Councillour @lennynanzhou.bsky.social added an amendment, which ABC also passed, to fund some core services by sacrificing energy retrofits. This funding would have been spent installing life-saving heat pumps in SROs & low-income housing. Instead, more people will die in the next heat dome. 3/

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.
If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.
The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

For every carefree, "Don't stress, things always work themselves out!" person there is at least one extremely anxious, detail-oriented, forward-thinking loved one or coworker who has spent years behind the scenes making sure things work out

Vancouver’s climate leadership is a promise we can’t break

If GenAI was truly “inevitable” and “the future,” you wouldn’t have rich executives putting out statements like this again and again. They know how unpopular it is (even as they’re ignorant of it crumbling around them), and keep trying to browbeat us into accepting it. They won’t succeed.

"The risk to our country is not that Canadians will be too cautious in embracing AI, but that our government will act too rashly, tying our democracy, prosperity, security, sovereignty and collective well-being to a questionable product and its reckless promoters."
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is ramping up its drive for AI glory while deepening an alignment with Canada’s own “tech bros” movement. Christopher Holcroft writes. #canpoli
Say Hi to Tech Bro Carney | The Tyee
As his government heedlessly embraces artificial intelligence, the threats to Canadians are clear.
