This is not a game. This is not poker. A vote against Canada is dangerous bluff that will lead to years of uncertainty and missed opportunities for the residents of Alberta and the rest of Canada. "This is not a game. This is not poker. A vote against Canada is dangerous bluff that will lead to years of uncertainty and missed opportunities for the residents of Alberta and the rest of Canada," Carney said. Some outside our borders are trying to break us so that they can have us in their power. A vote for an independent Alberta would play into the hands of Trump, who is waging a trade war with Canada, Carney reasoned. According to Carney, this must "never" happen. #Alberta #Onafhankelijkheid #Canada (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that BMW plans to cut around 8,000 jobs by the end of 2027 and save one billion euros annually starting in 2028, according to company circles. Individual severance payments could exceed 650,000 euros. Due to high interest, the employee portal temporarily crashed. Boeminghaus cited a sales crisis as the reason: BMW deliveries in China fell by about 25 percent in the third quarter of 2026. The company had already issued a profit warning in June. The voluntary severance program provides for exit dates in March and October 2027. Boeminghaus interpreted the strong demand as a sign that many employees are willing to leave voluntarily despite the difficult situation in the German automotive industry. https://t.co/2O6jCz1zCQ #BMW #Stellenabbau #Automobilindustrie (translated)

Flux reported that Andreas Klominek was acquitted of assault after three lay judges voted against the line of presiding judge Céline Holmberg. The incident is said to have occurred on May 1, 2026, when Nick Alinia was monitoring the left's celebration in Stockholm. According to Flux, Klominek's son Ossian then knocked Alinia's phone out of his hand. Alinia and his cameraman held Ossian while waiting for the police, and Klominek then kneed Alinia in the head. Flux stated that the district court assessed the strike as proven through, among other things, body camera footage and testimony. The lay judges Anna-Sofia Quensel, Yvonne Bernhardsson, and Jan-Åke Porseryd accepted Clominek's objection regarding so-called putative self-defense, according to Flux. Holmberg had reportedly deemed the situation insufficient to support that objection. Flux wrote that Quensel, who represented the Left Party, had worked as a researcher at Expo from 2011 to 2017. Alinia stated according to Flux that he became aware of her background after the verdict and questioned whether she could assess the case impartially, among other things referring to Expo's critical articles about him and a photo in which Quensel appeared with AFA founder Mathias Wåg. Flux recounted that Alinia had described the verdict as political in an interview with Samnytt. According to the post, Holmberg had not taken a position on whether there was a conflict of interest, while the lay judge Porseryd referred conflict questions to the court's chairman. Flux emphasized that Quensel's previous employment at Expo did not in itself indicate a conflict of interest, but the question was whether the circumstances could undermine confidence in her impartiality. Ossian Klominek was simultaneously convicted of harassment, and his previous probation, according to Flux, would encompass the new crime. Alinia stated, according to the post, that the prosecutor had appealed the acquitting verdict against Andreas Klominek. #Rättvisa #Misshandel #Politik (translated)
