German right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) wants to see the Nord Stream gas pipeline back online and also proposes reactivating nuclear power.
That is the content of a position paper presented by the party’s parliamentary group, according to Welt. The proposal, seen by AFP, states:
We will further diversify the supply of gas and oil in Germany’s interest, avoid new import dependencies, and enable the commissioning of existing supply routes such as the Nord Stream pipeline.
One psychiatrist has deemed eating disorders and depression to be worthy of “a grievous and irremediable medical condition” qualifying someone for MAiD.
At a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) in late March, Dr. Mona Gupta, a psychiatrist and professor at the University of Montreal, was asked by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton whether an eating disorder or depression would qualify.
“It depends on the circumstances of the person,” Gupta stated at first.
President Trump has posted an AI-generated image seemingly depicting himself as Jesus Christ as he attacked the Pope for not supporting his war in Iran.
In the image, posted at the same time as the US president criticised the Pope for being “weak” on crime and “terrible” for foreign policy, Trump appears dressed in red and white robes as he cures a man with his healing hand. The American flag is shown over his shoulder. The image was shared on the president’s Truth Social site.
Update: Trump posts, then deletes AI image of himself as Christ-like figure, sparking blasphemy accusations
Trump is drawing heat even on Truth Social for this post but some added context was supplied about the origin of the picture in his defense, regardless many are not buying in.
PS. Let me know if you can access the Truth Social links above, I will add the origin/defense pic in the comments.
There has been a growing shift in the kind of clients Dr. Kim Garbedian, a reproductive endocrinologist, has been seeing at Pollin Fertility clinic in Toronto recently: younger couples in their twenties, looking to make sure their reproductive health allows them to have children later in life.
“Fertility awareness has increased a lot. We’re specifically seeing young women coming in their twenties and early thirties, who know they want to have children and desire to have them but they’re not really right there, right now,” said Dr. Garbedian in an interview with CTV News Saturday.
“But they’re coming in, whether it’s just testing or freezing their eggs.”
Child sex offenders are recording their own podcasts in a prison described as a “paedophile paradise”.
HMP Whatton in Nottinghamshire, the largest prison for sex offenders in Europe, has a hi-tech multimedia studio where prisoners produce their own podcasts. It also allows paedophiles to record bedtime stories for their child relatives.
An analysis by The Telegraph of the prison and five others that detain paedophiles found that inmates had access to a hipster vintage store, a bistro and enjoyed privacy locks in their cells.
As well as being the first woman to lead Canada’s armed forces, General Jennie Carignan is also in command as her country pushes to rearm on a scale not seen since the Cold War.
This includes expanding the full-time military, bolstering the number of reservists and attempting to get up to 300,000 civilians to join a “strategic reserve” – a pool of people with some form of training that could be called upon in the event of a major crisis.
“The world has changed,” General Carignan told Sky News. “We have to get ready for large-scale conflicts, more conventional, so we need a different military to do that and different capability.”

The UK will not be involved in enforcing the US military blockade of Iran, the BBC understands.
British naval ships and soldiers will not be used to block Iranian ports, while UK minesweepers and anti-drone capabilities will continue operating in the region.
A spokesperson for the UK government said: “We continue to support freedom of navigation and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is urgently needed to support the global economy and the cost of living back home.”
By the time Mark Carney turns off the light and heads to bed Monday night, he will know for certain that he is presiding over a majority government.
Carney and his Liberals currently have 171 seats in the House of Commons; the three byelections taking place Monday should give them 174 seats. That is still a tight majority, but it’s a majority nonetheless.

With the future of free trade between Canada and the United States unclear at best, a look to the past could provide hints at where critical exports of energy fit into a deal in the future.
Previous versions of the free trade agreements between the two countries used to include a section called “energy proportionality,” which restricted Canada from reducing the percentage of its total oil, gas or similar exports to the United States — even in the event of an emergency.
The Trans Superiority Narrative—TSN–is collapsing. We can shortly expect another Democrat favored victim group to surpass trans on the oppression hierarchy.
At 1 a.m. on March 25, a gunman approached the gate surrounding the Woodbridge, Ont., mansion of Paul Borrelli – an executive at Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP), the sister construction company to Canadian waste giant GFL Environmental Inc. – and sprayed the front of the property with bullets.
A few days earlier, a similar scene played out in midtown Toronto, when around 2 a.m. a gunman opened fire on the home of Mr. Borrelli’s GIP colleague Sean Goldberg, the son of investment banker Barry Goldberg, who helped finance GFL in its early days.
At a military parade in Beijing in September, President Xi Jinping and his special guests, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, watched as Chinese forces showed off several models of drones that could autonomously fly alongside fighter jets into battle.
The demonstration of technological might immediately set off alarm bells in the United States. Pentagon officials concluded that America’s program for unmanned combat drones was lagging China’s, according to three U.S. defense and intelligence officials. Russia, too, was thought to be ahead in building facilities that could produce advanced drones, said the officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on military capabilities.
On Thursday, federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called on the Liberal government to take action to protect private property rights in B.C. and across Canada. He was absolutely right to do so.
Poilievre explained that Canadians need the federal government, to “make it clear that the federal government’s position is that fee-simple property takes priority over all of the other claims.”
