Why is everyone so worried about the "threat from AI", which I firmly believe is just panic-hype to raise the AI companies' profile? We have a very real, existential, climate threat to deal with. Don't invent non-problems.

I don't understand much about the world, or how governments work. I'm also not where I expected to be in life. My only recourse is to form the Ontario Freedom movement, nuke Confederation with Canada, and parrot all of MAGA's greatest hits. Oh, and bonus points if my moron Premier is supportive.

The lie that privatization will reduce wait times is already being exposed, but that won’t stop political leaders from continuing to try to destroy our public healthcare system.

Harper, Alberta, and a weak-kneed Canadian media gaslit us so badly 10 years ago, that we just accepted the new "oil sands" label. I think its high time we start calling it what it is again "tar sands". There's nothing clean about it.

I have a suggestion for a healthy planet: stop entertaining conservatives and their bad ideas. No, we don't need to be respectful. No, we don't need to listen to them. They're full of stupid, bad ideas, and have been for as long as I've been alive. We should normalize ignoring them.
