Avi Lewis (@avilewis@mstdn.ca): "Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime [...] Why is Canada handing nearly $50 million in public money to this creepy company?"

submitted by grte to ndp 51 points | 1 comments https://mstdn.ca/@avilewis/116682568983630580 Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes. CEO Alex Karp’s recent online manifesto is a truly disturbing, supremacist screed. One UK MP said it “sounds like the ramblings of a supervillain.” The city of London, England recently canceled a contract with Palantir. Why is Canada handing nearly $50 million in public money to this creepy company? Doing business through a secretive contract with this MAGA-aligned tech giant is totally incompatible with the Prime Minister’s promise to defend Canadian sovereignty. theijf.org/…/canadian-palantir-contract-amendment… (Mirror)
