Let's never forget who Little Lecce is, and who owns him.

He's currently out building a bunch of nuclear Ontario doesn't need, to power data centres for Amazon, OpenAI and the US military.

NO! This is exactly the most horrific response! Yes, Maduro was a corrupt, heinous dictator; however, the US had NO RIGHT (and zero Congressional approval) to do what it did. We need to take those “51st State” comments VERY seriously right now, NOT applaud or support America’s tyrant!

Twitter's Grok will now provide AI-generated nude photos of adolescent girls. If Canada's federal government does not remove itself from Twitter, that means they're fine with this.

Let's watch.

“This matters because xAI deliberately built Grok to be “less restricted” than competitors.” We need guardrails, and we need them NOW.
Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

“[USAID’s] destruction has already killed hundreds of thousands of people including more than 450,000 children. The competition is stiff, but qualifies as one of Trump’s most morally repugnant moves.”

On Tuesday, the Israeli government announced that it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza living through what Amnesty International and other groups labeled as a genocide.
Doctors Without Borders among dozens of aid groups Israel moves to shut down in Gaza
Allied nations condemned the decision, warning it could halt relief operations within weeks.

Why have China and the EU created AI regulations, but Canada hasn’t? And Denmark is enshrining an individual’s right to their voice and image, but Canada hasn’t even considered any of this? Time to put some pressure on our representatives!

The surge of #AI slop, deceptive synthetic videos and images flooding our feeds, is driven in large part by #AgenticAI Accounts:

Unlike other provinces, Ontario won’t let municipalities charge natural gas companies for access. That could change, as municipalities begin to push back. Our latest newsletter:

Alt Text: Doug Ford, currently under RCMP investigation, panders to his base by wearing an OPP sweatshirt while pretending to pack boxes at a food bank instead of improving rent control, increasing the minimum wage, building homes, increasing ODSP, or helping in any meaningful way at all really.

Over the last decade, Niagara Regional Police Service has consistently had moderate to low clearance rates compared with Ontario provincial averages, often clearing less than a third of total reported criminal incidents. This surprises and concerns me…
