🇨🇦 New Brunswick gets AI legislators now

The sharpest part is not that Bill Oliver used AI. It is that he read the prompts out loud and still managed to survive politically. A 40-minute speech in the legislature, complete with Here’s a more natural-flowing version, and the Progressive Conservatives shrug like this is just a quirky office mishap, as reported. Translation: the people paying these salaries are now funding glorified text-to-speech seat warmers.

Glen Savoie says everyone is human and the caucus will draft an AI policy for its 16 members. Of course they will. In modern Canadian politics, failure does not trigger accountability, it triggers a policy framework. Liberals have no policy, Greens pretend to be horrified, and the whole class keeps proving the same point: too many of these people are interchangeable managers reading pre-fab scripts instead of representing actual citizens. If your MLA cannot deliver his own thoughts without accidentally reciting machine instructions, maybe the machine is not the problem. The vacancy behind the podium is.
