Fund genocide, fund business - all in a day's work in the UAE.
Touched down in Abu Dhabi.
I’m here to strengthen Canada’s economic partnership with the UAE, meet with business leaders looking to invest in Canada, and unlock new export opportunities to benefit Canadian workers and businesses.

We really need to start boycotting PE-owned businesses. It's criminal what they do to people.
I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.
This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.
Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?

Cool to see that the week after Remembrance Day, the Carney government is eager to learn the lessons of not how to ensure genocide never happens again but that it can keep happening and that we can keep getting better at it.
Canada is named as an attendee at an "international seminar" hosted by the Israeli military to discuss the lessons learned from Israel's two-year campaign of genocide against Palestinians. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Without exaggeration, Carney’s AI policy is so absurd — mindless boosterism, rushed Potemkin consultations, no attention to regulating its myriad demonstrated harms, AT THE HEIGHT OF A FINANCIAL BUBBLE — is so utterly misguided it should cast doubts on his overall policy competence.
