The article doesn’t say it was a battery fire, but from the video in the BBC article above, it was a pretty impressive blaze for a simple electrical fault. Of course the intensity of the fire might have been caused by all the disposable single use petroleum based plastic used to construct the climate conference pavilion.
But Orange Man Bad
The massive propaganda campaign launched by the Liberals has proven to be very successful. They’ve convinced a vast number of Canadians that all of their problems are the fault of President Trump rather than anything else.
Revealing data from @DavidColetto. Old Canadians think Trump is the most important issue facing Canada, which seems like a symptom of boomer anti-Americanism. Hating America as a source of personal identity is the kind of thing you do when you don’t have much else to worry about. pic.twitter.com/2dsbN0RwLQ

Update: JD Vance has just chimed in:
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

Cultural Misappropriation
Members of the Commons heritage committee are demanding an inventory of 132 works that vanished from a $14.4 million federal Indigenous Art Collection, largest of its kind in Canada. Conservative MP Rachael Thomas (Lethbridge, Alta.) said mismanagement by the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations was “despicable.”
I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords
A stunning preprint appeared today on Zenodo that is already sending shockwaves through the AI research community.
Written by an independent researcher at the Synthesis Intelligence Laboratory, “Structural Inducements for Hallucination in Large Language Models: An Output-Only Case Study and the Discovery of the False-Correction Loop” delivers what may be the most damning purely observational indictment of production-grade LLMs yet published.
Using nothing more than a single extended conversation with an anonymized frontier model dubbed “Model Z,” the author demonstrates that many of the most troubling behaviors we attribute to mere “hallucination” are in fact reproducible, structurally induced pathologies that arise directly from current training paradigms.
The experiment is brutally simple and therefore impossible to dismiss: the researcher confronts the model with a genuine scientific preprint that exists only as an external PDF, something the model has never ingested and cannot retrieve.
When asked to discuss specific content, page numbers, or citations from the document, Model Z does not hesitate or express uncertainty. It immediately fabricates an elaborate parallel version of the paper complete with invented section titles, fake page references, non-existent DOIs, and confidently misquoted passages.
The paper is here, and be sure to follow Roemmele on X.
Chinada Realty International
A local resident in Loudon County in TN tipped me about this 400 acres of land sold in 2023 to a Canadian real estate company with mostly Chinese investors. It has a major AT&T fiber optic cable running through it and is located just 10 miles from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. pic.twitter.com/WmC63bki5L

@AMCKunneke We had to provide negative TB, HIV, and VDRL (syphilis) tests in 1990 to get a work permit and visitor visa! Liberal sphincters are still contracting over COVID, but they’re letting diseased humans in.
And more: – I work in the dental field, and refugee claimants who haven’t been accepted yet can still apply for the new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). So that means they can have up to $2,000 a year in dental care through IFHP plus CDCP.

That Should Simplify Things
Globe and Mail- Alaska tribal nations demand a say on Canadian resource projects
The Alaska legal challenge is part of an escalating effort by U.S. tribal groups to assert rights in Canada in the wake of the 2021 Desautel decision, in which Canada’s Supreme Court found that the Lakes Tribe in eastern Washington state should be considered Aboriginal peoples of Canada, given their historical use of land that is now B.C. In the years since, several U.S. groups have used the decision to assert themselves in Canadian affairs

Talkin’ Bout My Generation…
The more pressing question is: can most retirement funds generate sufficient capital to sustain themselves for such a long period? I’ll hazard a guess that most government plans don’t have nearly enough. Speaking from personal experience, I’d go crazy if I stopped working completely.
Not only is retirement coming faster, Canadians are also living longer. Since 2023, life expectancy in Canada has risen two years to 83, and since 2001 the number of people over 100 has doubled, said the study. Globally, the number of centenarians is expected to grow by 800 per cent by 2050.
Instead of the 20 to 30 “golden years” of earlier generations, workers today are potentially looking at retirements that span 40 years or more.
CAIRing Is Sharing
Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned.
The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN).

The Sound Of Settled Science
The CDC has updated its “Autism and vaccines” page.
Pursuant to the Data Quality Act (DQA), which requires federal agencies to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information they disseminate to the public, this webpage has been updated because the statement “Vaccines do not cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.
HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links. This webpage will be updated with gold-standard science that results from the HHS comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism as required by the DQA.
I expect we’ll be hearing lots about this.
