In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Britain’s richest men now say the country is finished. Jim Ratcliffe, in Monaco, correctly calls it “on the slide.” Fred Done says he would not wish to be reborn here. They name the diseases: punitive taxes and mass migration. Then they pack their bags.
Noblesse oblige should not be optional. Fortune made in these islands still carries a duty to the people who remain. If they can remember the empire our ancestors built and the wars they fought to preserve our home, they can surely fund the work that might still save the country they are writing off.
A sliver of one fortune could train young Britons, defend communities, and rebuild resilience. Organisations like ours hoping to do this work exist.
It’s time to stop giving in to doom-mongering and pronouncing us dead at the scene from a tax haven. It’s time for life-saving treatment, whatever it takes.

Quick reminder that the current minister who is leading the Gun "Buyback Program" was caught on tape saying he didn't know why his government was pursuing the policy.

Canada is on a mission to double our trade with India and attract massive new investment for Canadian businesses.
I met with Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, in Mumbai to discuss how they can partner with Canadian businesses. This has the potential to make both our economies stronger, more resilient — and create high-paying career opportunities in energy, critical minerals, and technology.

If the US invades Greenland, we may as well declare war, because it means we are inevitably next.
It would be better to go out with some honour and principles, rather than cower until the final hour.

This week, I was sworn in as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, and Minister responsible for Official Languages.
Thank you PM @markjcarney for your trust at a time when protecting the culture and languages at the heart of our Canadian identity is so very important.

I have inside information to suggest that the Ontario PC's are on board to collaborate with the federal government on a high speed rail project.
Start with a Toronto to Montreal line, then expand throughout the Laurentian lowland from there.
Even if Prichard is in charge..

You shouldn't have to put up with crimes like antisocial behaviour.
We know that being able to see a police officer stops crimes from happening and makes people feel safer – that's why we're putting 13,000 more officers on the beat in streets across Britain.

You deserve to feel safe where you live, work and play.
My government will hire more law enforcement officers, secure our borders to keep guns and drugs out, and improve bail and sentencing laws to keep our streets safe: liberal.ca/mark-carneys-libe…

"The politician is quick to seize upon the possibility of capitalizing hostility to either the US or UK, and Canadian nationalism flourishes under these conditions, but it is nationalism in the interest of the short run rather long"
