Very enlightening article Al. Your strategy for the Feds and AI makes good sense to an admittedly low information person. Wish you and your company best success is this very necessary AI journey. Let’s hope we as a country figure this shit out and do what is right instead of playing the usual political games to the detriment of Canada
You're asking (passionately) for a government which is capable of actually doing big things with urgency, doing those things transparently and fairly, and being accountable for the actual progress made.
That is NOT this government.
THIS government is focused on selling Canadians on a Utopian future which is somehow always just around the corner, a government which invariably structures whatever programs it introduces in such a way as to ensure that its friends prosper, and a government which would not recognize accountability if it walked up and bit them on the nose.
Kudos to The Line for publishing this, and Al Vigier for writing it.
The thought that the Canadian government ("Pentagon North", a.k.a. DND in particular) should be "quietly" supporting Palantir and, by extension, the ideology peddled by the company's principal and founder, Peter Thiel, is disturbing, to say the least.
💯 I sincerely hope someone with the power to change this ‘strategy’ reads this and heeds it. And the PBO and auditor general as well. Opposition critics of all three parties PLEASE take note and hold this government’s feet to the fire. We can’t afford to screw this up.
I can think of nothing more troubling than government getting its unserious hands on this technology. Why ... they will be telling us who gets to use it! How cool is that?

Big ask, is what I'm saying.

Is Pierre Poilievre aware of this.
Another instance of a case where government does not need to be poking its bureaucratic nose.
