I’m highly concerned that any announcement of investment in technology by Canada’s Federal Liberal government will actually go to well deserving companies. There’s been too many scandals and mismanagement of funds with no oversight into how the money is used. The latest one being the ArriveCan scandal (spending $60 million on an app hosting a webform with no track of where the money went to). https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/companies-at-heart-of-a...

Be careful what you say online! Justin Trudeau and Christie Freeland have already shown their willingness to freeze bank accounts and in prison people who demonstrate/Protest against their actions! There is also a new law I believe it's C1 I could be wrong on that number but anyways it's about what you can and cannot say online and the accompanying punishments… I guess they need to develop the AI now in order to track down all the dissident!So all hail are benevolent leader with Great hair!

This is satire, right?

No, people actually believe this is the case due to stuff like this [0]

I only hope that it isn't like other funding where someone sets up shop takes funding then goes "oh, no more funding guess I'll close the Canadian office and move south"

Grab a bag.
