Update episode on the Carney government's national AI strategy, "AI for All," released June 4, 2026. The document's most-used word is "sovereignty" — appearing 51 times — while "emissions," "climate," "consent," "Palantir," and "Amazon" appear nada.
I trace the political etymology of "sovereignty" from First Nations liberation discourse through working-class populism to its current deployment by the Davos class as branding for capital accumulation. I also examine AI Minister Evan Solomon's performance on CBC Front Burner, where he dodged nine accountability questions in thirty minutes using the word "trust" as a revolving door.
Finally, a look at Dr. Jason Edward Lewis's Indigenous AI epistemology framework and the concept of "data colonization." Because the familiar crime now reanimated against Indigenous communities through AI infrastructure is a template for what is coming for us all.
