Europe considering proposals to allow navigational fees in strait of Hormuz

Europe is studying proposals that may allow the charging of navigational fees in the strait of Hormuz so long as the tolls are not compulsory and have the support of the UN agency that regulates maritime transport.

Britain’s deputy prime minister, David Lammy, said the imposition of compulsory tolls would be disastrous. But some of his cabinet colleagues said they recognised that systems of payments for specific navigational services were permissible in many natural waterways, including the strait of Malacca and the Channel.

Canada’s next defence fight won’t be over spending. It’ll be over trust

If there’s one catchphrase to sum up the dilemma facing Canada and other allies post-NATO summit, it might very well be: Show me the money.

Britain found out the hard way recently that being able to account for an avalanche of money going to defence and security is a live, visceral political and policy issue that is capable of causing damage and casualties.

WARMINGTON: Toronto’s Zombie Apocalypse not a horror film but sadly very real

Welcome to Zombieland.

But this is no movie being filmed in Toronto or about the city.

Increasing Number Of Ivy League Students Can’t Even Read, So Let’s Stop Calling Them ‘Elite’

When a Harvard student needs ChatGPT to help with reading a novel, it’s clear that America’s high schools aren’t teaching students how to read.

A new story from The Atlantic shows the decline in literacy by telling the story of a Harvard student having trouble in class. Assistant Director for Humanities and Social Sciences Support Margaret Rennix said this student came to her and told her about using AI to translate Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange into easier language. Rennix told The Atlantic that the student was confused by what the student called “Old English” in the 1962 novel.
