I vaguely remember him running for a presidential nomination and that he said some ridiculous stuff (though I don't remember what he said anymore). Is the reference more recent? Since someone else mentioned it, does this have to do with how he died, apparently?
I watched yesterday and I'm still at a loss. The arguments Fawcett made are logical and make me want to hope for better, but it's not like I can shut off my memories of all the other instances where I've seen Carney catering to business-related lobbies (and in this case it may be military equipment manufacturers or others that use fossil fuels) without any hint of consultation with independent experts, and in ways that won't really benefit most citizens.
If there weren't already multiple examples of Carney using misleading language that causes public confusion over his government's intentions, I'd probably be more inclined to trust this, but as things are I'm still apprehensive. Also, the rush to build excess pipelines that don't seem worth the expense gives me ominous flashbacks to Trump's insistence on bringing in crude from Venezuela after his coup of Maduro, even though refiners didn't want a market glut. Feels like finance bro logic.
I don't know what the landscape is like in the gaming industry these days so I can't say if it's the case here, but often that kind of pattern is about eliminating competition (i.e. market manipulation rather than innovation).
Energi Media has been on my radar for a couple of months now. They tend to have interesting takes on Alberta politics, as proponents of clean energy. I'll definitely check out their perspective on this. Thanks for the heads up!
Scary to see this around the same time Carney's govt here in Canada decided to give themselves the power to overrule Health Canada bans on toxic pesticides if they ever feel like it.
OK, that clinches it. I've had a feeling since the first time I saw this graphic that there was some sympathetic background worker at Fox News who purposely made the thing look as appealing as possible. "Culture war" issues are still kneejerk, hot button topics for a lot of that audience.
C-suite hopefully got a taste of reality when OpenAI and Anthropic tried to charge token-based rates that covered their actual costs. Suddenly nobody was willing to pay and rates had to be slashed again! (I think this was all in the last month or two.) More and more enterprises will probably be downloading one of the free open-weight models and developing their own in-house setup (which would at least be more resource efficient).
They're not done digging their financial holes so they'd just spend a bailout right away and keep on digging. It's not that they got into a debt that's hard to keep up with. It's that the entire industry has no working model that covers the cost of doing business. Ed Zitron has laid this out in multiple articles and interviews (and probably on his podcast).
For someone with your username, that sounds incredibly eugenicist (choosing who can vote), and more typical of someone who believes in liberalism to say (the elitism in blaming people who fall for the propaganda instead of the propagandists themselves). Surely this kind of language plays a part in disenfranchising people who are simply misinformed. Kind of counterproductive.
As they realized in Europe, Microsoft will turn data over to the US govt if requested, so using it on sensitive systems should be seen as a bigger security threat than some video app.
I was just talking about the Youtube channel, but maybe he'll reach some of the boomers there at least.
Thanks! Usually I get these fine, but this one was just going to keep on whooshing right over my head.

Nothing about whether he spoke back. 😅

Looks to me like they were talking about (or to, as the case may be) Hoekstra.

Or a wealth hoarder who wished they could take it with them when they died.

I'd like to know as well. I was just looking at some from Ikea but Canadian ones would be nice to check out.

aka "Tim Apple," at least to Trump
Looks very helpful. Thanks for the link! <3
It would make a nice museum, and they could have regular tours.
