It's easy to give into cynicism, but I'd encourage anyone who's concerned about the government's upcoming AI policy to participate in the People's Consultation on AI (deadline: March 15). @cyn-k.bsky.social and others are doing the work to help Canadians be heard on this important issue.

Love to see these initiatives. Profs whose courses have been canceled by universities bowing to the Feds, starting their own courses. People of a certain age may recall the 70s, under Reagan, Thatcher, Mulroney and Pinochet, when free universities became a resistance thing. History is never linear.

Use the provided pencil. Or bring your own pen. However you choose to mark your ballot, as long as it's just one mark, clearly in the designated circle, it will be counted, cross checked, & witnessed. Our ballot counting is *very* secure contrary to conspiracy-theorising on X, Facebook & tiktok.
Pen or pencil? Elections Canada says it doesn’t matter when casting a ballot
OTTAWA - Elections Canada wants you to know your ballot will count whether you mark it with a pen or with a pencil.

Amongst many concerns with the CPC platform, I'm hoping gender-based violence experts/activists will take up the call and argue against the enhanced carceral approach to GBV proposed here. It's likely to have dire consequences for marginalized folks and use of s 33 must be contested.
The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.
