AI-Powered Drone Swarms Have Now Entered the Battlefield

In a new frontier for warfare, Ukraine is using technology to allow groups of drones to communicate and make decisions independent of their operator

On a recent evening, a trio of Ukrainian drones flew under the cover of darkness to a Russian position and decided among themselves exactly when to strike.

The assault was an example of how Ukraine is using artificial intelligence to allow groups of drones to coordinate with each other to attack Russian positions, an innovative technology that heralds the future of battle.

Military experts say the so-called swarm technology represents the next frontier for drone warfare because of its potential to allow tens or even thousands of drones—or swarms—to be deployed at once to overwhelm the defenses of a target, be that a city or an individual military asset.

Soon the local police force will have such critters. Just in case.

Toronto traffic, transit congestion likely to worsen with in-office mandates: experts

TORONTO – Greater Toronto commuters are likely bracing for traffic and transit congestion to worsen over the coming months as a number of major employers get ready to increase in-office days.

Even before return-to-office mandates take effect, experts say vehicle traffic in the city is at a tipping point, while delays, construction and public safety concerns plague the public transit system.

“I think people should be very concerned, both policy-makers and commuters themselves, about the impact that a back-to-work mandate is going to have on the commute,” said Jennifer Keesmaat, a former chief planner for the City of Toronto.

“We were already hitting a tipping point because transit ridership has decreased and so many people are getting in their cars.”

There is no flood of newcomers anymore, Mr. Poilievre

Canada’s population has stopped growing.

That’s an important point to remember when you hear Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre complain that immigration is “out of control” and people are pouring into the country.

The Globe splits hairs to make it sound like Canada is short of unskilled 3rd World migrants from incompatible cultures.

Ottawa tells CRA to fix its call centre problem so more Canadians can reach an agent

The federal government has instructed the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to devise a 100-day plan to improve service at its call centres so more Canadians can get through by phone.

The demand follows a CBC News story last month about mounting frustration by Canadians to reach a CRA agent to deal with pressing tax matters. Several told CBC News they had been trying for weeks or months to get through but instead were greeted with an automated message, and no opportunity to wait on hold or leave a callback number.

Trump deployment of military troops to Los Angeles was illegal, judge rules

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration’s deployment of U.S. military troops to Los Angeles during immigration raids earlier this year was illegal.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer found the deployment violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which limited the use of the military for law enforcement purposes. He stayed his ruling to give the administration a chance to appeal.

“President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have stated their intention to call National Guard troops into service in other cities across the country … thus creating a national police force with the President as its chief,” Breyer wrote.

Stabby Muslim Shouting Allahu Akbar Shot Dead By Gendarmes In Marseille

Man shot dead by French police after stabbings at Marseille hotel

A man has been shot dead by police in the southern French city of Marseille after five people were wounded in a hotel and a nearby street.

The man was armed with two knives and a baton and had ignored police warnings to drop his weapons, Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone told reporters.

He had been evicted from the hotel for unpaid rent and attacked one person in his old room, before stabbing the hotel manager and his son, the prosecutor said.

Trump is bending over backwards to protect American steel — and Canada is paying the price

WASHINGTON, D.C. — At a steel plant in Pennsylvania in May, U.S. President Donald Trump promised workers a new era of domestic steel production.

“We are once again going to put Pennsylvania steel into the backbone of America like never before,” Trump said, reflecting how he sees steel as the centrepiece of a revitalized American industrial capacity.

Pressure Building in UK

I make no predictions when it comes to social movements because they are unpredictable, at least when USAID isn’t funding a “color revolution.”

But if I were Keir Starmer, I would be talking to my doctor about anti-anxiety meds and treatments for chronic migraines, because it sure looks like the pressure is building on the migrant issue.

Ten years after Alan Kurdi’s photo prompted an outpouring, experts fear a loss of empathy for refugees

The photo of the body of a two-year-old Syrian boy, who drowned during his family’s tragic quest for a new life, led to an outpouring of grief around the world when it was published 10 years ago on Tuesday.

The image of Alan Kurdi lying face down on a beach near the fashionable Turkish resort of Bodrum became a shocking symbol of the plight of refugees, awakening the world to the dangers desperate people were willing to confront to find sanctuary.

Garbage by anti-western propagandists. Only western states are asked to commit suicide via a flood of 3rd World benefit seekers.

54 shot, 7 killed in Chicago weekend bloodbath after Pritzker claims Trump, National Guard not needed

Bodies are piling up on the streets of Chicago over Labor Day weekend – with 54 shot, including seven killed, as President Trump and Illinois Gov. Pritzker spar over sending the National Guard into the Windy City.

At least 32 separate shootings occurred in Chicago between Friday evening and noon on Monday, according to a review of police incident reports by ABC News.

Just hours after Trump posted a message on Truth Social on Saturday criticizing Pritzker’s handling of crime in the city, at least seven people were shot around 11:10 p.m. in Bronzeville. All of the people are expected to be okay.
