Oh good more ways to bill the taxpayers $10,000 CAD/hr to make a basic mobile app with just enough "AI" sprinkled throughout its API

This government just does not learn after ArriveCan and the perils of government led funding outside the military.

Outside the military? Is military spending a beacon of efficiency and results/clam now?

no but the end product is very clear and the only buyer in town knows exactly what they want. sure there are inflated billing/poor efficiencies but at the end of the day, its national security we are talking about here, there's more tolerance there.

Exactly. If they really wanted to help the AI sector, it would be to reduce taxes lol. These socialist governments are _crazy_.

Reducing taxes would definitely go a long way in Canada but they decided they want to "appoint" people closer to its political circle via affiliation or perceived affliction (for political ammo against conservatives).

It makes no sense that a billionaires/specified groups can "own" salmons in BC, just like it was one billionaire that was "allowed" to own a gaming license.

Canadians love to look down on other countries with oligarchs they dont even realize or admit they live in far worse system: housing serfdom + oligarchs
