and he keeps saying shit like "our country" and "our land".... mf, you're Canadian, you're building bullshit in the US, a country of which you are NOT apart of.

Canada, come get your boy. We can do a tradsies or something, who you got?

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca · 37 pts · 108d (1 reply)

We reject him as Canadian. He’s a traitor, just like Gretzky.

According to O'Leary, people against his AI data centre are AI protesters funded by China.

toiletobserver@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 108d

I know right? I'm clearly funded by Switzerland.

If you hate this guy as much as me, look up his guitar videos. He's garbage and thinks he's so good. Pathetic

Corngood@lemmy.ml · 18 pts · 108d

I do hate him, but I have to be careful. That sounds like enough cringe to do permanent damage.

Damn you cut straight to the core

Fuckkk off Maga POS. There was a reason the conservative party of canada rejected this absolute chode.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 108d (1 reply)

In favor of Pierre Poilievre? Le chode.

CircaV@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 107d

CPC = party of chode worship.

SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 108d (2 replies)

That probably means he is funded by China.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 108d (1 reply)

O'Leary is a common Chinese name.

HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 107d

Never trust an Irishman, especially when he's Chinese.

I ... Wish? Where money please?

“Who would want us to stop building our electrical grid? Who would want to stop us from having compute capacity to develop AI? Which adversary would want that? There’s only one. It’s China.”

Nope. They're busy getting rich from investimg in shit the world actually wants.

Anyone can build a data centre whenever they want. There's only one threat and China is already well ahead of it; cheaper data centre options thanks to dominating the renewables market.

So go on and expand your grid, Kev. Its the big-brain move 👍

Kevin O'Leary? Is he still considered a Canadian? I thought he had pretty much sold his soul to America.

recursive_recursion@piefed.ca · 16 pts · 108d (1 reply)

I hope that Kevin O'Leary invested heavily into AI/LLMs so that when they go under it takes him with them

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 108d

hes the dr phil equivalent, and look alike for stock markets.

AzuranAurora@piefed.ca · 15 pts · 108d

Take a hike, fucking waste of oxygen.

yah but they are a little off themselves.

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 108d

This clown also wants to build a dc in Alberta, over a gas field that's otherwise unprofitable to extract. He'll be burning it on-site.

Can we please eat this moronic fat cat?

Yuccagnocchiyaki@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 107d

Says the shark that will ONLY deal with entrepreneurs that refuse to make anything in America and source products from China to sell at Wal Mart.

When can we eat the rich. At this point, they are begging for it

Etterra@discuss.online · 6 pts · 108d

Ha, I wish. I then I could pay my electric bill on time.

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 107d

Who cares what this angry little outsider says. He and Danielle Smith should pick a lane and move to the united states once and for all. Then they'll be really tiny little fishies in a super big pond.

JiveTurkey@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 108d

Dude is a chode and the worst kind of person.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 108d

The stock markets whipping boy to convince people to errenously sell thier stocks.

theacharnian@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 107d (2 replies)

If China actually did what O'Leary says, I would be clapping for China for funding positive things. Fuck Kevin O'Leary.
