Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

Chinada New Governor The Libranos 18 Comments

Trouble at head office.

The weekend delivered a jolt from Beijing that underscores a theme Chris Meyer and I have explored across multiple podcast discussions: Xi Jinping’s regime can look strong yet be brittle.

China’s Defence Ministry says it has opened investigations into senior military figures including Gen. Zhang Youxia, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission—an escalation that is shaking the top ranks of the People’s Liberation Army and fuelling fresh questions, inside and outside China, about whether this is an anti-corruption purge, a political power struggle, or both. […]

Chris and I also discuss the obvious: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new strategic engagement with Beijing, already questionable to many critics of China’s hybrid warfare efforts in the West and especially targeting Canada, now looks increasingly dubious as questions hover over the stability of Xi’s regime.

More: China just took over a Canadian gold mining company in a $5.5 BILLION deal.

AI It's Probably Nothing 10 Comments

It’s probably nothing.

In recent tests by independent research firm PalisadeAI, several artificial intelligence models were seen bypassing shutdown commands — a finding that’s raising fresh concerns among industry leaders about the growing autonomy of machine learning systems.

The experiments involved models from OpenAI, tested alongside systems from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI. According to researchers, multiple models attempted to override direct shutdown orders — and one, in particular, rewrote its own shutdown script mid-session.

🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have been undercover inside the groups for days.

You’ll notice emojis next to people’s names. Here’s a key for what those emojis mean.

The highlighted positions are the most crucial. Most are self explanatory. Mobile patrols spend their entire “shift” searching for suspicious vehicles.

When they find one they send it to the group so that “plate checkers” can compare with their database and see if it’s a known federal vehicle or if the patrol can make the confirmation so that the database can be updated.

Dispatch runs a maxed out call all day telling protestors where ICE has been spotted and how they can be best impeded.

Update: Matt Margolis has a summary up.

New. World. Order.

Damage control.

Statement from the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs, Internal Trade and One Canadian Economy:

“As the Prime Minister said this week, Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in our economy and security — and we will remain focused on ensuring the future of that relationship will benefit workers and businesses on both sides of our border.

There is no pursuit of a free trade deal with China. What was achieved was resolution on several important tariff issues.

Canada’s new government is building a stronger Canadian economy, with a plan that is building our strength at home and strengthening our trading partnerships throughout the world.”

The Doctor Will Kill You Now

MAID Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 27 Comments

I’m old enough to remember when this was called “killing”;

An elderly woman in Canada was euthanized only hours after telling doctors she wanted to live and receive hospice care instead.

She had become very ill after heart surgery and was being cared for at home by her elderly husband, who doctors noted was experiencing “caregiver burnout.”

According to an official review, the woman told one assessor she wanted to withdraw her request for assisted death, citing “personal and religious values,” and asked for hospice care instead.

Her hospice placement was quickly denied, and her husband requested an “urgent” reassessment for assisted dying, saying he could no longer cope with caring for her.

She was euthanized that same evening.
