The Donroe Doctrine and the Naked Imperialism of the Venezuela Intervention
The US military attack in Venezuela reflects a transactional and coercive imperial strategy aimed at seizing strategic resources and restructuring hemispheric supply chains under the "Donroe Doctrine."Progressive International
Is there any other alternative you'd recommend?

Class action lawsuit filed against Hydro-Québec after Montreal west-end power outage
Class action lawsuit filed against Hydro-Québec after Montreal west-end power outage
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Hydro-Québec following a major power outage that left thousands of residents in Montreal’s west end without electricity for days during extreme cold.News Staff (CityNews Montreal)
We were without power for 48 hours. We were lucky enough to have a generator, I spent probably about $60 on fuel to keep my unit just barely above zero (heater said 3 degrees celsius).
People fled to their friends and families. Two elderly people died. Many more had nowhere to go and suffered.
As you said, HQ knew this substation was failing for years, and chose to do nothing until people died. And even then, I'm not sure they're gonna learn anything from this event.

Blairmore latest Alberta community to lose bank branch — a trend seen across Canada
Valerie Robinson has been a CIBC customer for almost 30 years. Now, that’s coming to an end.
She lives and does her banking in the Crownest Pass town of Blairmore, Alta..
The bank notified the community of 1,500 in September that the local branch will close on Feb. 5. The nearest other CIBC branch is about 40 kilometres away in Pincher Creek.
CIBC will remove its ATM in Blairmore too.
Robinson is worried about locals’ reduced access to cash: the currency of the small transactions that fund the life of the town.
“All of our fundraising, like with the service groups, curling, sports activities for kids — you're not going to have a kid going around with a debit machine to sell their raffle tickets, you know.”

Maybe. I'm leaning more towards the typical "letting developer toxicity run rampant" situation:
And based in what is provider there I do not see a problematic statement by antheas (or how he is called). Maybe more context is needed?

This doesn't make sense to me.
Borrow a few hundred and do a rewrite to save your livelyhood.
She must be good enough at French, she did her masters degree in the French language.

I'm not seeing anything insulting about the government's position. There's a language requirement. They knew that. It sounds like the first test taking may have been free, but on failed tests, the followups have fee. Where are they being treated like garbage?

What cost-free obligations do you believe a host nation has toward foreign nationals for living and working in that nation?
