Six months after US President Donald J. Trump unveiled his ambitious ceasefire and reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group remains more armed, entrenched, and openly defiant than ever. Far from disarming, the Islamist group now controls roughly half the Gaza Strip and much of its population, while making a mockery of Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative and the international mediators sponsoring it.
Government-Controlled AI Could Enable Surveillance, Impact Free Expression: Report
Greater government control over artificial intelligence in Canada could allow increased surveillance of users and discourage people from speaking freely in private interactions with AI systems, according to a Canadian rights advocacy group.

STUDY: George Soros Pumped $204M into Groups Badgering Charities to Resume SPLC Donations
Whenever there’s a threat to George Soros’s regime, you can bet that a number of his grantees will swarm like bees to protect the hive. Enter the disgraced, extremist Southern Poverty Law Center.
A number of lefty organizations and activists penned an open letter to leadership at Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable and Charles Schwab Affiliate DAFgiving360 lambasting them for halting donations to the SPLC following a massive fraud scandal. The Department of Justice announced April 21 that the SPLC was indicted on multiple fraud charges for financing the very white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups it was claiming for years to be crusading against, to the tune of $3 million.
LILLEY: Tariffs not to blame for Honda’s decision to axe EV plant in Alliston

The announcement on April 25, 2024, promised a $15-billion investment from Honda for a new EV assembly line and a battery plant. The federal government promised up to $2.5 billion in production tax credits and the provincial government promised up to another $2.5 billion in support.

HUNTER: B.C. cops target extortion rackets by naming and shaming
The judiciary, so-called civil society rackets, and the faculty lounge must be sputtering with rage.
Cops in Surrey, B.C. did something utterly counter-intuitive in Canada: They released a slew of mugshots of suspected criminals in the Vancouver suburb’s chaotic extortion rackets.
This is criminal abuse by the Liberal Party.

The drone war comes home: Canada scrambles to shield military bases in legal grey zone
The Canadian military has quietly started deploying counter-drone systems around its major ports and air bases as it grapples with both the technology and the legalities of shooting down uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), CBC News has learned.
The idea is to prevent the kind of grey-zone warfare incidents that have recently paralyzed parts of northern Europe, and to avert the kinds of surprise attacks which have characterized the war between Russia and Ukraine.
‘We had people come just to see it’: Amazon delivers its first UK parcels by drone
Amazon has become the first retailer in the UK to start a drone delivery service with a limited launch in Darlington, County Durham.
Packages weighing less than 5lb (2.2kg) and containing everyday items such as beauty products, batteries and cables are now being delivered within a 7.5 mile (12km) radius of Amazon’s fulfilment centre.

John Ivison: Trudeau’s big EV bet is officially a Flop
Wednesday’s report from the financial news site Nikkei Asia that Honda has suspended its plan to build a $15-billion electric vehicle plant in Ontario indefinitely comes as no surprise — particularly not to the federal government, which was told in January, sources say.
The big picture is that Canada’s ambitious gamble to be the locus for North American electric vehicle production has flopped and the battle now is to conserve the assembly plants that are already here.
US says migration has made Europe an ‘incubator’ for terrorism in new counter-terrorism strategy
The Trump administration has accused Europe of being an “incubator” for terrorism fuelled by mass migration, in a new counter-terrorism strategy unveiled on Wednesday.
The strategy also focuses on rooting out “violent left-wing extremists” including “radically pro-transgender” groups, as Trump’s conservative administration steps up its political attacks on opponents.
It also further places drug cartels in the Americas at the centre of counter-terrorism efforts.
