27. Palantir en Canadá: Preocupaciones por Contratos Gubernamentales y Vigilancia de Ciudadanos

1. Contratos y Presencia de Palantir en el Gobierno Canadiense.

Numerosas publicaciones expresan preocupación por los contratos de Palantir con el gobierno canadiense, tanto a nivel federal como provincial, y su inclusión en la lista de proveedores de IA precalificados. Se destaca la conexión de la empresa con figuras políticas influyentes y su potencial impacto en la soberanía de los datos canadienses.

"been saying this for a while: palantir holds multiple federal, public and private contracts in canada. They have way too much data, way too much power.".
"yeah also, palantir us(!) is on the list of pre-qualified ai suppliers for the canadian government.".
"hey canada we really need to dump palantir contracts asap. They have multiple contracts with our public and private sector, including canadian law enforcement and our federal gov't.".
"the canadian department of national defence signed a 14m contract with palantir in early 2020 to use its gotham software for information processing and data management".

2. David MacNaughton y la Conexión Política.

Se menciona repetidamente a David MacNaughton, presidente de Palantir Canadá y ex embajador de Canadá en Estados Unidos, como una figura clave en la conexión entre la empresa y el gobierno canadiense. Su participación en el consejo del Primer Ministro para las relaciones Canadá-EE.UU. genera inquietud sobre posibles conflictos de interés.

"carney’s advisor and former ford mpp macnaughton runs palantir canada and the canadian ai darling is connected to them. Not a sovereign system.".
"once again, the fact that palantir canada does work for canadian govts and is led by canada's former ambassador to the us should be causing great concern. Where are the stories on this?".
"the president of palantir canada, david macnaughton, is on our prime minister's council on canada-u.s. Relations. This is an international issue!".
"president of palantir canada is on pm carney's council on canada-u.s. Relations: carney & freeland have been pushing for our pension funds to invest in ai data centers: and recently, this:".
"makes me wonder if canada’s former ambassador to the us david macnaughton is still the president of palantir canada".

3. Preocupaciones sobre Vigilancia y Privacidad de Datos.

Existe una preocupación generalizada de que la colaboración entre Palantir y el gobierno canadiense pueda conducir a una mayor vigilancia de los ciudadanos y a la erosión de la privacidad de los datos. Se menciona la posible influencia de Peter Thiel, cofundador de Palantir, y sus vínculos con figuras políticas conservadoras en Estados Unidos.

"palantir canada sits on mark carney’s / relations board. Peter theil is jd vance’s financier. The company’s exclusive mandate is for citizen surveillance. Why would mark carney make them part of the canadian government?".
"with palantir at the top of the tech fascist food chain and their involvement with us republican politics and ice, it’s scary to think how deeply embedded they are in canada. Thiel hates democracies, and he supports project 2025.".
"woah! private data from canadians going to private company and genocide enabler palantir!".
"the owners of palantir have openly admitted their lust for killing. Drunk on power companies like this can't be trusted. Canada can no longer partner with the usa.".
"the us surveillance state at work. This should be a powerful example to canada & minister solomon: (1) don’t get into bed with palantir / similar, no matter how much lovely big, innovative, efficient ai they promise; (2) pass strong privacy laws immediately.".

4. Llamados a la Acción y Resistencia.

Varios usuarios instan al gobierno canadiense a rescindir los contratos con Palantir, eliminarla de la lista de proveedores de IA aprobados y tomar medidas para proteger la soberanía de los datos canadienses. Se expresan llamamientos a la vigilancia y la resistencia contra la creciente influencia de la empresa en Canadá.

"the problem is palantir which is a us company that needs to go. You can’t keep it out of canada. It’s also the company that provides strategic planning ai to israel. It’s part of the dark enlightenment project. Yarvin, thiel etc must be stopped.".
"and . Take them off the approved ai vendors list and kick the prez of palantir canada off -carney.'s council on canada-u.s. Relations".
"we need palantir out of canada. They are a dangerous entity in our world.".
"time to close down palantir in canada!! "palantir is actively involved in canada, providing its data analytics and software platforms to both public and private sector clients.".
"if we are truly a country that respects law and order, might be a good idea for canada to investigate/ban palantir technologies from operating on our soil with their ties to the trump admin's kidnapping and internment of immigrants in concentration camps. What tf are we doing?".

5. La Conexión con Cohere y la Inteligencia Artificial.

Se menciona la asociación de Palantir con la empresa canadiense de IA Cohere, lo que genera preocupación sobre el uso de la IA para la vigilancia y el control de los ciudadanos. Se cuestiona si esta colaboración es compatible con la protección de la soberanía digital canadiense.

"canadians need to realize that palantir, peter thiel’s company, has contracts with our government and is working with cohere, which has police contracts in ab and ontario.".
"saying coherepalantir undermines the true amount of damage that this company can do on its own. I'm calling for nuance. Many levels of government in both us and canada already have direct contracts with palantir. And flock. And google and meta.".
"as cohere (which is palantir) gets embedded with the federal government, the president of palantir canada was just named chairman of "therme", currently pretending to build a "spa" at ontario place.".
"any story about cohere working for the federal government should include reporting on its relationship with palantir. And the government should be pressed to explain a related point: how protecting canadian digital sovereignty is compatible with allowing palantir to bid on canadian contracts.".
"cohere is quietly working with palantir to deploy its ai models the canadian ai startup has quietly partnered with palantir to put cohere's models in use with unnamed palantir customers.".
