You’re not hiding. You’re being watched. A brutal reality check on digital privacy.

“Nothing to hide” – said the species that shared baby pics, passwords, and their soul with an algorithm. A lesson in modern surrender.

This morning I heard the CBC reporting on a recent KPMG report on AI in post-secondary - it basically said 73% of ppl are using it and most of them find it’s harming their thinking skills, thus “ethical” AI skills should be taught better…

Ted McCormick @tedmccormick.bsky.social · 18h

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

When Danielle Smith threw roadblocks in front of Alberta solar projects she didn't do it for Albertans. She did it TO Albertans. She did it for fossil fuel interests. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…

Canadians are seeing what he's doing and are right to have trust issues. He's governing to the right of where Mulroney used to stand and undermining parliament and rights in C5 and C2, he's announced austerity on a crushing scale, and still more fossil fuel infrastructure. No one voted for this.

You obviously are not disabled, a senior, or a person living outside city limits who no longer drives. Nor are you on a limited income and living in a remote area where shipping costs by courier are outrages. It is absolutely an essential service!

Try thinking from outside your bubble.

I am more upset postal workers are forced to strike to preserve our essential service.

🇨🇦In #Canada, the narrative of multiculturalism can lean toward a “colour-blind” ideology; a comforting idea that race doesn’t matter and everyone is treated the same -even though such narratives mask persistent inequalities. #racism.

Payday loans are a scam and take advantage of the poorest Canadian citizens.

You should be ashamed of supporting and promoting such a vile financial predator!

What's next, ICE agents?

After reading BillC-2 I am not the least bit surprised.

The slow drift into our country becoming the 51 state is happening and Canadians are sleepwalking

They have 615 bases around the world in various counties.
Not discounting nuclear threat or their armed forces in Australia, but you are not sharing the longest unprotected border with a country of gun toting Maga lunatics who believe Trump's BS about our country.
