Whatever one thinks of Alberta’s separation movement, the referendum question it seeks to pose to Albertans is a vast improvement over those confronting voters in the 1995 and 1980 Quebec referenda on separation.
Texas Highways Have a New Nighttime Creature: Autonomous Trucks
Autonomous trucks are now driving highways at night, hauling food and dairy between Dallas and Houston.
It’s a big step forward for autonomous trucking. While Waymo for years has been operating driverless robotaxis around the clock in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, autonomous trucks until recently have stuck mainly to daytime hours and good weather.
Aurora Innovation, the startup behind the trucks on the Dallas-Houston route, said Wednesday it had reached a new milestone with its Lidar system, which bounces lasers off surrounding objects to “see” its surroundings in 3-D. Aurora said its system is now able, in the dark, to detect objects further than the length of three football fields, enabling the vehicle to identify pedestrians, other vehicles or debris on the road about 11 seconds sooner than a human driver.
How a CRA employee cycled through rehirings, a firing and 15 years of legal battles
15 years of grievances, lawsuits and appeals reveal cracks in Canada’s public service system
With a labour relations board decision in June, the Canada Revenue Agency took another step toward parting ways with the same employee for the third time in more than 15 years.
That employee, Mohammed Tibilla, is a former CRA worker based in Montreal. Over the years, he has launched administrative or legal actions and filed appeals against the agency, his union and his supervisors numerous times, exposing weak spots in federal systems — and underscoring the challenges Prime Minister Mark Carney faces in trying to make the government more streamlined and responsive.
Years After BLM, Antifa Riots, COVID, PBS Finds Masks Are Bad Now That ICE Uses Them
Years after the Black Lives Matter protests and attendant vandalism, looting and burning, the PBS News division is suddenly worried that masks….help people get away with crimes! Why the sudden interest? Well, it’s a way to indirectly fault ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for criminals impersonating agents. Sunday’s NewsHour Weekend segment carried the online headline “Rise of ICE agents wearing masks creates opportunity for imposters to conduct crimes.”
OLDCORN: Looney Tunes Rachel Gilmore rails against Conservative MPs defending Christian artist Sean Feucht
Looney Tunes Rachel Gilmore’s latest tirade on Twitter/X proves once again that she has little patience for anyone disagreeing with her far-left beliefs.
Christian believers have the basic right to speak and sing in public. No one is forcing Gilmore to participate in American Christian worship leader Sean Feucht’s free summer concert tour.
The Male Rachel Zegler Pedro Pascal Appears to Endorse Throwing Trump and ‘Fascists‘ into Outer Space
Pedro Pascal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, two of the stars of Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps, appeared to endorse the idea of casting President Donald Trump into outer space to die in a video of a promotional interview for the newly released film.
Peter MacKinnon: Nurses warned of ‘imbalances’ in ‘colonial’ health-care system
Two centuries ago, liberal theorist John Stuart Mill wrote in his classic, On Liberty, that human liberty requires freedom of conscience, thought and feeling: “absolute freedom of opinion and sentiment on all subjects, practical or speculative, scientific, moral or theological.” His thinking has recently taken a battering, not least in our universities, but that beating is now joined by the foray of the Canadian Nurses Association into political thought.
Sitting U.S. Senator Now Implicated in Russia Hoax Cover-Up
In recent weeks, a scandal of epic proportions has come to light, confirming that the Obama administration rigged intelligence to concoct the Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, and the conspiracy went all the way to the top: Barack Obama himself.
Top army commander says ‘completely unacceptable’ behaviour is eroding trust in the Canadian Forces
Top army commander says ‘completely unacceptable’ behaviour is eroding trust in the Canadian Forces
The credibility and reputation of the Canadian Army is once again being questioned following an investigation into alleged extremist activities involving soldiers in Quebec and revelations of inappropriate social media posts by members of an Ottawa-based reserve unit, the country’s army commander acknowledged Wednesday.
Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright said in an interview with CBC News that the recent twin controversies are eroding the trust the military has worked to regain following the high-profile sexual misconduct scandal, which saw the resignation or retirement of a number of high-profile leaders.
Oh I think it happened much earlier … and it’s called going woke.
Trump’s DOE Ditches 400 Climate Cultists, Taps 5 Experts for Balanced ‘Climate Assessment’
In April of this year, at the height of the DOGE movement, President Donald Trump ditched 400 climate cultists who were slated to prepare the “National Climate Assessment.”
The howling from the elite media and eco-extremists was extraordinary.

GUNTER: Elections Canada put an end to Longest Ballot Committee’s trickery
So the Longest Ballot Committee has been thwarted — sort of — in its effort to hijack next month’s byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot.
The committee’s stunt of clogging the ballot in the central Alberta riding with more than 200 names worked. By the close of nominations on Tuesday, the committee had convinced more than 200 of its supporters to let their names stand, even though most of them have never been to the riding and have no intention of campaigning.
Swedish jihadi jailed for life over infamous murder of pilot
The Stockholm District Court on Thursday sentenced Swedish national Osama K. to life in prison for his role in the 2015 murder of a Jordanian pilot who was burned alive by the “Islamic State” (IS) militant group in Syria.
K. was found guilty of participating in the execution by helping to force the pilot into a metal cage ahead of one of the militant group’s most infamous murders. The conviction is the first of anyone tried over the high-profile execution.
Jamie Sarkonak: It shouldn’t take 16 years to deport a foreign criminal
Gagandip Jhuty, an Indian national, should have been deported in 2009 due to his criminal history, but it was only this July that Canadian officials scheduled his flight out. Why? Because for 16 years, India refused to issue him a passport.
That’s how it works in Canada: anyone being deported needs to have travel documents on hand. So, if they entered illegally and never had such documents to begin with, they can’t be sent home until that problem is resolved. If a country doesn’t want to repatriate the deportee in question, it can simply ignore our requests — for years.
