This week on Open Sources Guelph it's all going according to plan. Sort of. At least that's what the Prime Minister of Canada wants us to think as he seeks out foreign investment around the globe. Closer to home, trouble is brewing for his provincial counterparts in Quebec, while even more closer to home we will talk to the head of Guelph city council about all the things he can't or won't do when it comes to the city budget. This Thursday, November 27, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Trading Post. Prime Minister Mark Carney has been laser focused on the economy, but not wanting to deal with you-know-who in the White House has prompted some strange bedfellows, and it's seen Carney making deals with both Narendra Modi and Danielle Smith. But in the midst of all this deal-making is Carney losing the moral high ground on foreign interference and fighting climate change? Also, should we care that he doesn't care about meeting with Trump? The French Deflection. In June, the Quebec Liberal Party chose former federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez to lead them into next year's provincial election, and to have a shot at unseating the incumbent Coalition Avenir Quebec all they had to do was stay scandal-free. Oops. Now, twin scandals of a fired chief of staff and allegations of vote buying in the leadership contest are kicking up dirt that could scuttle the new image of the squeaky clean Liberals. What's going in the National Assembly? Mayor Cake. This week Guelph city council made amendments to the 2026 budget, which is now technically speaking the mayor's budget thanks to legislative changes from Queen's Park. Before the meeting, we sat down with the Mayor of Guelph, Cam Guthrie, to talk about his considerations going into the budget vote, the worst case scenarios he considered, the growing gap between fiscal need and financial resources, and the red line he needs to reach before using his veto pen. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

As Paris wrestles with political deadlock, questions are mounting over France's ability to project strength abroad. RFI spoke to author and political strategist Gerald Olivier about the ongoing political crisis in France and its repercussions abroad. France is once again mired in political turmoil after the National Assembly last week overwhelmingly rejected the revenue side of the 2026 budget. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is trying a new method: rather than attempting to push a full budget through a fractured parliament, he aims to break spending into "absolute priorities" – security, energy, agriculture and state reform – and put each item to MPs separately. The move is intended to avoid another budget showdown, after two years of governmental instability that have steadily chipped away at President Emmanuel Macron's authority. Critics, however, argue that the plan is merely a repackaged version of political improvisation – a delay tactic that risks further weakening France's credibility at home and on the world stage. Jean-François Husson, the Senate's general rapporteur for the budget, delivered one of the sharpest criticisms of Lecornu's move, describing it as a chaotic and ill-timed intervention. "If you want to give the French a dizzying ride, you could hardly do it better than this," he remarked, arguing that the government's approach was generating more confusion than clarity. For author and political strategist Gerald Olivier, there is a deeper problem. "France is sick, and France has been sick for a while," he says. "We're basically looking at a country with no government, no parliamentary majority and a total impossibility for any prime minister to put forward a credible programme." French lawmakers roundly reject income part of budget bill, send it to Senate France technically needs to pass its budget by 31 December, but Olivier is quick to point out that this deadline has been missed before. "Last year, the budget wasn't passed until February," he notes. If the same thing happens this time, the government can fall back on a temporary financial law that keeps spending aligned with the previous year's budget for up to 70 days. A more drastic option – to rule by decree – exists as a constitutional backstop. "This crisis exists because there is no majority in parliament," Olivier says. "And it's also because no party has had the courage to face the kind of medicine that France needs. That's the larger issue." International credibility As a major European power, France's domestic politics do not stay domestic for long. International investors and European Union partners are watching closely, especially after recent warnings from credit-rating agencies about France's deficit trajectory. According to Olivier, the damage is already evident. "France is already in a recession, and there are investments simply passing the country by," he argues. "No one knows what its tax status will be in the coming years." That uncertainty could have a ripple effect across the continent. France, he warns, risks becoming "economically weak and therefore politically weak within Europe", potentially deepening divisions between EU member states. France's economy minister warns latest credit downgrade a 'wake-up call' "The one reassuring piece of news is that France is not the only one in this situation. Germany is in dire shape, Italy is shaky, Sweden is having problems. It seems today that everyone in Europe is the sick man of Europe," he added. Periods of political instability often attract external opportunists – whether governments, speculators or hostile influence campaigns. But Olivier remains cautious when asked whether foreign actors are already exploiting France's woes. "I don't necessarily see it," he says, "but if you want to consider fictional scenarios, you could find many." France's EU membership, he argues, offers a buffer. "Having the EU behind you is reassuring. The idea of ‘Frexit' would be disastrous. The euro provides protection." Still, the consequences of weakened governance can extend beyond the economy. A fragile budget could force France to scale back overseas military deployments – a shift that could alter power dynamics in parts of Africa and the Middle East. "This kind of instability is not healthy for anyone," Olivier says. A president without momentum Macron's political capital has been in decline since the 2022 legislative elections, when he lost his absolute majority. The surprise dissolution of the Assembly after the 2024 European elections only worsened matters, splitting the parliament into three mutually hostile blocs. "It's done tremendous damage to Macron," Olivier says. "He was re-elected in 2022 because people didn't want Marine Le Pen. He didn't have the support he had in 2017, and disappointment set in." He argues that Macron himself triggered the crisis. "He dissolved the Assembly for no reason. The European elections had no influence on French politics, but he reacted as if they did – and he made things worse." Could the president break the deadlock? In theory, yes. "Macron could solve it instantly by resigning," Olivier notes. "That would trigger a new presidential election, followed by fresh parliamentary elections. That's how institutions are supposed to function." But he sees no sign that Macron intends to take that step. For now, he predicts "another 18 months of instability" with the possibility of yet another government reshuffle. "We've had four governments in 12 months. We could have a fifth one next year. There is no telling." France's Le Pen asks Bardella to prepare for 2027 presidential bid Eyes on 2027 With Macron unable to stand again, attention is already turning to the 2027 presidential race. The National Rally – headed by Marine Le Pen and her rising protégé Jordan Bardella – enters the campaign in a strong position. Republican Bruno Retailleau could emerge from the right, France Unbowed's Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Socialist Olivier Faure from the left. Names from the centre such as MEP Raphaël Glucksmann and the former prime minister from Macron's Renaissance party, Manuel Valls, have been floated too. Olivier's concern is not who the candidates are but how honest they will be about the situation. "No one is willing to say the country needs to make sacrifices," he warns. "France is in debt up to 115 percent of GDP. Public spending is too high. But nobody wants to tell voters that the social state cannot remain as generous as it is." He singles out one controversial, far-right figure: "The only person honest about the economic reality is Éric Zemmour – and there is zero chance he will be the next president."

Elias Makos is joined by Akil Alleyne, Reporter and commentator with extensive experience analysing legal, political, and social issues and Manager of the GemStar Circle of Excellence Scholarship Program, and Justine McIntyre, Strategic consultant and former city councillor. A new secularism bill will be tabled on Thursday at the National Assembly. Maybe Mark Carney cares afterall. Less than 48 hours after Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed a question about when he had last spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump with a flippant “Who cares?”, a federal government source has confirmed to CTV News that he is considering a trip to Washington next week. La Presse has announced that it has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. Elon Musk says that work will become optional, and that this version of the future could be just 10-20 years away.

The revocation of the Edict of Nantes led more than 200,000 Huguenots to flee France after 1685. Many settled close to the country's frontiers, where their leaders published apologetic texts arguing for their right to return to France and be recognized as French citizens. By framing their refugee experiences intentionally, even using the term "refugee" to describe their diaspora, Huguenots profoundly influenced Enlightenment debates on citizenship and religious tolerance.  Write to Return: Huguenot Refugees on the Frontiers of the French Enlightenment (McGill-Queen's, 2024) is a cultural history of these Huguenot apologetics in which Bryan Banks examines the work of four authors: Pierre Jurieu, Pierre Bayle, Antoine Court, and Jean-Paul Rabaut Saint-Étienne. Each author advanced his arguments using key ideas of the Enlightenment, appealing to reason to argue for freedom of conscience all while appealing to emotion in his descriptions of Huguenot victimhood. The authors' campaign succeeded. In 1789, France's revolutionary National Assembly granted repatriation to all expelled Huguenots, offering them citizenship regardless of place of birth or baptism, and even permitting them to reclaim ancestral lands.  International refugees played an overlooked role in shaping discourse around the nation and nationalism in the eighteenth century. Write to Return shows how early modern refugees could advocate for their interests, build international networks, and even craft a new collective identity. By presenting themselves as loyal citizens of France, Huguenots were at the forefront of constructing a French national identity.

The One Stop Border Post Bill is being debated in the National Assembly with lawmakers discussing its potential to improve border management. The bill aims to make it easier for people and goods to move legally across borders while cracking down on illegal activity.

However, concerns were raised about the bill's potential impact on security and human dignity at borders. Elvis Presslin spoke to Makashule Gana, Rise Mzansi Chief Organizer and National Assembly Caucus Whip, who says SA's immigration problem is the result of state inaction and poor cooperation with our neighbours

Some analysts are concerned that the lopsided deals will push ASEAN countries towards Beijing, this as China beefs up its own trade ties with the region.

Can the Centre hold in France?Nick Cohen discusses the dire state of French politics with journalist, author & academic Agnès Poirier. They discuss the chaos of politics in France over the last years which has seen 4 prime ministers come and go in barely a year. Extremists on the far right and far left are becoming ever more dominant - their voices ever more shrill.In 2017, Emmanuelle Macron became the youngest man since Napoloeon to head the French state and to become President of France, voted in off the back of his own centrist En Marche movement. In 18 months' time, Macron's second term and presidential career come to an end. And there are growing fears about what next presidential elections of May 2027 could herald a major extremist upset, as disappointed French political opinion seems to rush to the extremes of either the hard left firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon - defacto leader of La France Insoumise - or Marine Le Pen and the far right Le Rassemblement National (The National Ralley, formerly the National Front).Agnès Poirier explains the disillusionment and the current political landscape divided among Islamified left, failed Macron-centered centre, and radical right factions. Agnès and Nick explore Macron's challenges in maintaining power despite a lack of majority support, the rise of extreme parties, and the shifting dynamics within the French socialist movement. The discussion concludes with an examination of France's welfare system, the transformation of the National Rally under Marine Le Pen, and concerns about the potential rise of far-right leaders in future elections.French are more scared of hard left that far rightWhat if the Centre continues to collpase and the French are left with a choice between extreme right and left? Agnes Poirier says people are more concerned and worried about Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the left than the far right of Marine Le Pen, saying, "They [the Left] they go to the National Assembly dressed in t-shirts, um, or in football, shirts; they insult each other. They just want insurrection. They look dangerous. They speak dangerous, and they don't care. Whereas Marine Le Pen party is much more clever in the way they present themselves. They don't insult people. They're not loud; they put on a suit, and so at least on the surface, they are not scaring people and, and it works. It does work. Um, you'd rather have somebody who's not insulting you or shouting at you the way they do with their hard left." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today's podcast: 1) Israel and Hamas have reached a deal for the release of all hostages held by the militant group in Gaza, a major step toward ending a two-year war that’s devastated the Palestinian territory and triggered multiple conflicts in the Middle East as well as protests across the world. The agreement was reached early on Thursday after several days of indirect negotiations between the warring sides in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. The ongoing talks were brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey and based on a plan unveiled by President Trump last week. 2) French President Emmanuel Macron said he’ll name a new prime minister by Friday evening, having for the time being avoided the need to call a snap election that would have deepened the political chaos in France. Outgoing Premier Sebastien Lecornu, who was tasked by Macron on Monday to negotiate with the political groups in the National Assembly, said sufficient progress had been made to allow work to begin on forming a new cabinet. 3) China has unveiled broad new curbs on its rare earth exports, as Beijing moves to shore up its trade war leverage ahead of a high-stakes meeting this month between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Overseas exporters of items that use even traces of certain rare earths sourced from China will now need an export license, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement Thursday, citing national security grounds. Certain equipment and engineering technology will also be subject to controls, according to a separate release.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A series of adverse legal findings has put both Julius Malema's seat in Parliament and his position on the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) in jeopardy. Should he be served a severe sentence for his firearm offences, he will be disqualified from being a member of the National Assembly. Meanwhile, Chris Oxtoby of Freedom Under Law, tells Chris Steyn why the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader's position on the JSC has become “untenable”. He stresses that Parliament now has enough grounds to act. He further gives the inside story of two days of JSC hearings - from which Malema was absent in order to attend the Ad Hoc Committee hearings. Oxtoby says despite there being some “credible” candidates to fill a Supreme Court of Appeal vacancy, none were able to get enough votes. He describes Freedom Under Law's ongoing litigation with the JSC over its voting process, and questions “whether the process that we don't see after the interviews, the deliberations and the voting behind closed doors, whether that is properly fit for purpose if it's not being able to deliver us candidates…”

French Prime Minister Lecornu resigned, but will work for 48 hours—President Macron wants Lecornu to find a fiscal solution that would command National Assembly support. Despite obvious parallels, this is not the same as the UK's Truss debacle. The French bond market remains orderly. French assets will command a risk premium, as investors wait to see whether a new government or new elections are the outcome.

French politics has been in disarray since President Emmanuel Macron called an early legislative election last year, producing a deeply fragmented National Assembly. Now, with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigning after less than a month in the job, there are fears the French parliament has plunged into political deadlock.

France is farewelling its fifth Prime Minister in under two years as it enters a fresh political crisis. The country's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned just hours after appointing his new cabinet. His ministerial line-up has been heavily criticised by parties in the National Assembly. Newstalk ZB's Paris correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking Lecornu believed negotiations between other parties had stalled. She says he believed other parties just wanted to push their own programme on to the government, without making any compromises. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In June 2024 French President Emmanuel Macron took a political gamble – and lost heavily.Hoping to strengthen his centrist alliance he dissolved the National Assembly triggering an election. The result has been chaos – a legislature with no dominant political bloc in power and leading this week to France naming its fourth prime minister in 12 months and riots on the streets of Paris.At the centre of the political chaos is the threat of austerity budgets. France is deep in debt and a succession of Macron-appointment prime ministers have proposed budgets with tax hikes and deep cuts.On Monday, prime minister François Bayrou was ousted by a decisive vote after he proposed a tough budget. By Wednesday, Macron had appointed a replacement, Sébastien Lecornu.The problem for the next government, Lecornu's, is that a budget still needs to be passed and securing the backing of a very divided parliament will be difficult.The world's stage does see not much of French prime ministers because the president, Macron, holds substantial powers over foreign policy and European affairs.So does this open the door to a snap election? And how damaging is this for Macron that his own country is in chaos while he bestrides the stage, positioning himself as a powerful European leader.Naomi O'Leary, Irish Times European correspondent, explains a bleak week in French politics.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

How will 'Yellow Envelope' bill reshape Korea's labor landscape?진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel기사 요약: 20년 만에 통과된 '노란봉투법', 어떤 내용이며 한국의 노동 지형에 어떤 변화를 가져올까?[1] South Korea's labor relations are set for a major shift. On Aug. 24, South Korea's National Assembly passed a landmark amendment to the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, better known as the "Yellow Envelope" bill.-shift: 변화-landmark: 획기적인, 중요한 사건, 발견-amendment: 법의 개정, 수정[2] With 183 lawmakers voting in favor and only three against, the legislation marks the culmination of a 20-year demand from the labor movement to strengthen the constitutional right to organize, bargain and strike.-culmination: (오랫동안 계속된 일의) 정점-bargain: 협상하다-strike: 파업하다 (치다, 때리다)[3] Set to take effect in March 2026 after a six-month grace period, the amendment is expected to reshape labor relations. Experts say its impact lies not in strengthening unions that already wield influence, but in addressing Korea's deeply segmented labor market.-wield: (권력, 권위 등을) 행사하다-segmented: 분할된, 나뉘어진[4] “This law is not mainly about empowering workers in large firms who already enjoy strong protections,” said Lee Byoung-hoon, professor emeritus of sociology at Chung-Ang University. “The real purpose is to support those in the secondary or marginalized labor market — subcontracted, non-regular and platform workers — who have long been outside the reach of effective labor rights.”-marginalized: 소외된기사 원문: https://m.koreaherald.com/article/10564042
