RCMP aims to dramatically expand reach into remote areas via drones
The RCMP is looking to expand the growing use of drones by Canadian police, issuing a tender for long-range aircraft that could reach far-flung crime scenes and other incidents well before officers arrived.
The car was 12 miles away – but the hackers may as well have been inside it. Over a wireless connection, the small group was able to unlock the Tesla Model S’s doors, open its boot while in motion and – most concerningly – activate the brakes.
The demonstration, from security researchers at the Chinese technology company Tencent, was no more than that. The Tesla vulnerability was not used on the road, and the company fixed the problem.
But when disclosed eight years ago, it was seen as a worrying sign: that as cars became increasingly technologically sophisticated, with critical functions controlled by centralised computer systems, they also became more vulnerable.
Canada’s state broadcaster published a story where a woman claims her grandfather was forced to dig graves for other children at a residential school.
No graves have been found to date, despite millions of federal dollars spent excavating sites where the remains allegedly would have been uncovered since the claims were made in 2021.
Nearly 50 percent of Canadians would support calling a federal election before next fall, a new national survey suggests.
Thirty-two percent of Canadians are ready to head to the ballot box as soon as possible while 16 percent would prefer an election to happen sooner than October 2025 but not before the end of this year, according to a newly-released Abacus Data poll.
Only 30 percent of Canadians polled don’t want an election to happen until its scheduled date in October 2025, while the remaining 22 percent have no preference.
A Hamas commander in Lebanon who was killed in an Israeli airstrike overnight was an accredited member of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the embattled agency confirmed after his death.
You might think that an attempt to shoot the president – okay, the former president and likely the next one, but you know what I mean – would be a big deal. And you might think that two attempts to shoot him in the space of a couple of months might be an even bigger deal. But you would be wrong. They are no deal at all, and that’s not a good thing. Not at all.
We are on a very scary path, and it’s unclear that there is a turn-off we can take that brings us someplace good.

Scientist claims we’re simply characters in an advanced AI world – and says the proof is hidden in the BIBLE
If you feel like you’re living in a convincing virtual reality akin to The Matrix, a scientist thinks you may well be right.
Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth, claims our entire universe may be an advanced computer simulation.
And the proof that this so-called simulation hypothesis is correct may be hiding in plain sight in the Bible.
He’s not the first to advance the simulation theory. I’m still confused by the multiverse stuff.
WASHINGTON, DC – While Democrats and the media have been focusing on the shiny object of the January 6, 2021 siege at the U.S. Capitol, another incident that occurred that day has been ignored. This incident, involving the discovery of pipe bombs, is possibly much more serious than what occurred at the Capitol. It raises a lot of questions and underscores the need for further investigation and public engagement.
Only one word captures the vibe in the West following Israel’s killing of Hassan Nasrallah: anguish. Everywhere you look there is dread over what Israel has done, and fear of what it might unleash. Disquiet drips from every newspaper. You hear it in the trembling timbre of news anchors. You see it in the feverish warnings of ‘anti-war’ types that the Middle East now stands upon the precipice of apocalypse. You hear it in Guardianistas’ shrill damning of Israel as a ‘pugnacious out-of-control force’ that now even takes out terrorists ‘against the United States’ explicit wishes’. Yes, how dare this uppity state defy our masters in the neo-empire?
You get the impression that western leaders, diplomats and media come to enjoy chatting with Islamist terrorists over cocktails and begin ascribing them an underserved humanity while conveniently forgetting their murderous friends would slit their throats in a New York minute.

An interview with James Fox.
The tweet below has a sample of some of the ground covered in the podcast above. The Hoover request for access to the Roswell UFO has been public for some time and is apparently authentic. The Wilson-Davis memo remains contentious although Eric Davis is a well regarded individual who just can’t say on the record if the memo is the real deal. Holloman is a part of UFO lore I have heard of but am not familiar enough with to comment on and the same goes for the rest of the listed topics frankly. I deliberately refrain from sticking my head in too many Rabbit Holes at once hence my continued cautious neutrality on Bob Lazar.
I had the absolute honor of interviewing @jamescfox, an intrepid journalist and documentarian who has been investigating UFOs for decades before it was ever in vogue or profitable. We are all lucky to ride on his coattails. Full interview here: https://t.co/VMSfdjhWPk

Fox has produced some great UFO docs and is releasing his latest “The Program” shortly.
Hello to all of you, I just uploaded the hi-resolution file of the trailer to my X account so everyone can share. This is a fully independent production so we are counting on all of you to help spread this far and wide. THANK YOU — LETS GO!!! pic.twitter.com/0mjRW11OJJ

One of the last Covid thugs of the democratic world is in deep, deep do-do. I refer to Canada’s Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party. (Note to readers: in Canada the Liberal Party is and has always been a Left-of-centre party, these days a lot Left-of-centre. Here in Australia the Liberal Party has historically been Right-of-centre, though a fair few current Liberal Party MPs of the Black Hand Gang persuasion – I’m looking at you Simon Birmingham and most all of the remaining partyroom MPs who voted to defenestrate Tony Abbott in favour of Malcolm Turnbull – would much prefer the name ‘Liberal Party’ to be pronounced with a heavy Canadian accent. That’s one of the key underlying difficulties for Peter Dutton, the many, too-many wets in caucus who are incredibly out-of-step with the party base. We saw how that worked out for the Tories in Britain, didn’t we?)
Michael Fortin was at the heart of Hollywood’s golden age of streaming.
The actor and aerial cinematographer turned his hobby of flying drones into a profitable business in 2012 just as the streaming wars were taking off. For a decade, he was flying high above film sets, creating sleek aerial shots for movies and TV shows on Netflix, Amazon and Disney.
Now he’s on the verge of becoming homeless – again. He was evicted from the Huntington Beach home he shared with his wife and two young children and now is being booted from the Las Vegas apartment they moved to because they could no longer afford to live in Southern California.
This seems the unavoidable result of being a cesspit of extremist values.
The rampage in Essen was more reminiscent of a terror attack than a ‘domestic dispute.’
A 41-year-old Syrian man set fire to two buildings, rammed his vehicle into a grocery store, and threatened passers-by with a machete in the western German city of Essen. While authorities and mainstream politicians are treating the case as an act of revenge by a mentally deranged man against his ex-wife’s new boyfriend, the attack bears the hallmarks of Islamist violence.
According to German media reports, the perpetrator set fire to two residential buildings on Saturday afternoon, injuring 31 people, including eight children who remain in critical condition. Photos circulating on social media show people clambering down ladders to try to escape one of the torched buildings.
112 Christian churches in Canada have been vandalized, burned down or desecrated since the announcement of the apparent discovery of graves found near a residential school in Kamloops, BC.
Since then, three other first nations have announced similar findings of burial sites located near former residential schools.

Is bloat a problem in our universities? It is sometimes suggested that universities’ workforces have grown exponentially and haphazardly, generating costs on a scale that creates financial risk. They have certainly grown, outpacing the communities of scholars that they once were, to become large, bureaucratic institutions with administrative and support personnel to match. They have also become heavily regulated by governments and have many employees to manage their newly regulated spheres and activities.
