Mark Carney is fumbling on ‘job-killing technologies,’ Avi Lewis charges

Prime Minister Mark Carney wants Canada to be a leader in the artificial intelligence revolution. NDP Leader Avi Lewis is betting Canadians want to pump the brakes. From the Hamilton Harbour to rural Saskatchewan, some communities are pushing back against proposals for massive data centres meant to power the AI boom with billions of dollars in investment despite fears about job impacts and other concerns.

Mark Carney is fumbling on ‘job-killing technologies,’ Avi Lewis charges

The piece frames a political confrontation over Canada’s push to expand AI infrastructure. Carney is presented as pursuing AI leadership, while Lewis argues that the direction of policy and investment could harm jobs—especially for communities that see data-centre proposals as disruptive or insufficiently beneficial locally. It points to resistance efforts in multiple regions and emphasizes the stakes of where large-scale AI projects land, how communities respond, and whether the economic benefits promised by the AI buildout will outweigh the risks that opponents warn could include employment losses.
