WOW! This aired to 1 billion people in China. A year ago these robots could barely wave a handkerchief, now they can do backflips and kung fu with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is the next frontier. #cdnpoli

I really like the Vector, it reminds me of a very updated Renault Group B rally car from the early 80s. The Maxi Turbo. I'd drive one of these all day long. Hopefully when it goes to production the design is largely unchanged #Canada #EV #ProjectArrow
We unveiled our self-driving Project Arrow Borealis prototype at the Canadian International AutoShow yesterday with Minister Evan Solomon.
Together with our faster, smarter, lighter Project Arrow Vector, come see what the future of 🇨🇦 auto tech looks like from Feb 13-23 in Toronto!
Go Team Canada 🇨🇦

This person gets it. All of this is about possessing Canada. In Trump's 'mind' Canada cannot exist as a sovereign state. We need to stop giving this man an inch. #BoycottUSA #cdnpoli
The argument Donald Trump is making is that Canada will be annexed, either by China or the United States.
And that’s why he believes trading with China means China can cancel the Stanley Cup or whatever.
It’s an ultimatum: “Canadian independence cannot exist, choose us as your master.”
Fuck you.
