Whether you support it or not, there are serious problems with the way Canada's "age verification" Bill S-209 is written. Don't wait until after it passes to fix it.

#MarkJCarney in case you forgot who you just gave a tax cut to at the expense of Canadians and Amazon workers. Or will you do the right thing and keep the Digital Services Tax now that Trump has pissed on your olive branch?

AI needs guardrails more than broad ignorant implementation across sectors. I hope they bring that bill back and make improvements.

Could deep learning be useful? Protein folding, drug discovery, etc. - yes. Hellscape gov chatbots replacing human help? Hard pass.

Fact-checking brings out the cyberstalkers, so CTV's answer is to stop fact-checking??? During an election, we need better information not cowardice.
