Mark Carney promised “elbows up” against the US, but he’s offering a warm embrace to US tech companies and the AI hype they’ve unleashed.
As Canada’s AI minister suggests AI regulation is off the table, there’s ample reason to be worried about Carney’s tech agenda.

Misinformation specialist, far-right provocateur, and champion of the anti-lockdown movement Roman Baber, has had a campaign sign on a prominent York Center intersection since I believe late 2023.
This isn't explicitly disallowed by Elections Canada, but it's incredibly misleading!
