🇨🇦 $150M for AI panic, while Canada declines

Ottawa just handed $150 million to LawZero because the same AI priesthood that built the machine is now warning it might kill us all. Yoshua Bengio sounds the alarm, Evan Solomon poses beside him, Germany throws in another 100 million euros, and taxpayers get the bill for elite techno-theology dressed up as public safety, as reported. The sales pitch is rich: Canada needs sovereign AI capability, so naturally the answer is more state cash, more global coordination, and more bureaucrats hovering over code they barely understand.

This is the Carney-Trudeau model in one photo op: manufacture fear, centralize control, subsidize insiders. While housing cracks, productivity stalls, and mass immigration keeps crushing wages and infrastructure, Ottawa finds hundreds of millions for speculative guardrails around a technology mostly controlled by American and Chinese giants. Sovereignty, in their vocabulary, means Canadians fund a non-profit in Montreal while global bodies and political managers decide the rules. Same old script, shinier toy.
