AI isn’t just automating tasks; it’s modeling society. If we want real agency in the AI era, people need a right to opt out of having their data used to train models. Not anti‑innovation, but pro‑human. A human brake on AI’s velocity is governance, not obstruction.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

The final Canada-Alberta MOU deal locks in modest improvements to industrial carbon pricing—Canada’s most important climate policy—over the long term. Those changes will mean future emissions cuts won't be enough for the country to reach net zero by 2050.

Less water, higher power bills, more pollution, less farm land, harmed livestock, less public funds, few local jobs.
