OTTAWA – The Liberal government has given its new AI “task force” until the end of the month to fast-track changes to the national artificial intelligence strategy — a plan that critics say leans too much on the perspective of industry and the tech sector.

Not content with the defeat of her caucus' first bill, Dallas Brodie uses QP to call on BC to block parents from being able to choose gender affirming care for their kids

Attorney General Niki Sharma shut the question down, expressed disappointment that One BC is targeting vulnerable kids #bcpoli

The One BC caucus also plans to introduce a private members' bill titled, "Protecting Minors from Gender Transition Act"

With the new procedures for PMBs, this bill could see debate. However, there are about a dozen PMBs ahead of it in the queue, so to speak, and only 5 weeks of debate this session

🇨🇦U.S. politics is hard to look away from but we need to pay more attention up here.

We need to push back every chance we get on this hateful nonsense, before it becomes so much harder.

You can provide feedback to NS health here. Note: NS health still gives 1 free box of 5 rapid tests to people who request them. Jealous of that. This AI situation not so much. research-study.nshealth.ca/surveys/?s=3... #NSPoli

These are not "hallucinations" but programmed answers within the expected domain of use for this LLM, which means the people who programmed it are either inexcusably ignorant--most likely--or simply liars.

Medicine *ignores science when it is inconvenient to the powerful* and we have to stop that.

🇨🇦"This could have all been private land, and 42 years ago, it was. It could be covered in summer cottages with No Trespassing signs, but it’s not, because in 1983 it was set aside and protected."

Wow this community has had to fight hard to keep protecting the land from slimy capitalists.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

Holy F. NS health is using an AI chat bot called Nova and their recent Facebook post encourages people to ASK THE AI CHAT BOT about their SYMPTOMS. This is absolutely wild. www.yourhealthns.ca #nspoli

This is awful. Canadian healthcare is going to become unsafe (more so, some might say) if they start shoving AI everywhere.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

"Hundreds of civil society groups & the NDP have opposed most of the bill's new provisions and called for its withdrawal while the Conservatives & Bloc appeared open to the immigration changes."

🇨🇦"An analysis by the Justice Department concluded the bill could affect several rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms including the right to be secure against unreasonable search & seizure, and the right to liberty."

Well that all sounds bad.

This is dangerous rhetoric. Attempts to delegitimize opponents' right to take part in a conversation inevitably undermine respect on both sides.

It polarizes our politics, undermining trust in democracy, which depends on expressing disagreement.
