Pretty funny how the NDP wealth tax proposal is blowing this reporter’s mind.
It’s not a tax on income — it’s a tax (starting at just 1%!!!) on people who are worth at least TEN MILLION dollars!
Even if you’re a home owner, I doubt your house is worth ten million.

In case Canadians forgot, we DO actually have a real progressive option (since our two largest parties are right wing).
The NDP came out today proposing a wealth tax that would apply to people worth more than $10 million to pay for public grocery options, housing and healthcare.

Also Palantir
Canadians will own a stake in Cohere’s world-leading secure AI.
An investment for Canadians, by Canadians.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
On LMArena, people vote blindly on best AI answers. Cohere’s best model, Command A, ranks around 210th.
On Vals.ai’s coding test, Command A scored 7.8%, dead last out of 88 models.
Cohere AI is not world-leading in objective or subjective analysis, based upon the data.

They don't like me telling you that Cohere is Palantir with a Made In Canada sticker slapped on.
Prime Minister @MarkJCarney said Canada is investing $1.6 billion in Toronto frontier AI developer @cohere as the "Canadian success story" targets a nearly $36 billion valuation in a new round of financing. betakit.com/canada-to-invest…

For the third or fourth time.
Thank you Ethan Klein, for defeating Ethan Klein 🤝
You undoubtedly are, the legend.

Here’s AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak last week saying the major projects office — which Carney touted as doing sufficient consultation ahead of naming this oil pipeline in the “national interest” — “don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to First Nations.”

It’s the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Canada has a lot of work to do.
In some ways, we’re actually backsliding right now - from residential school denial to rights-busting "national building projects."
We gotta do a better job of defending Indigenous rights:

someone posted that elizabeth holmes looks like a mouse that wished to be able to commit wire fraud and i've been thinking about this ever since
ALT It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."
ALT Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

interesting how politicians across the political divide can unite to get behind AI data centres but never stuff like affordable housing, childcare, or wealth taxes that would benefit average people

Carney is more popular than ever.
He’s also, in my view, a very skilled propagandist. So it’s essential to cut through that for Canadians so they can be clear about exactly what they’re supporting.
That’s the focus on my new piece for @TheTyee.
I hope you’ll hear me out:

It’s a message that’s hard to get into Canadians heads right now because of the lunatic down south, but Avi Lewis is 100% correct.

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death.
She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp.
ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots.
A detention center is just a death camp by a different name.
And they’re quietly murdering everyday.
I've started making it a tradition to throw some money out at charity every year for my birthday. If anyone has any spare dollars, please consider donating to @ThePCRF. Amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza, children still deserve the opportunity to eat and play like everyone else.
