Macron has let an epidemic of violence grip France
These have been terrible days in France. On Thursday, a 15-year-old girl was stabbed to death and several of her classmates wounded at a private school in Nantes. It was an attack of singular ferocity. The victim, who was stabbed 57 times, was killed by a fellow pupil, a boy her own age. According to police, he had no ‘clear motive’ for his crime.
On Friday a 20-year-old, named by police as Olivier H, walked into a mosque in southern France and told Aboubakar, a 24-year-old of Malian origin, that he would like to pray. Aboubakar, who performed odd jobs in the mosque, led Olivier into the prayer room and together they knelt. Olivier then produced a knife and stabbed Aboubakar to death. As he filmed the death throes of his victim, the killer insulted Allah and stated his intention to kill again. A huge manhunt was launched, but late on Sunday night Olivier handed himself in to police in Florence, Italy.
Trump’s Electric Vehicle Rollback Helps Consumers, Won’t Hurt Climate
Before we let Democratic legislators get on their high horses about the Trump administration’s obliteration of California’s climate goals via its elimination of the federal electric vehicle mandate, let’s look at one statistic that should put matters in perspective.
Between 2003 and 2019, California reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 13 percent thanks to billions of dollars in spending and myriad mandates designed to shift energy use to electric generation. Yet 2020’s wildfires “caused twice the amount of greenhouse gas emissions” that were saved over those sixteen years, according to a University of Chicago report. Fires are obliterating any savings from our state’s high-profile move away from fossil fuels.
GUNTER: After 10 years of Liberal failure, it’s time for a Conservative approach
You should have heard a loud ‘pop’ on Thursday — the sound of Liberal Mark Carney’s I’m-the-best-leader-to-deal-with-Trump bubble bursting.
On March 28, Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump held what Carney and his aides called a “positive” phone call. Afterwards, Carney insisted “the president respected Canada’s sovereignty … both in his private and public comments.”
Palestinian Leaders Play Musical Chairs To Dupe Western Donors
On April 26, a group of unelected Palestinian Authority (PA) officials approved the appointment of Hussein al-Sheikh as “Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Vice President of the [non-existent] State of Palestine.”
PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who also serves as chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, had nominated the 64-year-old al-Sheikh for this position in accordance with a decision by the Palestinian Central Council, a body dominated by Abbas loyalists, to create the position of “Deputy Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee and Vice President of the State of Palestine.”
Why the U.S. Shouldn’t Copy Canada’s Experiment with Free Drugs
Canada, where I call home, is the only jurisdiction in the world that hands out free addictive drugs to addicts. Under the “safer-supply” policy, Canadian health authorities distribute hydromorphone—an opioid as potent as heroin—as well as, to a lesser degree, oxycodone, pharmaceutical fentanyl, and mild stimulants. These drugs are provided at no cost and, until recently, rarely had to be consumed under medical supervision.
How the fun police came for your holiday
Oppressive rules are being imposed in some of the world’s biggest tourism spots. Whatever happened to letting your hair down?
Aren’t holidays supposed to be about having fun? If that question seems too obvious for a serious travel article, you’ve clearly missed the barrage of spirit-crushing rules emanating from some of the world’s most successful tourism spots in recent years, as destinations across the world turn their backs on the good-time crowd.
Just look at the Balearic Islands, which have spent much of the past few years looking for inventive ways to clamp down on boozy travellers, including restricting so-called party boats and banning alcohol sales between certain hours. Last year the Spanish government even began a new initiative to gather data on the worst nationalities for drunkenness and send school-report style missives to their respective embassies.
State of emergency declared as panic-buying sweeps blackout-hit Spain and Portugal with shelves emptied, gridlock overwhelming cities and flights cancelled
Spain has declared a state of emergency after a nationwide power blackout hit most of the Iberian peninsula, leaving roads gridlocked and prompting people to clear supermarket shelves amid fears the chaos could last for days.
Spain’s Interior Ministry on Monday added the emergency status will be applied in the regions that request it.
So far, Madrid, Andalusia and Extremadura have asked for the central government to take over public order and other functions.

Could renewable energy be to blame for huge Spain blackout?

Come on, man. If this happened in a Hollywood movie, we’d roll our eyes at an amateurish attempt at irony.
Alberta’s grievances need to be taken seriously
Imagine for a moment what would happen if Canada’s federal government announced a production cap on Ontario’s auto sector – something like the proposed federal emissions cap on oil and gas, which industry proponents say will limit production in Alberta.
Close your eyes and picture how things would look if the feds passed a law that specifically targeted the growth of Ontario’s main industry and the high-paying jobs that are driven by that industry.
China Experience Was Once a Plus. In Canada’s Election, It’s a Liability.
Asked to name the biggest threat to Canada’s security during an election debate, Mark Carney, the country’s prime minister and Liberal Party leader running to win a full term, gave a surprising answer: “China.”
Analysts saw it as an attempt to distance himself from the country amid heightened scrutiny on his own past work there.
Mr. Carney, a former central banker and business executive, dealt with the Chinese establishment in his recent private-sector roles for companies with investments in China.
Nice of the NYTimes to whitewash Carney’s China links.
Nope no China class in this country.

Conclave to elect a new pope will start on May 7 as cardinals get to know one another
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Catholic cardinals on Monday set May 7 as the start date for the conclave to elect Pope Francis’ successor, delaying the secret voting for two days so they can get to know one another better and find consensus on a candidate before they are sequestered in the Sistine Chapel.
The cardinals set the date after arriving for the first day of informal meetings following Pope Francis’ funeral Saturday. In a chaotic scene, journalists shouted questions about the mood inside and whether there was unity. A reporter for a satirical Italian television program asked whether an Italian cardinal who has been convicted by the Vatican criminal court on finance-related charges would be allowed to vote.
Jamie Sarkonak: Carney’s immigration plan a recipe for more overcrowding
Many of Canada’s problems in the last 10 years can be traced back to over-immigration
It’s good that Liberal Leader Mark Carney at least understands his party’s role in overpopulating Canada faster than it can grow capacity, but it’s a problem that he doesn’t have a plan to wind it up.
That’s one big reason a Carney win on Monday would prove disastrous to Canada’s youth: the immigration excesses will continue, and with it, the affordability squeeze. This is only a recent problem: population growth reached an average of 320,000 people per year from 2001 to 2015 — but doubled to an average of 612,000 from 2016 to 2023. In turn, Canada’s longtime receptive attitude towards immigration has cooled; people have lost faith in a system that was once revered for welcoming only the world’s best and brightest.

In her continued attacks on President Donald Trump, former America comedienne, and current resident of Ireland, Rosie O’Donnell is now claiming that she was once given a contaminated bottle of Trump branded liquor.
