Putting People & Planet First in AI Policy

With Canada’s Liberal Government going “ALL IN” on American, Corporate-Run Artificial Intelligence (AI) with no consideration for the harms it will cause Canadians, we need People & Planet First AI Policies.

Strong Health & Environmental Rules for AI Data Centres

No data centre in Nanaimo, Etobicoke, or anywhere in Canada should go ahead without strict federal environmental regulations that protect local communities’ health and preserve our planet’s energy and water.

“Right now, there’s nothing stopping this mystery company from building a data centre in our community, no matter how bad it might be for us, our nature, our health. Tanille’s ideas are what we need to protect us.”

- Julie, Resident of Nanaimo, BC

Tax AI Profit for the Public Good

Tech giants, especially those in the U.S., make billions using our data and resources. It’s time to tax the profits they make off of Canada and Canadians, and then reinvest that money into our people, workers, and climate protection.

Protect Canadian Workers from AI-Driven Layoffs

AI should be used to assist, not replace workers. That means working with unions to minimize job loss while ensuring we keep up with the times. Let’s focus on AI that improves our lives, like cancer screening, deforestration tracking, and accessibility, not exploitation.
