What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.
Search and replace "Halifax" with "Ottawa".
I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

Nobody should using generative AI for anything that they really care about.
If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:
Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.
It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵
This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
Oh no, if only we had decades of popular culture suggesting that hooking AI up to our national defense networks might be a thing we don’t want to risk.
CBC airing the State of the Union address pisses me off and is also so embarrassing.
I wish Canadians understood that "Everything the US does, impacts us" has become a self-fulfilling prophecy where we rely on them for everything and are therefore, constantly being impacted by their BS.
free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people
Don't stay with companies that tell you to do nothing or require you to get permission to do the right thing.
So much of the content I see these days consists of developers spending all this energy trying to making AI predictable and deterministic.
The irony is that we are already equipped with the skills to accomplish that already: writing code.
I think heat pumps are a far more important technology than AI.
Yep. You heard me.
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Front cover of Lowell Green's book "Mayday! Mayday! Curb immigration. Stop multiculturalism. Or it's the end of the Canada we know!"
From the back-cover of the book: "CAUTION: This book must be read with an open mind! Lowell Green presents a powerful, persuasive, well-documented and incredibly well researched argument for a substantial reduction in Canada's yearly intake of immigrants and refugees, and an immediate halt to multiculturalism. Lowell minces no words in demonstrating how immigration has changed from the early 1990s—when about four European immigrants arrived here for every non-European—until today, when about four non-European immigrants arrive for every one of European descent."
Radio host told to apologize Insulted Somalis on-air CFRA Radio talk show host Lowell Green has been criticized by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Coun- cil for using excessive sarcasm on the air in discussing the Somalia inquiry. Radio host told to apologize INSULTED SOMALIS ON-AIR An Ottawa radio host who racially abused Somalis on his show has been told to apologize by the Cana- dian Broadcast Standards Council. Lowell Green was investigated af- ter a listener complained that the CFRA talk show host had "incited hatred against people of Somali origin" during a 1997 broadcast. within a reasonable period of time. "In all my 40 years of broadcast- ing, it's the most astonishing thing that's ever happened to me," Mr. Green said yesterday. "How they could misinterpret what I said is beyond belief." He said he had sup- ported Somalis and hadn't meant his remarks to be taken seriously. He didn't say if he would apologize. Mr. Green says he was taken off the panel of CTV's Sunday Edi- tion in 1998 largely because he referred to senators as "lard ass- es," although a Sunday Edition producer said the dismissal was unrelated. The council said Mr. Green's use of sarcasm led to a breach of the private broadcasters' code. Ron Cohen, council chairman, said that while they understood Mr. Green's concept of using sarcasm, his execution was wrong and he had used inappropriate words. "The problem had to do with the use of various disparaging terms as 'wog' which the council considered were abusively discriminatory." Mr. Cohen said Mr. Green faces no penalty, but the council expects him to make an on-air apology By ToNY LOFARO Ottawa Citizen
Radio host Lowell Green chastised for 'abusive' remarks about Muslims BY CHRIS COBB Veteran Ottawa open-line radio host Lowell Green con- travened Canadian broad- casting standards when he made "abusive and discrimi- natory" remarks against Mus- lims, the national broadcast watchdog ruled yesterday. According to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC), Mr. Green launched an "uninformed and unfair" attack when he told his CFRA audience in early December that the majority of Muslims are fanatics and extremist be- haviour is symptomatic of the religion, not just a radical mi- nority. BRUNO SCHLUMBERGER, THE OTTAWA CITIZEN Longtime Ottawa radio host Lowell Green launched an 'uninformed and unfair' attack on the air, according to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. (
Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa

It takes a lot of courage to write and share an obituary this honest, in the hopes it is of help to others. My heart goes out to Erica and everyone who knew her.

still can't believe ontario keeps voting for a guy whose idea of making things better for its residents is "force way more debt on university students," "build spa literally no one wanted," and "dig underground car tunnel literally no one asked for" like how are we this masochistic
I checked the publications dates books that informed my thinking about this kind of tech before it became AI discourse. Books like Artificial Unintelligence, Algorithms of Oppression, Race After Technology, Weapons of Math Destruction: 2016-2019. Unsurprisingly, this observation truly tracks.
Today we remember the Battle of Billings Bridge and salute the brave citizen volunteers who stood up to the honking, harassing occupiers.
Well, hard to do when the federal government abandons half its climate policies.
Bruce Fanjoy: Statement Regarding the Return to Office Policy February 9*, 2026 On February 5th, 2026, the federal government announced an updated Return-to-Office (RTO) policy for federal public servants. Today, I am calling upon the government to reconsider this policy for the following reasons: 1. The new RTO policy makes it harder to achieve the government's priorities of reducing the operating cost of government, improving affordability, and respecting the environment. Instead, it will cost both the government and citizens more and increase pollution. 2. There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians. 3. The RTO policy makes it harder for public servants to balance work with other responsibilities. I believe Canada is better served by a hybrid model that balances a mix of in-office and remote work. The right balance is flexible and depends on circumstances. Done well, a hybrid model reduces the cost of government and benefits workers and all Canadians. To my constituents in Carleton, I hear you. I will continue to press for solutions that work for you and all Canadians. Sincerely, Bruce Fanjoy Member of Parliament for Carleton
Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy from the Ottawa-area riding or Carleton is breaking ranks with the Carney government on its Return to Office policy for public servants:
“There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians”
I understand why non-public servants in Ottawa are rolling their eyes at public servant complaints about the return to office mandate.
But as Luke points out, what is the point of going to a building where you have no office and are spending the entire time on MS teams video calls?
It's ludicrous.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
This is what happens when you elect, 3x over, a fucking goon whose only previous work experience was being a nepo baby and drug dealer.
Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

Wow.
