Can workers compete with machines and stay relevant in the AI era?


AI looks set to be transformative for us all, but it also brings a real risk of job losses and widening social and economic divides. UN experts are focusing on how to manage that transition, to ensure the benefits of the technology outweigh the threats.

Epstein files: FBI memo says Israel ‘compromised’ Trump, Epstein had Mossad ties


in reply to geneva_convenience

Crazy how I keep posting Epstein was working for Israel for the last couple months and most people dismissed it as conspiracy. Well well well. How the tables have turned.
in reply to Tuscy

lotta "conservative" (hate this word, they're fucking regressive not conservative) jews around the US about to find out they're not actually white enough for this club anymore...

(i assume worst case scenario, where trump isnt desposed of/things don't magically return to normal when he's gone)

in reply to IronBird

Someone mentioned “what if Epstein list is a distraction” and it’s making more sense now. Israel is trying to take over America then the world and enforce facism.. not so far fetched anymore.
in reply to Tuscy

israel already took over america, they're just scrambling to reassert control with all their blackmail coming to light.
in reply to geneva_convenience

Conspiracy theorists were actually right this whole time about an Israeli cabal controlling our world…
in reply to dogbert

Yep.

Kinda puts things into perspective when popular opinion can be so collectively and proudly incorrect.

I never assume the group is right just because they're in the majority anymore.

C'est son argument et il est tout pété, comme si le privé n'était pas financé par l'Etat. J'en ai parlé dans le billet parce que c'est un argument qui devient très répandu par la droite et l'XD dès qu'il s'agit de contester un évènement organisé par des universités ou grandes écoles publiques, ils brandissent la pancarte populiste "Et c'est fait avec nos impôts" dans la ligne de Nicolas qui paie, c'est ridicule mais ça percute j'en ai peur, il faut qu'on arrive à déminer ce truc

Imperial Oil says it will shutter Norman Wells oil operations this summer


Imperial Oil says it will end more than a century of oil production in Norman Wells later this year.

The closure has been in the works since 2022, but until now, there has been no solid timeline for the shutdown.

In a news release Friday, the company said the move is needed because of declining production at the site.

It said production is slated to end in the third quarter of 2026 "as the facility comes to the end of its lifespan."

Imperial Oil said it's working on a final closure and reclamation plan for the site. Reclamation work is not expected to start until after 2030.




Outgoing consumer advocate sideswipes PCs over their 'nonsense' handling of Churchill Falls MOU


Dennis Browne has been replaced as consumer advocate, but the usually soft-spoken and tactful St. John's lawyer is not going away quietly.

Browne was a guest on CBC Radio's The Signal on Thursday, and was heavily critical of Premier Tony Wakeham and the new PC government's handling of the Churchill Falls MOU, which was announced in late 2024 by a former Liberal government led by Andrew Furey.

Browne said Wakeham and his team have turned the issue into a "political football," are risking a deal between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec that has the potential to stabilize the province's finances, and described those appointed to review the MOU, specifically the chair, as "not much of a panel."

He also blasted the government for appointing lawyer Adrienne Ding, who has links to the PC Party, as the interim consumer advocate. Browne said his successor should have been selected by the Independent Appointments Commission, which was established by legislation a decade ago by another former Liberal premier, Dwight Ball.



Former Codiac Regional RCMP officer faces 7 more sex charges involving youths


A former New Brunswick RCMP officer is facing seven more sex-related criminal charges involving youths, an independent police watchdog agency announced Friday.

Former corporal Jeremy Bastarache, 38, from Shediac River, was charged in 2024 with communicating for a sexual purpose with someone he believed was under 16.

He is now accused of two more counts of that offence, making an arrangement with a person, for the purpose of facilitating a sexual offence towards a person. One count involves someone he believed to be under 16 and another he believed was under 18, according to the Serious Incident Response Team.

The other five charges include communicating for obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18 years, procuring a person under 18 for the purpose of facilitating an offence, trafficking a person under 18, as well as making and possessing child pornography.



Proposed tundra swan hunting season on Prairies prompts concern from hunter


The federal government is considering a proposal to establish a new hunting season for tundra swans in the Prairie provinces — a move that one hunter says could endanger trumpeter swans, a similar-looking, sensitive species.

Proposed changes to Canada's migratory bird regulations would create a new tundra swan hunting season in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Tundra swans are hunted in a handful of U.S. states, but in Canada they're currently a protected species at the federal level.

David Duncan, a hunter and retired biologist, says such a hunt could lead to people mistakenly shooting trumpeter swans, a sensitive species that can't be hunted anywhere in North America.

in reply to HellsBelle

I think the only way you'd figure it out would be field ambush hunting where you can get a good look at a flock as they come down in a pea field or something. It doesn't sound like they migrate together and their flyways might be fairly predictable for targeting hunting areas.

But other than size which is hard to judge on the wing, I wouldn't take a shot based on that.

I know a lot of people are instinctively against hunting, but with massive food availability on harvested fields in wintering areas with no predators, these species can grow out of control very quickly. Snow geese are devastating arctic areas that are very slow to rebound because of the sheer numbers and lack of hunters. I had heard about this sort of concern with mixing up swans with snow geese, though that's a lot easier to identify on the wing so I don't think there's been much bykill from that.



Children and police officers among at least 30 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza | Gaza | The Guardian


Gaza’s health ministry has recorded more than 500 Palestinians deaths by Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire on 10 October.

Despite Israel’s frequent killing of Palestinians in violation of the ceasefire, the deal has moved to a crucial second phase. Some of the thorniest issues are contained in this phase, which requires Hamas to disarm and hand over power to a Board of Peace organisation staffed by appointees of the US president, Donald Trump.

A recent presentation in Davos by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also involved in Trump’s Gaza project, showed the Trump administration’s plan for “developing Gaza”, complete with futuristic skyscrapers overlooking the Mediterranean.

Most of Gaza has been levelled and basic infrastructure remains inoperable as a result of Israeli bombing over the past two years, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians. Last year, a UN commission of inquiry found that Israel had committed a genocide in Gaza.

Why is this in the canada sub... Its bad enough getting all the "Trump says..." posts.
in reply to Levi

We should make a community that is just TrumpSays
in reply to Levi

It's relevant because Canada is giving Israel weapons to do this, so some of those deaths are caused by our government.
in reply to snoons

While I agree with that, I think it would be better if you shared this as a text post with your own title and discussion + the link / context in the body of the post. That way the post is still specific to the community, and both users and mods can quickly see that it is indeed relevant to the community :)
