One of the worst things Canada imported from the US is car dependency. It is both financially and ecologically unsustainable that is bankrupting our cities. If want to build Canada strong, with more affordable and beautiful neighborhoods, we need to fully reject the US scam of car-centric cities.

Platforms like MySpace made it easier for artists to share their work. Generative AI makes it easier for anyone to generate something that resembles art by mashing up existing creative work, without credit or compensation. What happens when generating art becomes easier than learning how to make it?

RFK tried a common COVID disinfo tactic, but messed up the delivery. The right loves to say ER visits fell in 2020. 
Stat is true, but it's due to people who use ERs for primary care delaying visits while social distancing. So, ER visits fell but ICUs were full due to an influx of COVID patients.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Googling "sunset" used to give you the sunset time. Googling "sunset" now gives you an AI summarized definition explaining what the sunset is. The future!
An AI summary on Google: "Sunset is the daily disappearance of the sun below the western horizon, caused by the rotation of the Earth. It marks the end of the day and leads into twilight."

Paradoxically, trust in news declines, and is expected to decline even further in the future, partly because social media and AI are less trusted sources for audiences.
