Happy Friday everyone.
I had AI generate selfies from important moments in Canadian history.
I use AI to raise interest in Canadian history by presenting it in a fun way.
1. Vikings arriving in Newfoundland in 1000 CE.

My AI thread yesterday was pretty white male centric. I wanted to fix that as it wasn't my intention.
Here are Indigenous, Black Canadian & women from our history doing selfie photos.
It isn't exact, but hope you enjoy it.
1. John Ware on a cattle drive into Alberta.

The tallest, deepest and more in Canada, a thread!
The tallest mountain in Canada is Mount Logan, which rises to 5,959 metres in the Yukon. It is named for Sir William Edmond Logan.
The mountain increases in size by .35 mm each year.

Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day means honoring the rich history and diversity of Indigenous communities, including those with disabilities. Let's strive to create a more inclusive and equitable society that values and respects the contributions of every individual.

Honourable Members @JustinTrudeau @PierrePoilievre @theJagmeetSingh @yfblanchet since Bill C-22 has all party support and knowing that persons with disabilities have been waiting for some time, what say we get Bill C-22 on the House's agenda this week so it can get Royal Assent.

We are asking for all-party support to fast track the final passage of Bill C-22. Same that was shown at previous votes on C-22. Please get this to the floor of @OurCommons for quick passage. We don't understand the delay. @BonitaZarrillo @TracyGrayKLC @morricemike @CQualtro 🫤

maybe you could state that alcohol and tobacco use accounts for $11.7B (or 87%) of the total amount because omitting that would be very misleading and rather harmful
$13.4 BILLION — That’s how much #SubstanceUse cost #healthcare in 2020. That includes:
• Hospitalizations, day surgeries, emergency department visits, paramedic services, specialized treatment, physician time & prescription drugs
