CBC president accuses MPs of trying to ‘vilify’ and ‘discredit’ her, defends executive bonuses

OTTAWA — The CEO and president of CBC/Radio-Canada says she believes members of the parliamentary heritage committee have been using her appearances to “vilify and to discredit” her, along with the public broadcaster as a whole, as she defended bonuses paid to executives.


Tait deftly accomplishes her own self-vilification. Just listen to this entitled nonsense justifying the tax payer picking up the tab for her Paris Vacay.

Yahya Sinwar may have ordered Hamas to execute hostages if killed – report

Former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar may have issued an order to execute all remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza if he were to be killed, The Telegraph reported on Tuesday, quoting leading Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin.

Baskin, who played a key role in the 2011 negotiations that secured the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in exchange for over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including Sinwar himself, described the current situation as “a moment of either opportunity or doom.” He explained that if the rumors are true, the fate of the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza, at least 60 of whom are thought to be alive, could be dire.

CNN pundit says ‘white folks should face accountability’ if they don’t ‘save democracy’ by voting for Kamala

Liberal commentator Angela Rye says ‘white folks should face accountability’ if they decline to elect Kamala Harris and ‘save democracy.’

Rye has espoused radical views in the past, including refusing to refer to Donald Trump as ‘president’ after he was elected and calling for all statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to be taken down.

Appearing on CNN Sunday, she was asked to respond to Barack Obama’s recent lecture to black men that they were sexist for not wanting to vote for the vice president.

Trudeau’s National Security Adviser & Deputy Minister Of Foreign Affairs Leaked Sensitive Intelligence Info About India To Washington Post

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.

The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.

So Justin and his girlfriend leaked intelligence data to stamp out the anti-Trudeau mutiny.

Could killer robots terminate us?

We risk losing control of our AI creations

In the summer of 2020, the Afghan military received an unusual report. Transmitted by their US allies, it warned of a possible Taliban attack in Jalalabad, a city in the fertile country’s southeastern plain. Suggesting the assault would come between 1-12 July, it identified particular locations at risk of attack. More than that, the report predicted the Taliban onslaught would come at the cost of 41 lives, with a “confidence interval” of 95%.

During its bitter fight against the militants, the Afghan government must have received thousands of such reports. What made this one so special was its provenance: not the drones and informants of its friends in the world’s greatest superpower, but rather Raven Sentry, an AI-enabled warning model designed to predict insurgent activity.

The Unprecedented Vulnerability of Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in an abysmal political situation, and the hits keep on coming. Before the House of Commons returned for the fall sitting, the New Democrats terminated the supply and confidence agreement that had inoculated the minority Liberal government since March of 2022. Successive public opinion polls predict Trudeau’s demise in the next election, set for October 20, 2025, but which could come any time based on Trudeau’s weighting of an early election call as a way out of his current situation and the government’s exposure to non-confidence motions.

Mark Carney says he plans to enter elected politics as Liberals begin to organize leadership bids

Ignatieff but without the charm.

OTTAWA — Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau’s economic platform adviser, says he plans to enter elected politics but won’t say when, where or what job he wants, telling a fellow Liberal “you can’t map these things out.”

As more than two dozen Liberal MPs are working behind the scenes to urge the prime minister to step aside for a new party leader, some of the would-be candidates for the job are making their intentions clearer — albeit not all publicly.
