'Our goal is AI for all,' Carney says in Liberal convention speech

#cdnpoli

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.

Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.

Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.

Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

Dear Canadians.

Send a message to our Prime Minister!

pm@pm.gc.ca

This is what I just sent.

Dear Prime Minister,

I am shocked and deeply disturbed by your inaction and inability to call out the President of the United States who is using the rhetoric of a madman.
Canada should call in the USA Ambassador, close our airspace to USA forces on Iran-related flights, and denounce in public this clearly criminal and suicidal rhetoric.

Sincerely
Chris

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Google to tap into gas plant for AI datacenter in sharp turn from climate goals

^{Dara Kerr (The Guardian)}

I hate this timeline.

As a long time #climate campaigner... I almost feel like I should be hoping that the Iran/US war continues as long as possible so the price of oil and gasoline can go as high as possible and force economies to electrify and shift at emergency-speed to renewables.

We could have started on this the easy way 30 years ago... but a few of the same people objected and obstructed.

she's absolutely right. this is deeply wrong. for every trans person in Manitoba and in other shamefully governed provinces in Canada.

"A Ukrainian refugee says Manitoba's rejection of her requests to help her remove her deadname from official documents leaves her exposed to transphobia and infringes on her right to express her gender."

That traitor conservstives don't lose their seat for breaking their oath of office is an example of how Canada's legal system is biased for the perps.

That traitor conservatives aren't charged with espionage or treason for colluding with a hostile fascist foreign power that has verbally stated the objective of "annexing" Canada is an example of how Canada's legal system is biased for the perps.

It was weaknesses like this that allowed the successful fascist coup of the USA.

These are existential weaknesses.
The courts won't fix it.
The politicians won't fix it.
Fascism leverages democratic weakness into authoritarian power.

But we have seen for a year now that amendments 1 4 10 and 14 are de facto void.

And in the c/a/n/a/d/a project the conservative prime minister Carney has a package of draconian legislation to curtail our Charter of Rights and Freedoms to a degree never seen since they were created in 1982.

Fuck the fascists.
