AI ethics hardly has anything to do with the use of AI anyway. It is about thinking critically who benefits from this technology, who structurally carries the burden, by whom it is built, from which ideologies and how this manifests in its harmful societal impact.

Opposition to AI Data Centers Is Actually a "Chinese Psyop," Mike Johnson Says
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) has dismissed popular concerns among the American public over Big Tech’s hastened buildout of data centers across the U.S. as nothing more than propaganda pushed by the Chinese government. In an interview on AI with Fox Business on Monday, Johnson was asked how he plans to fight back against Democrats seizing on opposition to data centers to attack Republicans in the midterm elections. “I’ve had several tech executives and lawmakers, to be clear, say that the information against data centers, that push back against data centers, that is coming from China,” said Fox host Cheryl Casone. “Yes,” replied Johnson. “Don’t buy it. It is a Chinese psyop.” “I really believe that. It’s not a conspiracy theory,” he went on. He then contradicted himself, claiming that “the community concerns are important” and that companies seeking to build a data center must “ensure the local community they’ll be good corporate partners.” Johnson’s comments ignore the massive, nonpartisan anti-data center movement that’s erupted in the past months. A mountain of polls and grassroots campaigns across the country this year have revealed a groundswell of opposition to tech companies’ massive buildout of data centers amid the explosion of AI...

"Doctors, nurses and other front-line workers gathered for a news conference at University Avenue and Gerrard Street to explain the risks of a lack of proper road infrastructure for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers — and to tell stories of those impacted by road violence." #BikeTO #ToPoli #OnPoli
Toronto family physician Samantha Green, who is also the co-founder of the provincial advocacy coalition Doctors for Safe Cycling, told CBC Toronto it’s clear the decision to remove bike lanes is "not based on evidence."\

"Bike lanes save lives," she said. "It's clear that the public, that the community here in Toronto wants to keep the bike lanes."
About 650 health-care workers have signed a letter calling on the province to back down on its plans, Doctors for Safe Cycling said in a news release Monday.

Canadians deserve a voice in our country's direction -- and no matter what the CEO of Canada Inc. believes, our voice wasn't a one-and-done in a polling booth on April 28, 2025. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
Carney has been keen to grab the lectern and discuss lofty issues — from Canada’s place in the world to the nature of global co-operation itself — at international forums such as the World Economic Forum and the European Parliament. But rather than merely address global policymakers and CEOs, he should talk to Canadians about these issues, too. Because the world can’t be changed by one man operating the machinery of one government: change comes from whole populations acting in common purpose.
