@mayintoronto@beige.party "Productivity Mega Deduction" 🤢

@hamishb@mstdn.ca @mayintoronto@beige.party It feels like Carney is offering up our present by advertising our people and land as resources, and our future by cutting tax revenue sources and coopting various big pension boards. So many problems in the US come in some form from the massive corporate and capital gains tax cuts from the Reagan era...and we're just jumping off that cliff, too.

Like many Canadians, I balked at the "AI for All" national strategy produced by the federal government a few weeks ago.

Someone I know personally has been writing for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and has had a few good articles about this:

• https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/magnifica-technologia-seven-key-takeaways-from-canadas-new-ai-strategy/
• https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/whose-artificial-intelligence/

And most recently, this podcast episode on #TechWontSaveUs:

https://techwontsave.us/episode/333_canadas_government_is_rushing_ai_adoption_w_hadrian_mertins_kirkwood

I'd highly recommend them for accurate and meaningful criticism
