Breitbart- Trump to Sign Order Ensuring Truckers Speak English
“President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,” the document notes.
Who would have thought that a warmer climate could create more frequent spring frosts? It’s not as if you can expect fewer frosts in a cooler climate. But maybe that’s just my bourgeois logic at fault. If you find that people aren’t buying that argument anyway, you can always just blame Trump.
Traditionally, the plants’ buds break out in spring, emerging with colorful grapes that range from the cabernet franc’s deep blues to the soft greens of the region’s most popular grape, riesling. However, a warming world is making that happen earlier, adding to uncertainty and potential risks for farmers. If a frost comes after the buds have broken, growers can lose much of the harvest.
Political tensions, such as tariffs amid President Donald Trump’s trade wars and the administration’s rollback of environmental policies, are also looming problems.
Western Standard- About 1,000 chickens could be killed as Alberta farmer battles egg ‘cartel’

Spiked- Sweden’s elder rape scandal
When UNT interviewed Elsa last September, she used the pseudonym, ‘Vera’, because she was so frightened of what people would think of her. But her courage proved to be a wake-up call for Uppsala and, in many ways, for Sweden as a whole. Within days, more elderly ladies started to come forward to allege that they, too, had been abused by their carers.

Globe and Mail- Measles is spreading quickly in Canada. Where is the public-health response?
Ontario’s total reached 1,020 measles cases last week, almost 100 more than the previous week. Alberta reported 137 cases, up from 105. That seems to be the sum total of the public-health response: counting new cases.
Telegraph- Niagara Falls ‘at breaking point’ after surge in migrants
The lobby of the Wyndham Garden Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls at 8am is busy with chatter in all manner of languages. The chatter is not from tourists heading out to admire the mist-covered waterfalls, however, but from children who are living at the hotel after arriving from Africa with parents seeking asylum. Minutes later they are gone, climbing into two yellow buses to take them to school. The scene plays out in 11 nearby hotels each morning.
At 12:35 pm today local time, the lights went out across Spain and Portugal, and parts of France.
