personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Editors’ Note: May 1, 2026
This article was updated after The Times learned that a remark attributed to Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, was in fact an A.I.-generated summary of his views about Canadian politics that A.I. rendered as a quotation. The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned.  The article now accurately quotes from a speech delivered by Mr. Poilievre in April. He said, “My personal opinion is that when a member of Parliament goes back on the word they made to their constituents and switches parties, constituents should be able to petition to throw them out and have a byelection. That would put the people back in charge of our democracy rather than having dirty backroom Liberal deals by Mark Carney determine our destiny.” He did not refer to politicians who changed allegiances as turncoats in that speech.

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Big day in Canadian politics. Justin Trudeau's resignation after nine years in power could hardly come at a more significant moment before Trump's inauguration. Canada's energy future and climate stance will likely change dramatically, with the carbon tax under intense fire.

#COP29 plenary EU "very much concerned" on mitigation text "we need a much stronger language on the concrete follow up to GST" "[Climate extremes] in Africa, the Americas, our friends in the Caribbean & the Pacific…shows we need to do more, not less, than the UAE consensus on mitigation" 1/11

Loud applause for Colombia's environment minister Susana Muhamad, who just gave an impassioned speech at #COP29. She said middle-income countries like hers are being caught in the middle of "geopolitical games" and backs calls for new proposals like taxes to raise climate funds.
