Time for PM Carney to deliver tangible results

Public opinion analysts say Canadians are not in a partisan mood—they want Mark Carney to succeed. Yet unlike in ordinary times, when politics fades in between elections, Canadians are paying close attention now because their economic livelihoods are at stake. For Carney, the time for promises is over. He must begin delivering tangible results—before it’s too late.

Since winning office, Prime Minister Mark Carney, centre, pictured with Housing Minister Gregor Robertson, right, on Sept. 14, 2025, announcing the Build Canada Homes project, has announced major projects aimed at creating jobs and jumpstarting growth. But so far, the results have yet to materialize, and public patience is wearing thin. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

Calls to fold chatbots into online harms legislation requires different framework: treating AI-mediated emotional support as a relationship

OpinionBY SOPHIE NUNNELLEY
  • With a new national AI strategy forthcoming, the question is whether this government will use that opportunity to ask what role we want AI to play in mental health care—or whether it will settle for summoning tech executives to Ottawa and expressing disappointment.
