1/ A city government just built an #AI model that outperformed the biggest labs in the world. Not the US. Not China. Rio de Janeiro's IT department. ...and Canada has no excuse not to do the same. 🧵

Canada needs to start making their own #AI models and we are fully capable of doing so. We have the research- Mila, Vector, Amii. But we're dependent on 2 layers of foreign control: US hyperscalers own the infrastructure in Canada, and US companies own the models too. #CanadaSky

🧵 Psychedelics for mental health came about partly because the major drug companies ALL stopped researching mental health/cns drugs. Notice how there really hasn't been any major breakthroughs since SSRIs in the late 80s/early 90s? #cdnpoli #drugsky

I believe in harm reduction. I also believe that any organization given exclusive authority to evaluate its own work produces compromised research. That's not a political argument it's a basic research ethics standard. #DrugSky My piece in Times Colonist: www.timescolonist.com/opinion/comm...

Comment: When it comes to addiction research, who is conducting it matters
British Columbia’s ­overdose response was dominated for years by a single research infrastructure. That needs to change.

Canada's safer supply rollout was built on the option (oral hydromorphone) the SALOME trial "cancelled for futility." What does that mean? It was stopped early because interim data showed it was highly unlikely to prove it works. Why did we scale up the option that we already knew was a failure?

A ‘jaw-dropper’ poll showed surging support for an Alberta separatist party. Turns out the polling firm and the party weren’t so separate
The Alberta Republican Party leader previously had an ownership stake in the same polling company that reported support for his new party was surging.
