Jesus. Minister of AI?
He sounds like he’s trying to sell AI to Canad more than regulate it. Fucking sellout.
Fun fact, when Carney was the governor at the Bank of Canada, Evan Solomon was a CBC reporter using his access to high-profile/rich people to do a wildly unethical side-hustle of brokering art sales, including to Carney.
In other words, “salesman” is bang on
You were downvoted. Maybe because people want to have a source?
Though I wouldn’t find it hard to believe.
“A spokesperson for the Bank of England issued a statement early Wednesday on behalf of Carney saying the governor “has no enduring professional relationship with” Solomon and that he “never comments on matters relating to his personal life.””

In email correspondence between Solomon and art collector Bruce Bailey, Solomon uses code words to disguise the identity of each man: Carney is “the Guv” and Balsillie is “Anka,” the latter an apparent reference to a similarity in looks with singer Paul Anka.
In one email exchange from 2014 — after Carney made a purchase — Solomon tells his art collector partner that Carney’s international contacts will be very important as they move forward in their attempts to sell more paintings.
“Next year in terms of the Guv will be very interesting. He has access to highest power network in the world,” Solomon writes.
etc.
Yeah i dunno why someone downvoted, it’s very easy to search for this widely reported story. I do find that the Carney cultists are very MAGA-like (or Blue MAGA-like) in their pathological inability to look at valid criticism rationally though, so maybe it’s that.
