Danger was flagged, but not reported: What the Tumbler Ridge tragedy reveals about Canada’s AI governance vacuum In cases like the Tumbler Ridge shooter’s flagged ChatGPT account, Canada lacks a legal framework for assigning responsibility when an AI company possesses information that could prevent violence.

"When OpenAI flagged Van Rootselaar’s account, its only obligation was to its own internal policy. Banning the account resolved the company’s liability while leaving a person expressing violent ideations disconnected from any intervention pathway." Change needed. theconversation.com/danger-was-f...

Just wondering... why is it okay for painters, visual artists, singer-songwriters, music composers to use AI but writers / authors cannot?

Is there a double standard here?

Canadian English supporters urge Carney to abandon federal shift to British spelling Promoters of Canadian English say the federal government is sending the wrong message to the world with its recent use of British spelling in official documents.

Do you know the difference between check and cheque? Since my days in broadcasting, an expensive Canadian Press spelling guide has been a staple reference book on my desk yet I still learned a distinction today: manoeuvre. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Canada Post workers walking off the job after government demands reforms | CBC News The union representing Canada's postal workers has called for a cross-country strike in the wake of the federal government announcing major reforms to Canada Post.

Just when I thought it was safe to mail my grandson his birthday present... Another strike. πŸ“­ I wonder if profit sharing as a #goal would help bring the sides of this essential service together before further erosion of their market share. Let's try creative innovation. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

#Bloomberg et al: airlines paused or cancelled Canada-U.S. flights in the wake of trade war

Actually NO!
It's not because of trade war. It's because of disrespect calling Canada "the 51st state." πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Tariffs are transactional.
Annexation is emotional.

Could this be partly why King Charles is reading the speech from the throne in Canada?? Prime minister #Carney gets it and can lead graciously on the world stage. Thank you. #elbowsup

On this day, a failed desperate attack on Quebec City during a snowstorm on December 31, 1775, resulted in more than 300 Americans captured by French and English who went scurrying home, leaving food, weapons and wounded comrades when British warships arrived on the St.Lawrence River. #canadastrong
