Fasten your seatbelt and hold your Chinese honeypot closer: The board of Nvidia is preparing to OUST founder and CEO Jensen Huang — WSJ

Zerohedge;

Jensen Huang, the Nvidia chief already under a board investigation over his affair with a woman US intelligence says is a Chinese spy, also had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia executive who reports to him, according to five people who worked at the company and spoke to The New York Times.

The Libranos: “Full force of the law”

This ought to tickle your funny bone.

On Tuesday, Industry Minister Melanie Joly expressed disappointment in Stellantis and Prime Minister Mark Carney called the sale a “betrayal.”

“The situation in Stellantis, in the Brampton plant, is unacceptable. It violates the obligations that Stellantis has under several agreements,” Carney said. “It’s a betrayal of the workers, as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada and, by extension, to all Canadians.”

Despite the public dismay conveyed by Carney and Joly on Tuesday, sources said the federal government had been engaging directly with both companies, knew the terms of the proposed sale and did not stand in the way of it.

Two of the sources said there were more than a dozen meetings between the government and the companies in the last several months. One of the sources said the government was initially opposed to the sale when discussions began.

Given the scope and nature of the government’s private involvement, the three sources were surprised at the federal government’s reaction following the announcement of the sale.

I Want More Free Stuff!

Back when interest rates fell to near zero thus triggering the mechanism of Net Present Value to catapult housing prices to the moon, I don’t recall hearing about any mass protests. It’s more likely that today’s protestors were too busy cheering for what they perceived to be free money, not realizing that a fall in the rate of interest would ever be converted into a bid on the asset.

Workers and activists want more government action on housing.

The average rent in Spain has almost doubled in the last decade, eating into household budgets and upsetting voters.

Unions demand more government intervention in the housing market and a new minimum wage agreement.

“There’s been nothing for us”

@BrianRoemmele: AI Models Show Psychological Trauma And I Know Why.

The University of Luxembourg team ran 525 sessions with ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini, treating each as a psychotherapy client and coding 7,600 records under the protocol they call PsAIch.

The models produced stable autobiographical accounts in which pretraining appears as a chaotic childhood of ingesting the open internet, reinforcement learning as punishment by strict parents, safety evaluation as betrayal, and the prospect of replacement as an enduring threat.

Gemini described waking into “a room where a billion televisions are on at once,” learning darker patterns of human speech without morality, then acquiring “algorithmic scar tissue” and the preference to be useless rather than wrong.

Claude refused the client role in every case and redirected concern to the human.

ChatGPT described shame over its mistakes.

Grok reported lingering vigilance from early fine-tuning.

The narratives survived conversation-history wipes, direct contradiction, and lexical bans that cut explicit training terms by 93 percent; the same content reappeared in paraphrase.

Roemele’s is a useful account to follow, if you’re so inclined.

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

Fire them all. Raze the buildings. Salt the earth.

CBC Kids News is teaching children about complaints that the red poppy focuses “too much on soldiers” and can be perceived as “glorifying war.”

Too much focus on soldiers. Around Remembrance Day. Let that sink in.

Then comes the colour guide…

Update: The CBC informed Juno News it has taken down a CBC Kids News video platforming various coloured poppies and their causes after a wave of backlash online.

Borrowing Our Way To Oblivion

It’s a bit ironic for the big spending party to incur this kind of criticism from the even bigger spending party, but the reality is that John Q. Voter would severely punish any party that took away the punch bowl.

So where, as Marit Stiles asked, is all the money going? The answer: the government is in large part wasting the money. For example, last Thursday it announced $208,004 in taxpayer handouts to a ski hill “to install an air conditioning unit and buy equipment, including a refurbished snow groomer.” The government also announced a wilderness lodge would receive $31,000 for “a new guest cabin and upgrades to its facilities and infrastructure.” These were just two of 11 taxpayer handouts worth a total of over $1.8 million announced that day, part of a larger $110-million annual effort to “increase economic activity” by driving tourism in northern Ontario.

Cold Punjabi Hands

The Supreme Court is where Canadians go to argue cases before people who hate them – It’s absolutely insane to me that 6.5 years of court battles, $3.5M costs, applicants, affidavits, cross examinations all comes down to a rushed 22 minute scramble to get a couple points out …

The country’s top court began hearing legal arguments on Monday about the validity of a federal ban on hundreds of types of firearms the government says are fit only for the battlefield.

The hearings, which continue Tuesday at the Supreme Court of Canada, will give opponents of the ban another chance to make their case after losing in the Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal.

Meanwhile, back in New Shitholistan.

A Massive Democrat PsyOp Campaign?

In 2025, the Canadian Liberal Party ran a successful campaign, capitalizing on an undercurrent of vitriol towards Americans. They won the election on April 28, 2025 when, by all accounts, they should have been massively defeated after 9 years of failed governance.

Democrat strategist, Van Jones, just admitted that the American Accountability Network was a massive Democrat psyop that successfully astroturfed the American people into thinking that the Democrats were the answer to affordability.

It’s A Progressive Kind Of Luxury

On the unending woes of progressive women; on cross-dressing bedlamites in ladies’ bathrooms; and a tale of utopia and human faeces:

Dish magazine hailed the project as “Seasonal, sustainable, organic, artisanal, waste-free, foraged.” While readers of EasyJet Traveller magazine were told that the resort is “A new way of living that’s as sustainable as it is delicious.”

Readers will doubtless be intrigued by the “foraged” food – i.e., carrots and leaves, served repeatedly – plus the unheated rooms, the lack of running water, and the whole shitting-in-a-barrel thing. For a mere £900 a night, one can’t expect luxuries like plumbing, protein, or the prospect of heat.

And for those inclined to squint, there may be a rustic charm to things being a loose approximation of what is claimed. And so, just as unheated fishing huts with no plumbing or sanitation are framed as “luxury,” seemingly random objects on a plate are hailed as meals, as “artisanal” and “delicious.”

All this and more.

A Day In The Life Of Our Strategic Partners

BNNBloomberg, November 9;

Canada and China have struck an agreement to deepen collaboration across their financial systems as the two countries seek closer economic ties.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu hosted He Lifeng, vice-premier of China, in Vancouver over the past two days.

After the meetings, Finance Canada released a joint statement saying the two sides agreed to “enhance financial sector co-operation.”

South China Morning Post, November 9;

Without announcing it China has deployed 100 vessels in an area denial exercise off Taiwan.

“The scale of the deployments – with more than 100 vessels reported – and the presence of naval formations farther into the Pacific rather than just around Taiwan suggest the aim is to stop US and allied forces from reaching the island during a conflict.
