The Minister of Colleges & Universities gets a standing ovation at Queen's Park for refusing to resign.
The call came from the interim Liberal leader, who accused Nolan Quinn of continuing to send hundreds of millions of OSAP dollars to private career colleges despite warnings.

Cleveland-Cliffs CEO: I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company.
David Cochrane: Am I understanding you correctly there? It was a defensive acquisition?

“We have a bunch of bad apples and they’re going to jail.”
Premier Doug Ford argues bad actors — not his government — are to blame for exploiting the OSAP system, as Liberals call for the resignation of his Colleges Minister Nolan Quinn.

Anthropic just filed to go public.
Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions:
1.) AI could cause human extinction.
2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors.
3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown.
4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception.
5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior.
6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions.
7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth.
8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts.
9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control.
10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm.
These are disclosures from the company building the technology.
Anthropic has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC related to its proposed IPO.

Two bins, 92 election ballots total, were found in a dumpster at Seattle’s Golden Gardens.
King County Elections confirmed the ballots were recovered and replacements issued to the affected voters. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service says it is investigating.
But this isn’t happening in isolation. In Utah, a former USPS carrier was indicted for allegedly dumping about 300 mail-in ballots. In California, officials are investigating mail theft that may have included ballots.
ProPublica just reported that USPS service cuts caused late-ballot rejection rates to double or triple in affected rural counties. The paper trail is getting harder to ignore.
If you sent in a mail-in ballot, make sure it’s been received. We need answers. Every ballot matters.

NEW: Education Minister Paul Calandra tells me he's "very excited" to have Stan Cho on his team, and that the "quality of his work since he's been an MPP is literally second to none."
Premier Ford announced Cho will be joining Calandra’s team as a parliamentary assistant — just three months after Cho resigned from cabinet for charging taxpayers $16,000 in Toronto hotel stays.
The new role comes with a $22,500 pay bump. Ford declined to comment. Story: thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Doug Ford is by far the worst thing to happen to Ontario. He is destroying Public Healthcare, Education, Transportation, OSC, Ontario Place...
And now he is forcing us to by electricity from New York while he are having a trade dispute with the USA.
He can't be gone soon enough.

NEW: In his first year running Ontario's largest school board, the Ford government's TDSB supervisor logged more than twice as many meetings with the board's $20B real estate arm than he did with parent groups, calendar entries reveal.
The FOI records offer a rare glimpse into the supervisor’s day-to-day work, raising concerns that parents have taken a back seat under provincial supervision. Story: thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…

Zelenskyy destroying Russian bot farms is really exposing a major reason why oligarchs want more data centers.

AOC: AI systems want us to be dependent and outsource our cognition to a machine, and they want us to increasingly rely on AI systems so that they can sell intelligence back to us.
AI needs two things. It needs capital-intensive resources. But it also needs an uneducated population that cannot think, that is not educated, that relies on it so that they can sell cognition back to us.
