Sovereignty seems more propaganda than reality in Canada's AI strategy considering: how connected Canadian AI companies currently are with US companies, the Sovereignty Technology Alliance purpose of attracting foreign investment, & Canada's defense deal with Palantir announced just this week.
This strategy focuses on Canada getting a piece of the profit, not on how this is/will affect the people this government is supposed to serve. There's a focus on investment & implementation of AI but no explanation for the metrics used to determine which products are invested in, or plans to track their effectiveness.  While there's some training & upskilling plans there's no measures preventing mass layoffs or plans to have social safety nets in place for ppl affected.

Black background with white text that reads " War always brings immediate human suffering. It also poisons the land and water, destroys ecosystems and accelerates climate breakdown." Then below is yellow text that reads "There is no climate justice without peace, and no lasting peace without human rights."
Purple background with black text that says "Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew's policy of temporary incarceration & Premier David Eby's expansion of involuntary "care" despite push back from medical, mental health & addiction professionals, the civil liberties association, & public policy professionals, scares me. It shows a lack of understanding of the various causes of public outbursts & an unwillingness to address systemic issues, but instead focuses on removing people struggling from sight."
Green background with black text that reads "Winter Vegetable Stew Ingredients (amounts vary on pot size & taste): carrot, onion, celery (for accessibility I use a bag of pre-chopped frozen mix), frozen chopped spinach, potatoes, mini soya wadi, minced garlic, vegetable broth/bouillon & water, Italian seasoning blend, marinara sauce or diced tomatoes, soy sauce, & mushroom gravy packet"
Pink & blue background with black lettering that reads "BEFORE YOU SHARE THAT POST ABOUT "HORMONES TRANS PEOPLE TAKE CAUSING VIOLENCE" - PLEASE PAUSE. The medications used in gender-affirming care are primarily estrogen, testosterone and hormone blockers -the same medications prescribed to cisgender people for things like: Birth control Menopause HRT IVF and fertility treatments Low testosterone If these medications caused violence, we would have noticed. realmamabears.org"
Black text on abstract background reads "Building community is a process, especially when many of us grow up being taught that relationships are divided into family, friends & partners, & that marriage is the ultimate goal. But we're learning that friendships can be life long bonds, can be familial, romantic or sexual. Relationships of all kinds can change, grow deeper or distant, end or begin again. Love is not a zero sum game. We benefit from multiple meaningful connections."
White text on black background that says "There's nuance to processed foods: -Processing foods is a way to add nutrients (like high fiber bread) -Processed foods are more accessible for people with dietary restrictions, disabilities or limited time (like frozen vegetables) -Processed foods can help address animal abuse by providing alternatives to animal products (like oat milk) -Processed foods can contain ingredients in amounts that are hard for the body to digest & that can harm health if ingested too consistently (like soda) Instead of making people fearful of all processed foods we need improved regulations & enforcement on food quality, accurate nutritional education, & to address barriers to food security"
Black background with white text that reads "What keeps me going in this time is seeing that even as things get worse, things can also get better. People responding to financial pressure & environmental disasters with community building & stewardship.Responding to increased danger, to people next door or across oceans, with increasing connections & methods to help protect each other. Finally understanding that we can't reform systems of harm, & calling for abolition, & new systems that improve quality of life for all."
White text on black background that reads "There's a growing awareness of the divide between neoliberal government's attempts to lower spending by selling off essential public services (like transit, electricity, healthcare, postal service ect.) to private companies, & citizens needing essential public services adequately funded to maintain quality & accessibility of those services. While there are countries who enjoy relatively stable prices & a growing job market from state ownership of essential public services & new projects, Canada continues to see costs increase for citizens, & more demand for subsidies & migrant workers from private companies. At what point will the Canadian government fundamentally change policy or if that is even possible within the context of the current Canada- US relationship remains to be seen."

Colorful abstract circles background with a post by @satrayreads that says "I really resonate with how Ruth Wilson Gilmore talks about abolition. She says that abolition is a presence. It's not just the absence of policing and imprisonment and surveillance. It's also, and maybe more importantly, the presence of life affirming institutions and social relations rooted in real care. Ruth Wilson Gilmore also says that abolition doesn't tell us what we have to do but orients us in our struggle. We know what we are working toward by how we get there will require all of us putting our heads together, imagining alternatives to the death-dealing institutions we currently have, and being better to each other."
White text on black background that reads "Carney's speech condemns living within a lie while remaining silent on what truth would actually require of Canada. Canada is a settler colonial state whose legitimacy and prosperity are built on exemption from law and extracted wealth from land."
black text on a green background reads "Feel Better Vegan Noodle Soup Ingredients: Carrot, onion, celery, garlic, vegetable broth/bouillon & water, soy crumbles, noodles, Italian seasoning blend, chili pepper flakes & soy sauce. Directions: For accessibility I use a frozen package of pre chopped carrot, onion & celery, cooked in a pot with some oil till the onions are soft, then add in minced garlic, let that cook for a minute or two then add in your soy crumbles, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, a splash or two of soy sauce, & fill the rest of pot till it's 3/4 full with vegetable broth/bouillon & water. Bring soup to boil then add in noodles, cook till noodles are soft, add salt & pepper to taste & serve."
Posted by The Nutrition Tea on Instagram. black words on white background reads: "Superfoods, clean foods, and detox foods, are marketing terms that we get when we want to sensationalize fruits fruits and vegetables for profit. In other words these don't exist."
