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.

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 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.

Fans of African football want to see a comeback to African glory, and a new Confederation of African Football (CAF) project aims to get there by addressing the challenge of identifying and nurturing young talent. Can it work? Josey Mahachi talks to Hetnry Asante of the Ghana Football Association and DW's Isaac Kaledzi.

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.  Ultimately, he believes humanity is going to undergo a separation into 3D and 5D Earths, and we need to to prepare for the changes that lie ahead.James Gilliland's website is https://www.eceti.org/Index00:00:0006:27:18 Lunar Eclips15:18:17 Benevolent ET Groups25:49:15 Higher Dimensional Path37:24:23 Synthetics51:52:09 the Split01:06:46:09 final thoughts

fWotD Episode 2860: James Madison Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 4 March 2025 is James Madison.James Madison (March 16, 1751 [O. S. March 5, 1750] – June 28, 1836) was an American statesman, diplomat, and Founding Father who served as the fourth president of the United States from 1809 to 1817. Madison was popularly acclaimed the "Father of the Constitution" for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.Madison was born into a prominent slave-owning planter family in Virginia. In 1774, strongly opposed to British taxation, Madison joined with the Patriots. He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and the Continental Congress during and after the American Revolutionary War. Dissatisfied with the weak national government established by the Articles of Confederation, he helped organize the Constitutional Convention, which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government against democratic assembly. Madison's Virginia Plan was the basis for the convention's deliberations. He became one of the leaders in the movement to ratify the Constitution and joined Alexander Hamilton and John Jay in writing The Federalist Papers, a series of pro-ratification essays that remain prominent among works of political science in American history. Madison emerged as an important leader in the House of Representatives and was a close adviser to President George Washington. During the early 1790s, Madison opposed the economic program and the accompanying centralization of power favored by Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton. Alongside Thomas Jefferson, he organized the Democratic–Republican Party in opposition to Hamilton's Federalist Party. Madison served as Jefferson's Secretary of State from 1801 to 1809, during which time he helped convince Jefferson to submit the Louisiana Purchase Treaty for approval by the Senate.Madison was elected president in 1808. Motivated by a desire to acquire land held by Britain, Spain, and Native Americans, and after diplomatic protests with a trade embargo failed to end British seizures of American-shipped goods, Madison led the United States into the War of 1812. Although the war ended inconclusively, many Americans viewed it as a successful "second war of independence" against Britain. Madison was re-elected in 1812. The war convinced Madison of the necessity of a stronger federal government. He presided over the creation of the Second Bank of the United States and the enactment of the protective Tariff of 1816. By treaty or through war, Native American tribes ceded 26 million acres (11 million ha) of land to the United States during Madison's presidency.Retiring from public office at the end of his presidency in 1817, Madison returned to his plantation, Montpelier, where he died in 1836. Madison was a slave owner; he freed one slave in 1783 to prevent a slave rebellion at Montpelier but did not free any in his will. Historians regard Madison as one of the most significant Founding Fathers of the United States, and have generally ranked him as an above-average president, although they are critical of his endorsement of slavery and his leadership during the War of 1812. Madison's name is commemorated in many landmarks across the nation, with prominent examples including Madison Square Garden, James Madison University, the James Madison Memorial Building, the capitol city of Wisconsin, and the USS James Madison.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Tuesday, 4 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see James Madison 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 Kendra.

Hillari warns about the dangers of unchecked presidential power and explores how congress has succeeded in creating an American King.

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.

Assimilation (Star Trek: Picard, S2 E3) was recommended by Hauke he/him, who said: While it's very hard to pull out individual episodes of Picard (especially the first two seasons) on my current rewatch this one stood out to me.Having narrowly escaped the horrible Confederation of the alternate 2400, the crew travels back to 2024 to correct the timeline. “Let's see what has been lost in the wake of your fear” Q whispers to Picard again as they jump to the past.Assimilation sets up the character arcs for the rest of the season.Raffi is racked with guilt and anger for Elnor's death early in the episode.Seven, gets to experience not being met with fear since the timeline hop means she was never assimilated.Rios immediately gets into some good trouble meeting the charming doctor Teresa.And Jurati, still racked with guilt over killing Maddox in season one is doing something difficult and dangerous: impressing the Borg Queen (played in this iteration by the magnetic Anne Wershing who sadly passed away in early 2023).Fear, Hope, guilt, forgiveness. Picard season two is about all these things, deeply personal to both Picard and Stewart, and it doesn't get enough credit.“ Move backward to go forward. Shatter to mend. The past is now.”Assimilation first aired on March 17, 2022, written by Kiley Rossetter & Christopher Monfette, and directed by Lea ThompsonSeven distracts the Magistrate long enough for the group to overpower and kill him and his officers. The ship comes under attack, and the Queen takes advantage of the situation to directly connect herself to the ship's computers. She destroys their pursuers and slingshots the ship around the sun, creating a wormhole to 2024. She tells Picard that they must find "The Watcher" in Los Angeles who knows what Q changed to cause the new timeline. The ship crashes near Chateau Picard in France, and the Queen diverts all power to sustain herself. Elnor dies of his wounds, and Raffi angrily blames Picard before departing with Seven and Rios to start searching for the Watcher. Rios's transporter malfunctions and he is knocked out, waking up in a clinic that secretly treats undocumented immigrants. Before he can leave, immigration officers raid the clinic and arrest both Rios and his physician, Teresa. Rios's communicator is left behind. Despite Picard's warnings, Agnes connects her mind to the Queen and learns the exact location of the Watcher before she can be assimilated, impressing the Queen.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

A wolf's howl is felt in the body. Frightening and compelling, incomprehensible or entirely knowable, it is a sound that may be heard as threat or invitation but leaves no listener unaffected. Toothsome fiends, interfering pests, or creatures wild and free, wolves have been at the heart of Canada's national story since long before Confederation. Villain, Vermin, Icon, Kin: Wolves and the Making of Canada (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022) by Dr. Stephanie Rutherford contends that the role in which wolves have been cast - monster or hero - has changed dramatically through time. Exploring the social history of wolves in Canada, Dr. Rutherford weaves an innovative tapestry from the varied threads of historical and contemporary texts, ideas, and practices in human-wolf relations, from provincial bounties to Farley Mowat's iconic Never Cry Wolf. These examples reveal that Canada was made, in part, through relationships with nonhuman animals. Wolves have always captured the human imagination. In sketching out the connections people have had with wolves at different times, Villain, Vermin, Icon, Kin offers a model for more ethical ways of interacting with animals in the face of a global biodiversity crisis. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

One of Clay's favorite guests, Beau Breslin, talks about the early National Period as rife with conspiracy theories. The Declaration of Independence, for example, argued that the ministry and crown of England were engaged in a systematic conspiracy to “enslave” the colonists. Beau argues that the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was a conspiracy—even a cabal—of self-selected white men aiming to tear up the legitimate Articles of Confederation without authorization and begin again. The existing Articles authorized a few amendments but not a wholesale rewriting of the nation's social contract. We also discuss the South's paranoid (but sometimes legitimate) feeling that the faraway national government, dominated by commercial and industrial interests, was destroying Southern state sovereignty and meddling with an institution they could not possibly know enough about. And, at the end, we take a quick look at one of the enduring conspiracy theories in America: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Academy schools were one of the issues that listeners raised during, and since, Woman's Hour's special programme investigating the SEND system for children with special education needs and disabilities.

"We cannot be happy without being FREE." Those words come from John Dickinson, who saw LIBERTY as the foundation of everything else. Once almost as famous as Benjamin Franklin, Dickinson is almost totally forgotten today. Known as the “Penman of the Revolution,” he was a fierce defender of natural rights, the father of the Articles of Confederation, a leading opponent of the Stamp Act, a supporter of the Constitution, and much more. To honor his birthday, we're diving into the life and legacy of one of America's most underrated and ignored founding fathers. The post Most Underrated and Ignored Founder: John Dickinson, Penman of the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
