Data centers have begun breaking ground and expanding in Canada. We also need a stake and stance like this. Such influential sites should be considered public utilities, if they want to have that much influence in our country's operations. #AI #DataCenters #CanadianAI #CdnPoli

Trump is now begging to be business partners with Iran. Think about that. Reminder: there is zero evidence that what Trump is saying is true. None. Iran, however, is positioned to cash in and make more money than ever before.

Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
