Carney Fulfills Promise Of National Weight Loss Program: Canadians skipping meals because they can’t afford groceries: survey

Judge orders Iowa to permit Satanic Temple holiday event at state capitol

Judge orders Iowa to permit Satanic Temple holiday event at state capitol

A federal judge ordered state officials in Iowa on Monday to permit a local Satanic Temple organization to hold a holiday event in the rotunda of the state capitol after years of denying the group’s application.

The religious organization and Iowa Republican state officials have been in a legal battle over the group’s applications to hold a holiday event at the state capitol in recent years.

Republicans in Iowa, who currently control the governorship and majorities in the state house and senate, have cited the capitol building’s policies prohibiting gratuitous violence and obscene displays as justification for denying the applications.

Blame Canada: Five charts capture Trump’s growing hostility toward his northern neighbour

Blame Canada: Five charts capture Trump’s growing hostility toward his northern neighbour

Has it really been almost two years? There’s something about living under constant threat of economic subjugation by the world’s reigning superpower that makes time lose all meaning.

As we approach the midway point of U.S. President Donald Trump’s maximalist second term, Canadians might indulge in a brief intermission. “Halfway there,” the nation whispers to itself, like a mantra.

If hackers can take control of a supermarket freezer, how vulnerable is other tech?

If hackers can take control of a supermarket freezer, how vulnerable is other tech?

Supermarkets across Europe have been hit by a suspected cyber-attack affecting their fridges and freezers, and raising concern about the vulnerabilities of internet-connected hardware from industrial machinery to humble domestic appliances.

Smart devices which are connected to the internet can include fridges, central heating, and even washing machines.

And while that makes them easier to control remotely, in theory, any device which goes online can potentially be exploited by malicious actors.

John Ivison: ‘Red flags all over’ Carney government’s buy-in of AI company Cohere

John Ivison: ‘Red flags all over’ Carney government’s buy-in of AI company Cohere

I am not, it should be acknowledged, an expert on the merits of frontier AI models.

I am, however, a reasonably seasoned observer of government ministers proclaiming solemnly that they have just made a very prudent investment of taxpayers’ money, on the most favourable of terms, as AI minister Evan Solomon did this past weekend.

Sometimes it works out: the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion may yet turn out to have been a profitable investment by Ottawa.

Lutnick who derailed trade talks is now reviving them

OTTAWA — U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whose last-minute demands led to trade talks breaking down in August, has become the behind-the-scenes “driving force” pushing Canada and the U.S. to re-engage on a deal, multiple sources tell CTV News.

Sources in both countries say Lutnick initiated the re-engagement just over 10 days ago, after months of stasis, and has centred talks around the Section 232 tariffs that apply to steel, aluminum, lumber and autos because that is his purview.
