(0329) Going to try for more sleep after Fri 6, planning to run Alberta, DAD, Steve and Moosh after that but I can see that being around 0730 again, hopefully … (0813) That’s a very long second sleep for me … maybe a post later on health and attitude. I am awaiting two pieces of good private news from out there … one is odds-on to be good, the other is hope against hope. (0826) Steve’s is coming up as Fri 9, after the Isilme feature. (0831)
8. DAD at 1278
a) Gabriel Attal aims to change the name of his party again, like thugs on the run regularly changing squats to try to erase their misdeeds: after “En marche”, “La République en marche”, “Renaissance”, “Ensemble”, the choice would be “New Republic”.
b) French parliamentarians continue to battle over the bill to legalise euthanasia. Although, following an unexpected rebellion, senators managed to amend the bill in a way that was openly pro-life, the final vote in the upper house overturned all their work by rejecting all the amendments proposed by the Right.
c) EU Fails to hold Pakistan accountable; again. The latest EU monitoring mission flagged 13 critical concerns over Pakistan’s compliance with conditions for its preferential trade status.
d) Truely “Francais de Souch” = French, rooted like a tree stump; Native French.
The Suiffet family has lived in the town of Val-Cenis (73) for over 700 years! Everyone has a job focused on the mountains: guide, carpenter, breeder, ski instructor, souvenir sellers…
7. One side of the Alberta Independence thing
… is hopeful, big rallies of ordinary people, resentful of Ottawa … the other says no way, pie in the sky, it’s oft been mooted in the past. Adding to the first view are Carney, state of Ontario and Quebec, plus Donny’s view on 51st state.
Most pundits don’t see the 51st state, although US support, tradewise, is a major factor. And if Canada marches on Alberta? 🍿🍿🍿🍿

6. Why run internal Oz politics?
Firstly, because Pauline Hanson is seen as a potential threat, secondly because it’s Sky News Oz, the GB News of Oz.

The text just says One Nation Australia is doing well. The Sky News man asked her about being the main rival of the Nationals.
All right, break this down. The ALP are Labor, trad vote nearing 40%. Second are the Liberals, the so-called conservatives, trad vote around 35%. The Nationals, once the Country Party, meaning the landed gentry in farming, were trad 10%. Liberals, as govt, were always in coalition with the Nationals. There’ve been UK LibDem type “third” parties from time time.
Nats seem down at 2% just now … all three parties are seen by more and more as Uniparty or else irrelevant. However, Australian normies are probably even thicker and prevented from having a fair press even more than UK normies.
I’m not up to speed on Oz politics any more than Canadian or Euro nations’ but there are some lovely ladies in each of those places feeding du jour (daily) items and so I’m partially au fait for that reason.
