before, adding fundamental-rights language to the Consumer Privacy Protection Act in Bill C-27 before that bill died on the order paper. But the government is, at the same time, pressuring the public safety committee to pass Bill C-22, whose mandatory metadata retention regime is the single largest privacy risk in Canada in years and one that comparable countries have already struck down as a violation of the fundamental right to privacy. The disconnect is dizzying: the government cannot claim privacy as a fundamental right in the morning and enact mandatory metadata retention that overrides it in the afternoon.
How to deal wirh AI data centres.
Prevent them.

Get up off your ass Canada. We thought Carney was going to help Canada.
Carney is here to protect the bankers and oil companies. A fake, a card trick.
