Private AI companies are part of Build Canada and have been pandering to Carney to cut government workers in favor of AI chat bots. This isn’t about AI, it’s about privatizing government services
If it wasn’t already clear the direction AI policy was going under Mark Carney and Evan Solomon, this task force makes it clear.
The inclusion of the chair of Build Canada, whose members openly pushed for a Canadian DOGE and Poilievre government earlier this year, is just one of many examples.

If there was truly any conviction for the public interest, members of the AI Strategy Task Force would resign in protest for the configuration of their group.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

If this doesn't feel like fascism to you because things are still mostly normal at work and school and the vacation is still planned, congratulations you've just learned what fascism is like.
It is insidious. It will initially target only the most vulnerable — people who probably aren't like you.
