The Trump Regime quietly tried to strong arm Canada, to power the Broligarch's AI dream of unlimited energy and freedom cities. Mark Carney jus keeps saying "No."
Imagine if Trump behaved like a real president, more like Mark Carney and less like an entitled brat. How much better the United States could be right now.
If we see leaders as like parents, we would rather have calm reasoned ones than the endless crazy that we get from mentally ill, ill, ill Trump. I am in Europe and was having lunch with a friend, and she said that she was watching what was going on in the US and was glad it was from afar. I too think about why I wanted to retire elsewhere and it is because it is exhausting to have such erratic behavior from ones government. That is how I feel everything Republicans are in power because they always threaten to cut things that I think are essential like health care, and I just got tired of it. So, now I am living somewhere where I am more in sync with the values of what people need and what the government should provide.
I hear you. However, my immigrant husband just arrived here from the US yesterday and I am relieved. For one, if the US makes war on Iran, I do not want to be flying. Thus, I don't want an ocean between my spouse and me. So, I feel just relieved that he got out of the US as a Green card holding scientist who retired because funding dried up from Trump. So, he retired a few months before he wanted to, but I believe he will live longer. I think parts of the world are looking to disentangle from the US.
Once again, having to leave a bunch of ❤️ emojis for PM Carney, who does a masterful job of denying T. —- That our Congress should be doing, but simply cannot! Thanks, Dean, for letting us know what’s happening (and of course another ❤️ for you!)
Canadians must be so much more intelligent - they have managed to have installed an intelligent, mature adult in a position of leadership. 77 million Americans chose to unleash a Pandora-box of hatred, misogyny, narcissism, and greed into our country not once, but twice, and it has infected the globe.
Mark Carney is the King of Calm. If Trump is the ringmaster standing under his own three-ring big top barking orders, Mark Carney is the passerby who can't be persuaded to buy a ticket. That's impressive. 🇨🇦🍁
And Carney is also the king of restraint. Oh how I wish someone… ANYONE who works for the Felonious Squatter would tell him that ‘Now’s the time you get to play golf everyday. No more work’ like you would with a petulant spoiled little child! Which in actuality he is.
The tech bros are trying in nearly every state to get their data centers built but the public has caught on to the millions of gallons of water and extreme utility bills and the harm that would impact their neighborhoods and farmlands!
Go Canada,🇨🇦 one day in the future we’re going to show you again what good neighbors are like‼️
People are rightfully saying a hard no to data centers anywhere near their communities because of the way they jack utility costs and drain all water resources. Anybody with an ounce of sense would say no to that! Go, Canada, indeed!
Not just data centers. Recently a company tried to buy a piece of property by a middle school in the middle of a neighborhood, something to do with either manufacturing or refurbishing batteries of some kind. When potential environmental impacts were revealed -- including not only risks to the water supply but also the potential for catastrophic toxic fumes, etc. -- the neighborhood (and subsequently, the city council) rejected the proposal.
There was a wonderful webinar last night by Europe Calling, a Green Party action of the European Parliament. They have webinars on topics relevant to Europe. This topic last night was super interesting and important discussion of AI and envisioning a way it could be less harmful to people and planet.
Thanks very much, Linda. How interesting. AI data centers are an issue worldwide. It's nice to see some countries taking it seriously and on behalf of their citizens.
I haven’t heard a hard no anywhere. I just keep hearing about more requests. I’m in NC too and I haven’t heard one. Can you cite examples? I know down east they wanted one. What happened with it??
Chandler, AZ's city council voted unanimously against permitting a data center. Lordstown, OH has instituted a 180-day pause for review. Other data center applications in AZ have been withdrawn due to community backlash. It's easy enough to look up online.
Just FYI: Here in NC, Tarboro, Apex and Stokes County have all said no to data centers.
Awesome. I had heard about the Tarboro one but never heard the result. Also heard about one in the Raleigh/Durham area. Must have been Apex. Good for them. I’m so glad to hear they are saying ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Thanks for the info.
Yes, Newsom has refused any big AI developments because we don't have a lot of water, and that water goes for its people and the farmers that raise the food that feeds the US.
I think the AI dream will be a nightmare of a massive surveillance apparatus structured along the lines of the Chinese system to keep tabs on everyone who disagrees with the orange bobble-head.
Part of the feeling is based on Elon Musk's having downloaded all the US Government information on its citizens and selling the access/information back to the feds - once he completes his massive Texas AI data centre, puts it together with the Starlink satellites which will monitor the global internet (Starlink has the most satellites in orbit) and uses AI in GROK to look for you and see if you are faithful to MAGA principles.
I guess I am turning into Winston Smith from 1984!
I watched AOC's speech about the AI bubble. All members of congress, both houses, should be as intelligent and as well spoken as she is. I would vote for her if I was able to.
This is ironic. Drumph is trying to steal Canadian minerals for the American car industry as he simultaneously is letting Chinese auto builders takeover American auto builders. Here goes the last of our Union made Industries being given to China. Deja vu the American Steel industry.
Carney wins the most amazing person in the world right now prize. Canada hit every possible jackpot when they elected him!! Now the rest of the world needs to follow his lead. Anything Dumpster wants, the answer is not just NO but HELL NO and let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I hope Denmark sends the same message today. It’s really too bad they’re meeting with the regime. What a waste of time!!!
AI or not. This is hilarious, and brings down my level of anger (a bit) towards “Trump’s demand for “unlimited access” to explore Canada’s undiscovered MASSIVE lithium and uranium deposits.” FFS. Just fuck off!! And take all your underlings with you, you fat orange faced Piggy. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💪🏼💪🏼👊🏻👊🏻😡😡
If Mark is a father, I bet he’s got some awesome children!!! Trump proves it whenever he has interaction with him!!! Carney is solid unmovable and uses explicit wording and he continues to smile.
PM Carney has 4 children- ALL GIRLS! His wife, Diana Fox Carney is pretty amazing in her own right. They met at Oxford where he was doing his PhD. He was the goalie for Oxford and she played hockey as well. Supposedly he spotted her hockey skills first! How Canadian! They keep their kids private. I only heard one do a speech when he became PM and she looked like a great example of both her parents. From a women's rights standpoint I have faith in him & his party- the Conservative MAGA party- definitely not.
Imagine if Trump behaved like a real president, more like Mark Carney and less like an entitled brat. How much better the United States could be right now.
Actually I don’t think there’s anything he could do that would improve things. He’s not capable of anything but pure evil.
Everything Trump touches dies.
Not soon enough in this case!!
She wrote "IF". As you say, he's INCAPABLE of anything but undiluted evil.
I assume you meant to put he’s incapable of anything BUT pure EVIl.
Thanks! Editing IMMEDIATELY!
truth
Well, I was a bit delusional when I wrote that post.

The problem is that the world is so interconnected these days that physical distance doesn't mean as much as it used to.
I hear you. However, my immigrant husband just arrived here from the US yesterday and I am relieved. For one, if the US makes war on Iran, I do not want to be flying.

I'm glad he's safe with you now.
Thank you!
I’m jealous - lol
Much easier to visualise flying pigs.
Pink Floyd.
The Dark Side of the Moon was better.
Definitely.
That would be awesome!
OR….if we had President Kamala Harris💔🤬💔💔💔💔

Canada is showing how weak Trump is, and how other countries need to act to block Trump’s delusions. Never appease. It never works.
Canadians must be so much more intelligent - they have managed to have installed an intelligent, mature adult in a position of leadership. 77 million Americans chose to unleash a Pandora-box of hatred, misogyny, narcissism, and greed into our country not once, but twice, and it has infected the globe.

Yes Jane, our Midwest state has had several protested and have even won! It’s a very toxic situation
That's awesome. It's the kind of pushback we need!

Wow! That's powerful citizen action. 👏👏

In a few days they will post a video of the talk and one can hear it in English or German.

You'd think the same would apply to Arizona, which is largely desert. They don't have water to spare.
Well said!!
You can bet that the US is no longer a part of "Five Eyes" in any way that counts. They are a security risk.

No. You’re are turning into the guy in the mask from V is for Vendetta.
Important read! This is information we will NOT get from corporate media. Thanks!

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. We needed that.

Real or not, it provides a MUCH needed laugh! Thank you!! 💖🤣💖
Also…. be the hippo!! He looks like he’s going to lose, until he doesn’t! Perfect metaphor for the fight we’re in right now. 👍
