Berlin blackout: How dangerous are left‑wing extremists?

A left‑wing extremist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Berlin power plant. What drives such an attack, and how serious a threat does this radical network pose?

According to security authorities, the assault on a gas power station in southwest Berlin was carefully planned. On Saturday, January 3, 2026, attackers deliberately destroyed cables using incendiary devices. The consequences were severe: cold apartments, dark streets, disrupted rail lines and widespread internet outages.

Of the 45,000 households initially affected, two-thirds were still without electricity on Monday. Because of the extensive damage, repairs are expected to continue until Thursday.

As a regime propaganda outlet DW plays down left-wing extremism always.

Trump gets it.

IRCC halts settlement program for foreign entrepreneurs, says it ‘stopped working as intended’

The Immigration Department has shelved a settlement program for foreign entrepreneurs that has faced accusations of misuse and has processing times of more than 10 years. The sudden move prompted calls for an immediate replacement to prevent innovators from taking their ideas to Europe or the U.S instead.

Ottawa established the Start-up Visa Program in 2013 to boost job creation, but suddenly halted the program in late December, saying it was subject to misuse. The government has said it’s looking at establishing an alternative with stricter rules for who can participate.

Misuse? You mean criminal scam.

Massive Coverup Underway in Washington State to Stop Reporting of Somali Daycare Fraud

Oh No!

The far, far left in power in Washington has begun a full-court press operation to hide information about Somali daycare or adult centers in Washington state. The state, the city of Seattle, and legislators in Olympia are more concerned about Somali fraud making the news than they are about the rip-off of American taxpayers.

Entitled cretin should be deported: Toronto Community Housing evictions reach 10-year high, prompting calls for greater leniency for tenants

…Rahman broke the rules of his tenancy. While away on a trip to get married, he says he allowed refugees needing a home to stay in his unit. And while they’re now gone, they refused to leave for two years.

“We’re not ready to live on the streets … We just need stable housing,” he said.

Ford accused of ‘weaponizing’ LCBO with plan to remove Crown Royal

A consumer advocacy group is accusing the Ford government of “weaponizing” the LCBO as the premier promises to follow through on a threat to remove Crown Royal from the provincial liquor retailer in February.

Doug Ford confirmed he would pull the Canadian whiskey from the shelves of the province’s alcohol stores next month to punish international drinks conglomerate Diageo for its plan to close an Ontario facility.

What would a US takeover of Greenland look like? Four options examined

After Donald Trump’s audacious attack on Venezuela, the prospect of American incursion into the Arctic territory, long mooted, seems more plausible

Delivering his state of the union speech last year, President Trump ruminated about the seizure of more than 800,000 square miles of territory from a Nato ally.

The “incredible people of Greenland”, he told Congress in March, had every right to determine their own future, and if they were to decide that this future lay within the United States, so much the better.

“We need it, really, for international world security,” Trump added. “One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”

I suspect a lot of  TDS is motivated by the fact Trump reminds entire nations they are unable to police their own streets.

Careful what you wish for.

Why victims of crime feel abandoned by Canada’s justice system

As our family waits for the upcoming trial date after almost four years since the homicide of my father, we brace for yet another notification that proceedings may once again be postponed.

This uncertainty has become a defining feature of our experience with Canada’s criminal justice system — a system that appears structured to tolerate delay, even when those delays deepen trauma for victims and their families. Each time the phone rings, we wonder whether justice will finally move forward or be pushed further out of reach.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Venezuela proves Trump wants China out. Carney better take notice

Happy New Year. Or not, depending on where you find yourself these days. If you’re deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, that’s in a cell in Brooklyn, N.Y. If you’re U.S. President Donald Trump, that’s on the catbird seat in Washington, D.C. And if you’re Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, that’s on a tightrope in Ottawa, trying to strike the right note with an ally that looks more like an aggressor every day.

Wager platform Polymarket not paying out on bets on US invasion of Venezuela

The online wager platform Polymarket has angered some gamblers by declaring it will not pay out yet on millions of dollars’ worth of bets on a US invasion of Venezuela, arguing that the capture of the then president, Nicolás Maduro, does not qualify.

Before Donald Trump’s forces captured Maduro on Saturday morning, some traders appeared to have anticipated the shock move by placing bets on “prediction markets”.

These are gambling platforms that allow individuals to wager on a range of markets that have been created by the host website. They are typically binary bets, punting on yes/no or higher/lower outcomes.

Why This Economist Believes Canada Is Headed for a 1990s-Style Debt Crisis

Canada is heading into a period of higher debt that could exhaust the federal government’s taxation and borrowing capacity, reduce its credit rating, and trigger a financial crisis similar to the one seen in the 1990s, according to Simon Fraser University economics professor Herbert Grubel.

“You can’t pile on debt forever. There must be a critical point at which people who are lending you money say, ‘we don’t trust that you can repay it,’ and you get into a crisis,” Grubel told The Epoch Times.

Grubel recently warned in a recent Financial Post op-ed that Canada is heading into a “1990s-style fiscal reckoning” due to unsustainable debt levels. He forecasted in his Dec. 4 article that if the trend continues, the government’s taxation and borrowing capacity will become exhausted and revenues won’t cover the cost of running the government and paying interest on the debt, and could even lead to bankruptcy.

Why does Trump want Greenland and what could it mean for Nato?

The White House says Donald Trump and his close advisers are discussing options for taking over Greenland, as the US president continues to argue it would benefit his nation’s security.

His demands have been rejected by the island’s leaders and by Nato member Denmark, of which Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory.

Where is Greenland and why does it matter to Trump?

Ouch.

Sharan Kaur: The dangerous precedent of Poilievre’s support for Maduro’s arrest

In the calculus of modern-day populism, there is no greater currency than the decisive act. In an unprecedented moment this past week, the world watched as U.S. President Donald Trump cashed in, deploying American special forces to snatch illegitimate self-proclaimed leader of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro from Caracas and deliver him to a New York jail cell.

In the immediate aftermath, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre did not hesitate to add his own signature to the transaction. By congratulating Trump on this “arrest” and branding Maduro a “narco terrorist” who must rot in prison, Poilievre has done more than just celebrate the fall of a tyrant; he has signalled a willingness to dismantle the very international order that keeps a country like Canada safe.

Maduro is bad but Poilievre is worse cuz he’s a populist like Trump and they do bad things like topple Narco State dictators.
