totally love how carney is trying to sovereignty-wash the bullshit machine. generative ai does not suddenly become acceptable and free of all its drawbacks because it’s notionally “canadian.”
AI already supports 150,000 jobs in Canada, and more than 800,000 people work across ourbroader digital economy.
Our new strategy, AI for All, invests $350 million in Canadian AI institutions like Vector Institute, so thatAI is developed here — safely, responsibly, and to benefit of all Canadians.

Many threats to our sovereignty link directly to extractive capitalism, proliferation of AI, pollution caused by data centres, and global food insecurity.

Denmark’s Ministry of Digital Government is phasing out its use of Microsoft Office.. to switch to open source alternatives like LibreOffice instead.
Why? Because relying too heavily on a US tech giant for your nation’s digital infrastructure is starting to feel a bit... well, risky.
