Two of Montreal's best lawyers are challenging the city's authoritarian and embarrassing bylaw against insulting police officers. They've asked for a hearing on October 8.
Now @EnsembleMtl will force all of us to pay a team of lawyers to defend this bylaw and lose.

For the first time, Public Safety Canada has stated explicitly that its definition of antisemitism includes opposing Zionism. As the Ministry that oversees enforcement agencies like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), this conflation is very alarming.
As acts of right-wing extremism rise, including the recent abhorrent attempted shooting of an Ontario synagogue full of congregants on Yom Kippur, the Canadian government must ensure the safety of all Canadians to practice their faith in peace and participate freely in society without fear. Incitement, threats and violence can never be accepted.
However, these incidents cannot be used as an excuse to repress legitimate political expression. Palestinian Canadians have the right to to participate fully in Canadian society, including civil and political discourse on issues that directly affect their families. They must be able to honour their relationship to their ancestral homeland and to name the political ideology that perpetuates their displacement and erasure, and they must be able to do so without fear of criminalization or discrimination. These are fundamental rights enshrined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
We are steadfast in our legal efforts to protect the rights of both Palestinian Canadians and those who stand with them in solidarity, and are exploring our options for responding to this dangerous conflation accordingly.

rape an unconcious woman behind a dumpster? you have a bright future.
gang rape a woman with your teammates? you'll still get drafted to the NHL.
drug & rape a student with your frat bros? just write an essay.
say 'free palestine'? expelled & charged with acts of terrorism.

MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.
And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it.
The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening.
This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free.
A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action.
So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying.
Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough.
Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation.
Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally.
The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model.
What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

I never have to block so many racists as when I’m tweeting about Indigenous ppl. This behaviour is bred in Canadian society and condoned by Canadian structures and people in leadership

Our thoughts on the temporary resident permit -TRP -under s.24 of the Act. Likely oversubscribed and the reason for it the huge numbers of temporary residents/foreign nationals in Canada with shrinking options to remain. There is a gap between the jurisprudence which argues for more flexibility and official IRCC guidance which seeks it seems to elevate the evaluative threshold and put in place language somewhat reminiscent of H&C decision making pre-Kanthasamy. The TRP remains a valuable tool, but caution should be exercised in presenting it as an option to every case of non-compliance/inadmissibility: sshlaw.ca/the-trp-sometimes-…

Why is residential school denialism not on the same level of hate as denying the Holocaust?

When Canada added the offence of "advocating or promoting genocide" to the Criminal Code in 1970, it intentionally excluded three of the five acts of genocide listed in the Genocide Convention:
🇨🇦 Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
🇨🇦 Imposing measures intended to prevent births; and
🇨🇦 Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
It wasn't until 2000, just a few years after the last residential school closed, that the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act brought the full international definition of genocide into Canadian law.

“In social science, we refer to this basic problem as ‘construct validity,’ and it means that a researcher is not properly measuring what it is they are trying to measure. In this case, antisemitism and anti-Zionism are being measured by all examples labelled as antisemitism.” canadiandimension.com/articl…

WATCH: A new report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says Ontario's outsourcing of some medical treatments to private clinics has not reduced wait times. For example, MRI waits rose from 35 days in 2017 to 47 days in 2025. ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/…

"Jews should murder the head of the NDP" is a hell of a take to be funded by the Canadian government.
Absolutely diabolical. National Post puts a bullseye on Avi Lewis through the rabid ramblings of Yoni Goldstein who invokes Halakhah and Leviticus on how to deal with Jews. Writing Lewis “presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community” & other Jews are “duty-bound to step in.” This is so irresponsible. The National Post should be stripped of any government funding it receives from Canada. This is wholly negligent and irresponsible.

This is appalling, irresponsible and likely criminal. Threatening and inciting others to remove a Canadian political leader for his political views is outrageous. Both the author and the National Post must retract, apologize and reverse this message at once.

Federal Court rules that completing post-secondary education in English is evidence of English language proficiency that immigration officers must meaningfully assess when considering a work permit application, even if it is not "current" proof.

Congratulations to Chief Justice Diner. He takes charge at a challenging time with the Court facing incredible pressure and immense backlog.
>>About 6,400 immigration cases were brought to Federal Court in 2020, a figure in line with the trend over the previous decade. The caseload spiked sharply in 2021, when 9,700 cases were sent to the court.
More than 28,000 cases were filed with the court last year, the vast majority of the almost 33,000 cases launched in the court in 2025.
More than 6,600 immigration proceedings began in the first quarter of 2026. Just under 8,000 proceedings began in that time period in the entire Federal Court.
