Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 12/05/20263/ This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead. 215120
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 12/05/20264/ That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place. We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us. 619328
Michael Ledger-Lomas @michaelledgerlomas.bsky.social · 12/05/2026This is excellent, Mr Lewis. In addition to the concerns at the federal level you raise here, this announcement raises particular concerns about the well being of Vancouver residents - in which Vancouver's council majority has shown no apparent interest. 091

Joqatana @joqatana.bsky.social · 12/05/2026How about an immediate total stoppage of building data centers & turn the extant ones into housing. 050
Conor Curtis @conorcurtis.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Again, no doubt we need Canadian data off U.S. tech (a guide): disconnect.blog/getting-off-... But Gov. strategy appears less focused on that than on building AI computing: policyoptions.irpp.org/2026/04/carn... With much vagueness re environ./human impact: www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/06/n...disconnect.blogGetting off US tech: a guideI’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider. 0356
But Thou Mustelid @rewhan.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I've yet to be convinced there's even a regular use-case for this level of machine intelligence, much less a profitable one, considering all the high-profile misfires in the news; and that's before getting into the suspiciously circular financing of the AI Industry's build-out... 2142
