    TLDR

    Christian Lassonde posted that WSIB, a Canadian Crown insurer, purchased Canadian-built AI from Vancouver's Owl.co. The post states the tool will digest thousand-page claim files faster. Lassonde criticizes CBC coverage focused on AI taking jobs from union quotes. He notes WSIB itself links staff cuts to office consolidation rather than the technology. The tweet presents the purchase as a Canadian insurtech story that CBC overlooked in favor of its chosen angle.

    @classondeCBC has completely lost the plot. WSIB just bought Canadian-built AI from Vancouver’s http://Owl.co. A Canadian Crown insurer buying Canadian insurtech to digest thousand-page claim files faster. That’s the story. Instead CBC runs “AI is taking our jobs” off union quotes, while WSIB itself says the cuts are office consolidation and that the tool is a co-pilot so staff spend less time summarizing paper and more time on injured workers. Job losses are real. Blaming them all on AI — and ignoring that a Canadian company just won a $7.3M contract from a Canadian buyer — is how you talk a country out of its own industry.
