apparently Cohere is blocking anyone saying they worked with Palantir so:
okay but he literally says “…what [cohere]’s already deploying to Palantir customers”

Canadians are financing Peter Thiel to surveil us.
Canadians will own a stake in Cohere’s world-leading secure AI.  An investment for Canadians, by Canadians.

this govt sucks bro, a billion dollars for an AI company but not a cent for pharmacare or dentalcare or high speed rail. I hate these people

I’m blocked by Palantir’s Canadian arm Cohere. These bastards are developing the AI to decide whether you're a terrorist & block your bank account. And the kicker is, you're paying for it! Another gift from Prime Minister Brookfield Asset Management.

The NDP requested an emergency debate in Parliament over the plan to open up Canada's four largest airports to private investment. The speaker said no. Cool.

we are a nation of literal baby brain thinkers who cannot think about anything except what is immediately in front of our faces it is so obvious that total public ownership of essential infrastructure is the better economic and social option
Avi Lewis: "The 407 in Ontario privatized under Mike Harris in the 90s. The government made about a billion and a half dollars first sold it, that asset is worth $40 billion now, and they've had decades of profits. Oh, and it's another 70 years left in the long-term lease."

Vancouver’s airport - YVR - is already considered world class and contracts to manage other airports. It is admired, efficient and there have been no calls from anyone to privatize its operations. Carney’s Liberals moving to privatize are acting out of pure corporate ideology.

Lots of talk about private investment, not much discussion in how this makes things more affordable, and society more livable, for the average Canadian (because it doesn't)
Mark Carney: "So across a range, really the globe, we are finding that countries want to do more business with Canada, they want our investment, they want to invest in Canada."

La privatisation des aéroports est une très mauvaise affaire pour les voyageurs, les travailleurs et les finances publiques. Partout dans le monde, elle a entraîné une hausse des frais de service, une diminution du nombre d’emplois et une détérioration des conditions de travail. Les barons du capital privé et les gestionnaires de fonds en raffolent! Une fois en place, ils détiennent une part d’un monopole naturel et impriment de l’argent pendant des décennies. C'est une erreur qu'on doit éviter. L’alternative à la privatisation de nos aéroports, c’est de NE PAS LE FAIRE.

Mark Carney is the Margaret Thatcher of Canada
Mark Carney announces Canada is willing to let private companies run airports in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal “The Government of Canada will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, but we will unlock their true value, by bringing in new capital and expertise into their operations and growth. We will reinvest the tens of billions of dollars of capital we raise into the infrastructure that Canada needs for the next generation. Canadian pension funds already invest successfully in many airports around the world. It is time to bring that same expertise home to more directly benefit all Canadians.” #cdnpoli

interesting how politicians across the political divide can unite to get behind AI data centres but never stuff like affordable housing, childcare, or wealth taxes that would benefit average people
Former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chrétien join PM Mark Carney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on stage following the announcement of a historic investment in Canadian data sovereignty.

Yep. Canadians signed on to fight Trump and increase our security and sovereignty by reducing our dependence on an increasingly erratic and dangerous America. But we did NOT agree to sell off our economy to billionaires, tech broligarchs and shadowy private equity firms!
Canadian PM Mark Carney sees the fight with Trump as his opportunity to do a shock doctrine for Canada, selling it off to private equity with moves that would otherwise be unpopular.

TLDR: If you steal a 3 dollar sandwich, you get arrested. But if you steal every bit of art, writing and music on earth, you get declared “too big to fail” and are allowed to write the laws now
