Over the summer, a coordinated cyberattack targeted operational technology at more than 30 community water systems in Minnesota. The FBI later reported similar incidents in at least seven states. The ramifications were significant enough for Congress to get involved, prompting the introduction of the “Water Cyber Shield Act” last week, which would increase cybersecurity funding and empower the EPA to help prevent future attacks on water infrastructure.
The Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation (CAEF) is asking lawyers to sign a petition in hopes of persuading the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) to hear a motion in mid-September that could ultimately prevent graduates of Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) law school from ever practicing law in the province.
Hunter Biden has a big announcement, and no, it’s not about a sold painting or getting sober again.
The black sheep son of former President-ish Joe Biden appeared on a recent episode of the Luke Beasley Show, whatever that is, and came out as gay.
Isn’t his dad a little bit molester?
“You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” Mark Carney said after trade talks collapsed and the United States imposed more tariffs on us.
His words caught the mood of the country. Patriotic. Defiant. And ultimately, a cover for a bad policy.
The 23-year-old suspect charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year is to stand trial, a Utah judge ruled Tuesday. Defendant Tyler Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted.
AP reports Utah District Judge Tony Graf sided with prosecutors who said they had “a mountain of evidence” that Robinson fatally shot the conservative activist as he addressed a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University last September.
OpenAI faces 30 new lawsuits filed on behalf of victims of the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting.
The suits, filed on Wednesday, allege the company’s ChatGPT chatbot induced the shooter to carry out the attack in rural Canada in February, in which eight people were killed and dozens more wounded – most of them children.
Being a drugged up tranny may have had something to do with it.
President Donald Trump’s supposed weekslong war on Iran has now trudged into months, but while it’s hard to say whether he’s winning his war over the country’s suicidal dictatorship, it’s becoming increasingly clear that, against all odds and a concerted, anti-American psy-op, the White House is winning its war for oil independence.
In a narrative-defying note to investors, analysts at Goldman Sachs last week reported that oil flows through the Persian Gulf have risen to two-thirds of their pre-war levels, with 8 million to 10 million barrels per day of oil specifically transiting the Strait of Hormuz and another 7 to 8 million bpd circumventing the strait through U.S. Navy escorts, the Saudi East-West pipeline, and the UAE’s Fujairah pipeline. All in all, total oil and gas transit is up to 15 to 16 million bpd versus the March nadir of just 5 to 6 million bpd.
Venezuela’s oil fields will reportedly require an investment in the billions to rehabilitate neglected infrastructure. A decrease in the price at the pump is unlikely for some time.
Canadian mandates on race-based hiring quotas in academia have done measurable damage to the country’s research productivity, according to a new report by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
Ever since 2017, Canadian universities have been subject to strict identity-based hiring quotas as a condition of receiving federal research funding.
Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is about much more than just tariffs. Trade imbalances, Chinese goods entering the American market through Canada, taxes on U.S. companies, and Mark Carney’s political strategy have pushed relations with Washington to a new low.
At the same time, Canada faces weak economic growth, enormous immigration pressures, separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec, and continued dependence on the United States for its defense. Picking a fight with America will not solve those problems.
Carney lying? Say it ain’t so! This is an evisceration of Carney and sadly Canada.
Sorry Elbow people but the Liberals are worse than Trump.
NEW: Canadian Foreign Minister Champagne told India's Finance Minister earlier this week that Canada can provide food and energy to India in exchange for workers.

Why are homeless shelters violent?
Hint: The architecture is not to blame. But, according to the advocates, that violence makes it unjust to require vagrants to get off the streets.

Pierre Poilievre desperately needs some sort of victory, and the recent round of Canadian by-elections didn’t garner him one. Nobody really expected the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) to make gains in the races, but they could have hoped to remain competitive in the one seat they had held in Quebec. Alas, not only did they lose the seat, but they were trounced. The CPC candidate in Chicoutimi — Le Fjord finished a distant third with under 13% of the vote.
In the other two by-elections, the CPC fared no better.
The German government said on Tuesday that it held Russia “responsible” for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport on August 4.
“The federal government concludes that Russia is responsible for the hybrid attack in Leipzig,” said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt at a press conference in Berlin .
Maple Ridge RCMP says a suspect has been arrested in connection with a graffiti incident at Golden Ears Provincial Park that attracted significant public attention.
Police said the alleged suspect turned himself in last week and was subsequently released on a promise to appear in court.
After a record 250 days at sea without a port stop, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has docked in Thailand, giving its nearly 5,000 crew members a much-needed break.
The ship is docking close to the beach resort of Pattaya, known for its raucous nightlife and for sex tourism. For the US it also carries strong historical echoes.
When the weary sailors walk into the city’s bars and restaurants, they will literally be treading in the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands of US troops who came here for R&R – rest and relaxation – during the Vietnam War.
On Sept. 8, roughly $30 billion in imports from the United States will face Canadian tariffs of between 15 and 50 percent. This is our response to the 50 percent U.S. tariffs now applied to approximately five percent of our exports.
Overall, I estimate Canada’s average tariff response works out to about 30 percent, on average, across affected goods. That’s roughly 60 cents of response for every dollar of U.S. tariff. While not full dollar-for-dollar retaliation, as the government frames it, it is still a large response. And it comes on top of certain retaliatory tariffs already in place from last year.
