The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout. The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.

1/ The Liberals have finally acknowledged the dangers of surveillance pricing, after the NDP raised the alarm about corporations using personal information to charge you more. But they still won't commit to banning it.

News graphic showing a headline that reads: "Carney Government says it will tackle 'surveillance pricing'. NDP Leader Avi Lewis, who launched a campaign demanding a ban on the “unfair” and “downright creepy” practice , says it is not enough.". Graphic has a photo of Avi Lewis speaking in the background.

for the most part I’m staunchly against generative AI, but occasionally I see a use case that makes me go “hmm yes ✨ this is really enhancing my experience ✨”

1/ The Liberal government might as well have called its AI strategy “All in for AI”. This is a document that's heavy on hype, but light on the right guardrails that we need to protect people – and to ensure that the benefits of the technology don’t just flow to a handful of tech giants & investors.

The Liberals' AI strategy proposes massive expansion of AI with no concern for the consequences it will have on workers, youth, privacy, and our water and energy supply. The NDP is calling for a humans-first AI strategy that protects Canadian jobs, data and natural resources.

At a time when people are worried about affordability, health care, housing, and jobs, Smith is pouring gasoline on division and fear. She is selfishly pitting Albertan against Albertan and dragging our province into chaos to save herself and her scandal-ridden government.

A fun quirk of modern languages is variable names aren’t restricted to ASCII.
 Most compilers won’t let you use emojis as identifiers in C++, but we *can* be pretty funny (notice cout). A legitimate use case is replicating scientific paper notation in code.

The funny part is, some cabinets used an optical drive exactly *once*. 
You’d load the game into DRAM, which was then on a battery backup, so hopefully you never have to use the drive again.

So Canada wants us to recognize that Zionists have ancestral ties to Palestine after centuries but refuse to recognize many Indigenous people here as having ancestral ties to our territories because of their blood quantum requirements under a genocidal Indian Status system? Makes sense.

Olivia Rodrigo speaks out in support of Palestine in new Instagram story: “it is horrific and completely unacceptable. to give up on them is to give up on our shared humanity.”

There is no “but” FREE PALESTINE. Period. Full stop. There is no condition. There is no counter-position. Free Palestine. This should not be the reality and the determined fate of anyone, and absolutely not for a whole ethnic group. Especially on their own native land. Free Palestine.
