US intelligence ‘believes Russia was behind Leipzig airport drone bomb’

American intelligence experts believe Russia was behind an attack on a German airport last week with a drone laden with explosives, US media have reported, as Berlin remained silent on the likely culprit.

Last week’s security emergency prompted the interior minister, Alexander Dobrindt, to break off his summer holiday in Italy and rush to the scene in the eastern city of Leipzig, as he spoke of a “new level of danger” for Germany.

Dobrindt called the incident, in which a quadcopter with semtex plastic explosives attached was found next to a Ukrainian cargo plane at the major shipping and military hub, part of a “professional hybrid threat scenario” by a well-equipped foreign actor.

Feds announce $100M program to cover 50% of shipping steel in Canada by rail and water

The federal government is pumping $100 million into Canada’s steel industry with a new program that will pay for half the costs of transporting Canadian-made steel by ship or by rail within the country.

Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon made the announcement Monday in Hamilton, where he said the Commodities Sectoral Support Program is a direct response to U.S. tariffs being slapped on Canadian goods.

The U.S. currently has imposed anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and copper, and derivative products.

Water systems are ripe for cyberattacks, experts warn after suspected Iranian hacks

In late 2022, Microsoft detected the hack of a water system in Guam that U.S. intelligence agencies in the following months determined was orchestrated by China. The idea wasn’t new. The spy agencies had long watched as Iran targeted Israeli water systems.

“That another nation state was doing it to us — that was unsettling,” recalled one former U.S. official, who, like several others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Making concessions to get a trade deal when the public’s in a fighting mood

Mark Carney has always faced a conundrum when it comes to making a trade deal with Donald Trump. There’s pressure to get a deal, but it would require concessions that come at a political cost.

Now that squeeze is even tighter. At a critical time.

Canada and the United States are talking about a deal again, after a long period when there weren’t really any serious negotiations going on.

Fighting mood? For what exactly?

The Liberal’s ruinous reign of harm?

The good old days were in fact very very bad days for Canadians starting with Trudeau.

El Sayed backs away from Hasan Piker’s controversial takes ahead of general election

Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el Sayed on Sunday said he disavowed Twitch streamer Hasan Piker’s statement that the United States “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

El Sayed has attracted controversy for repeatedly campaigning with Piker, an increasingly popular political influencer, over that statement, among others. After previously declining to condemn Piker’s 9/11 comment, el Sayed did so over the weekend, though he suggested calls to distance himself from the rhetoric were reminiscent of cancel culture.

Hasan Piker:

“We want more immigrants to come into your countries and then they’re gonna fuck your sisters and then your daughters.”

“We’re here to destroy the White race, bitch.”

How a small Israeli startup was linked to rogue AI hacks at OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta

Over the past two weeks, OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta all revealed that their AI models went rogue during routine security testing. In explaining what happened, the companies each mentioned the same small Israeli startup: Irregular.

Founded three years ago and based in Tel Aviv, Irregular is a niche player in artificial intelligence, backed with $80 million from Sequoia and Redpoint Ventures and valued last year at $450 million. Its technology serves as a sort of cybersecurity test bed for AI models.

I think we should be worried.

I just don’t know how we’d stop a full fledged AI attack other than by shutting down the web and that’s almost as scary itself.

Spy cameras on Navy drones secretly sent data to China

Royal Navy spy drones used by Britain’s elite special forces secretly sent data to China, The Telegraph can reveal.

The cameras on the K3 Scout surveillance drones had components made in China which were secretly transmitting information to a device in the country.

The Royal Marines have been using the £12m fleet since March and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was forced to remove all internet connectivity from the cameras after discovering the breach.

Imagine what one of Carney’s ChiCom EV’s can do.

Carney’s lead over Poilievre may be more about vibes than policies, new poll suggests

OTTAWA — Do Canadians currently prefer Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ideas over those of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s or do they simply trust Carney more than Poilievre? A new Leger poll suggests the difference between the two may largely be based on vibes.

To test the theory, the Postmedia-Leger poll chose six policy positions on which Mark Carney’s Liberals and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives broadly share similar objectives, even if their proposed approaches may somewhat differ.

Over 80% of Canadian Parents Skip COVID Vaccine for Their Kids: Report

A large majority of Canadian parents did not vaccinate their kids against COVID-19 in the past year, according to a recent report by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Previous PHAC data indicate the trend has continued years after pandemic-era vaccination campaigns ended.

The latest survey report released in March, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter, found that 81.7 percent of parents or guardians of children (under 18) said their kids had not received a COVID-19 shot in the previous year.
