The strategy comes as governments, businesses and civil society navigate the rapid development of machine learning and tools that can process information almost instantly \u2014 with varying degrees of accuracy.<\/p>\n

Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said this week the government’s new strategy will look to build trust in AI, empower workers and help build Canada.<\/p>\n

The government has said new privacy and online safety laws will be an important element of building that trust.<\/p>\n

How high pandemic-period immigration papered over the cracks in Canada’s economy<\/p>\n

Critics say the link between weak economic data and declining immigration rates shows how high immigration masked Canada’s economic challenges over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that when immigration and population growth drops, the gross domestic product declines as well.<\/p>\n

Nathan Janzen, a Royal Bank of Canada economist, says high immigration rates in 2023 and 2024 “absolutely” helped to prop up Canada’s GDP in the face of other economic headwinds, such as post-pandemic inflation.<\/p>\n

He says Canada is in a unique situation because its sharp cut in population growth will make the economy look weaker than it is.<\/p>\n

B.C. Review Board grants conditional discharge for child killer Allan Schoenborn<\/p>\n

The British Columbia Review Board has granted a conditional discharge for a man convicted in the brutal slayings of his three children.<\/p>\n

Chairperson Genevi\u00e8ve Boudreau says Allan Schoenborn is to attend a psychiatric clinic for treatment and stay at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C., if ordered to do so by the board.<\/p>\n

Boudreau’s written disposition says Schoenborn must also report any intimate relationships, he must be on good behaviour, and not possess or use any weapons or drugs.<\/p>\n

In 2010, Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for the stabbing and smothering of his three children \u2014 aged five, eight and 10 \u2014 at their Merritt, B.C., home in 2008.<\/p>\n

New Yorker poetry editor Kevin Young wins Griffin Poetry Prize<\/p>\n

Young took home the award at a poetry reading at Toronto’s Koerner Hall on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jurors call the collection his most experimental so far and praise it as “melancholic and haunting,” tackling loneliness, grief and “racial legacies that are deeply American.”<\/p>\n

Young has written 16 books of poetry and prose, and hosts the New Yorker’s “Poetry Podcast.”<\/p>\n
