Canada is in what AI minister Evan Solomon has called a “crisis moment” around AI. That’s why Ottawa is investing $9M to help Amii train nearly 5,000 energy sector workers in AI skills.
Clean energy, AI tools, and skilled people = future competitiveness.

0.5-0.8%. When you take a step back it’s striking how much of the discussion about the carbon tax in Canada - the easiest and least intrusive environmental policy intervention available, more or less, which conservatives say drives up food prices - is predicated on a total lie.
