US, UK and Australia to develop underwater drone technology

The US, UK and Australia say they will develop underwater drone technology to protect undersea cables and boost defence, under their military alliance known as Aukus.

The uncrewed undersea vehicle (UUV) technology is expected to be ready by next year. While the project’s total cost was not stated, UK Defence Secretary John Healey said his nation would contribute £150m ($201m).

The announcement, made by the countries’ defence ministers at a security summit in Singapore, follows claims of slow progress in Aukus’s projects.

I bet Carney has something cooking with China!

Morgan: Carney’s Caucus Challenge

Morgan: Carney’s Caucus Challenge

While Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tries to maintain a balancing act between sovereigntists in Alberta and federalists, Prime Minister Mark Carney is walking a tightrope between factions within his own party that is no less precarious. The risk in trying to placate disparate views for too long is having a faction break away in discontent. Carney can only maintain equilibrium for so long before he finds himself forced to stand solidly on one side of his party or the other.

Champagne mocked after comparing EV subsidies to Ford Model T

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is facing criticism after incorrectly claiming the Ford Model T was not a success, while defending Ottawa’s $52 billion electric vehicle subsidy strategy.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Champagne made the remarks during heated Commons committee questioning over the federal government’s massive spending on electric vehicle projects, many of which have faced delays, layoffs or uncertainty.

All for one: Norway, Germany sell Canada on shared submarine fleet

Both Norway and Germany invoked an all-for-one, one-for-all approach as they this week sharpened their public and private pitches for Canada to select the Type 212CD as the navy’s next submarine.

Both long-standing NATO allies, the two European powers are now putting more emphasis on what it means for Arctic and North Atlantic security for three nations to operate the same boat.

“We are thinking of the submarine fleet not as a Norwegian fleet and a German fleet and a Canadian fleet, we were thinking of a common fleet,” Marte Gerhardsen, the state secretary to Norway’s minister of defence, told CBC News in an interview this week.

The Cyber Apocalypse Nobody’s Ready For: Why Q-Day Changes Everything

or years, “cyber apocalypse” talk sounded like the tech version of a guy on a street corner holding a cardboard sign predicting the end times. Y2K came and went with barely a flicker. The Mayan calendar became a punchline. Even most ransomware attacks, destructive as they’ve been, still operated within recognizable rules. Servers go down. Companies panic. Bitcoin wallets light up. Insurance adjusters start chain-smoking.

The Battle Over Britain’s Lost Youth

In psychology there is a concept known as agentic living: the idea that we have some sort of agency over our own lives. At heart it is a throwback to the age-old philosophical question: are we determinists who believe we live at the mercy of a fate already written, or do we, as Augustine hammered out, have freewill? On reading Alan Milburn’s excoriating interim report into ‘the moral crisis’ of one million 16–24 year-olds who are not in work or education (NEETs), it becomes obvious there is a sharp dividing line between determinists and those who attempt to exert agentic freewill.

Henry Nowak and the savagery of state wokeness

Henry Nowak and the savagery of state wokeness

So this is where wokeness has dragged us. Into a moral abyss where a boy is handcuffed by cops as he bleeds to death. Into a wasteland of virtue where an 18-year-old lad, stabbed five times, is treated as a speechcriminal as he gasps his final breaths. Into a sorry, dystopic excuse for a society where the last words a youngster hears are the defamatory cries of the man who killed him. ‘He was racist’, his murderer said. ‘I can’t breathe’, the boy begged.

Outrage as three teenage rapists avoid jail and are fined just £26 each: ‘It is less than a parking fine’

Teenage rapists are being let off with £26 fines after being convicted of attacking girls as young as 14.

Rape campaigners reacted with fury yesterday as it emerged that in at least three cases teenage perpetrators have been spared jail and handed rehabilitation orders with financial penalties that are ‘less than a parking ticket’.

Harriet Wistrich, head of the Centre for Women’s Justice, has called for a review to establish whether lenient sentences are becoming the norm.
