On today's Big 5: Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer at Women in Governance, and Jonathan Kalles, Senior Vice President at Vantage and former advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Columnist Paul Journet warned that PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon may weaponize future federal clashes, like the upcoming Bill 21 Supreme Court ruling, to manufacture the political crisis needed to boost stagnant sovereignty support. Independent Chambly candidate Caroline Boisvert sparked fierce campaign trail debate after distributing promotional flyers featuring herself topless. A constitutional challenge was officially filed against Montreal's newly passed bylaw that carries heavy fines for insulting police and city staff. An Ontario truck driver was sentenced to six years in prison for causing a deadly 2022 South Shore pileup while playing a game on his cellphone.

The Big Five is the quintessential Montreal podcast, and the best way to get caught up on the top stories impacting the city. Every weekday, host Elias Makos and a roster of Montreal thought leaders debate and inform. On today's Big 5: Victor Henriquez, public affairs and crisis management specialist at Public Strategy and Conseil, and Dan Delmar, independent political analyst, media strategist, and co-founder of TNKR Media. Quebec's final election debate on Radio-Canada focused heavily on a potential sovereignty referendum, with Premier Christine Fréchette and Éric Duhaime drawing hard lines against the PQ. Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed to The New York Times that Ottawa is preparing for extreme risks, including a potential U.S. military invasion, while warning against Canadian reliance on Elon Musk's Starlink. A new Leger poll indicates seventy percent of Canadians support seeking an associate membership with the European Union, though voters strongly oppose altering domestic laws to match European regulations. Outrage is growing over the murder of a forty-five-year-old Montreal woman during a work video call after reports surfaced that the prime suspect was recently released following an assault on police officers.

Odzivi na zbrane podpise za referendum proti interventnemu zakonu so pričakovani. Opozicija, ki podpira argumente sindikatov, je zadovoljna. Koalicija na drugi strani skupaj z obrtniki in gospodarstveniki opozarja, da je zakon nujno potreben, vsako zavlačevanje njegove uveljavitve pa bo škodil razvoju Slovenije. Nekateri so že napovedali vključitev v kampanjo, drugi še ne; sindikalist Branimir Štrukelj napoveduje, da jo bodo pripravili skrbno in odgovorno, ne glede na morebitne diskreditacije in manipulacije zagovornikov zakona. Koalicija in opozicija ostajata na nasprotnih bregovih tudi glede SKOK-a. Druge teme: - Zupančič zagotavlja: Minister ne bo samovoljno odločal, kdo bo tožilec - Cene elektrike v Italiji med najvišjimi v Evropi, Rim zato utira pot vrnitvi jedrske energije - V Prekmurju z novimi enotami več prostora v domovih za starejše
Albertans will soon cast their vote on a referendum that could have significant impacts on the province. On October 19, Albertans must decide whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the legal process to hold a future legally binding vote on independence. The referendum raises questions that go far beyond separation, including how political and economic uncertainty could affect jobs, public services, immigration, and people living on low incomes. In this episode of Let's Talk Poverty, Michelle James, Director, Policy at Vibrant Communities Calgary, sits down with Ruhee Ismail-Teja of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and Alexa Briggs of the Nonprofit Chamber to explore what Alberta's referendum could mean for the economy, social services, and the well-being of Calgarians and Albertans. Three key takeaways Uncertainty around the vote has real and immediate consequences for Alberta. Polls show that business leaders in Alberta are already reconsidering expansion plans and considering relocation. Additionally, changes to immigration and Alberta's workforce could negatively impact the economy. Good economic policy is good social policy. The purpose of a strong economy is to create a vibrant city and province, where no one is left behind. Nonprofits play a major role in Alberta's economy and provide critical services to people experiencing hardship. Changes to government revenues, funding, or the cost of delivering services could have significant impacts. The other nine questions. Five questions address immigration and four address the Constitution. It is important to understand which questions are binding and what kind of action a 'yes' or 'no' vote would prompt from the government before voting. About Alexa Briggs Alexa Briggs is an executive leader and strategist with more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of public policy, organizational strategy and community impact. As Executive Vice President, Policy, Insight & Engagement at the Nonprofit Chamber, she leads policy, government relations, sector intelligence and stakeholder engagement. Her work spans workforce strategy, civic participation, poverty reduction, sector resilience, and economic and social policy. About Ruhee Ismail-Teja Ruhee Ismail-Teja is an executive leader in public affairs, currently serving as Vice President, Policy and External Affairs at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, overseeing public policy, media and communications, and government and external relations.

Donald Trump braucht positive Schlagzeilen: In knapp sechs Wochen finden die Midterms statt, bei denen die Republikaner ihre hauchdünnen Mehrheiten im Kongress verteidigen wollen. In den Umfragen liegen sie jedoch zurück. Der anhaltende Iran-Krieg und die steigenden Benzinpreise erschweren die Ausgangslage zusätzlich. Trump hat den Urnengang deshalb stark mit seiner eigenen Präsidentschaft verknüpft.Anders als viele US-Präsidenten vor ihm hält sich Trump im Midterm-Wahlkampf nicht zurück. Er macht die Wahlen zum persönlichen Referendum und mobilisiert seine Anhänger mit allen Mitteln. Gleichzeitig fliessen enorme Summen von Tech- und Krypto-Milliardären in den Wahlkampf der Republikaner. Und es gibt Befürchtungen, dass der politische Druck auf Wählerinnen und Wähler bis hin zu möglichen Behinderungen des Urnengangs zunehmen könnte.Kann Trump das Steuer noch herumreissen? Hilft ihm der pompöse Staatsbesuch von Xi Jinping diese Woche? Oder sorgt eine überraschende politische Entwicklung im Oktober für die Wende? Darüber sprechen Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, und der langjährige USA-Korrespondent Martin Kilian in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?». Kilian lebt in Charlottesville, Virginia.Produktion: Jacky WechslerTrumps Wahlkampfoffensive:Elon Musk öffnet wieder den Geldhahn für Trumps RepublikanerTrump verspricht jedem US-Bürger 5000 Dollar – die Kosten wären astronomisch«Soll ich sie zur Hölle schicken?»: Trump droht vor der UNO mit der Vernichtung IransMit dieser Rede bereitet Trump einen Angriff auf Wahlen in den USA vor Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Welcome back to the Chornaya Zona. In Episode 3.02, we execute a surgical strike on the administrative rot surrounding the GosDura 2026 elections. The Russian state is currently operating on pure vranyo: running a 20% payday-loan debt spiral while pretending to maintain a 2% deficit, and manually rationing civilian fuel while police generals steal multi-billion-dollar French retail empires.We break down the terminal hypocrisy of the Russian elite starting with the Metshin brothers hiding their wealth in NATO real estate to Umar Kremlev funding Donald Trump Jr.'s Bahamian island parties. Finally, we look at the absolute absurdity of the occupied territories, where the state conducts "secret" early voting for residents whose houses no longer exist. The system doesn't need ballot boxes anymore; it simply hallucinates democracy.Become our patron:https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderMerch store + another option for memberships:https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe:https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lvDownload all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well!http://theeasternborder.lv/Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Autumn Harvest Campaign!https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/autumn-harvest-2026-the-eastern-borderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

If you've been in the development game for more than five minutes, you know the scenario. You find a parcel. You spend eighteen months and hundreds of thousands of dollars on environmental studies, traffic impact analyses, civil engineering, and public hearings. You work tirelessly with the city planning staff, you follow the local comprehensive plan to the letter, and finally—finally—the city council approves your Planned Unit Development, or PUD.You pop the champagne. You start pulling permits.And then, two weeks later, you get the notice. A group of local activists who don't want seeing new construction near their backyards have organized a petition drive. They've gathered enough signatures to trigger a public referendum to overturn your project's zoning approval on the next municipal ballot.Suddenly, your multi-million-dollar project, your capital stack, and your entire timeline are held hostage by a local popularity contest.Here's what happened. A project involved a site-specific Planned Unit Development in Telluride, Colorado. The land was designated for a specific site plan, including an element aimed at addressing local workforce housing—a major need in mountain resort communities.When the local authority moved forward with approving the site-specific modifications to the PUD agreement, opponents organized a petition drive. They sought to use direct democracy—a citizen referendum—to amend or repeal the PUD agreement directly on the ballot.The case went all the way to the state Supreme Court. And the Court came back with a decisive, unanimous answer: No. You cannot use a ballot initiative or public referendum to overturn an administrative land-use approval.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

A Calgary byelection upset has shaken up Alberta politics, with a 10-question referendum looming. Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid joins host Dave Breakenridge to examine what the result says about voter sentiment, the referendum and what it could mean for Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP this fall. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Piddington is sticking it to the Labour government, voting overwhelmingly to leave the UK; 285 of 312 voted to leave. Although this will not trigger any formal departure from the country, it represents the strength of feeling about the incoming migrants that Piddington would like to see the back of. Many say this is what Piddington gets for voting Liberal Democrat, with residents emphasising that not every local voted for the Party and that the safety of women is paramount. Talk Breakfast's Jeremy Kyle discussed the vote outcome, and more, with: Former deputy speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans, Piddington resident Sandra Innes, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, commentator and the Mail on Sunday's Dan Hodges, shadow chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart, Talk reporter Charlie Rowley, and chair of the Piddington Parish Council in Oxfordshire Tim McNally.

FORGET PIDDINGTON! UK NEEDS REFERENDUM ON THE IMMIGRATION INVASION! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #ImmigrationReferendum #Piddington #PatrickChristys #GBNews #IllegalImmigration #SmallBoats Forget holding one local referendum in Piddington—the entire British nation deserves a vote! For decades, Westminster politicians have imposed mass immigration upon Britain without ever giving the British people a direct national vote. We were never properly consulted, yet our communities are expected to live with the consequences. The violence exposed in Patrick Christys' disturbing GB News report from France should serve as a massive warning. Why are we allowing thousands of people to cross the Channel before their identities, histories and right to enter Britain have been properly established? Now an anonymous Home Office whistleblower has told The Times that, in his experience, only one in every 100 asylum claims is genuinely true. That is an explosive allegation from somebody who worked inside the system. If the Government disputes it, ministers should publish the evidence and prove him wrong! Britain is already facing rising community tensions and serious concerns about rape, sexual attacks and violent crime. Nobody is claiming that every migrant is a criminal—but when crimes are committed by people who should never have been allowed to remain here, the British public has every right to demand answers. The first duty of government is to protect British citizens. Instead, our politicians appear determined to protect a failed asylum system. Enough tinkering. Enough excuses. Enough moving migrants from one hotel, camp or community to another. Britain needs a national referendum and one clear policy: DETER illegal entry. DETAIN arrivals whose identities and entitlement to enter cannot be verified. DEPORT those with no legal right to remain.

Send us Fan MailRhode Island Primary Results: An Affordability Referendum, Not Just an Anti-Incumbent WaveBill Bartholomew breaks down Rhode Island's primary results and argues the night was driven by one central issue: affordability. He connects the outcomes in the governor's race, Providence mayor's race, and local council contests to a broader rejection of leaders who seemed disconnected from the lived reality of rising housing costs, broken communication, and political inauthenticity.He also looks at how the Democratic Party has shifted, why progressives and anti-establishment candidates surged, and what the results may mean for the general election and the next generation of Rhode Island leadership.Key topicsThe night's three big takeaways: bad night for incumbents, great night for progressives, and a statewide referendum on the affordability crisisWhy Bill sees Helena Foulkes' win over Dan McKee as the culmination of a long political and messaging collapse around the Washington BridgeHow McKee's handling of the bridge crisis became a symbol of a broader disconnect between state government and everyday Rhode IslandersWhy Providence mayor Brett Smiley and other incumbents were overwhelmed by voters who wanted immediate action on rent and housingThe role of rent stabilization in Providence as a vehicle for much bigger frustration about housing costs, gaslighting, and feeling unheardHow local, hyper-specific issues like grocery store covenants, ward races, and neighborhood frustration added up into a bigger anti-incumbent shiftThe collapse of establishment-backed and Trojan horse conservative efforts in Democratic primaries, which Bill says failed because they lacked authenticityWhy Sabina Matos survived the lieutenant governor primary and how local issue work, like grocery access, may have matteredThe implications of the primary for the Republican side, including Ken Block, John Laughlin, and Victor MellerThe larger structural change in Rhode Island politics, from the old machine to a new, unsettled power landscapeTimestamps00:00 - The bottom line on Rhode Island primary night 00:59 - Why Bill waited to process the results before reacting 01:28 - Helena Foulkes' long runway back into politics 02:26 - The Washington Bridge as the defining issue for McKee 03:51 - Why this was a deliberate shift, not an accident 04:49 - Providence turnout and the impact of mobilized voting 05:45 - Affordability as the state's defining crisis 06:37 - Why the governor's race became impossible to win without a clearer strategy 08:12 - The communication failures that hurt McKee 09:36 - What the Republican field may or may not become 10:28 - Why Providence turnout signaled trouble for Smiley 11:20 - Rent control as a symptom of a much larger housing crisis 13:02 - Local council losses and the punishment of anti-rent vote behavior 14:19 - Why the conservative primary strategy collapsed 15:29 - Feeling gaslit about housing, education, energy, and infrastructure 16:35 - “Get small” and the rise of local organizing 17:21 - Kim Ahern's win and the role of coalition strength 18:11 - The lieutenant governor race and why Sabina Matos survived 20:02 - Why John Laughlin may make the LG race more competitive, but not simple 21:32 - Grocery store covenants and hyperlocal issue politics 22:47 - The Morales victory party and the sense of collective rejection 23:57 - Why the Providence rent fight became a referendum on being heard 24:41 - What should have happened between the city and mayor's office 25:47 - Why the ordinance details mattered less than the feeling of exclusion 27:45 - Why the “socialism” framing misses the actual story 29:03 - Rhode Island's old political machine and what replaced it 30:37 - Victor Meller's dominant showing in CD2 32:07 - Age, leadership, and who actually runs the world now 33:34 - Why voters rejected fake, prepackaged politics 35:13 - The election as a populist correction to out-of-touch leadership 36:21 - Rent increases, housing pressure, and the lack of real debate 37:42 - What losing candidates should reflect on now 39:28 - Coalition shifts across races 40:02 - The post-machine political universe in Rhode Island 41:06 - Why this was also a generational referendum Support the showFollow Bill on Instagram and YouTube

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke revisit Uber (NYSE: UBER), one of the largest holdings in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio, fifteen months after they first pitched it. In that time, Uber's operating profits have roughly doubled, free cash flow has climbed to about $10 billion a year, gross bookings are compounding around 20% annually, and the board authorized a new $20 billion buyback. And yet the stock is flat, with its multiple of operating profits cut from 55 times down to roughly 22 times. Shawn and Daniel discuss why the market is pricing Uber as though autonomy ends the story — Waymo raising $16 billion at a $126 billion valuation, roughly the same market cap as all of Uber, and formally ending its exclusive partnerships in Austin and Atlanta. They dig into the more than 20 AV partners Uber has lined up in response, from Nuro and Lucid to Rivian, NVIDIA, Zoox, WeRide, Baidu, and Pony.ai, plus Uber's $14.8 billion offer for Delivery Hero, the margin inflection driven by advertising, insurance normalization, and Uber One — and whether the market is writing down the entire company for a risk that touches maybe a tenth of its profits. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:44) Why Uber's stock is flat while its operating profits have doubled (00:03:53) How Uber's operating margins swung 55 percentage points in under six years (00:05:12) Why advertising, Uber One, and insurance reform keep pushing margins higher (00:24:09) What Waymo ending its exclusive deals in Austin and Atlanta really means (00:36:22) How much of Uber's profits are genuinely exposed to robotaxis (00:41:28) Why Uber is racing to sign more than 20 autonomous vehicle partners (00:49:07) What Uber's $14.8 billion offer for Delivery Hero actually buys it (00:57:14) Why Shawn and Daniel are happy to keep owning Uber Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Episode 5639: Lies From The Elite On Data Centers; Referendum On Big Tech
Wie immer beginnen wir mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Wir starten mit dem EU-Vorschlag, bei außenpolitischen Beschlüssen von der Einstimmigkeit zur qualifizierten Mehrheit überzugehen. Elf EU-Länder argumentieren, dass die blockierenden Vetos die EU-Außenpolitik in den letzten Jahren wiederholt behindert haben. Anschließend sprechen wir über die Ergebnisse eines wichtigen Referendums in Island. Die Isländer haben sich gegen eine Wiederaufnahme von EU-Beitrittsgesprächen entschieden. Ist dies eine pauschale Abkehr von Europa oder eher eine Befürwortung des Status quo? In unserem Wissenschaftsteil werden wir über eine bahnbrechende Gentherapie-Studie sprechen, deren Ziel es ist, den Cholesterinspiegel zu senken. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des heutigen Programms mit einer Erinnerung an die japanische Avantgarde-Künstlerin Yayoi Kusama, deren ikonische Punktemuster, phallische Skulpturen und verspiegelte Infinity Rooms die Welt in ihren Bann gezogen haben. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf False Cognates — Part 3. Es gibt viele Gesetze in Deutschland. Die meisten gelten für lebende Menschen, doch auch für Tote gibt es Regeln. Zum Beispiel muss man auf einem Friedhof bestattet werden, wobei damit nicht nur ein herkömmlicher Friedhof mit Grabsteinen gemeint ist. Möchten Sie wissen, was passiert, wenn ein Bäcker in Deutschland ein halbes Brot verkauft, das 10 Gramm weniger wiegt als angegeben? Wir sprechen über die Geschichte eines Bäckers in Bayern und eine Brotfehde. Hatten die Behörden oder der Bäcker hier Tomaten auf den Augen? Genau das ist auch die Redewendung diese Woche: Tomaten auf den Augen haben. EU: Forderung nach Abschaffung der Einstimmigkeitsregel bei außenpolitischen Beschlüssen Island stimmt gegen die Wiederaufnahme der Beitrittsverhandlungen mit der Europäischen Union Kann Gentherapie „schlechtes" Cholesterin dauerhaft senken? Yayoi Kusama: Avantgarde-Künstlerin und Pop-Ikone mit 97 Jahren gestorben Bestattungsregeln in Deutschland Deutsche Regulierungswut: Ein Bäcker gegen 10 Gramm
