Asked about his own use of AI, Carney says he does not use it as much as he would like because of secrecy considerations in our siloed systems.
"But what we are doing as a government is embedding AI and we bought in the former Google CFO and we're transforming how government works and that going to be part of what I'm able to do. We need to rapidly internally restructure how we work as a government." #cdnpoli #AI
So, Carney is totally in the bag for AI.

A new pipeline won’t lead to new jobs in the oil and gas sector.
OK ... I think Albertans already know this - that it's automation that has been increasingly taking over their tarsands jobs for the past 10 - 20 years.
So why do they keep cheering on Pathways Alliance, the 4 biggest members of which (Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Cenovus Energy, ExxonMobil subsidiary Imperial Oil, and Suncor Energy) represent 80% of Canadian oil sands production and are 73% foreign-owned? #cdnpoli
Why is now the time to be boosting the profits of US oil corps just as the rest of Canada is rooting for national sovereignty over our natural resources?

Over on FB which many enviro peeps still use to organize, the head of a Canadian non-profit was bewailing all the polls showing the majority of Canadians want more pipelines and don't give a shit about the environment or the future, and the comments under the post mostly ran to anger and frustration and sadness with how Canadians are apparently mostly just assholes.
So I activated an old FB link and posted a response (with publicly available biography links) showing nearly all our pollsters are owned by conservative image management firms whose directors tweet rw crap on X and represent/lobby for Pathways Alliance while appearing as impartial 'analysts' several times a week on CBC news.
I checked 3 hours later and my post was still there but this morning it's been erased without notice.

@nprofile…h6dl Yeah, billions of public dollars will be going to Pathways Alliance in order to try and make carbon capture credible for the first time anywhere on the planet.
And while we're wasting years of green energy transition and billions of public dollars, the Pathways lobby group - Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial Oil, MEG Energy, & Suncor Energy - reported $30 billion in profits last year.
Meanwhile diehard libstans are all - way to own the Cons, Carney!

So according to this MOU, Dani Smith & Carney & the oil industry will get:
~ approval for as yet imaginary new oil pipeline across northern BC
~ carve-out on BC coast oil tanker ban
~ carve-outs on fed greenhouse gas regulations
~ carve-out on net-zero clean electricity regs
~ carve-out on oil corps doing greenwashing.
and in return the rest of us will get:
~ effective carbon price on large emitters
~ multibillion-dollar investment in carbon capture from Pathways Alliance ... lols #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Well damn if the SPP isn't still around in an office in Washington DC under the aegis of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
Now called the Center for North American Prosperity and Security (CNAPS) - clever swap of Security and Prosperity there! - with all the same North American integration boosters - Derek Burney, John Manley, etc. - who called for "a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter"

Canada’s doctor shortage is no accident. It is policy. We followed the US's lead on this. Medical graduates were discouraged from going into family practice.
In BC in the early 90s, immigrant physicians were not allowed to practice in B.C. and international medical students were made to leave the province after graduation.
