Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus
Screenshot from Government of Canada website that reads: "Over 11,300 participants provided their thoughts and ideas during the 30-day online public consultation, which ran from October 1 to 31, 2025. We captured over 64,600 responses to 26 questions on the eight AI pillars identified for the purpose of the consultation.

The responses were analyzed using SimpleSurvey, which uses natural language processing algorithms to provide insights from open-ended questions by analyzing sentiments, keywords and topics. ISED also created an internal classification pipeline for analysis, incorporating Cohere Command A, OpenAI GPT-5 nano, Anthropic Claude Haiku and Google Gemini Flash to read through the submissions and identify common themes. Responses were also classified by question, pillar and sentiment. Human reviewers validated and refined the AI-generated analyses, ensuring accuracy and comprehensive representation of all perspectives. The same approach was used to analyze the Task Force reports. This innovative approach enabled thorough, unbiased reporting in record time—months faster than traditional methods—demonstrating a balance between efficient delivery and responsible, Canadian-centred AI adoption."

🟣 Jewish Voice for Peace on protests outside a New York City synagogue over the sale of stolen Palestinian land, which several elected officials labeled “antisemitic”: “When people protest against sales of stolen Palestinian land, elected officials and far too many Jewish institutions rush to decry the demonstrations. But this outrage obscures the real questions… We vehemently oppose illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land, wherever they take place. Every Palestinian has the right to return home.”

Jewish Voice for Peace
@jvplive
As Jews, we strongly object to the use of synagogues to enable the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes. That events supporting the theft of Palestinian land, in full violation of international law, are occurring at all is unconscionable. That they are occurring in our sacred spaces is a moral failure of epic proportions.When people protest against sales of stolen Palestinian land, elected officials and far too many Jewish institutions rush to decry the demonstrations. But this outrage obscures the real questions:

🗞️ NEW: Israel-backed militias operating east of Gaza’s “yellow line” say they expect to be folded into a UN-approved “vetted Palestinian police force” under Trump’s plan, and replace the current police in western Gaza, The Sunday Times reports. 

🔴 In Rafah, Ghassan Duhine says his faction has been “clearing” the area of Hamas “sleeper cells” ahead of reconstruction and a planned mechanism for movement of Palestinians from west to east, alongside a stabilization force. 

🔴 Along the yellow line between Rafah and Khan Younis in areas under Israeli control, Shawqi Abu Nasira, 62, who leads the Popular Army’s Central Forces, told the paper he is already working under the impression that his gang would be included in the new police setup. He also said he maintains close connections with the Palestinian Authority. 

🔴 In Khan Younis, Hossam al-Astal, who leads the “Counterterrorism Strike Force,” said his roughly 100 fighters were “sure” they would join the Palestinian police, with details to be announced next year.

Thread from the Sunday Times journalist is linked below.

The partition of Gaza 🧵

Postwar Gaza is divided by a yellow line separating two very different visions: Hamas in the west, and the IDF and anti-Hamas militias in the east 

Is this a transition toward peace, or permanent division?
