France: grim choices on 24 April

The second round on 24 April 2022 of the French presidential election will, as in 2017, be a run-off between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. The first round was Macron 28%, Le Pen 23%, both scores slightly up on 2017 (24%, 21%). In 2017 Macron won the second round easily (66%-34%), but pollling this time shows the contest is much tighter.

Lauded and loathed: Why the French still can't get enough of Napoleon — 200 years after his death

Lauded and loathed: Why the French still can't get enough of Napoleon â 200 years after his death
For many in France, Napoleon Bonaparte is the epitome of French achievement, having conquered much of Europe and remade the structures of his country. But it's a complicated legacy for the sharp-tongued emperor against whom most modern French presidents are still measured 200 years after his death.

Almost every modern French president is measured against emperor who died in exile on May 5, 1821

Emmanuel Macron, l'ENA, and the old weird France

Paul Wells: Macron is closing the school known for churning out presidents, prime ministers and top public servants. What's behind this assault on what made him?

We haven’t updated you on French President Emmanuel Macron in a while. It’s not going great. The next presidential election is a year away and polls suggest Macron could lose to Marine Le Pen, leader of the populist Ralliement National, the successor to her father Jean-Marie Le Pen’s Front National. The older Le Pen made it to the second round of presidential elections in 2002, the younger in 2017. Each time respectable opinion told French voters they must vote against Le Pen to save the Republic; both times voters did as they were told. The second time the result was Macron’s presidency. He can’t be sure it will work again. He’d become France’s third consecutive one-term president. His successor would open a can of worms. A belated sequel to Trump and Brexit.

Kidnapping, Murder, Unrest: Quebec's 1970 October Crisis Explained

Kidnapping, Murder, Unrest: Quebec's 1970 October Crisis Explained
By Marina Manoukian/March 16, 2021 1:46 am EDT
In the 1960s, members of the Québécois separatist movement started a bombing campaign against the Canadian government. In 1970, this standoff escalated to a hostage situation. Overnight, people in Québec found themselves essentially living under martial law.
The October Crisis gripped the nation as a British diplomat and Québec's Minister of Labour and Immigration were kidnapped and held by the Front de libération du Québec. In response, soldiers and tanks rolled through the streets of Montreal while helicopters flew overhead.
Thousands of homes were raided by the authorities and hundreds were arrested, but these actions did little to impede the crisis. Despite being called the October Crisis, the hostage situation lasted until November, and it wasn't until the end of December that most of the kidnappers were apprehended. And in the end, although all of the perpetrators of the hostage crisis were eventually captured, only one of the hostages ended up making it out alive. Kidnapping, murder, unrest: this is Quebec's 1970 October Crisis explained.
