Beijing’s “Two-State” Strategy Targets Indigenous Land Claims and Resources to Undermine Canada’s National Sovereignty, and Mark Carney’s PRC Pivot Makes It More Dangerous

VANCOUVER — At a moment when Canada is reassessing its economic sovereignty and Prime Minister Mark Carney is charting what he describes as a deeper strategic partnership with China, a long-running but poorly understood vulnerability is quietly advancing — one that cuts across the most sensitive fault lines in Canadian public life: Indigenous land rights, natural resource development, and Beijing’s patient, methodical campaign to secure the commodities it needs without ever having to negotiate with Ottawa.

The strategy, as intelligence documents obtained exclusively by The Bureau reveal, is not new. It is simply becoming more consequential.

Can Artificial Intelligence Fix Social Science?

Artificial intelligence can do many of the things that social scientists do. It can analyze data, write and review code, identify appropriate statistical methods, and offer suggestions on study drafts. It can even take a dataset and a research question and produce an entire paper on its own. Given that human-led social science is often marred by mistakes, dubious methods, ideological bias, and even outright fraud, one can hope that AI will improve the field in the years ahead.

Some recent studies, though, highlight the limitations of current models. For now, AI is a productivity- and quality-enhancing tool, but not a panacea for what ails social science, nor a reason to let one’s guard down.

AI is easily enough co-opted by the left to suit any “studies” faculty.

Colby Cosh: David Suzuki made his career crying wolf

David Suzuki is sad. Just ask him. CBC Radio’s Sunday Magazine was loyally rolling the log last weekend for the former television personality, who observed his 90th birthday on Tuesday — perhaps with some or all of his five children and his double-digit quantum of grandchildren. Suzuki is flogging a new memoir, which some of you will perhaps display on your bookshelves next to 2006’s “David Suzuki: The Autobiography” and 2015’s “Letters to My Grandchildren.” The ecological sage is feeling gloomy about the fate of our planet as he readies to depart: he thinks that despite all his hard work defending the environment, he has fundamentally failed, and the biosphere is now headed irreversibly toward catastrophe.

Nice Try Rapist

An Egyptian asylum seeker accused of gang-raping a lone, drunk woman on Brighton beach claimed he filmed the assault to gather evidence for police, a court has heard.

Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, said he was shocked when he saw two of his friends raping the woman behind a beach hut.

The 33-year-old woman has claimed she was dragged onto the beach and raped after a night out with friends in the seaside city on October 4 last year.

Canada might help oil tankers cross Strait of Hormuz if there is a ceasefire, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada might join efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in the Middle East if there is a ceasefire.

Reporters asked Carney on Thursday how Ottawa might get involved in efforts to reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has blockaded in response to the U.S. and Israel launching a war on Iran a month ago.

Carney says Canada is talking to allies about how it could help restore the movement of vessels in the strait, offering the clearest scenario yet of how it might get involved.

Trump extends deadline for Iran to open strait of Hormuz by 10 days

Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to open the strait of Hormuz by 10 days to 6 April after saying talks are “going very well”.

The president made the statement on Thursday in a social media post, saying: “As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

“Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well.”

Carney says apology needed for Indigenous spying program

The prime minister said there should be a public apology for a spying operation targeting hundreds of Indigenous people that had the support of the federal government.

“Yes, there should be an apology,” Mark Carney said during a news conference in Halifax on Thursday. “It’s a reprehensible practice. Never should’ve happened.”

Carney was responding to reporting from CBC Indigenous, which revealed extensive RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.

He panders as much as Junior.

Finland has Convicted an MP of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ for Publishing Religious Pamphlet

Is homosexuality a sin?

That’s like asking whether adultery is a sin, or taking God’s name in vain. The Bible is quite clear on the matter, and for over two millennia, it was uncontroversial to believe that the sexual binary and method of human procreation made clear that God made men and women to be complementary.

Get ready Canada …

Anti-hate bill that provoked bitter debate over religious freedom passes the Commons

Jewish groups welcomed the government’s anti-hate bill passing through the Commons Wednesday evening after months of filibustering and fractious debate about whether it threatens religious freedom.

Bill C-9, as it’s known, would make it a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to obstruct someone from accessing a place of worship or other sites where Jews, Muslims and other identifiable groups gather.

War is the worst time to find Canada — still — without a national oil reserve

Can Canada insulate itself from oil volatility caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s illegal bombing of Iran? Experts say no. History says yes.

Iran’s retaliation against American attacks has disrupted oil supplies. Gasoline prices have spiked and left shocked Canadian motorists to wonder why their lives should be so affected by events in the Persian Gulf. Doesn’t Canada produce enough oil to supply all its provinces?

Yes — and it can supply them quickly, without waiting 10 years to approve and build a 4,600-kilometre pipeline from Alberta to New Brunswick.

Pope Leo vs. President Trump

After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever!” declared Pope Leo XIV this week. “Instead, as we know, it still exists, and technological development, which is positive in itself, is being put at the service of war. This is not progress, it is regression!” The pontiff remonstrated: “Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky.”
