BREAKING: Last Generation Canada supporter arrested for disrupting Canada’s largest AI event

Today, a supporter of Last Generation Canada disrupted ALL IN, Canada's largest AI event, by taking the stage in Montréal to deliver a speech condemning the industry's ties to the climate crisis. This action follows a string of recent escalations from the anti-AI movement, including the All Out demonstration and broken windows at Mila - Québec AI Institute.

The group is demanding that the Canadian government implement a billionaire tax and create a legally binding citizens' assembly to allocate the resulting funds to climate change mitigation. The climate crisis is the biggest threat humanity has ever faced, driven above all by the wealthiest and by big corporations, and fixing it requires a radical redistribution of power, with wealth taken from the richest and redirected to meaningful climate action.

Starting at around 4:30 p.m. ET, Nico, a supporter of Last Generation Canada, disrupted ALL IN by taking the stage to deliver a speech. As of 8:00 p.m., Nico remains detained by police.

It's clear: billionaires, tech CEOs, and fossil fuel companies are waging war on humanity. The climate crisis is decimating lives across the world and here in Canada. Meanwhile, in Montréal, the ultra-rich gathered at ALL IN to celebrate AI and its promise of profit while Canada burns. Data centres and the AI industry are accelerating energy demand at the exact moment the world needs to be cutting emissions, and governments and Big Tech have known the consequences of this trajectory for years. Despite this, Canada continues to bankroll destructive industries. Canadians remain unprotected in the face of climate disaster, and the government must stop gambling with our lives. The social contract is broken, it's time to disrupt business as usual to ensure our protection and make the rich pay for what they've done.
