Background: Health Minister Sylvia Jones is aggressively rolling out a Medical Priority Dispatch System to regional Ambulance Communications Centres across Ontario to SAVE MONEY. So now you may die at home instead of in her hospital. She saves money on ambulances and hospitals.
This Toronto cancer patient called 911 to request an ambulance. She said the operator told her she wasn’t ‘sick enough’ ctvnews.ca/toronto/consumer-…

Doug Ford destroys Ontario place.
Therme builds a data center on that land.
Chairman of Therme is President of Palantir Canada.
Cohere gets 3.5b to use that data center.
Cohere works with Palantir.
Palantir is the tech department of the Military Industrial Complex.

New paper out in Lancet Regional Health Americas, with Alicia Grima, Natalie Wilson, Simran Mann, Ashleigh Tuite and Clara Lee. How many Ontario deaths are attributable to respiratory viruses, and how does SARS-CoV-2 compare to flu? 🧵 doi.org/10.1016/j.lana.2026.…

ICYMI: Cohere is being sued by TorStar in New York.
"New York judge Colleen McMahon labelled Cohere’s arguments 'without merit' and said the publishers have made 'adequate' allegations."

Say, isn’t Cohere being sued by a host of Canadian (and American) media outlets? Just sayin’. #canada #journalists #cdnpoli #AI #cdnmedia #MarkCarney @EvanLSolomon

Wife of a long term dementia patient here - 👋
If Bruce had signed an advanced directive, would I have been left to make the decision on when to apply MAiD?
Even after 11 years, yesterday I saw him smile, laugh, interact and enjoy his meals while being non-mobile, incontinent and non verbal.
I can promise you, I would ignore any advanced directive. Yes, he is a different man with a different life now but subjectively and objectively he is comfortable and content. I would not believe this Bruce would want to stop living.
In this case, would the “state” step in to provide MAiD over my objections and experience? We are rushing to a set of really complex entanglements. So much room for harm.
As a cancer MD, here’s what terrifies me about advance MAiD requests.
A patient with dementia could be smiling, laughing and enjoying life.
But a document signed years earlier says it’s time to die.
Administer MAiD and risk criminal charges? Refuse and potentially face a College complaint from the family?
What an extraordinary position to put a physician in.

Integrated with Google Cloud.
Being sued by publishers, including TorStar.
According to their own staff, "the valuation is disconnected from reality." 👇
Cohere is backed by NVIDIA, Oracle, AMD, Tiger Global and Saudi-linked Prosperity7 Ventures.
It also partnered with U.S.-based @CoreWeave to build and operate AI computing infrastructure in Ontario.
Now Ottawa is committing up to $1.6 BILLION in taxpayer money.
How much of Cohere is actually Canadian owned? How much of its infrastructure is under foreign control?
And why should taxpayers bankroll a government-picked winner without clear answers?

"Billionaires shouldn't be taxed on stock gains they haven't sold, because it isn't real money until they cash out."
Fine.
Then explain why my county reassessed my home this year and sent me a bigger bill.
I didn't sell it.
I didn't refinance.
I haven't seen a single dollar of that "extra value."
But I'm still handing over more every year because my house is worth more on paper.
Funny how paper gains are "not real" for a billionaire's portfolio, but completely real the moment they show up on a homeowner's tax statement.
Just saw this on Reddit

There is already an integrity commissioner report that says what happened. The issue is no one will do anything. Ryan Amato is still out there doing whatever and all of Ford’s MPPs still have their jobs.

This is what happens when you outsource every aspect of Infrastructure: The entire purpose of private corps is profit.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

Carney could protect Canadians.
But he instead supports these companies founded on whole scale theft on a massive scale.
Artists, authors, and creators are being ripped off by massive, billion-dollar companies like Open AI. This theft of proprietary information is plainly illegal, and it will devastate the American industries built upon expertise and creativity. Trump’s DOJ is out of line in its attempt to intervene in this case, and it is badly misinformed about the purpose of copyright law and allowable exceptions for fair use. America can and should lead the world in artificial intelligence without building it on theft.

Did Doug Ford refuse to stop OSAP fraud because his government was getting donations from the owners of the strip mall career colleges?
New court documents show Ontario received hundreds of tips and complaints about three private career colleges, thousands of OSAP applications came from a small number of IP addresses. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

this is not a partisan issue.
nor a jurisdictional issue.
this is an ignoring a nation’s statistical data issue.
and then not making a plan issue.
x at least 2 to 3 decades.
and so we’re here.
now.
Canadians need to decide what they wanna do.
and tell us.
Now.

I’m blocked by Palantir’s Canadian arm Cohere. These bastards are developing the AI to decide whether you're a terrorist & block your bank account. And the kicker is, you're paying for it! Another gift from Prime Minister Brookfield Asset Management.

Meanwhile in Canada?
Carney and Evan Solomon: “Let’s give taxpayers’ money to AI l! Let’s help them continue to steal from and impoverish writers and artists, and continue to destroy journalism and Canada’s free press!”

Good to see the @globeandmail holding Prime Minister @MarkJCarney accountable for his big bullshit and smoke and mirrors.
What we see (Surprise! Surprise!) is that Carney is really, really good at screwing people like students, immigrants, and workers, and really bad at delivering anything that helps people or protects the environment.
Good to see Canada's journalists exposing Carney. If Canadians stay suckered by this guy, it's on them, not the fourth estate which is doing its job.

Meta changing their terms to say that any link on their platform gives the the "right" to steal all the data on a website is like me getting a sales flyer on the mail and that means I have the "right" to take everything I want from the store.

When the f will we stop allowing big tech/data to do whatever the f they want?!!!
Carney and his Min of “AI” lapdog could put policies and laws in place in a matter of a few months.
But. They. Don’t.
Is it incompetence? Indifference?
Or do they just not care about Canadians?
