Is Canada’s electric vehicle strategy really failing—or just evolving? In this interview, National Observer columnist Max Fawcett breaks down why Canada’s EV rollout appears to be struggling today, with EVs making up just 3.5% of the national fleet compared to much higher adoption rates in China. But the real story isn’t about failure—it’s about a strategic pivot.

We explore how federal policy is shifting away from reliance on North American automakers toward deeper engagement with global players, especially in Asia. The conversation dives into industrial policy, supply chains, and why China’s integration of climate and economic strategy is reshaping the global auto industry.

With U.S. automakers under pressure and global competition accelerating, Canada faces a critical choice: cling to the status quo or adapt to a rapidly changing market. The stakes are high—not just for climate policy, but for jobs, trade, and the future of the Canadian economy.

Last week, we won the biggest Right to Repair lawsuit in a long time. A $99 million settlement. Access to repair tools. Headlines everywhere calling it a victory. But pull back the curtain and the story gets a lot darker. Because the access we won has a timer on it. The money doesn't go where you think it does. And two weeks before the settlement dropped, John Deere was standing on the White House lawn being celebrated as a partner in farmer freedom. This is the story of how a decade-long repair monopoly ended — and why the people who built it got to decide what winning looked like.

The UK government is looking to sell the scheme to a potentially sceptical public by focusing on improved ease of access to public services and the potential to clamp down on fraud. The proposed digital ID will include name, date of birth, nationality and a facial image for biometrics.

Randomly came across this blog post written in light of the Quittr porn quitting app leak.

Turns out at least two whitehats found the vulnerability and reported it directly to the company who acknowledged the reports.

This is a blog post about getting owned because you were complacent and thought you weren't important enough to target.

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project. Here's the file they don't want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). "Technology is apolitical" bros can bite me.

seems like small llms also can average write some exploitative code
