very recently Industry Canada was trumpeting Canada's advantages in AI. Many key researchers were at Canadian universities, so there was a pretty good R & D lead at one point.
Canada even has a "Scale AI" industrial supercluster.
Doesn't really seem to be stimulating much public noise.
30 years of programming and architecture consulting for corporations and this is the most accurate take on it.
The Nature of Things also had an episode on it.
smells like another attack on sugar substitutes from the sugar industry via the WHO.
Sugar in the quantities that the sugar industry would like to sell is extremely unhealthy.
it's not even CEOs as a class. It's a tiny percentage of the CEOs of the largest companies, and even the richest Canadian CEOs are chump change compared to the "globally wealthy" that have real power. The richest Canadians, who don't work as CEOs, aren't in the top 2000 global wealth.
CEO is a job. Rich people don't have jobs. They make their money by being rich, raking it in under ALL economic scenarios.
option 3 is my choice
that's how they control inflation - by killing the economy, increasing unemployment, thus disciplining labour and suppressing wage increases and consumer demand. Instead of govt spending on programs, it gives money to bondholders, who hoard it until interest rates come down.
Australia has leading scholars on MMT, which explains exactly what is going on, a very different story than you'll hear in the Murdoch media.
it's pointless to throw a long term number out without considering what contributes to it. Canada's growth, population growth, economic growth, and other factors cause the public service to grow. In 2006 - 2015, it also had come through some periods of suppressed growth as the conservatives slashed services provided.
lady on the left: "my cat!!!"
sounds good to me.
Conservatives will oppose it because they live in a fantasy world view fed to them by people working for oil companies.
There was a nasty one that went through Ottawa in May 2022. Devastated the power grid, trees, widespread roof damage. A big house near me lost a 30x60 piece of roof.
No power at my house for 2 weeks.
Do not anger the derecho spirits...repent!
seems like it will continue to be slow-rolled. The Conservatives will promise to do both the same, and the opposite.
