Local news outlets have, of course, been in trouble in Canada and around the world for years. But now a lender has asked a Halifax court to dissolve the two companies that jointly own most of the newspapers in Atlantic Canada outside New Brunswick. And that has opened up the possibility that the region may end up without any legacy news outlets aside from broadcasters.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) currently cannot publicly endorse a recently released Pentagon historical report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
This is despite its joint oversight role over the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the entity responsible for drafting the report.
Justin Trudeau caught a wave back in 2015. He was woke when woke was cool. He and his fellow travellers were all over global warming. Heck, just tax that nasty carbon.
Fiscal policy was boring stuff. The budget would balance itself.

The first maritime humanitarian aid shipment to Gaza has been unloaded on to the shore.
The US charity behind the mission, World Central Kitchen, is carrying out the mission in co-operation with the United Arab Emirates.
The shipment contained 200 tonnes of food desperately needed for Gaza, which the UN says is on the brink of famine.
Israeli Government spokesman Avi Hyman rejects Lord Cameron’s claim that 500 aid trucks a day are needed to prevent famine in Gaza.

The Alberta government has released some details of where and how it will permit wind and solar development, prohibiting it along a broad stretch of the province’s western edge, assessing its visual impact in five other large areas and restricting it on agricultural land.
“Wind projects are no longer permitted in the buffer zones due to the impact of their vertical footprint,” said Affordability and Utilities ministry spokeswoman Ashley Stevenson.
“With agricultural lands, development is still permitted as long as the project can coexist with livestock or crops.”
Don Lemon demanded the sun, the moon and the stars from the SpaceX boss – before being unceremoniously dumped this week, The Post has learned.
The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire’s social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content, according to a document reviewed by The Post.
Canada is facing a number of destabilizing forces like climate change, disinformation, and young adults never owning a home. That’s the take from an internal RCMP report called the Whole-Of-Government Five-Year Trends For Canada. The report is a “scanning exercise” on evolving risks for law enforcement to monitor. It puts the fact that many people under 35 will never own a home, on par with disinformation and climate change.
