🇨🇦 Carney speaks to Pope Leo about artificial intelligence as government prepares AI strategy

Carney is talking about protecting humanity from AI while Ottawa gets ready to expand the very machinery that collects data, manages speech, and wraps control in the language of care. The PMO says he told Pope Leo Canada wants to lead internationally on responsible AI for the global community, which is exactly the kind of borderless managerial slogan that usually means Canadians get less say while technocrats get more. Even the Pope warned about mass data collection, intrusive technologies, and control over consciences, as reported.

And there it is: the Trudeau-era state never dies, it just gets a sleeker interface. Evan Solomon is about to unveil an AI strategy sold as safety and competitiveness, after scrutiny over chatbots and public-sector adoption. Translation: more federal reach, more digital supervision, more elite promises that this time the tools will serve the people. Ottawa never meets a new technology without imagining how to centralize it. Canada does not need another global leadership fantasy. It needs hard limits, actual sovereignty, and a government that fears building systems of control more than it fears missing the next Davos fad.
