Carney's not been very bullish on "truth" imho.

4 What does the Carney government‘s inability to withstand pressure over a few panels at a conference tell us about its willingness to actually regulate US tech companies, or to pursue “digital sovereignty”? Does Mark Carney’s digital sovereignty include predatory and monopolistic US corporations?

It feels like Alberta's no more than 6 months away from "Oh, your partner's having trouble breathing? Well for the low price of $2000 we can dispatch an ambulance to you right away, or you can go to the back of the queue and we'll be there some time within the next 24 hours at no expense to you."

The Gripen/F-35 jet fighter issue is one in which, to coin a phrase, politics and the democratic will have to trump the generals and commodores. One doubts 🇨🇦Canadians will ever forgive a government or political party that buys more planes from the 🇺🇸Nazis. And I’m a Liberal. @mark-carney.bsky.social😠

Not that long ago (2018), governments and industry actually went through the motions of engaging arm's length academic experts and civil society to advise on tech issues. Remember the Facebook Oversight Board? Or, in Canada, Waterfront Toronto's Digital Strategy Advisory Panel?

Keep coming back to this. Government can support, nudge and remove barriers But if the private sector won’t put its own money in because it judges the demand isn’t there, why is government assuming that risk?

instead of trying to salvage dying ideologies (represented here by the Investment Canada Act), Canada needs new approaches for a new world. We need a national conversation about where Canada is, where it should be going, and how we should get there. The longer we delay, the greater the cost.

Canadian LNG is fairly pricey for the Asian mkts that it expects to provide energy for "decades". These markets will eventually find cheaper alternatives such as electrification sooner than this govt expects and then what? White Elephant Blues 😥
