A mind-blowing read at Sam Cooper’s The Bureau: How I accessed Top Secret intelligence on PRC election interference in Canada

This foggy September morning I was going to see with my own eyes whether disturbing information I was hearing about Chinese efforts to influence Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fix Canada’s recent federal elections could be substantiated by government documentation.

Confidential Source 3, a senior Canadian intelligence officer with broad access to high-level information from CSIS and the Privy Council Office arrived on their cycle and pulled a clear plastic bag from a waste pouch.

Inside I could see a wad of documents and BIC mini-lighter.

Confidential Source 3 explained they could face serious legal consequences for showing classified records to me.

“Special Rapporteur” David Johnston receives mention at the end. Read it all.

“Recalculating”…

It takes massive amounts of energy to power the data center brains of popular artificial intelligence models. That demand is only growing. In 2024, many of Silicon Valley’s largest tech giants and hoards of budding, well-funded startups have (very publically) aligned themselves with climate action–awash with PR about their sustainability goals, their carbon neutral pledges, and their promises to prioritize recycled materials. But as AI’s intensive energy demands become more apparent, it seems like many of those supposed green priorities could be jeopardized.

Don’t Blame Us for Your Kids Being So Stupid!

Remember the good old days when teaching was a noble profession and teachers excelled at teaching children the 3 R’s: Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic? In recent years, it seems that children are getting dumber and dumber. Well, it turns out that in Ontario, this isn’t possibly the fault of the teachers. Nope:

Four of Ontario’s largest school boards are suing the parent companies of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, alleging the social media platforms are disrupting student learning, contributing to a mental health crisis and leaving educators to manage the fallout.

The Toronto District School Board, the Peel District School Board, the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board filed four separate but similar cases in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice on Wednesday.

The lawsuits claim the social media platforms are negligently designed for compulsive use and have rewired the way children think, behave and learn, leaving teachers and schools to deal with the consequences.

Interesting take. One can only wonder how so many students have successfully learned:

  • How to be a good communist.
  • That all white people carry the stain of original sin.
  • That the Liberals and NDP are the benevolent angels and anyone else is a right-wing Nazi bigot.
  • That Mother Earth is soon to die any day now.
  • That Communist China are the U.S. Democrats are just swell and Trump is the Orange Hitler.

And that’s why I’m shopping online for the best cold weather survival tents.

Students tend to turn to ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence tool, when faced with increased academic workload and time constraints, according to new research published in the International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education. The study also reveals a concerning trend: reliance on ChatGPT is linked to procrastination, memory loss, and a decline in academic performance. These findings shed light on the role of generative AI in education, suggesting both its widespread use and potential drawbacks.

Electric cars will decide the outcome of the American election

If Joe Biden loses to Donald Trump this November, he can apportion blame towards his administration’s many unforced errors, from the botched Afghanistan bug-out to the mess at the southern border. But the biggest blunder of all has yet to fully reveal itself: the ill-conceived drive to push electric vehicles into making up over three-fifths of all car purchases by the 2030s.

Just last week the administration issued a draconian mileage requirement, one of many ‘nudge’ policies attempting to usher in an all-electric future. Replacing a massive $3 trillion industry with a singular technology represents a severe economic threat under any circumstances, but ramming through changes just as EV sales are slowing is nothing less than madness.

On the most recent episode of their podcast, Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky discuss what facts authorities knew very early in 2020 but chose not to act upon. Instead, their decisions to be dishonest about the facts, caused irreparable harm to children across the Western World. Have any of them ever been charged with anything for these actions or even suffered professionally. You know the answer. Sadly, you already know the answer.
