Elon Musk’s company removes posts praising Hitler from Grok chatbot
Elon Musk’s company xAI removed social media posts by its chatbot on Tuesday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that it had produced content with antisemitic stereotypes and praise for Adolf Hitler.
The Grok chatbot, which answers questions from users on Musk’s X social media platform, had produced some “inappropriate” responses which had to be deleted, the company said.
The Federal Court says the RCMP must hand over solicitor-client information to the country’s national security review agency — allowing a long-stalled review into whether the Mounties mishandled the case of a Canadian convicted of plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks in the U.S. to move ahead.
The case centres on a complaint from Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy’s father Osama El Bahnasawy, who alleged the RCMP played a role entrapping his son, now serving a decades-long sentence in a U.S. maximum security prison.
The reason I posted this link is to rekindle memories of a real RCMP entrapment case, they almost got away with an FBI style frame-up.
Keep this in mind as the CAF “Anti-Government” militia case unfolds.
RCMP entrapment of B.C. couple in legislature bomb plot was ‘travesty of justice,’ court rules
B.C.’s Appeal Court has upheld a ruling that gave a couple convicted of planting explosive devices on the grounds of the legislature their freedom in 2016.
In a unanimous decision released Wednesday morning, the Appeal Court sided with a B.C. Supreme Court judge who stayed proceedings in the terrorism trial of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody on the grounds that the police investigation was a “travesty of justice.”
Donald Trump claims he threatened to “bomb the s— out of Moscow” if Russia invaded Ukraine during his first term, according to new leaked audio.
“With Putin I said: ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s— out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice’,” Mr Trump told a group of donors before last year’s presidential election.
“And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you’. But he believed me 100 per cent.”
A friendly breeze blows out of Ottawa these days, but there’s a chance it’s nothing more than wind.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is all about development, energy, pipelines — one big Canadian economy.
He speaks of Alberta’s energy industry with none of the contempt so common in the Justin Trudeau years.
Police carried out raids across North Rhine-Westphalia state in connection with a suspected Islamist terror plot. A man has been detained on suspicion of fraud with the intention of financing an Islamist terror attack.
OTTAWA — Focus groups struck to gauge public sentiment on the federal government’s immigration policy reacted negatively to high immigration quotas.
The public opinion panels, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and facilitated by Toronto pollster The Strategic Council showed most respondents reacted negatively to Canada’s mass immigration policies, according to reports published in Blacklock’s Reporter.
Canada’s demographic is being so drastically altered that soon all polls will support open borders and 3rd world immigration.
This is so depressing. @fancypants_s https://t.co/RqGKi5qeiJ

At least 161 people are still missing in a single Texas county four days after deadly and devastating flash floods hit parts of the state, Governor Greg Abbott said, as hope fades for survivors to be found.
The missing in the hard-hit Kerr County include five campers and a counsellor from Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls summer camp located on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
At least 111 people have died in the disaster, according to the latest county-by-county tolls published by US media. More than 90 were in the Kerrville area.
Meanwhile in New Mexico

Kaboom. It’s loud, scary, and urgent. But it’s not the sound of new Canadian munitions going off as we ramp up to $150 billion a year in defence spending because they said so. It’s the federal budget detonating. And if anyone’s minded to call the bomb squad instead of waiting to be blown to insolvency come, now would be a good time. A really good time.
Polish farmers on protest since mid-May against EU green policies have left their posts in the town of Szczecin, close to the German border, to join the growing Civic Border Defense Movement against the German federal police’s unlawful migrant dumping operations.
Despite PM Donald Tusk reinstating temporary checks on the German border earlier this week—after weeks of initially dismissing the concern as unfounded, right-wing “hysteria”—the scandal and growing diplomatic dispute have not subsided.
German police vans are trying to drive into Poland on small dirt roads in the forests along the Polish-German border and drop off illegal migrants.
A Polish Citizens Patrol movement has been launched to guard the border and stop the procedure.

Travis Dhanraj joined CBC with the intention of doing real journalism. He quickly found out that wasn’t why they hired him.
It’s important to note that Dhanraj didn’t leave any old job at CBC, he was the host of his own show — Canada Tonight: With Travis Dhanraj — the kind of achievement most aspiring television journalists only dream of. He was on the path to a Peter Mansbridge-level of success after working hard for it over his 20-years in journalism which included roles at CBC, but also, CP24, Global News, and CTV News.

The Duke of York is off the hook.
After more than five years of him living under suspicion, fearing that knock at the door, the FBI has drawn a line under its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network of friends and associates.
It will release no more files nor pursue any “third parties”.
But there should be no popping of champagne corks at Royal Lodge, the Duke’s Windsor home.
Prime Minister Mark Carney promised a swift, businesslike reboot of a Canadian economy battered by a decade of overspending and regulatory overreach. Yet just over two months into his term, his public statements are often hedged or shrouded in ambiguity and his policy direction remains unclear.
