“The Technological Republic should be read by everyone who cares about how technology should contribute to the protection of American values and our security. Readers may not agree with every observation in Karp and Zamiska’s compelling, essential book, but it demands to be read, particularly at this dawn of the age of Artificial Intelligence.

"Auditor general highlights numerous problems with NB tourism grant program
A report from New Brunswick Auditor General Paul Martin highlighted a laundry list of issues his office found with the grant program under the provincial Tourism Department.
Martin’s report, released on Tuesday, found it was hard to find public information about grant programs. The report also found that the success of these programs was not tracked and monitoring was limited once grants were awarded.
“Our audit work concluded that the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture does not have sufficient processes in place to ensure responsible investment and achievement of outcomes,” the report said.
Grant programs are government-run programs where both non-profit and for-profit organizations can apply for funding through a formalized process.
There are 32 programs the department runs, according to the report, for categories such as arts and culture, sports and recreation and festivals and events.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday after the report’s release, Minister Isabelle Thériault said the findings from the auditor general were “prior to our government.”
“When we came in place, we did revise the programs, we did put some clear criteria in place, a clear process … so we’ve done basically everything we could to make sure that this is a clear process,” Thériault said.
However, the report said the audit covered the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2025.
The report said that 53 per cent of grant awards the office examined did not have a signed agreement, and 37 per cent did not have “defined evaluation criteria.”
Grants were often not reviewed on an ongoing basis, with the report finding only 14 per cent of projects had evidence of interim reports between initial funding being granted and a final report.

Ginette Doiron, CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of New Brunswick, was unavailable for an interview but said in an emailed statement that the association welcomed the report.
“Grant programs play an important role in helping organizations, businesses, and communities invest, grow, and create experiences that contribute to New Brunswick’s economy and quality of life,” Doiron wrote.
“As public investments in tourism continue to grow, these programs must remain accessible, transparent, and focused on delivering measurable results.”
The association receives funding from the Tourism Department.
Devin Drover, the Atlantic region director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said in an emailed statement that the findings should “worry every New Brunswicker.”
“Taxpayers deserve to know where their money goes and what it delivers," Drover wrote. "The department couldn't even publish a full list of available grants, let alone prove they worked.
“The basic fixes: transparency, signed agreements, receipts, and real performance measurement are overdue.”
