49ers coach Kyle Shanahan expresses confidence in struggling kicker Jake MoodyAlberta aiming to create test site to support new drilling technologiesOTTAWA — The federal Liberal government isn’t yet naming a new point person on Jasper after Alberta MP Randy Boissonnault’s departure from cabinet, but says that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Alberta town remains a top priority. “Multiple members of our caucus are engaged on the file,” a senior government official told the National Post. “We’ll continue to coordinate recovery efforts with provincial and local officials.” Boissonnault, the only Albertan in Trudeau’s cabinet until Wednesday, was named ministerial lead for Jasper in October. He said at the time that this was an important role for him to take on as the province’s lone federal minister. “As the Alberta minister, it’s really important that I’m able to do that work with a number of ministers at the provincial level so we can get the work done,” Boissonnault told reporters in Ottawa. Boissonnault was put in charge of a cabinet-level working group on Jasper, subsequently overseeing the distribution of more than $20 million of federal aid to the municipality. Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland said on Wednesday he was sad to see Boissonnault step away from the role. “We are disappointed to be losing Minister Boissonnault as federal ministerial lead for Jasper recovery,” wrote Ireland in an email. “He immersed himself in our ongoing challenges and was an engaged, active, and an effective advocate on our behalf.” The Opposition Conservatives weren’t quite as concerned about the void created by Boissonnault’s departure. “The Trudeau government was repeatedly warned but allowed Jasper to go up in flames after years of ignoring obvious severe fire risks. After nearly a decade of neglect, it doesn’t matter which Liberal is selected to replace Trudeau’s fake advisor,” said Conservative emergency affairs critic Dane Lloyd on Wednesday. Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver, the province’s lead on Jasper, declined to comment on Boissonnaut’s departure. The Town of Jasper lost a third of its structures in July after a wildfire that started in nearby federal parkland jumped the Columbia river, forcing some 25,000 to flee the area. The disaster came after experts warned for years about the possibility of a “catastrophic blaze” in the area, raising several questions about the federal government’s forest management practices, including its failure to remove thousands of pine beetle ravaged dead trees from the area. The House of Commons set up a committee to investigate the causes of the blaze in September. Boissonnault’s departure from the cabinet working group on Jasper leaves six remaining members, including Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, Housing Minister Sean Fraser and Minister for Emergency Preparedness Harjit Sajjan. Guilbeault is also the minister responsible for Parks Canada. Liberal officials wouldn’t say what role Boissonnault will have on the Jasper file as a rank-and-file member of the party’s caucus. The prime minister said in a Wednesday statement that veterans affairs minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor would temporarily take on Boissonnault’s responsibilities as employment minister and minister responsible for official languages. Petitpas Taylor’s office told the National Post on Thursday that she won’t be taking on the role of ministerial lead for Jasper.

Moscow is widely accused of meddling in European democracy amid tensions that have run high since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Georgia In April, tens of thousands of Georgians staged demonstrations in Tbilisi against the government’s so-called “foreign agent” law, which requires all organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from overseas to register and submit to detailed investigations. The legislation was dubbed the “Russian law” by its opponents, after similar laws long used by President Vladimir Putin’s government to silence political opposition and free media. The protests evolved into a battle for Georgia’s future: to be aligned with the West or with Russia. It is a fight that continues to this day on the streets of Tbilisi. Georgia’s opposition parties pinned their hopes on ousting the government in the October general election; however, the ruling Georgian Dream party won with more than 53% of the vote. Election monitors accused Georgian Dream of overseeing widespread vote rigging, including “ballot box stuffing, physical assault on observers attempting to report on violations, observer and media removal from polling stations, tearing up of observers' complaints, intimidation of voters inside and outside polling stations,” according to the head of the European Parliament monitoring delegation, Antonio Lopez-Isturiz White. Georgian Dream insisted it won a fair election. The government suspended accession talks with the European Union. The United States in turn suspended its strategic partnership with Georgia. Many Georgians fear their hopes of a future tied to the West are being lost. Protesters returned to the streets in November, demanding another vote. “I just want us to look towards Europe and not back to the hole where we just got out,” said student Salome Bakhtadze. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze was unrepentant. “We are absolutely committed to fully neutralizing the radical opposition,” he said at a press conference on December 6. Moldova Moldova, another former Soviet republic, held a bitterly fought presidential election in October. Despite widespread evidence of meddling by Moscow, which it denied, pro-European incumbent Maia Sandu won the November second-round vote after Moldovans voted by a thin margin to embed the desire for EU membership in the nation’s constitution. “Today, dear Moldovans, you have given a lesson in democracy,” she said after her victory. Romania In neighboring Romania, far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who opposes Western aid for Ukraine, scored a shock first-round win in November’s presidential election with 23% of the vote. Polls taken ahead of the vote suggested support for Georgescu was in the single digits. Romania’s top court annulled the result after security services uncovered an alleged disinformation campaign to promote Georgescu on social media, which was widely blamed on Russia. Moscow again denied meddling in the vote. “This candidate’s campaign was supported by a state foreign to Romania’s interests,” Romania’s incumbent president, Klaus Iohannis, said in a televised address on December 6. The country has yet to choose a new date for an election rerun. Election interference Russia is conducting a campaign of interference in European democracy — but the picture is complex, argues Costin Ciobanu, a political analyst at Aarhus University in Denmark. “There is evidence that Russia tried to use its tools to favor Georgescu, but we don't know yet whether there was a direct coordination between the Georgescu campaign and Russia,” Ciobanu told VOA. “Russia is exploiting vulnerabilities within our democracies. They are leveraging the way in which social networks function in today's democracies. But I would not say that all that is happening within our societies, that all the grievances and fury that we see is a result of Russia leveraging its hybrid warfare techniques.” “I would always emphasize the local vulnerabilities, the fact that sometimes you have this kind of gap between the elite and the population. And sometimes Russia is just trying to make those gaps wider,” Ciobanu said.
Military establishment distances itself from ongoing PTI-govt talksIt looks like a normal office, but it is allegedly a compound from which scammers targeted innocent Australians and tricked them into handing over their hard-earned money . The Australian Federal Police (AFP) last month executed a search warrant with Philippines authorities at the location, from which they allege men over the age of 35 years were targeted on social media and dating applications in cryptocurrency scams. “The scammers would communicate with victims to build trust before asking them to invest money in a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform,” the AFP said. “The alleged scammers were working shifts to align with Australian time zones.” More than 250 suspected cyber criminals were arrested by the AFP and Philippines authorities at the compound in central Manila’s Pasay City on October 3, the AFP said. Of those arrested, 68 were Filipino nationals, while the rest were foreign nationals. Officers seized more than 300 computer towers, more than 1000 mobile phones and thousands of sim cards. The compound was searched by two AFP members and a Manila based-AFP liaison officer, with relevant local partners, for intelligence relating to Australian scam victims. “AFP technical experts and cryptocurrency experts, with the Philippines Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Commission (PAOCC) and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), are now collecting information about who was targeted and the methodologies used to extract cash from victims,” the AFP said. Victims will be contacted as evidence becomes available. This evidence will also be used to help shut down other scam centres operating worldwide if possible. The operation is the first time investigators have accessed a scam centre compound, AFP Assistant Commissioner David McLean said. “A large portion of cybercrime affecting Australians originates offshore, and this action shows how the AFP and its international partners are proactively taking the fight to these syndicates where they operate,” McLean said. “We commend the PAOCC and NBI for their work in identifying this boiler room and taking swift action to shut it down. “I thank them for the trust they have shown in the AFP by allowing us to work with them. “We have gathered valuable intelligence on the structure of these types of scam call centres, how they are targeting Australians and the ways to help identify victims. “An AFP cryptocurrency expert was given a unique insight into the financial and money laundering structures operating within these hubs, and that will be immensely helpful in developing our strategies in combatting this crime impacting Australia.” The AFP urged Australians to be wary of scams, giving the following advice:

After watching his team get booed off home ice in the Red Wings’ final game before the Christmas break Monday night, dropping them into the NHL ’s bottom five after 34 games, it was clear patience in Detroit had run out. And Thursday, Yzerman acted accordingly, firing the team’s third-year head coach,Derek Lalonde, as well as associate coach Bob Boughner, and replacing them with veteran bench boss Todd McLellan and assistant coach Trent Yawney. Advertisement It was a move many fans had called for throughout the team’s disappointing 2024-25 season, as the Red Wings slipped from being a tiebreaker short of the playoffs last season to one of the league’s worst teams in a matter of months. They were underwhelming offensively, porous on the penalty kill and on too many nights, just plain flat. All of these are things McLellan, who has more than 1,100 games of NHL head coaching experience backing him, will be tasked with fixing — starting Friday with a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs . But while Yzerman, the team’s general manager since 2019, has made that change, it can’t be his last. Not if McLellan is going to have a serious chance at succeeding where Lalonde could not. Because while Lalonde was hardly a perfect coach, the way the Red Wings have fallen flat this season is about much more than coaching. Lalonde is a sharp hockey mind, but at least publicly was a relatively mild-mannered communicator. It’s entirely possible, then, that a new voice and new message can light more of a fire under the Red Wings players. But if a room full of professional athletes truly needs someone else to light their fire for them, that speaks to a much bigger issue. Especially for a team that has made a point of bringing in veteran leadership over the past three offseasons — and given out some cumbersome contracts in the name of doing so. So while swapping Lalonde for McLellan may well give Detroit a spark — as it often does with coaching changes — Yzerman will simultaneously have to look long and hard at his roster and perhaps make change or two there once the NHL’s trade freeze lifts on Friday. As close as the Red Wings got to the playoffs last season, that result now looks more like a mirage year than a building-block season for this franchise. And while Detroit’s farm system still has a few important pieces working their way up the pipeline, glaring long-term questions remain. Advertisement The biggest are at forward. Detroit has long been building around top-line center Dylan Larkin , but increasingly, the crawling pace of the rebuild looks like it will mean Larkin, 28, will be into his 30s by the time the team is in serious contention. That’s not the end of the world — Yzerman didn’t win his first Stanley Cup until he was 32, and Larkin should still be a highly effective player for many more years — but it does mean the team will need a robust core of younger players around him. They have one such young star, Lucas Raymond , tracking toward a potential 80-point season this year at age 22, and another good scoring winger in Alex DeBrincat . From there, though, so much remains to be seen. Recent first-round picks Marco Kasper and Nate Danielson look like playoff-style two-way centermen who will really help the Red Wings, but both have some questions around what their ultimate NHL scoring productivity will be. The team’s 2024 first-round pick, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, has a big-time shot in a heavy body, but he’s only 19 and has gotten off to a slower-than-hoped offensive start in the SHL. All of Kasper, Danielson and Brandsegg-Nygård look like they will become good NHL players. But to get to where the Red Wings want to go, they’ll need more star power alongside Raymond and Larkin up front. They surely will have to continue to look for that through the draft, but as they’ve seen, that process will not be quick. So while Detroit is making changes, is there a young forward they can trade for whose contributions can come sooner? Trevor Zegras in Anaheim or Dylan Cozens in Buffalo would both fit the bill as young players who have already proven they can hit 60-point offense in the NHL, but have seen their production dip of late. Such a trade could be costly, but you can’t find players as young as those two in free agency, which is largely limited to players aged 27 and older. And frankly, Detroit’s approach in that market is another area Yzerman may need to revisit in the coming months after the way their forays have played out lately. Advertisement After firing their last coach, Jeff Blashill, in 2022, Yzerman sought to give Lalonde a better roster to work with and brought in proven players such as Andrew Copp , Ben Chiarot and David Perron . Then, in 2023, he added to that with J.T. Compher , Justin Holl and Shayne Gostisbehere , and trades for DeBrincat and Jeff Petry . This summer, he signed Vladimir Tarasenko and Erik Gustafsson to multi-year deals. There were a few success stories in that mix, but the majority of those deals have not aged well and Yzerman may now have to try and get out from one (or more) moving forward. Some of that is simply the risk of operating in free agency, but the low success rate speaks to a potential need for additional voices in the player personnel and pro scouting departments, too. The Red Wings never formally replaced Mark Howe as director of pro scouting when he retired, for example. Those kind of changes and hirings may take longer, and be lower-profile, than firing a coach. But make no mistake, the roster in Detroit — and the way it was assembled — are the biggest reasons the Red Wings are where they are today. Yzerman stepped into an exceedingly difficult situation five and a half years ago. Success — let alone fast success — was never a given, no matter how much hope his arrival brought. But he’s now fired two coaches without a playoff appearance, and inevitably that puts him even more in the spotlight as general manager. His next moves are going to be more scrutinized than any to this point. The decision to move on from Lalonde had begun to feel inevitable, and doing it in-season as opposed to waiting until the summer could give Yzerman’s team a short-term boost. That seems to be the calculation. But if the Red Wings are serious about fixing their issues in a long-term sense, they can’t stop here. Just as on the first day of Yzerman’s tenure, there’s still a lot of work to be done.
