'AI will destroy more jobs than it will create': Tiff Tiff Macklem

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned at a ceremony on Friday that artificial intelligence could have a disruptive effect on the economy and could eliminate far more jobs than it is thought to create. Macklem said that careful study is needed to learn about the unknown effects of this technique. In the AI conference organized by the National Bureau of Economic Research in Toronto, he said that there is still a lot of uncertainty about where artificial intelligence will take us. As AI becomes embedded in the economy, its impact will be transformative and may eliminate more jobs than it i

Jagmeet Singh was furious at the wrong comments made by the protesters

The case of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh making inappropriate comments by two protesters outside the parliament yesterday has sparked a debate on increasing the security of MPs and federal party leaders. On Tuesday, when Jagmeet Singh was walking out of Parliament, a protester called him a corrupt, bastard, using foul language. However, as soon as Jagmeet Singh turned around, he surrounded the two protestors and asked who said that they refused. On this, the NDP leader retaliated and said that you do not have the courage to criticize in front. These protestors were also telling Jagmeet Singh whe

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces $8.6-billion in school builds

She says often the only thing holding back cash is school boards getting projects and sites ready for construction. The government is also changing the process of approving construction funding so school boards don't need to wait eve
