Andrei Medvedev is a former commander of Russia’s Wagner Group, a private paramilitary organization accused of human rights violations—most recently in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) confirmed on Monday that Medvedev, 26, had fled to Norway and is seeking asylum. The directorate did not provide more details.
Canada’s alcohol industry is pushing back against a call for mandatory warning labels on booze containers as suggested in new guidance that also greatly limits the recommended amount Canadians should be drinking.
CJ Helie, president of Beer Canada, said the industry is voluntarily informing people to drink responsibly so there’s no need for any labels.
If you’re from Alberta, Saskatchewan or Newfoundland and Labrador, this plan might well strike you as madness, as a federal government that has lost all humility and common sense
The staggering scope of change that Justin Trudeau’s Liberals intend to impose on Canadians with their Just Transition program is made clear in a newly-released government document.
Such is the magnitude of the proposed change that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she “felt sick” reading it.
Justin Trudeau is our national nightmare. I wish we could rest easy knowing Junior will be punished at the polls but NDP voters will keep the delusional jackass in power.

University of Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger may have left behind a “calling card” to show he was at the scene of the grisly killings in Moscow, Idaho — and the brutality of the crime suggests that he possibly has killed before, according to experts.
In a “Dr. Phil” special on Friday, experts speculated that Kohberger, 28, purposefully left an empty knife sheath in the room where students Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were murdered on Nov. 13.
A man plugged in his electric vehicle at home and learned that recharging it would not be a timely venture.
YouTuber TFLEV shared that on Sunday, while at home, he plugged in his brand-new electric Hummer truck, which has a 250kwh battery, only to find that it would take several days for him to get a complete charge.
“Time to complete charge, Friday at 8:30 a.m.,” the YouTuber said. “And range increase is 1 mph.”
Granted it was the “largest” battery on the market but the point is that residential areas are likely to experience power issues due to EV charging unless distribution equipment is upgraded, yet another hidden cost of Justin’s Electric-La-La-Land wish dream.
The United States must send battle tanks to Ukraine first before Germany could approve donations of Leopard 2 tanks, Berlin’s economy minister said on Tuesday.
Robert Habeck blamed Germany’s history for a reluctance to sign off on its allies delivering the domestic-made tanks to Kyiv.
“I would argue that we will do that,” he told Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“If America will decide that they will bring battle tanks to Ukraine, that will make it easier for Germany.

The Canadian military has appointed LGBTQ advisors to serve in its chaplain service to promote “diversity and inclusion” within the armed forces, says a federal briefing note on Dec. 6.
“We have established senior advisor positions including an indigenous and LGBTQ advisor to Chaplain General to raise awareness, education and innovate,” said the note “Military Chaplains,” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
The advisors were to “further provide diversity and inclusion within the Chaplain Service,” said the note, according to the media outlet.
The CAF’s desire to become hyper-woke puts them at cross-purposes. Won’t the transgender chaplains meet with resistance from the ISIS recruits?
It was an innocuous-looking photograph that turned out to be the downfall of Zheng Xiaoqing, a former employee with energy conglomerate General Electric Power.
According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment, the US citizen hid confidential files stolen from his employers in the binary code of a digital photograph of a sunset, which Mr Zheng then mailed to himself.
It was a technique called steganography, a means of hiding a data file within the code of another data file. Mr Zheng utilised it on multiple occasions to take sensitive files from GE.
OTTAWA — Deep into preparations to compete next month in the Netherlands, Canadian elite-level pistol shooter Kim Britton can’t help but worry for the future.
“I envision a point where to me, even though I love it, it’ll be too challenging to pursue,” she said.
BEIJING/HONG KONG, Jan 17 (Reuters) – China’s population fell last year for the first time in six decades, a historic turn that is expected to mark the start of a long period of decline in its citizen numbers with profound implications for its economy and the world.
The country’s National Bureau of Statistics reported a drop of roughly 850,000 people for a population of 1.41175 billion in 2022, marking the first decline since 1961, the last year of China’s Great Famine.
Canada’s annual inflation rate cooled to 6.3 per cent in December, its lowest level since February.
Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the deceleration in the cost of living was mostly due to slower growth in prices for things like gasoline, durable goods and various shelter-related expenses.
While the costs of many goods and services are finally coming down or at least slowing their pace of increases, food prices are still going up at an impressive clip. Grocery prices inched up another 0.3 per cent during the month of December, and have increased by 11 per cent year over year. That’s a slight slowdown from the 11.4 per cent pace the previous month.

Over 2.7 million Canadian workers will face “significant” disruptions in sectors that will be affected by future federal climate change programs, says a memo previously sent to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, according to a report.
“The transition to a low carbon economy will have an uneven impact across sectors, occupations and regions and create significant labour market disruptions,” reads the memo titled “Key Messages On Just Transition” and sent to the minister on June 1, 2022. The document was obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

A San Francisco panel studying reparations has proposed a one-time payment of $5 million to each black resident of the city deemed eligible as recompense for the “decades of harm they have experienced,” according to a report on Monday.
“A lump sum payment would compensate the affected population … and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy,” the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said in a draft report issued last month, Fox News Digital reported.
The Supreme Court of Canada will hear arguments Tuesday on whether police need a court order to obtain an individual’s IP address, in a case civil liberties groups say has Canadians’ online privacy at stake.
