"Canada is about to spend $2 billion on a Sovereign AI Compute Strategy. The Globe and Mail, the stalwart mouthpiece of Corporate Canada, is running op-eds for the need of a nationalized public AI. The AI Minister seems to be taking the bait while simultaneously taking meetings with Sam Altman who himself has been busy of late. He’s lobbying Ottawa for a piece of that $2 billion while negotiating guardrails with the Canadian AI Minister on the product his company failed to govern when it mattered. All while lifting those same guardrails entirely for his new partner, the US Department of Defence.
But that’s apparently not relevant to the sovereignty conversation."
