Zelenskyy fires ministers accused of involvement in bribery scheme as public outrage grows

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has moved to contain growing public outrage in Ukraine over a corruption scandal in the energy sector by firing two ministers who are accused of involvement in a large-scale bribery scheme.

Ukraine’s president said the justice minister Herman Halushchenko and energy minister Svitlana Grynchuk could no longer remain in their jobs. He also called for personal sanctions against his friend and former business partner Timur Mindich, the scheme’s alleged organiser.

Acknowledging popular anger, Zelenskyy said: “There must be maximum integrity in the energy sector, in absolutely all processes. I support every investigation carried out by law enforcement and anti-corruption officials. This is an absolutely clear and consistent position for everyone.”

If Canada is thrust into an election next week, it will be one of the strangest in living memory

If Canada is plunged into an election next week, we can already call it one of the most unwanted campaigns this country has ever seen.

Gord Johns, one of the New Democrat MPs who gets a vote on that matter next week, said it bluntly to the Star this week: “I know certainly Canadians don’t want an election,”

Yet Johns’ own party is looking seriously at getting itself election-ready, as my colleague Mark Ramzy reported. And what the NDP is contemplating would make this not just the most unwanted campaign ever, but also one of the weirdest.

Seven of the usual suspects charged with sex and drug offences in Bristol ‘grooming’ case

Suspects, who are Iranian, Syrian and “British”, will appear before magistrates after police tipped off about the alleged sexual exploitation of a teenage girl

Half of young Canadian men are at risk of ‘problem anger,’ survey finds … the other half haven’t read this article yet

You’d be angry too if you were made of pixels

Half of young Canadian men risk letting their anger interfere with their daily life, relationships and work, new research suggests.

A survey conducted by Intensions Consulting and the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation (CMHF) found that 50 per cent of men between the ages of 19 and 29 are at risk of “problem anger,” compared to just 22 per cent of all Canadian men.

The findings reveal a “troubling reality” and warn of “deeper stress and disconnection from support systems” for young men, the CMHF said in a Wednesday press release.

Take Away: Just because the government destroyed your economic future and trashed your society through mass immigration from incompatible cultures is no reason to be angry!

Paris marks 10 years since deadly Muslim terror attacks

France will commemorate on Thursday the November 13, 2015 terror attacks in which more than 130 people were killed and over 400 were injured when militants loyal to the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (IS) group attacked several sites in Paris.

“The 10th anniversary is here and emotions and tension are everywhere for us survivors,” said Arthur Denouveaux, president of victims’ association Life for Paris. “That kind of shields us from the world in a way, because we’re so focused on the grief and on remembering those who lost their lives.”

Another Alberta separatist leader is courting U.S. conservatives in Washington and Mar-a-Lago

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Another Alberta separatist has travelled south of the border to woo American conservatives.

In recent months, members of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), a separatist organization, have boasted of meetings in Washington, D.C., with senior-level officials from the U.S. administration. Now, the only political party affiliated with Alberta’s independence movement, the Republican Party of Alberta (RPA), is making its own waves south of the border.

Report: 75% of Offenders in Retail Crime in Germany Have Migration Background

According to a recent report commissioned by trade association GCSP, offenses and aggression in German shopping centers are on the rise, with 75% of perpetrators identified as having a migration background. The GCSP warns that this trend is creating a sense of lack of safety among staff and customers, compounded by inconsistent law enforcement.

Last Saturday in Stuttgart, a 37-year-old Romanian man caught shoplifting attempted to punch a store detective and resisted arrest even after police arrived.

Poilievre says no reflection on his leadership style following floor crossing and resignation

In his first media availability since two MPs announced they’re leaving his caucus, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he plans to continue leading the party as he has been.

When asked by a reporter to respond to comments by former Conservative MP Chris d’Entremont — who last Tuesday announced he was crossing the floor to the Liberals and later blamed Poilievre’s leadership style for his decision — Poilievre quoted previous remarks made by the defected MP in the House.

“First of all, I just quote Mr. d’Entremont,” Poilievre said, in response to the question about his leadership style, before reading d’Entremont’s previous criticisms of the Liberal government, including “out-of-control spending and massive deficits.”
