I’d rather that the Supreme Court ruled that aboriginal title doesn’t apply to government land either, since the acceptance of that precedent has already saddled taxpayers with billions of dollars in undeserved payouts, but at least someone finally drew a line in the sand.

The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld a ruling that Aboriginal title cannot be declared over private land, in a decision the federal government says will have an impact on the Cowichan Tribes case in British Columbia.

@glen_mcgregor – According to PMMC’s itinerary, only official photographers — not the usual press gallery pool — will be allowed in when [Carney] meets Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Parliament Hill this morning. This is unusual and, likely, at the request of the PRC.

In a recent interview on the Rapid Response podcast, Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said it’s hard to draw a connection between the company’s rising use of Claude Code and innovations meant to serve consumers.

“That link is not there yet,” he said. “Maybe implicitly there’s more that is getting shipped, but it’s very hard to draw a line between one of those stats and ‘Okay now we’re actually producing like 25% more useful consumer features.’”

The comments follow reports that the firm had already burnt through its entire 2026 AI coding tools budget in just four months after incentivizing employees to adopt the technology through an internal leaderboard ranking teams by total AI tool usage. It’s the latest development in a complex quandary arising in enterprise AI adoption: increasing AI use comes with higher costs, even as per-unit AI pricing falls.

“If you’re not actually able to draw a direct line to how [many] useful features and functionality you’re shipping to your users, that trade becomes harder to justify,” Macdonald said.

The India-based gang behind Canada’s extortion crisis sent a letter to a B.C. police station last year boasting that it had 1,000 foot soldiers willing to carry out shootings, a police officer revealed on Thursday.

Testifying at a deportation hearing, the extortion investigator described the letter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that was delivered to a police station in Abbotsford, B.C., on Aug. 13, 2025.

“Police actually received a letter addressed from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that was sent to a police station,” Const. Kevin St. Louis told the Immigration and Refugee Board.

“This specific letter outlined essentially their criminal organization, where they talked about having upwards of 1,000 individuals that are willing to carry out these shootings as a part of the group,” he said.

“It also alludes to how every business needs to pay their tax, which I think clearly demonstrates the monetary gain that this group is looking to obtain as a result of these extortions.”

The Abbotsford Police Department confirmed the letter.

Wiretap Media: A sports car brazenly flaunting the India-based Bishnoi terror group was spotted outside a factory in Vaughan, Ontario. An anonymous insider claims the facility is a stolen-goods hub where packed trailers are ripped off regularly.

@CBCWatcher: CBC’s Carney cheerleading reaches peak propaganda mode

CBC’s Ashley Burke filed a glowing report on Mark Carney’s New York pitch to US investors: “Be absolutely clear, Canada strong will help make America great again.” The piece frames Carney as the savvy dealmaker touting investment, autos, aluminum, critical minerals, and energy cooperation… complete with optimistic quotes from the Trade Minister about finding a “path forward” in weeks. It’s all presented as smart, forward-looking diplomacy that Wall Street and Trumpworld should love

Buried deeper (and quickly passed over): Canada’s former top trade negotiator admitting they’re “pretty firmly stuck,” no sign of actual CUSMA review talks, Mexico already doing bilateral rounds while Canada waits, and the U.S. ambassador publicly airing frustration with Canada.

That’s slightly unfair to the CBC, this is hardly their “peak”.

In related Sharp Elbow developments… By midsummer we’ll probably be told the fastest way to strengthen Canada is to mow North Dakota’s lawn and rotate its tires.

Financial Post;

Canada’s real gross domestic product unexpectedly contracted slightly in the first quarter of 2026, marking the second consecutive quarterly decline and meeting the technical definition of a recession.

The results came as a surprise: Preliminary estimates in April had suggested the economy grew to start the year, but data released Friday by Statistics Canada showed an increase in imports — up 2.9 per cent in the first quarter, mainly driven by gold imports — dragged real GDP growth into negative territory on an annualized basis.

It’s not just the federal government that isn’t that interested in Balsillie’s advice. Most provincial governments couldn’t care less either.

Balsillie said those who thrive in today’s economy own and control intangible assets such as data, AI and IP, and the U.S. has “turbocharged their capture,” but Canada’s economic game plan has stayed stuck in the decades-old “tangible production economy era,” while the new assets of the new economy require different strategies.
