WOW.. I'm a little mind blown by the speed in which I received a response from my PM's office.. but I have in fact, 11 mins ago, gotten a very courteous reply to my Tuesdays AI email wherein was advised that it has been forwarded to our Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency how awesome is THAT..

EXCERPT: On behalf of the Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated October 13, 2026.

The Prime Minister values feedback and suggestions from Canadians, and he appreciates the time you have taken to offer your views. Please be assured that your communication has been received and carefully read.

At the federal level, responsibility for the issue you raise rests with the Minister of AI and for this reason, I am sharing your remarks with the Minister for information and consideration.

WOW huh.. so.. seems reaching out to those in charge is acknowledged and appreciated.. so please.. I encourage EVERYone to reach out to your respective heads of state/country to air your opinions.. seems our concerns do have validity and our voices CAN be heard..

binge watched all 6 episodes of Dustfall 2026 miniseries starring Anna Torv and Jay Ryan

Detective Tig returns to her coastal hometown and uncovers drink-spiking assaults, pushing her into a dangerous investigation where hidden predators and broken systems threaten the truth.

it's an australian series that although held it's cards close to it's chest, wasn't quite as good as holding it's secrets of "who donnit" to the very end.. sadly I figured out who the culprits were all too quickly.. there were so many tells..

anywho.. IMDb gave this a 7.7.. I concur with the assessment

I'm assuming that's a hockey reference??

yeah.. I don't do sports.. sorry..

anywho.. mornin peeps'n lurkers

it's a be-u-tiful day in da hood.. suns out.. highs are 54F today.. yessiree.. music to ma ears.. time for a lil country walk.. yup..

anywho.. hope everyone has a great day.. I'm out..

Dut.. this looks very promising indeed..

I'm really glad the partnership has been renewed.. this was the "understanding" I had and I was hoping for an announcement soon but on THE day I wrote to my PM? how very serendipitous huh..

PM Carney has taken great strides to renew our connections with Europe and so far, they all seem extremely positive.. especially now with all the threats coming up from our longest friend and ally, the USA.. which saddens me deeply.. the rhetoric is disappointing, disheartening and maddening all at the same time.. but we will not succumb to bullying and are forced to extend our hand elsewhere to solidify our economy.. not that we haven't had relations in the past with Europe, we are simply broadening those relationships to secure our future..

however the future of AI is so precarious at this stage and I'm very glad that the "five eyes partnership" is taking the threats seriously.. the thoughts of a present day "skynet" are absolutely terrifying.. and yes.. we should all keep abreast of the advancements and securities being done on AI.. there are however a few countries that terrify me the most, as their leaders (dictators & zealots) may not see the inevitable destruction their 'race to the finish line' might create by running in half co-cked..

what's with all they flyby weirdo's??

anywho.. I'm late.. ma sista called WOOHOO..

so hope everyone had a good day and is enjoyin the evening

happy wednesday folks..

our daytime temps are sticking in the 50's with nighttime temps hitting the 40's.. true fall weather.. and I won't complain cuz my sleep is finally becoming more restful.. doesn't hurt that I've eliminated a few stresses in my life as well

anywho.. gotta get back to it so hope everyone has a super day

I completely agree with our need to air our concerns.. and I assume we here in Canada have those in charge of our AI development as well.. I do know there are talks with other countries on those developments and believe the UK is in those discussions as well.. at least that is my understanding..

what's been happening and what WILL happen this year so far in AI..

the newest viewed.. it's 22:47 long.. this is absolutely crazy..

wow.. that was over 60 years ago and they had the foresight then to see what might come to pass in the future.. how crazy is that huh..

I for one have emailed directly our Canadian Prime Minister expressing my concerns of overlooking safeguards on AI.. I'm sincerely hoping the concerns will be noted and addressed.. I'm aware he no doubt does not read them himself but I WOULD hope the concern will be forwarded on to him as valid..

I'm glad you're reading that book.. now perhaps you see the dangerous possibility of being eradicated by a machine.. and where a possibility could definitely lead to a probability..

mornin peeps 'n lurkers

it's a cold 'n rainy day in da hood.. it's definitely a fall day.. leaves are dropping like crazy and the farmers are out tilling their fields after reaping the crops.. furnace has kicked in more than usual, obviously cuz of the cold and damp.. but now it's time to focus on the inside of the house.. so more laundry today and the kitchen needs a good cleaning as do the floors (wearing my rubber boots and trodding thru the house all summer can cause the tiles to get a tad messy) one thing at a time tho.. hope everyone has a good day..

yeah.. lucky you..

day's almost done and I'm heading ta bed ta watch a show or 2.. or until I pass out which shouldn't take too long.. anywho.. hope everyone had a great day..


oh wow.. I forgot.. Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canucks!! enjoy your evening all
