Money for child care and hospitals will deliver far more positive economic and social impacts than handing out cash to private companies for yet more data centres. But for now, Carney is committing to blowing public money into the private AI bubble regardless of the potential long-term impact on workers and the economy.

Canada’s weak response to the US’s invasion of Venezuela proves that this is not a world where states even feign caring about international law.
