Like many Canadians, I balked at the "AI for All" national strategy produced by the federal government a few weeks ago.

Someone I know personally has been writing for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and has had a few good articles about this:

I'd highly recommend them for accurate and meaningful criticism
