Part 1. Technocracy promised Depression-weary Canadians an end to their hardship. But the offer came with a catch. The lecture introduced the young man to a radical new doctrine that seemed to satisfy his yearning for a scientific solution to the world’s problems. Technocracy’s adherents claimed it would eliminate want by putting power in the hands of a capable few — not politicians, but an elite group of engineers and technicians, known as the Technocrats. https://www.canadashistory.ca/explore/politics-law/the-last-utopians

For a while now, emerging AI has been treated by the Biden-Harris administration, but also the EU, the UK, Canada, the UN, etc., as a scourge that powers dangerous forms of “disinformation” – and should be dealt with accordingly. According to those governments/entities, the only “positive use” for AI as far as social media and online discourse go, would be to power more effective censorship (“moderation”). https://reclaimthenet.org/us-house-report-ai-censorship-first-amendment

President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all goods and services from Canada, Trade between Canada and the US is the largest of any two nations, with cross-border trade totaling $926 billion in 2023—roughly $2.5 billion daily. This dark tariff reality for Trudeau of not responding adequately to Trump's border security demand risks pushing Canada into an economic crisis. The new border proposal outlines the deployment of drones, helicopters, and other advanced technologies along the 5,525-mile northern border. David Asher, who previously led a Trump-era task force on fentanyl, commented on the border proposal. He appeared on CBC News Network earlier this week to share his insights. "US law enforcement has a lot of sources telling us - that not only the Mexican cartels are setting up operations in Canada - but also Chinese organized crime - and even Iranian organized crime..." He stated that all three organizations were tied into a massive bust in Vancouver of drugs and chemicals equal to more than 95 million pills. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-era-official-blasts-canada-over-fentanyl-super-labs-transnational-crime-gangs

What effects will a declining Canadian dollar have on the Canadian economy? President-elect Trump’s threatened trade actions against Canada could also exert further downward pressure on the loonie, especially if the Bank of Canada responds to Trump’s actions by making additional rate cuts. For context, it took $1.33 Canadian dollars to purchase one U.S. dollar on January 1, 2024, compared to $1.43 Canadian dollars on December 13, 2024. This represents a substantial depreciation in the Canadian dollar’s value of approximately 7.6 per cent over the period. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/declining-canadian-dollar-could-stifle-productivity-growth-canada
