Pope Leo issues stark warning about AI’s effects on children

Pope Leo XIV has issued a stark warning regarding the potential negative impact of artificial intelligence on the intellectual, neurological, and spiritual development of young people.

The caution was delivered in a message to a major conference on AI and ethics.

The conference, which saw part of its proceedings held within the Vatican, underscored the Holy See’s growing concern over emerging technologies and their broader implications for humanity.


Will Pope AI The 1st be more or less fallible than humans?

Rick Ekstein: A question for Mark Carney — what’s the future for Canada’s Jews?

On a recent mission to Israel, it broke my heart to hear a young Jewish Canadian question whether he had a future in Canada. One participant responded: “Only the Prime Minister of Canada can answer that.”

So, Prime Minister Mark Carney, I ask you plainly: Do Canadian Jews have a safe and secure future in this country? Because if the answer is yes — and I hope it is — then you need to start showing it. Now.

It will not get better.

Bradford is the grooming ‘hotspot’ of the UK, victim warns

Muslim Rape Gang Bradford UK

Fiona Goddard was just 14 and living at a children’s home when she was targeted by a grooming gang based in Bradford.

She was plied with drink and drugs, repeatedly raped and “in effect used as a prostitute” before falling pregnant to one of her abusers, a court heard.

Nine Asian men were jailed for committing 22 offences against her in 2019, but six years on she believes predators continue to plague her home town.

Liberals, Conservatives pass major projects legislation in House of Commons

Separated at birth.

Conservative members of Parliament voted with the minority Liberal government to pass its marquee major projects legislation Friday evening, setting it up to become law before Canada Day.

The legislation, also known as the one Canadian economy act, would allow the government to green-light a list of projects that have been deemed to be in the national interest, fast-tracking their approvals.

The Liberals have called it the core of the government’s domestic economic response to U.S. tariffs.

Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon ‘within weeks’

Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons “within weeks”, months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.

The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony – in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons – had been taken out of context by “dishonest media”.

Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was “wrong” and that intelligence showed Iran had a “tremendous amount of material” and could have a nuclear weapon “within months”.

The reason Trump is spending as little time as possible at the Nato summit

Donald Trump will spend as little time as possible on European soil next week when he heads to a crucial Nato summit for just 24 hours.

He was set to arrive in The Hague on Monday evening before returning to Washington on Wednesday, but the White House says he will now arrive on Tuesday.

A week after he left a meeting of the G7 in Canada early, apparently irritated at having to sit through a meeting on wildfires when his mind was on the Middle East, it will raise fears among allies that he has no time for the sorts of summits that underpin international diplomacy.


This is what he wants everything else is just Blah Blah.

His new schedule means he will still arrive in time for a leaders’ dinner and will attend a session devoted to discussing allies’ efforts to spend the equivalent of five percent of their gross domestic product on defence.

“He wants to see that happen,” said Ms Leavitt.

Vivian Bercovici: Iran could fall any day, and Carney could not be more irrelevant

SDEROT, Israel — On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stood at the top of the stairs of an Air France jet that had just landed in Tehran. This stern, robed man had been whisked from his country villa provided by the French government (then led by President Valery Giscard d’Estaing) to a waiting jet. During his 14 years in exile, Ayatollah Khomeini was treated reverentially by the French. Before descending the stairs, the 40 year old cleric paused, triumphantly.


I think Carney is where he wants to be.

Shoring up the Muslim vote and waiting for profitable opportunities to arise.

Israel will become less viable for business as it becomes increasingly isolated and subject to additional sanctions while the Islamic world will open to their new BFF Carney.

Sword attack at Brandon high school was racially motivated act of hate, police say

The sword attack at a Brandon high school last week was a targeted and racially motivated assault, police say.

“The offender planned the attack and the perpetration of violence against targets chosen specifically based on race — targeting people of colour and immigrants. It was a deliberate, senseless, targeted act of hate,” Chief Tyler Bates said in a statement posted on the police service’s Facebook page on Friday.

McTEAGUE: Carney’s exercise in stupidity

This past Tuesday, the Conservative Party put forward a motion in parliament calling on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-and-diesel driven Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, which will take full effect in 2035.

Arguing for the motion, Melissa Lantsman rightly said, “Nobody is denying people the choice to drive an electric car. There is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the government mandating that everybody drive an electric car.”

Unfortunately for all of us, MPs voted 194-141 to keep the EV mandate in place.
