Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Larry Ostola speaks with Patrice Dutil about his book, Ballots and Brawls: The 1867 Canadian General Election. Ballots and Brawls by Patrice Dutil explores Canada's first federal election in 1867, shortly after Confederation. The book vividly recounts the idealistic foundations laid in the 1864 Charlottetown and Quebec City conferences and delves into the chaotic and often violent summer election across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. Dutil highlights the key political and social tensions of the time—economic issues, taxation, defence, and cultural divides—while profiling major figures like John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier. Drawing on archival sources and poll data, the book provides a compelling, detailed look at the birth of Canadian democracy. Patrice Dutil is a professor of politics and public administration at Toronto Metropolitan University and a senior fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. He is the founder of the Literary Review of Canada and was president of the Champlain Society from 2011 to 2017. He is the author and editor of several books on Canadian politics and governance, including Statesmen, Strategists and Diplomats: Canada's Prime Ministers and the Making of Foreign Policy and The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent: Politics and Policies for a Modern Canada.

In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano brings to life Roger Sherman, the only Founding Father to sign all four of America's key founding documents. As the quiet architect of America's Constitution, Sherman helped shape the nation through his authorship of the Great Compromise, his defense of religious liberty, and his opposition to unchecked government power. Although often overlooked in popular history, Sherman's influence is woven into the foundation of the American republic. This episode uncovers his critical role in uniting the colonies and defining the values that still guide the republic. Episode Highlights: Learn why Roger Sherman was the only person to sign the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. Explore how Sherman's Great Compromise became the foundation for the structure of Congress and preserved the balance between large and small states. Discover how his work protected religious liberty and challenged slavery, reflecting his moral vision for a just and free nation.

UK economic indicators pointed to persistent disinflation trends last week, even as uncertainty remained elevated. Bank of England ("BoE") Deputy Governor, Sarah Breeden, reinforced the case for policy easing, noting inflationary pressures are fading and labour market risks warrant caution. Several Monetary Policy Committee members echoed this sentiment in parliamentary appearances, with Swati Dhingra flagging downside risks to growth and Catherine Mann warning of tensions between rate cuts and quantitative tightening. The final composite Purchasing Managers' Index (“PMI”) in May improved to 50.3, led by a rebound in services, but backlogs declined and cost pressures persisted. The Confederation of British Industry's (“CBI”) private sector growth indicator slipped to a two-year low, and BoE's Decision Maker Panel survey saw little movement in inflation expectations...Stocks featured:Antofagasta, Fresnillo and WPPTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

In this episode of The Classical Mind, we dive into a curated selection of The Federalist Papers, the seminal series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to argue for the Constitution. Rather than tackling all 85 essays, we focus on a thematic collection (#s 1, 9-10, 15, 30, 39, 51, 62-63, 68, and 78) that highlights the philosophical and structural pillars of the American experiment in self-government.We begin with Hamilton's General Introduction (No. 1), then explore how the proposed union protects against internal strife and faction (Nos. 9–10), and why the Articles of Confederation were inadequate (No. 15). We examine the central role of federal taxation (No. 30), the plan's alignment with republican principles (No. 39), and the essential structure of checks and balances (No. 51).We also explore the three branches of government through Madison's defense of the Senate (Nos. 62–63), Hamilton's thoughts on presidential elections (No. 68), and his case for an independent judiciary (No. 78).Along the way, we consider the historical context: chaos under the Articles of Confederation, Enlightenment influences like Montesquieu, and why Democracy in America offers a fitting modern endnote. Join us as we revisit the founding debates that continue to shape the American constitutional imagination.Endnotes: -Hamilton -Junius: The Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today's Students by Allan Bloom -Wesley: Democracy in America by Alexis de TocquevilleOur next read will be Peter Pan.

United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8 provides:The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;Review the origins and debate over the authority to borrow money and hold debt as set forth in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.Understand how the Articles of Confederation provided that the debts incurred by the states and Congress would be honored, and paying down the debt was a critical reason for adopting the Constitution. However, the Founding Fathers universally believed that the Congress under the Articles was incapable of paying the debt, and this weakness was a major reason for the calling of the Constitutional Convention.Learn how although the Constitutional Convention originally agreed that payment of the debts was mandatory and Congress would assume the debts of the States, those provisions were omitted in the Constitution. Instead, Article I, Section 8 vests the Congress with the power to borrow funds on the credit of the United States and to pay its debts. Discover how the Constitutional Convention originally agreed to create a constitutionally created Treasurer of the United States, and then agreed to eliminate the position.Review how Anti-Federalists attacked the debt power as destructive to American liberties.Explore how the debt provisions were essential to secure the good credit of the country, to repay creditors who funded the American Revolution and the Congress afterwards, and to ensure the security of the country in the future. Its abuse is to be kept in check by the reality that we elect the Congress that incurs the debt — they are accountable to We, The People.Highlights include the Constitutional Convention, Articles of Confederation, the New Jersey Plan, the Paterson Plan, the Paterson Resolutions, the Randolph Resolutions, the Randolph Resolves, the Virginia Plan, James Madison, Shays' Rebellion, Roger Sherman, Judge John Yates, Governor Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Gunning Bedford, Jr., Elbridge Gerry, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Ellsworth, Governor Wiliam Livingston, Roger Sherman, Dr. William Samuel Johnson, Gouverneur Morris, United States Treasurer, Rhode Island Constitutional Convention, Edward Rutledge, Virginia Constitutional Convention, Anti-Federalists, Agrippa, Brutus, John DeWitt, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, House of Representatives, United States Senate, and more.To learn more about the Constitution & Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee stood before the Continental Congress with a resolution declaring that the united colonies were free and independent states, and that all political connection between them and Great Britain was “totally dissolved.” It also called for foreign alliances and a plan that would become the Articles of Confederation. The Lee Resolution was the culmination of a series of revolutionary measures that had already begun secession from the British Empire. This is the story behind the Declaration of Independence that most people never learn about. The post The Forgotten Resolutions That Actually Started Independence first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
UK economic data last week highlighted renewed inflation pressures and persistent uncertainty. Food inflation hit a one-year high in May, rising 2.8% year-on-year. Kantar reported that grocery prices surged 4.1%, the highest in 15 months, driven by higher payroll taxes and minimum wage hikes. Business confidence slumped, with Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) surveys showing sharp declines across services, as firms cited rising employment costs and tax burdens. The Bank of England (“BoE”) Governor, Andrew Bailey, urged caution on rate cuts, citing inflation uncertainty and trade risks, while Monetary Policy Committee (“MPC”) member Alan Taylor advocated for easing due to downside risks. Despite headwinds, Lloyds' business barometer rebounded to 50%, buoyed by Donald Trump's softened tariff stance and a US-UK trade deal. However, artificial intelligence (“AI”) disruption concerns mounted, with youth unemployment rising to 12.6%...Stocks featured:Auto Trader Group, GSK and M>o find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

From the corrupt rise of High Lord Goge Vandire and his galaxy‑spanning Reign of Blood to the cataclysmic power struggle between the Administratum and the Ecclesiarchy, we break down every purge, coup and miracle that reshaped the Imperium. Learn how warp storms cut entire sectors adrift, why whole planets were tithed into ash for golden cathedrals, and how Vandire's tyrannical rule ended with a bolt round delivered by the newly‑forged Daughters of the Emperor—soon to become the Adeptus Sororitas.We'll trace the reforms of Saint Sebastian Thor, the dissolution of the Frateris Templar, the Assassinorum's secret “War of Vindication,” and the lasting impact this era still has on 41st‑millennium politics, faith and warfare.———TAGSAge of Apostasy,Reign of Blood,Goge Vandire,High Lord Vandire,Administratum power coup,Ecclesiarchy civil war,Frateris Templar,Brides of the Emperor,Daughters of the Emperor,Adeptus Sororitas,Sisters of Battle origin,Saint Sebastian Thor,Confederation of Light,Ophelia VII palaces,Frateris Templar purges,Imperial Creed schism,Vandire child tithe,Vandire palace siege,Golden Throne faith,Imperial Palace decay,Custodes intervention,War of Vindication,Assassinorum civil war,Temple Vindicare,Temple Callidus,Temple Culexus,Temple Eversor,Assassinorum oversight,Thorian movement,Thor cult,Space Pope analog,Church of the Emperor,Ministorum history,Imperial tithe increase,Ecclesiarch mobility decree,Ophelian cathedrals,Earth return Exodus,Imperial bureaucracy collapse,Imperial civil strife,Imperial warp storms,Plague of Unbelief,False prophets 40k,Vandire heresy,Ecclesiarch politics,40k political intrigue,Imperial religion corruption,Warhammer 40k lore,Warhammer history,Imperium timeline,Imperial cult lore,Sisters of Battle lore,Administratum lore,Ecclesiarchy lore,Age of Apostasy explained,Goge Vandire explained,Saint Thor explained,Reign of Blood explained,Frateris Templar explained,Imperial faith wars,Custodian Guard lore,Black Templars rebellion,Mechanicus intervention,Ophelian cathedrals size,Imperial monuments,Imperial treasury drain,Imperial Senate fall,Imperial High Lords purge,Imperial power vacuum,Imperial propaganda,Imperial schism wars,Imperial civil war history,Ecclesiarch powers stripped,Ministorum reformation,Thor reforms,Ecclesiarchy military ban,Decree Passive,Sororitas Founding,Battle Sisters founding,Power and faith 40k,Vandire madness,Imperial fanaticism,40k corruption,40k politics,40k theology,grimdark history,Warhammer universe,WH40K deep dive,lore video,40k lore channel,tabletop lore,Warhammer storytelling,emperor of mankind religion,Imperium backstory,Imperial icons,Imperial cult dangers,civil unrest 40k,galactic tyranny,Vandire executions,burning worlds 40k,Imperial saints,Sororitas miracles,faith and fire 40k,grimdark theology,Vandire downfall,Ecclesiarch downfall,Sebastian Thor sermons,corpse emperor worship,Imperial reformation,Imperial relics,Ophelia VII wealth,church vs state 40k,40k faction history,Warhammer narrative,Age of Apostasy timeline,Ministorum archives————————————Opinions expressed in this video are solely those of Isyander & Koda and in no way reflect the views or opinions of Games Workshop Ltd.Support the show
pWotD Episode 2952: 2025 Polish presidential election Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 222,847 views on Sunday, 1 June 2025 our article of the day is 2025 Polish presidential election.Presidential elections were held in Poland on 18 May 2025. As no candidate secured more than 50% of the vote, a second round was held on 1 June 2025. Incumbent president Andrzej Duda is ineligible for re-election, as he is term-limited. The election saw the largest number of candidates tied with 1995, with 13 candidates running for President. The incumbent government supported candidate Rafał Trzaskowski, the Mayor of Warsaw and runner-up of the 2020 election, who came first in the first round of voting, followed by conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki who was backed by Law and Justice. The right-wing candidates, Nawrocki, Sławomir Mentzen (New Hope) and Grzegorz Braun of the monarchist Confederation of the Polish Crown overperformed polls, winning 29.5%, 14.8% and 6.3% respectively, coming in second, third and fourth. Centrist candidate Szymon Hołownia (PL2050) and the left-wing candidates of Magdalena Biejat (The Left) and Adrian Zandberg (Partia Razem) did poorly. Nawrocki ran on a Christian nationalist and culturally conservative platform and against Donald Tusk's ruling coalition, demonstratively throwing a copy of Gender Queer: A Memoir into a paper shredder during the 2025 campaign. Nawrocki's platform called for significant government intervention in the economy, maintaining close ties between the Catholic Church in Poland and the Polish government, the broad criminalization of abortion, and opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage or civil unions, citing the sexual ethics of the Catholic Church and protection of the family. Trzaskowski ran on economic liberalization, European integration, the broad legalization of abortion, the introduction of same-sex civil unions, and a greater role for local governments in voivodeships. They differed on further strengthening relations with the European Union and Ukraine's membership in NATO, with Tzraskowski supporting. Nawrocki opposed Ukraine's asscession into NATO and strengthening of relations with the EU. Both ran on pro-western platforms.The election result was the closest in Polish history since the collapse of the Polish People's Republic. Prior to the election observers characterised a Nawrocki win as hurting Donald Tusk's government, due to bills requiring 60% support in the Parliament in cases of presidential objection. The results continued Law and Justice and its aligned presidential candidates only losing one presidential election in the last 20 years. The first-round results also showed a significant political strengthening of the Polish nationalist Confederation Liberty and Independence. Exit polling indicated that younger voters were more likely to favor Nawrocki in the second round and other right-wing parties in the first; the far-right Confederation Liberty and Independence alliance had by far the best performance in its history and performed best among the youngest generation of Polish voters.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 06:49 UTC on Monday, 2 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2025 Polish presidential election on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.
Positively oriented galactic associations have intervened in human affairs using very different conflict resolution approaches. On the one hand, there is a spiritually oriented, almost pacifist organization that goes by names such as ‘Confederation of Planets,' 'Galactic Confederation,' ‘Confederation of Light,' etc. On the other hand, organizations such as the 'Galactic Federation of Worlds' and the 'Ashtar Command' are more military-oriented and interventionist in dealing with negative extraterrestrial activities and influences.The Confederation of Planets takes a more long-term spiritual approach, emphasizing nonviolence, cosmic consciousness, education, and love. In short, the "Confederation" is a loosely bound, noninterventionist, almost pacifist galactic alliance. In contrast, the "Federation," has a more tightly integrated structure that includes a unified military that facilitates direct intervention in galactic conflicts.In this exopolitical commentary, Dr. Michael Salla discusses the Confederation of Planets and how it differs from the Galactic Federation of Worlds in conflict resolution. He cites extensively from his book, Galactic Federations, Councils and Secret Space Programs (2022), to provide sources and information describing these different extraterrestrial organizations, and how they intervene to improve the human situation.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of constitutional law, focusing on the separation of powers, checks and balances, and landmark Supreme Court cases. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these principles for law students and highlights ongoing debates regarding executive power and the role of the judiciary.This conversation serves as the first lecture in a series on Constitutional Law, specifically focusing on the structure of the U.S. government. It introduces the fundamental principles of the Constitution, including its historical context and the concept of Constitutional Law. The lecture then outlines the three branches of government—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial—as defined by the Constitution. A key focus is the doctrine of separation of powers and the interconnected system of checks and balances designed to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful. Finally, the lecture discusses landmark Supreme Court cases that have interpreted and shaped our understanding of these structural principles.TakeawaysConstitutional Law is primarily derived from the United States Constitution. Its fundamental role is to govern the relationships between the branches of government, between the federal government and the states, and between the government and individuals.The U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787 and ratified in 1788, taking effect in 1789. It replaced the Articles of Confederation.The Preamble outlines the foundational purposes and guiding values of the Constitution, such as forming a more perfect union, establishing justice, and securing the blessings of liberty.The doctrine of separation of powers refers to the division of governmental functions into three distinct branches: the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.The two chambers of the U.S. Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Article One of the Constitution governs the Legislative Branch.The Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress the authority to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution its enumerated powers. This clause has been a source of debate regarding the scope of federal legislative authority.Key powers of the President include serving as Commander-in-Chief, making treaties with Senate consent, appointing federal officers and judges, and ensuring that the laws are faithfully executed.Congress can override a President's veto power by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.The principle of judicial review was established in Marbury v. Madison. It means that the Supreme Court has the power to interpret the Constitution and federal law and to invalidate laws or executive actions that are inconsistent with the Constitution.The Supreme Court struck down the legislative veto in INS v. Chadha because it violated the separation of powers by circumventing the constitutional requirements for legislative action, specifically bicameralism (passage by both houses) and presentment (submission to the President).The Constitution sets up three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial.These branches interact through a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from dominating.Landmark cases like Marbury, Youngstown, Chadha, Clinton, and Mistretta illustrate how these principles work in practice.The system is dynamic, with ongoing debates about the balance of power, especially regarding executive authority.Understanding these concepts is fundamental for legal analysis in any area of law involving government.The separation of powers framework is designed to prevent tyranny but can lead to gridlock.The judiciary's role in interpreting laws can lead to debates about judicial activism versus restraint.The administrative state raises questions about accountability and the delegation of power.The balance of power has shifted towards the executive branch over time, raising concerns.
This lecture explores the foundational framework of the United States Constitution, focusing on the separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It discusses the key powers and functions of each branch, the system of checks and balances, landmark Supreme Court cases, and contemporary debates surrounding the constitutional framework.TakeawaysConstitutional law is derived from the United States Constitution.The Constitution serves as the supreme law of the land.The separation of powers divides government functions into three branches.Each branch operates independently but is interconnected through checks and balances.Congress is the legislative branch closest to the people.The President has significant powers, including veto authority.The judiciary interprets the Constitution and federal law.Judicial review is a key principle established by Marbury v. Madison.Impeachment serves as a check on federal officials, including the President.Contemporary debates focus on the efficiency and power dynamics within the government.Constitutional Law is primarily derived from the United States Constitution.

In this solo deep-dive episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret tackles the untold history of Canada, exposing the imperial roots of Confederation and the British Crown's long war on republicanism. Broadcasting from Alberta, Matt unpacks how Canada's formation in 1867 was engineered to thwart U.S.-style sovereignty, tracing British counter-revolutionary strategies through figures like Lord Alfred Milner, Mark Carney, and Sir John A. Macdonald. Through historical analysis and biting insight, Matt reveals how pro-British networks derailed movements for Canadian-American unity, crushed visionary infrastructure projects like the Bering Strait rail link, and weaponized cultural identity against liberty itself. He highlights unsung Canadian nationalists, compares economic models of empire vs. republic, and makes the case for an Alberta revival rooted in real independence, not just secession. From Franklin and Lincoln to Russia and China, Ehret draws powerful global parallels to today's moment, calling for bold reforms like Glass-Steagall, a return to national banking, and a vision-driven economy. This isn't just Canadian history, it's a blueprint for reclaiming sovereignty from the empire, one idea at a time.
This Day in Legal History: Arrival of Constitutional DelegatesOn May 14, 1787, delegates from several states began arriving in Philadelphia for what would become the Constitutional Convention, a pivotal moment in American legal history. Originally convened to revise the Articles of Confederation, the gathering quickly evolved into a full-scale effort to draft a new framework of government. Only a handful of delegates were present on the 14th, but their arrival marked the start of weeks of foundational debate and compromise.The Convention was held at the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall, a site already steeped in revolutionary significance. Delegates represented a range of political and economic interests, and their regional differences would shape much of the debate to come. The eventual goal was to create a system that balanced federal and state authority while preventing tyranny through a series of checks and balances.While May 14 was the scheduled opening, a quorum was not achieved until May 25, delaying formal proceedings. Nonetheless, early arrivals used the time to strategize and lay the groundwork for proposals. Among them was James Madison, whose extensive preparation and later contributions earned him the title "Father of the Constitution."The Convention would ultimately produce the United States Constitution, replacing the Articles of Confederation and establishing the three branches of government. This foundational legal document remains the supreme law of the land, with its principles guiding American governance to this day.In a new analysis, the Tax Law Center critiques the House Ways and Means Committee's proposal to expand the section 199A pass-through business income deduction, calling it a costly move that deepens existing inequities in the tax code. Originally enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, section 199A allows qualifying owners of pass-through businesses to deduct up to 20% of their income. This benefit is already skewed heavily toward the top 1% of earners and industries such as law and lobbying. The provision, which expires after 2025 under current law, has not shown evidence of boosting economic activity and has instead encouraged tax avoidance strategies.The new proposal would raise the deduction rate from 20% to 23% and remove the income cap that currently limits eligibility for higher earners in certain industries. This change would particularly benefit high-income professionals whose pass-through income makes up a large share of their earnings. For example, under the proposed rules, a law firm partner earning $247,300 could receive a deduction of nearly $20,000—whereas they would get nothing under current 2025 law.The revised rules would also alter how phase-outs are calculated, increasing the value of the deduction for top earners while reducing it for some taxpayers whose income includes a mix of wages and pass-through business earnings. The analysis warns that these changes may incentivize further reclassification of income to exploit the deduction. Additionally, the proposal extends the favorable treatment to interest income received through Business Development Companies (BDCs), providing a new tax break for certain investment structures favored by private funds.Ways and Means proposes making costly 199A “pass-through” deduction more generous and valuable to high-income earnersHarvard University has broadened its lawsuit against the federal government, escalating a legal dispute over the termination of billions in federal funding. The amended complaint, filed in federal court in Boston, follows a new wave of agency letters formally cutting off $450 million in grants and reaffirming the earlier freeze of over $2.2 billion. The government attributes the funding halt to Harvard's alleged failure to address antisemitic incidents on campus.Harvard argues that the funding freeze is an unconstitutional retaliation for its refusal to cede academic control to federal authorities. The university maintains that these actions violate its First Amendment rights, particularly in relation to academic freedom and decision-making in areas like faculty hiring and student admissions. The complaint asserts that the administration is effectively punishing Harvard for not aligning with its political and ideological expectations.The dispute has wide-ranging implications, threatening numerous research initiatives and sectors dependent on Harvard's federal support. Agencies including the NIH, USDA, DOE, DOD, and HUD have all issued letters stating the university's recent conduct undermines federal priorities, leaving no room for corrective action.Harvard President Alan Garber has condemned the funding cuts as political overreach, warning they jeopardize core institutional freedoms. Meanwhile, a federal task force countered with a public rebuke of Harvard's leadership, accusing it of fostering discrimination and failing to protect Jewish students.A hearing in the case is scheduled for July 21.Harvard Expands Lawsuit Against US as Funding Feud Deepens (1)A Los Angeles judge resentenced Erik and Lyle Menendez to 50 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole, replacing their original sentence of life without parole for the 1989 murder of their parents. The decision followed emotional testimony from family members, former prison officials, and a rehabilitated inmate who credited the brothers with his transformation. Judge Michael Jesic noted that while the crime was shocking, the brothers' prison records and support from correctional staff and victims' relatives were extraordinary, calling the case a “unicorn.”The Menendez brothers are now immediately eligible for parole, with a hearing scheduled for June 13. Their attorney, Mark Geragos, said the new sentence reflects evolving views on incarceration and rehabilitation. During the hearing, both brothers expressed remorse and outlined plans for continued advocacy if released—Lyle focusing on prison rehabilitation through green spaces, and Erik on hospice programs for elderly inmates.The resentencing aligns with the position of former L.A. District Attorney George Gascón, who had supported a review of their case based on claims of childhood sexual abuse and their youth at the time of the crime. However, current DA Nathan Hochman opposed the change, questioning the brothers' remorse and pointing to a moderate risk assessment in related clemency proceedings.Prosecutors also scrutinized the brothers' past trial conduct, alleging they encouraged perjury and had not been truthful about the events surrounding the murder. Despite this, their family members testified they felt safe around Erik and Lyle both before and after the killings and urged an end to the decades-long public scrutiny.Menendez Brothers Given Chance of Parole With New Sentence (3)Wisconsin Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of obstructing proceedings and concealing a person from arrest. The charges stem from an April 18 incident in which Dugan allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, avoid immigration agents by allowing him to leave through a restricted jury door near her courtroom. The agents, who lacked a judicial warrant, were waiting to detain him outside the courthouse.Dugan was arrested on April 25 and has since been temporarily suspended from her judicial duties by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Her legal team maintains that she is innocent and expects to be exonerated during court proceedings. The case raises questions about the limits of judicial discretion when intersecting with federal immigration enforcement.Wisconsin judge indicted on obstructing immigration case | Reuters This is a public episode.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're throwing shade. What do you do when you're in the White House and forced to do a media availability with a crazy person? Make faces at the camera, of course. We'll talk about Carney's new place as everyone's favourite anti-Trump figure, some complicated feelings post-election in Alberta, and then we'll talk to the man who now formally represented Guelph in the House of Commons. This Thursday, May 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Separation Anxiety. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced on Monday that if enough people in the province agree, the rest of Canada won't have Alberta to kick around anymore! Smith says that if enough people sign a petition, she will hold a referendum on separation. There's quite a vocal constituency in the Wildrose Province who want to put Confederation in the past, but are there enough of them to make a formal go of it? And do they even understand the logistics of leaving Canada? Pundit? Just Leave It. Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to the White House this week was considered a success because he managed not to get yelled at by Donald Trump. Carney's Trump handling abilities scored him points from many American pundits who have all hailed the PM as the leader of the resistance they've all been waiting for, but what about us Canadians? Why isn't anyone talking about the issues we want fixed? Do Canadians even matter when it comes to our own politics anymore? So Longfield. For the last 10 years, Guelph has been represented in Parliament by Lloyd Longfield. The former President of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce was elected along with the rest of Justin Trudeau's first class in 2015, and unlike many of his colleagues, Longfield happily went about the regular, everyday work of doing Member of Parliament stuff and avoided cabinet ambitions and political power plays. In his last professional appearance on Open Sources, Longfield will tell us how he did it, and what comes next. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Returning from their hiatus, Nithin and Jeremy look into what Confederation entities might have to say about the subject of depression. We look at depression in several senses: as a starving of love from its source, a rejection of the self and the circumstances in which it finds itself, an opportunity to empty the self in order to make room for the new, and more. Applying their experience with depressive states at various moments in their lives, Jeremy and Nithin delve into the nature of this condition as one milestone in an overall process of transformation. We are not asked to understand so much as to have faith in the goodness of this transformation and, in so doing, take responsibility for our small role as instruments of our Creator.Show NotesQ'uo on catalyst gone awry (May 2, 2004)Q'uo on the influence of different melodies on the self (October 15, 2005)Q'uo on the spiraling nature of recurring catalyst (May 1, 2005)Latuii on the opportunity of depression (February 28, 1982)Latuii on depression and transformation (May 20, 1984)Q'uo on transformation and the light touch (July 12, 1992)Q'uo on depression and red ray blockage (November 24, 2007; May 10, 2008)Q'uo on the role of all energy centers in depression (October 8, 2006)Q'uo on depression and its archetypes (July 26, 1987)
Premier Danielle Smith says her Canada includes Alberta...but she'll trigger a referendum question on separation if enough Albertans petition her to do so. This, just days after her UCP government made it (much) easier to do exactly that. Meantime, as Alberta sovereigntists grow louder after Mark Carney's election win, First Nations leaders are pushing back with a reminder about treaty agreements. Advocates fighting poverty, inequality, and inaction are crying foul over political stunts and distractions. Where is all of this headed?

Mark Carney's steady economic message resonated with voters, helping the Liberals secure a fourth consecutive term — though still a minority. But the results have stirred fresh tensions with Alberta, where Premier Danielle Smith is moving ahead to lower the bar for referendums as talk of separatism re-emerges. In this episode of West of Centre, host Kathleen Petty explores what the outcome means for Canada's future — and Alberta's increasingly restless role within Confederation.Three Calgary voters — Darryl, Sunil and Chelsea — offer raw, personal reflections. While Chelsea calls the election a rejection of Trumpism, Sunil, a disappointed Conservative supporter, questions whether his party can ever win under the current political setup. The panel debates Carney's appeal to centrists, the collapse of the NDP, and whether Alberta's political class is rallying voters or fanning division.Later, former Conservative cabinet minister Monte Solberg and political strategist Stephen Carter join for a spirited post-mortem. Carter jokes about his Strategists podcast partner Corey Hogan's surprise win in Calgary Confederation, while both guests assess Carney's leadership, Pierre Poilievre's limits and Smith's political calculations. Despite their differences, they agree: if the Liberals want to ease Western alienation, Alberta needs a real voice in cabinet — and Smith has a window to show she can build bridges, not just burn them.
Alex Aragona speaks with Graeme Thompson about Canada's evolving role on the global stage, from Confederation through to the post-Cold War era and into the geopolitical uncertainties of today. They explore Canada's historical balancing act between major powers, its close alignment with the United Kingdom and later the United States, and its present-day challenges in maintaining global relevance amid military underinvestment and economic stagnation. Thompson argues that Canada must become more serious about geopolitics if it wants to protect its sovereignty and remain influential internationally.

PEI has the highest voter turnout of any other province in Canada. Voting is fundamental to this community. Residents see firsthand how their vote matters — several elections were decided by 25 votes or less. In this small province, people have a personal and intimate connection with politicians. MLAs know voters on an individual basis and they feel a duty to their job. In the third episode of our series, IDEAS for a Better Canada (produced in partnership with the Samara Centre for Democracy), Nahlah Ayed visits the birthplace of Confederation to hear how Prince Edward Islanders sustain the strong democracy they built.

“What I'd like to see is when these girls go back into society, they don't end up back in prison. It's about using football for positive social change. Football is more than just a game on the pitch and this is an example of that.” The “Football for Reform” programme kicked off in Sierra Leone last November, taking place over 8 days. Run by Caf – the Confederation of African Football – it involved female prisoners being taught football coaching skills. The hope with the project is for some of the women to find jobs in the field in the future. Alan Kasujja speaks with Isha Johansen, former President of the Sierra Leone FA and Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo, former Ghana national team women's coach. He also hears the thoughts of two women prisoners.

The Hanseatic League was a major player in Northern Europe for centuries, it dominated trade in the North and Baltic Seas, fought wars with rival powers, and dictated terms to princes. But the League was not a state, proto-state, or quasi-state, it was a collection of Merchants, Guilds, and Towns.Time Period Covered: 1143-1441Notable Events/Developments: Founding of Lubeck, Formation of the Hanseatic League, Hanseatic Boycotts of Bruges (1280-1282, 1358-1360, 1388-1391), Danish-Hanseatic War, The Confederation of Cologne, Dutch-Hanseatic War
In this episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we delve into the remarkable lives of the wives of Roger Sherman, a key figure in America's founding who uniquely signed all four cornerstone documents: the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. But behind this self-made patriot were two extraordinary women—Elizabeth Hartwell Sherman and Rebecca Prescott Sherman—who played pivotal roles in his life and legacy.Born into modest beginnings in 1721, Roger's early life was marked by hardship and determination. After losing his father at a young age, he took on the responsibility of supporting his family, eventually becoming a shoemaker while self-educating in law and mathematics. His ascent from humble beginnings to a prominent political figure is a testament to his grit and resilience. We explore how his journey was profoundly shaped by the unwavering support of his first wife, Elizabeth, whose gentle nature and strong Christian character provided a stable foundation for their family amidst the challenges of colonial life.Elizabeth's untimely passing at just 34 years old left Roger a widower with four young children, but her legacy of strength and faith continued to influence his path. Just three years later, he married Rebecca Prescott, a spirited woman who not only took on the role of stepmother to Roger's children but became an invaluable partner in his political endeavors. Rebecca's intelligence and charm shone brightly as she navigated the social circles of the revolutionary era, even participating in the creation of Connecticut's first state flag.Join us as we reflect on the lives of Elizabeth and Rebecca, two formidable women whose contributions were integral to Roger Sherman's success and whose stories remind us of the vital roles women played in shaping our nation's history. Their legacies, intertwined with Roger's, offer a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifices and steadfast support that fueled the ambitions of America's founders.If you enjoyed this episode and wish to support our mission, consider contributing through Buy Me a Coffee, Patreon, or exploring our shop.

This wasn't just about making coins—it was about asserting economic independence from Britain and stabilizing a young country drowning in a mess of foreign currencies, state-issued money, and bartering. The Act, officially titled "An Act establishing a Mint, and regulating the Coins of the United States," pegged the dollar to a bimetallic standard—gold and silver—with specific weights: a dollar was defined as 371.25 grains of pure silver or 24.75 grains of pure gold, roughly matching the Spanish silver dollar's value, which was already widely used. It authorized coins like the silver dollar, half-dollar, and gold eagles ($10, $5, $2.50 denominations), plus smaller copper cents and half-cents. The Mint, set up in Philadelphia (then the capital), started churning out coins by 1793, with the first silver dollars appearing in 1794. This move was huge. Before 1792, the U.S. had no unified currency—think British pounds, French livres, and Spanish pieces of eight sloshing around with state banknotes that nobody trusted. The Articles of Confederation left Congress powerless to coin money eff...
James Gilliland describes the incredibly powerful transformative energies sweeping our planet and how this raises suppressed emotional issues that trigger discomfort, anxiety and illness. He believes that the chaotic energies starseeds and lightworkers are facing are ultimately healing discordant energies need to be integrated in ways unique to each person.Gilliland discusses different factions of extraterrestrials working with humanity ranging from more military-oriented organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds, to more spiritual organizations such as the Confederation of Planets, etc. He believes that the latter group contains very highly evolved ET up to 8th and 9th dimensional consciousness who are quietly helping humanity behinds the scenes. Gilliland believes 2025 is not going to be an easy year as around 10% of Deep State and negative ET-controlled DUMBs still have to be cleared by teams of Earth Alliance and benevolent ETs.

From a recent SAND Community Gathering (Feb 2025) hosted by SAND co-founders, Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo. Deep Medicine Circle (DMC), a collective of healers, farmers, artists, and storytellers, is challenging colonial structures by redefining health and wellbeing through practices that heal communities and restore connections to land. Led by Dr. Rupa Marya, Charlene Eigen-Vasquez, and Walter Riley, this visionary group is creating a holistic food and wellbeing model that nourishes both people and land, recognizing the profound interconnectedness of human health within social, environmental, and historical contexts. Dr. Rupa Marya is a physician, activist, writer, mother, and a composer. She is a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and a co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition. Her work sits at the nexus of climate, health and racial justice. She is the co-author with Raj Patel of the book Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice. She works to decolonize food and medicine in partnership with communities in Lakhota territory at the Mni Wiconi Health Circle and in Ohlone Territory through the Deep Medicine Circle. She has toured twenty-nine countries with her band, Rupa and the April Fishes, whose music was described by the legend Gil Scott-Heron as “Liberation Music.” Charlene Eigen-Vasquez, J.D. is of Ohlone descent, from the village of Chitactac. She is dedicated to land back initiatives, land preservation, land restoration, cultural revitalization and environmental justice because she feels that these initiatives have a direct impact on physical and mental health. As a mother and grandmother, she completed a law degree so that she might better serve Indigenous communities. Today her focus is on regenerative leadership strategies, leveraging her legal skills, and mediation skills to advocate for Indigenous interests, negotiate agreements and build relational bridges. She is an acknowledged peacemaker, trained by Tribal Supreme Court Justices. Charlene is the former CEO and Director of Self-Governance for the Healing and Reconciliation Institute. Charlene also serves as Chairwoman of the Confederation of Ohlone People, Co-Chair of the Pajaro Valley Ohlone Indian Council and Board Vice President for the Santa Clara Valley Indian Health Center.

The growth of women's football in Morocco has seen more girls taking up the sport. The evidence of this can be seen in how many young girls play the beautiful game in their neighbourhoods, in the streets. It's something which would not have happened 20 years ago. The success of women's football there has also been reflected in the packed stadiums and the rising number of people watching the women's national team- the Atlas Lionesses- on television. They are also the first North African and Arab squad to qualify for the Women's World Cup. So what's behind the growth in women's football in Morocco? In today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to 15 year old Imane on why she decided to play football, Atlas Lioness forward Rosella Ayane and Meskerem Tadesse Goshime, the Confederation of African Football's head of women's football.
Historically, America thrived on tariffs. In fact, we had tariffs from the very beginning - from Colonial times to the Confederation period to our Constitution, and then throughout the antebellum period, through America's industrial rise and from there up to WWII. In this episode, I'll share a brief review of this history along with my take on how Pres. Trump's tariffs may be different than previous tariffs in U.S. history. ☑️Images from left to right: Pres. Andrew Jackson, Donald Trump and George Washington, and Sec. of Treasury Alexander Hamilton
The end of the war brought its own difficulties. The states no longer felt a strong need to remain united, and no one wanted to repay their war debts. In September, 1786, a group of nationalists met quietly at Annapolis, supposedly to discuss trade and commerce issues. They ended up proposing holding another Convention in Philadelphia to discuss a broader range of problems with the Articles of Confederation.
