The Canadian government isn’t just shovelling billions of dollars into the furnace of the AI hype machine, it’s also hoping to build far more highly resource-intensive data centres. They’re chasing Silicon Valley’s dreams, not thinking about what’s best for the public.

Oil giants are paying Google to shield them from critics. Here's the latest example. When people Google whether an oil sands group called Pathways Alliance is "greenwashing" the first link that appears is the Pathways website. desmog.com/2024/04/18/pat…

It's been a little while since I shared these charts, but the North Atlantic sea surface temperature has been breaking record highs for 411 consecutive days now. It's presently 0.22°C above the previous record (2023), and the 1991-2020 mean feels like a long-gone climate era now.

NEW: The Doug Ford gov't says it is overruling the independent Ontario Energy Board to keep housing affordable. FOI docs about this decision reveal senior officials ignored legal advice & considered the 'substantial' costs to Enbridge & developers thenarwhal.ca/ontario-energy… #onpoli

Mayor Horwath seconded by Cllr McMeekin brings forward compromise to #HamOnt GIC - go with staff recommended "option 2" (private operator) for 5 years and then consider transition to "option 4" (HSR operation) after preparing to do so.

@JohnPaulDanko @keeptransitpub @tammyhwang Clr @alexwilson96 asked Michael Murray (former Waterloo CAO) if he knew what the profit margin of the Waterloo LRT was. Mr. Murray did not know. Privatization in a nutshell folks. Let's blindly trust that the folks trying to maximize profit will allocate resources effectively.

Taking publicly funded anything and rendering it into private, for-profit anything is privatization.

Nearing debate on the operations model for the Hamilton LRT. I really hope we don't end up hearing councillors give empty speeches saying "we need to get the LRT built" while they turn their backs on working class Hamiltonians in favour of privatization #KeepTransitPublic #HamOnt

Now we're being told that it's positive that #HamOnt will be the passenger interface provider because then our fare enforcement agents can show discretion when dealing with marginalized individuals.

Grateful for my MP and MPP. They make some excellent points about ensuring LRT is built inclusively so that it benefits all Hamiltonians. Today's decision about whether or not the City runs LRT will have a huge influence on its future success. #HamOnt thespec.com/opinion/contri…

Staff presentation appears to have added Waterloo ION consultant's "lessons learned" (pro P3) presentation to theirs. Michael Murray will be presenting at the end. Why is the city prioritizing a private consultant in this decision making? How much time for questions will he get?
