ChatGPT faces criminal investigation over shooting

Prosecutors in Florida have launched a criminal investigation into ChatGPT because of claims that the AI bot helped an alleged killer prepare for a mass shooting.

James Uthmeier, Florida’s attorney general, said state officials were demanding answers from OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, which allegedly offered “significant advice” to a gunman who left two people dead at Florida State University in April 2025.

“If ChatGPT were a person, it would be facing charges for murder,” Mr Uthmeier said. “This criminal investigation will determine whether OpenAI bears criminal responsibility for ChatGPT’s actions in the shooting at Florida State University last year.”

Canada, U.S. trade systems ‘don’t fit together very well,’ Greer says

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says there is a gap between the Canada and U.S. administrations’ trade philosophies.

Greer made the comments at a U.S. House Ways and Means Committee hearing on U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade agenda on Wednesday.

“They’ve done this, but overall they’ve indicated that they want to be trading more, they want to have more trade agreements with more countries,” Greer said, when asked whether Canada is taking the same steps as Mexico to better align with U.S. trade policy, specifically when it comes to rules of origin.

Fractured and ready to fall? Iran regime may prove Trump wrong

A joke making the rounds in Iran is that the Israeli airstrike that killed Ayatollah Khamenei at the start of war merely made him decades younger.

His son and successor Mojtaba, observers say, is a more radical version of the father, and wants revenge. President Trump had recently been insistent that he achieved “regime change” in Iran, heralding “much more rational” leaders with whom US negotiators could talk. For all he has said, the “great deal” Trump expected to extract this week from the rational regime has failed to materialise, forcing an extension of the ceasefire.

Pickering councillor Lisa Robinson fires back at mayor over Kamloops residential school remarks

Terry Newman: Pro-terror event held at government-funded community centre in Montreal

On Sunday, a community centre in Montreal hosted a Palestinian prisoners speaking event that celebrated convicted terrorists involved in stabbings, murders and a failed suicide bombing. The event was organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a group with documented ties to terrorist entities.

Three days prior, two government departments and the centre’s administration were contacted by a lawyer warning them that the event posed a serious risk of promoting hatred and glorifying terrorism, to which none of the parties responded.

The Equality Act institutionalised racism – against whites

THERE is a term for what is happening in Britain today but the establishment is terrified to say it. That term is institutional racism. For years we were told that the goal of the Equality Act was to protect discriminated against minorities. Now the mask has slipped. Racism and prejudice have not disappeared; they have simply been reworked and aimed at a new target: the British white majority.

The most damning recent evidence of this systemic rot is the ongoing scandal within the Royal Air Force. Recent disclosures have moved this from a policy failure to a full-blown crisis of integrity. Official documents and parliamentary testimony show that senior leadership allegedly lied to the Defence Secretary to hide the scale of their illegal recruitment practices.

Made In Xinjiang: How Forced Labour Will Dictate Ottawa & Beijing’s Relationship

The vocabulary of diplomacy has always struggled to keep pace with the realities of power. Today, as technoauthoritarianism reshapes global influence, Canada faces a stark test: whether its economic and diplomatic engagement with Beijing can be reconciled with mounting evidence of systemic human rights abuses, most notably the ongoing genocide against the Uyghur people. Recent public statements and testimonies have only sharpened that dilemma, exposing not just policy tensions, but a deeper moral fault line.

Trump has had it with NATO

A month ago, it was obvious that our frenemies in NATO was trying to play President Trump for a fool by blocking USA bases in their countries from carrying out Operation Epic Fury, which would keep the Islamic regime in Iran from building nuclear weaponry.

I wrote about this in March, calling that newsletter The Little Orange Rooster.

Unlike the characters in The Little Red Hen, these animals were not simply lazy—they were saboteurs supporting a regime that killed 40,000 protesters in two nights. Do not for a moment believe Starmer, Macron, Merz and the rest of the cowards would not open fire on their own people, too.

Why Canada’s military is nowhere near meeting its decade-old female recruitment target – they don’t like the “Fighty” part

The military commander overseeing recruitment said the Canadian Armed Forces is nowhere near meeting a target set a decade ago for women to make up 25 per cent of the Forces by 2026 — and at the current rate, reaching that goal is impossible.

Lt.-Gen. Erick Simoneau, chief of military personnel, said Canada’s military is still struggling to attract and keep enough women in uniform.

“We’re having great difficulties because the bulk of our occupations and positions that we have to offer to the Canadian population is in the combat arms in the army,” said Simoneau. “So until we can convince women to join the army and then the combat arms, I’m very pessimistic about meeting the 25 per cent target.”

Besides the men are hoarding all the tampons.

The ‘anti-extremism’ movement has always been a con

Every now and then, there’s a news event that feels simultaneously insane and entirely logical. The stink swirling around the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is just such an event.

At first blush, the suggestion that the centre has been ‘fund[ing] the extremism that it claimed to be fighting’ seems wild. But then it hits you – such duplicitous antics, if true, would be wholly in keeping with an activist class that continually inflates the far-right threat in order to make itself feel purposeful and virtuous.

Michael Murphy: The farcical attempt to ‘decolonize’ Shakespeare

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, custodian of buildings and archival materials linked to the playwright, has decided that Shakespeare was too white for their liking. So white, in fact, that the Trust commissioned an investigation into how the playwright’s work advanced “white supremacy.”

Shakespeare’s plays stand accused of being a pillar of “British cultural superiority” and “Anglo-cultural supremacy,” compliments with which I shan’t quibble. The Trust was magnanimous enough, no doubt to the delight of continental esthetes who would like to claim him, to also implicate the Bard in “white European supremacy.” One wonders if the English can, in turn, be awarded some kudos for Dante — but I digress.
