Deloitte used AI without doing any fact checking on the information it provided, making “recommendations” on Newfoundland & Labrador’s healthcare system using made up sources and papers

The issue of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park is important to the entirety of Nova Scotia because handing it over to create a golf course would set a precedent for all protected land in the province. If they can do it here, they will do it anywhere. Comments on this: www.youtube.com/live/RP1xHzB...

HRM data showing both pedestrian and cyclist crashes are up in the first six months of 2025 vs first six months of 2024, cyclist/micro-mobility crashes up by nearly one quarter.
