This crisis moment is a chance to reimagine what kind of Canada we want to build – and Canadians are ready to build big things together.

If you’ve ever wanted a T-shirt repping a racist Canadian group pushing for mass deportations, your purchase is just a few clicks away — all thanks to Shopify. When I reached out to them, they said "we don’t remove merchants over objections to their worldview.” Wow. My latest for @thetyee.ca:

"Using the tools of an American AI company to generate realistic-looking depictions of hungry Canadians is grotesquely antihuman. It drags politics out of the real world and into the dystopic world of generative AI," writes @justinling.ca. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Hiring actors to play poor people would be gross, too. But asking a computer to generate a lifelike scene of Canadians struggling to put food on the table is another level: It tilts us deeper into the muck of terminally online unreal nonsense. It is politics by and for the denizens of Twitter, where real life is increasingly warped by technology.
Normalizing this generative advertising will bring us to some very unpleasant places. What’s to stop the Liberal party from generating an ad of Pierre Poilievre donning a Make America Great Again hat? The Conservatives could fire back an ad of Mark Carney’s face slowly morphing into Justin Trudeau’s. The Green Party could jump into the fray with a video showing the other leaders having their pockets stuffed with cash from shadowy oil executives. It will invite the question: Are any political ads real anymore?
Using AI to create an authentic-looking scene — one we must constant remind ourselves isn’t real — abrogates the need for our politicians to actually argue and convince people of their position. It pushes us into a world where politics becomes a test of who can create the most compelling visual fiction.

We have an opportunity to pile our efforts into building out renewables at a rate similar to China's, with more bang for our buck. Plus we can be a part of that solution for the rest of the world by ramping up battery and component manufacturing. But no, Carney doubles down on O&G.

(1/3) Stoking Alberta separatism is just one half of a pincer movement against Canadian democracy. The other arm of the pincer - which receives nowhere near the attention needed - is corporate influence (e.g. Build Canada, Atlas Network). Both aim to meet in the centre: a Canada more... #CDNpoli
