Susan Riley: Carney’s response to war in the Middle East has so far seemed hasty, morally queasy, intellectually convoluted and—attempts at clarification, notwithstanding—continues to be deeply disappointing to many Canadians.

On the left: a photo of a soldier climbing onto a boat with the ocean in the background. On the right: text that reads “America is bombing drug boats, killing dozens. Ottawa won’t clarify its role. Inside the legal grey zone of Canada–US military co-operation.”
The US has killed more than 150 people in the so-called counter-narco-terrorism campaign known as Operation Southern Spear. Canada is involved—but Ottawa isn’t sharing to what degree. Journalist Christy Somos investigates: https://ow.ly/WT8Z50YrzMM

Observations from Montreal
An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.
“A majority of Canadians see Pierre Poilievre as a threat to national unity, and just 22% believe he's the best choice for prime minister. Instead of embracing a more likeable party leader, the Conservatives are doubling down on rage-bait and division.”

Hey Sen. Husted, it is the "real world". It's a world engineered by the wealthy to keep the financially poor forever under their boot heels.

I may not know who the masked ICE agents are, but I can damn well make choices to challenge the technologists I know that are working directly or indirectly on the deportation and rendition machine, and who advertise as much on their LinkedIn pages.

Matt Welsh
Head of AI Systems at Palantir

Returning from an overseas deployment supporting advanced technology development for the armed forces (and, yes, being somewhat vague), I'm reflecting on how my work at Palantir may be the most meaningful thing I've done in my career. If you like solving hard problems and building things that really matter, we're hiring -- drop me a line and let's chat.

Matt, I don't understand how to reconcile the thoughtful and empathetic engineering leader I knew when we worked together at Google, and you choosing to work at Palantir under the Trump administration, with Palantir assisting in carrying out some of the worst human rights abuses enacted by DHS, and openly embracing the lawless, white supremacist agenda of President Trump.
I just... can't any more.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

Is Donald Trump About to Launch a Denaturalization Purge?
Mass denaturalization could be used to move the country toward the MAGA movement’s larger goal of a white Christian nationalist United States.
“Naturalized citizens are the obvious next category to be added to the purge, and, unlike some of Trump’s other brash eviscerations of due process that his administration is considering, the legal architecture for stripping people of their citizenship already exists.“

In 1902, Abigail Roberson sued when she discovered her face printed on flour sacks everywhere without her consent; the case led to one of the first privacy statutes in NY. But AI impersonations are fine, I guess
