Carney's first-ever project designated as being in the “national interest" is...a crude oil pipeline. That means the oil pipeline can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments, and Indigenous consultation. It can also kill all of Vancouver's orcas. Here's what you need to know:

This needs to be exposed for what it is: A huge subsidy to the oil & gas sector, which is lighting the fuse on a huge carbon bomb that will lock us into fossil fuels and terrifying levels of warming. This project will make the world increasingly unsafe for our children. Full stop.

Carney tells us that among the criteria for a project being designated in the national interest, the major projects office considers whether the project “contributes to Canadas clean growth and climate goals.” And a BITUMEN PIPELINE PASSED THIS TEST? Then the test is bullshit.

Carney says this (Bill C-39) is a decisive moment for Canada, & he’s right: his government is deciding to remove decades-long environmental and labour protections to build more pipelines, bypass essential environmental protections, & sideline FPIC from Indigenous Peoples. 🧵 1/7

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.
