It’s funny that a tech CEO is getting credit for coining a term that those who actually do the work have known was a thing for over a year. Congrats on being a thought leader! No one else had figured out that people abuse AI to transfer work and cognitive load onto others!!

It’s so funny to see opposition politicians in Canada trying to jump on every Trump tirade and then having the entire thing reversed in 48 hours or less. If you have a policy position that relies on something Trump has said or threatened you’re playing chess with a chimpanzee.

Meta selling its AI chatbot as a thing that can shop for you is very on brand. We now have AI pushing mass consumption at scale with minimal human intervention. The solution is to buy less, buy local.

One of the best ways to make Canada strong would be to require minimum 50% Canadian ownership to access government tax credits or funding for media companies

Carney has a lot on his plate right now but I think someone needs to figure out WTF Canada is doing with daylight savings time. We are now a bizarre mishmash of timezones that is actually going to cause an accident at some point

I heard a cover of Ahead by a Century today in a store today and it was so bad it was offensive.

Carney mentioning "payments" as one of the main areas where Canada and Europe should cooperate is interesting. The need for a non-American credit card system is a clear opportunity.

Our Prime Minister speaking in both English and French in front of the European Parliament to forge a new partnership is something I never imagined I'd see and never figured I'd react so emotionally to. Our little country is growing up.

Look, late-stage capitalism is toxic and all but if we can get bridges, rail, electricity grids and rare minerals fast-tracked by foreign investment I don't see the issue. It's not like the Chinese or Dutch can take the mines, windmills, or tunnels with them, it lives here by definition.

I’m an apple guy so I definitely had it in my mind that it was *possible* for them to launch a folding phone that wasn’t fugly. I was wrong. The entire product category is a chimera in search of a purpose.

I feel like a civilization that has lived with the threat of nuclear annihilation for 75 years is really bad at judging existential risks.

Maybe there's a ton happening behind the scenes but it certainly doesn't feel like the government and law enforcement are taking the active participation of foreign actors in this process seriously.

Doug Ford needs to put up or shut up and get more BC wines in the LCBO. When I was on PEI this summer, most of the Canadian reds they have on menus are from BC and I’m sorry Ontario, they are better.

The lights just flickered in Moscow It wasn’t a Ukrainian drone attack, it was the power draw from thousands of data centres intensifying the propaganda war against Canada Right now, millions of MAGA acolytes, including thousands of Canadians and one premier, are getting their instructions

....and to be clear, the attack on Canada is not simply a "trade war". The US ripped up the Gordie Howe Bridge deal and expropriated the revenue stream. That's not a trade war; that's simply gangsterism. And that repeats on many other non-trade fronts. So, stop analyzing this as a "trade war".

I wonder if President Zelensky had some advisors saying "sir, we cannot hurt Russian GDP more than they hurt ours, therefore we should submit to all demands". Maybe, but they sure weren't in this picture. He didn't listen to such nonsense. We haven't been invaded. But we are under attack....

I was telling my therapist like four years ago that Ukraine was a warning shot for Canada. I guess I should feel good that my anxiety was not misplaced, but for some reason I don’t.

Spencer Callaghan @spencercallaghan.ca · 22/08/2026

That press conference was a masterclass in Carney’s ability to break down complex economic issues. Canadians are fair-minded, rational people. We believe in free and open trade, but we also believe in rules and honour. I don’t think Trump believes in anything but himself.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Every premier should be passing tougher product labelling laws for country of origin, especially produce. Why? Because some of our billionaires aren’t on the same team as the rest of us. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

One thing that must have come into play is precedent. Once you bake a tariff regime into what was supposed to be a free trade agreement, you are basically saying goodbye to free trade for a generation. If you think the Democrats would roll those tariffs back in 2028 you clearly don’t know them.

I guess this was it. Good on Carney for walking away.

These leaks can’t be true. The only way it makes sense is if they’re looking for confirmation that Canadians are ok with walking away.

Just wait until the Americans realize that their booze being on the shelf doesn't mean we want to buy it. I have gotten a taste for Canadian and Irish Whiskey as well as Spanish and BC wine. You gave us an excuse to shop around and we've moved on.

Maybe I’m just forgetting but it seems to me no other technology ever had advocates who claimed it would enslave the human race. Maybe that has something to do with it.
