Canada's new AI strategy, AI for All, aims to grow the AI economy and position Canada as a global leader. People don't want more AI. They want AI they can trust. Take two minutes to tell your MP what accountable AI should look like. actionnetwork.org/letters/ai-f...

AI is already part of your day. The call centre. The job application. The classroom. The government service. Canada's new AI strategy says it's for everyone. Worth checking. Two minutes to tell your MP what accountable AI should look like. actionnetwork.org/letters/ai-f...

Evidence for Democracy @e4dca.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Canada's AI strategy says it's for everyone. We think that's worth proving. AI is already part of hiring, schools, banking, and government services, often without much transparency. Send a letter to your MP and help shape what accountable AI should look like. actionnetwork.org/letters/ai-f...

Canada wants to fast-track major project approvals: one-year decisions, combined consultations, pre-approved zones. Faster isn't better if it means less transparency. Feedback is open until July 22. We made a guide to help you weigh in: evidencefordemocracy.ca/the-federal-...

Navigating AI within government requires new skills and ways of thinking. In this clip, we explore how public servants are building the expertise needed to work with AI, and how they adapt within existing systems and constraints.

What happens when misinformation is challenged? In this clip from our panel on misinformation in Canada, experts discuss how attempts to debunk misinformation can sometimes make people more entrenched in their beliefs. As polarization grows, convincing people to reconsider information becomes hard

Public skepticism around the government’s use of AI reflects important questions about effectiveness, oversight, and whether these systems are truly improving decision-making.

Evidence for Democracy @e4dca.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Using AI isn’t always the right solution. In this clip, panellists reflect on the importance of asking whether AI is actually useful for the problem at hand, rather than assuming it should be used. This means considering the context, the goals, and whether other approaches may be more effective.

Why are we talking about AI and democracy? In this clip, we explore why artificial intelligence is no longer just a technical issue, but a democratic one. From shaping how information is created and shared to influencing public trust and decision-making, AI is already affecting our democracy.

Public interest research shows that Canadians want to see stronger regulation of AI, yet meaningful action has been slow. Thank you to our panellists, Beatrice Wayne, Helen Hayes, Renée Siebe, and Kimberley Kargus for sharing their insights.
