Germany’s Baerbock pitches radical EU reform as bloc eyes expansion

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:24:25 GMT

BERLIN — The European Union needs to embark on bold reforms as it prepares to expand, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Wednesday.In comments that will cause alarm in some of the EU’s smaller member countries, Baerbock proposed the abolition of the current system which assigns each of the 27 countries a commissioner, as the EU gears up to allow new members to join the club by the end of the decade.“The European Parliament and the Commission cannot be simply allowed to grow and grow, become ever bigger,” she said at a gathering of foreign ministers and representatives from the EU and academia in Berlin. “We need to take brave, courageous decisions.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:24:25 GMT

The number of Americans applying for jobless benefits inched up last week but remains low by historical standards, even with the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes meant to cool the economy and taper lingering inflation.Unemployment claims rose by 5,000 to 217,000 for the week ending Oct. 28, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Jobless claim applications are seen as representative of the number of layoffs in a given week.The four-week moving average of claims, which quiets some of the week-to-week ups and downs, ticked up by 2,000 to 210,000.Overall, 1.82 million people were collecting unemployment benefits the week that ended Oct. 21, about 35,000 more than the previous week and the most since April.Those “continuing claims,” analyst suggest, continue to rise because many of those who are already unemployed may now be having a harder time finding new work.Still, the American labor market continues to show resiliency in the midst of the Federal Reserve’...

In today’s Big Story Podcast, Quebec’s CAQ government has spent years tightening laws around languages in the province, with a stated aim to protect French as its predominant language. Their latest attempt, doubling the tuition paid by out-of-province students attending universities in Quebec, has led to anger, condemnation and protests in the streets.Alyssia Rubertucci, a reporter with CityNews Montreal, says one of the policy’s stated aims is to change the linguistic makeup of downtown Montreal.“The language minister just says it’s a problem that tens of thousands of people arrive and leave without mastering French, and they say that it creates an anglicizing effect on the metropolis,” says Rubertucci.So why target Canadian students this way?
