What History Tells Us About the AI Debate

In 1862, The Lancet published a lengthy analysis titled “The Influence of Railway Travelling on Public Health.” The invention of the railroad was also the invention of railway accidents, which media of that day covered in lurid detail, but that was the least of it. Experts back then warned that as trains got faster, passengers would suffocate, or that looking at unnaturally fast-moving scenery could permanently compromise visual processing. Other experts warned that the human body was fundamentally unsuited to tolerate such unprecedented speeds.

Canadians skeptical of major airports privatization, Nanos survey shows

Canadians are skeptical of the federal government’s proposed plan to privatize some of the country’s major airports, according to a new Nanos Research survey for CTV News.

According to the data, more Canadians oppose allowing private investors to operate Canada’s four largest airports than support it.

“Very cautious. It’s a mixed bag,” said Nik Nanos, founder and chief data scientist at Nanos Research.

New pipeline is great, the government owning it is not

Building another oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast has always been in the national interest – on Thursday, it became official.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, standing in Fort McMurray with Premier Danielle Smith, declared that the West Coast Oil Pipeline, now known as Pacific Link, would become the first project deemed in the national interest under the Building Canada Act.

US Coast Guard says it intercepted ship carrying fuel to Cuba

The US Coast ⁠Guard has announced that it intercepted a large cargo ship carrying fuel bound for Cuba, as the ⁠Trump administration’s crippling ⁠oil embargo against the island nation continued.

The vessel named Grace was stopped on 5 September in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba ⁠and Mexico while using tactics to evade authorities, the Coast Guard said. The New York Times reported that the ship ⁠was 91 metres (300ft) long.

“Grace was transiting to Cuba, carrying fuel, and was believed to be employing ‌tactics common amongst the ‌dark fleet,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.

U.S. mayors ask Canadians to reconsider U.S. travel boycott

Since the beginning of the Canada-U.S. trade war early last year, travel south of the border is still far from recovering.

In January of 2025, the month before U.S. President Donald Trump announced there would be sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, Statistics Canada found more than 3 million Canadians returned from the United States. That plummeted to about 2.3 million in January of this year, with a return to pre-trade war numbers still far off in the most recent statistics from April.

A normalcy will return.

State’s largest mosque leader’s deportation fight takes dramatic turn as Trump admin scores major win

An immigration judge ruled Wednesday that federal authorities can deport the leader of Wisconsin’s largest mosque on national security grounds.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio invoked federal immigration law in June 2025 to determine that Salah Sarsour, the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, could be deported because his presence in the United States could have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. Government lawyers cited Sarsour’s decades-old convictions in Israel, including for throwing rocks at Israeli military personnel and attempting to procure weapons, in arguing that he posed a national security threat.

‘Disturbing’: Belleville, Ont., synagogue receives antisemitic flyers after shooting

Antisemitic flyers were distributed this week to a Belleville, Ont., synagogue targeted in a shooting last month as well as the surrounding neighbourhoods, the synagogue’s president said Friday.

Norman Weddum said he woke up Thursday morning to find four different flyers blaming Jewish people “for everything under the sun” had been distributed overnight to the Sons of Jacob synagogue and throughout the city’s east end.

“The number of flyers that were distributed and posted, it couldn’t have been done by one person,” he said.

No Worries: Rotherham Man Explodes on Street, Determined to Be a ‘Household Accident’

Rotherham, England, in Yorkshire, seems like one of the picture-postcard British places that the lovely Labour minister insists never existed. You know – the Britain of black labs, warm ale, and pubs. The city of a little over a quarter million people has what looks like a quintessential center, but it quickly gives way to parks and open spaces that roll out into rural farmland beyond.

The city sits at the confluence of two rivers and has been a bustling settlement site since the early Iron Age and into the Roman occupation. It earned its Market Charter, or the legal right to hold markets or fairs, from King John in 1207.

Poll of 10,000 Canadians finds half consider US to be an adversary and 45% feel worse off today than a year ago

Canadians are feeling relatively “jaunty” in the face of a trade war with a country they now view as an adversary and no friend, even while saying they feel worse off than they did a year ago, according to a new poll of more than 10,000 Canadian adults.

Most believe Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government are best suited to handle trade negotiations and American designs on Canada, and most voters overall feel the Liberals are making headway and “doing some good things” — or they’re at least giving them the benefit of the doubt that they will.

Seoul warns ‘further action’ if Ukraine does not apologise over prisoner-of-war row

South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has threatened to take unspecified “further action” if Ukraine does not issue a public apology for revealing that two North Korean prisoners of war had been sent to the South.

Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky made the disclosure to the UN general assembly last week, angering Seoul, who said the move was meant to stay secret.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Thursday described the situation as a “diplomatic misunderstanding”, adding that Kyiv was “working” to resolve it.

Odd. But probably not an accident.

The US should no longer accept the UN’s dysfunction

Thirty years ago, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali offered an ambitious vision of the institution he led. The Cold War was over. Globalization was drawing countries together even as fragmentation threatened to pull them apart. The United Nations, he argued, could help build a more cooperative international order.

He was remarkably confident. Nations would be bound closer together, and the credibility of the U.N. would deepen “year by year.”
