Pretty good!
Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

Yes, speed cameras are a tax grab. They're a tax on people who are breaking the law.

Saw Robert Altman’s Nashville in a theatre today. So much better than watching it at home. Just marvellous.

What social benefit is there to developing this technology? Why spend billions creating a misinformation machine? Just to put film crews and actors out of work? It truly feels like innovation divorced from purpose.
New: TIME reporters were able to use Google’s AI video tool to make convincing videos of Muslims setting fire to a Hindu temple; Chinese researchers handling a bat in a wet lab; and elections worker shredding ballots.

After TIME contacted Google, it began adding a visible watermark to Veo 3 clips
Google’s Veo 3 Can Make Deepfakes of War, Riots, Election Fraud
Google’s Veo 3 lets users make hyper-realistic deepfakes—sparking fears about AI’s role in misinformation online.

My favorite American corollary I learned recently is that Broadway theaters employ more people than the entire American coal industry.
Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has

One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.
Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.
