Paris) was an influential French publicist and reformist, one of the first modern European writers to propose an international organization for maintaining peace Because of the political offense given by his Discours sur la polysynodie (1719; A Discourse of the Danger of Governing by One Minister) he argued that Louis XIV should not be named “the Great,” Saint-Pierre was dismissed from the French

6,000 But when US President Donald Trump slammed the steepest tariffs in the world on it during his so-called "Liberation Day" last week the world's attention turned to the eight-island archipelago the Trump administration claimed Saint Pierre and Miquelon imposed 99% tariffs on the US Trump's team took this supposed figure and slashed it in half to reach the "reciprocal" tariff rate of 50% — as a result for a moment faced the highest tariff rates in the world “It was a bit surprising to find ourselves public enemy number one all of a sudden especially given that we are a small territory which has been suffering from inflation“ Overseas and Territories party in the National Assembly The territory grappled with the prospect of extortionate tariffs before Trump U-turned on his rate days later Many remained puzzled about how Trump reached the 50% tariff rate given that the US Census Bureau archives state that trade with Saint Pierre and Miquelon has been minimal for the past thirty years "US figures don't include all products from Saint Pierre and Miquelon which enter the American market through Canada This means we have virtually no direct contact with the US apart from the occasional fishery," said Lenormand as Trump's calculation methods were based solely on 2024 figures in what was an exceptional year for Saint Pierre and Miquelon in terms of sales the country received an unprecedentedly large order for halibut fish which led to exports to the US reaching €3,08 million ($2.84 million) The Trump administration calculated its tariffs using a simple formula: it divided Washington's trade deficit with a country by its exports to the US stating that it considers a country's trade imbalance but does not represent actual tariffs imposed on the US President of the Territorial Council of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon said that the territory will still "be keeping a close eye on the responses of the European Union and Canada Just when islanders thought the headlines had subsided the French nation's eyes turned to them again days later French National Assembly deputy Laurent Wauquiez argued that foreign nationals under an obligation to leave French territory should be given two options: either be locked up in Saint Pierre and Miquelon or sent back to their home countries Wauquiez said he would block any individuals who wished to return to France from the archipelago Wauquiez's interview with French newspaper JDNews sparked backlash across the country's political spectrum France's Minister for Overseas Territories Manuel Valls reacted swiftly stating "no internal campaign should lead a politician .. to hold a territory of the (French) Republic in contempt." Apologies don't seem to be an option for Wauquiez who hopes to be elected as the next president of France's conservative Les Républicains party in upcoming elections The controversial politician invited his followers to join a Zoom call on Thursday to discuss his proposal politician Bernard Briand encouraged locals to dial in Wauquiez acknowledged that local politicians and residents were not happy about his measure but he stated that "people across France who live next to detention centres aren't thrilled about it either." "Mr Wauquiez could have mentioned an uninhabited French overseas territory he had to show such contempt for the local population of Saint Pierre and Miquelon," Briand told Euronews "I've had a lot of feedback from residents who are outraged that our region is being used as a dumping ground for the problems of the rest of France." he'll have snow on his head all year round' Wauquiez said living conditions in Saint Pierre and Miquelon which is situated off the coast of Canada and experiences harsh winters "The average temperature is 5 degrees during the year I think that's going to get everyone thinking pretty quickly," he explained the MP representing the isles Lenormand asked: "How could people facing an obligation to leave French territory be sent to Saint Pierre and Miquelon "Our territory has one of the smallest prisons in France so it would be impossible for us to host hundreds of prisoners," he pointed out Lenormand remains hopeful that something positive could arise from recent chaos which has surrounded the island "I am optimistic and want to believe that the focus given to us by Trump and Wauquiez in the space of a week could bring us new businesses and new residents including some of the diaspora we're trying to bring back," he concluded “I didn’t know why I would ever come there—was it a pizza place But it always felt like a restaurant that was for the North Loop neighborhood not a restaurant that I would drive in to visit and the sorta-full Snack Bar just wasn’t getting it done 1 restaurant I hear that people miss post-COVID is Burch Steak Pierre’s steak and dumpling restaurant in Lowry Hill It made all the sense in the world to try to relaunch some of the spirit of Burch—enter St Pierre’s menu highlights seafood—which frankly there’s a major opportunity in our town for that but since Sea Change evaporated there aren’t many good options We loved the black cod in crazy water ($24),a beautifully cooked piece of cod in an intensely flavored I had it last night and I’m still craving it The menu does keep some Snack Bar classics like the fried eggplant with rosemary honey ($18) and the pressed game hen with salsa verde ($28) And many of the Burch dumplings have made a reappearance like the Schupfnudeln stuffed with gorgonzola ($19) and fried semolina dumpling with Parmesan ($15) We tried a couple starters and both were show-stoppers The foie gras toast with escargot ($18) was incredible on a beautiful thick piece of toasted bread topped with four lovely little snails The mushroom confit with artichokes and Taleggio ($18) gave an almost pasta effect—beautiful flavor and textures The Niman Ranch steak program is reminiscent of Burch with a 7- or 14-ounce Hanger serving ($30 or $60) as well as more traditional 8-ounce bavette ($35) up to a 6 ounce filet ($75.) Keeping it more simple than the Burch menu which had grass-fed and corn-finished… this is just part of the overall menu I think it still hits the mark on being accessible luxury—it’s not cheap The cocktail program also offers one of my absolute favorite experiences: There’s a choose-your-own-adventure gin and tonic I loved the Born to be Spicy ($15) with a fresno-infused tequila and fabulous as you’d expect—I think this is a nice upgrade and reboot to Snack Bar It scratches the itch of the fond memories of the Burch stans St. Pierre Steak & Seafood, 800 N.Washington Ave., Minneapolis, closed Sunday/Monday, stpierrerestaurant.com UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre is arguably one of the greatest fighters of all time after a legendary career inside the Octagon. But his success likely wouldn’t’ve produced the same results without his star-studded team at Tristar Gym, led by top-tier coach Firas Zahabi Zahabi is known for his unorthodox training methods and slew of top talent he’s helped grow inside the gym, including his younger brother Aiemann, who returns at UFC 315 later this month against Jose Aldo not all of his techniques have been learned and perfected solely inside the gym’s walls Actor Keanu Reeves is one of the most successful action stars to hit the big screen after memorable performances in ‘The Matrix’ and the ‘John Wick’ movie franchise His movies are known to include high-octane drama and action and he’s trained in some martial arts during his film career to pull off his own stunts one of Reeves’s on-screen techniques came from Tristar During a recent upload to the Tristar Gym YouTube channel I used to rush people punching and kicking and then whenever they would grab a hold of me it appears Zahabi’s claims aren’t from a hostile side and Reeves hasn’t responded to Zahabi’s remarks Reeves has attended several high-profile UFC events including multiple International Fight Week cards in Las Vegas As Zahabi prepares his brother and other gym members for their upcoming fights, St-Pierre remains sidelined from combat sports, and a fighting return is unlikely. But St-Pierre keeps a keen eye on what’s happening in MMA, including the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall saga Since Jones defended the UFC heavyweight title in November, discussions of a potential super fight with Aspinall haven’t slowed down.

The NYPD responded to a 911 call at the 34th Street-Herald Square station at around 11:35 a.m the NYPD Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information (DCPI) told Newsweek Responding officers learned that a 25-year-old female gave birth on a northbound W train Passengers told the conductor to stop the train and called 911 Another passenger used a pocket knife to cut the umbilical cord Saint Pierre had been missing since August 5 she was last seen by her ex-boyfriend at Gulfstream Park A law enforcement official identified Saint Pierre as the woman who gave birth on a W train, according to New York Times confirmed the mother's identity to the outlet after seeing a video of the birth on social media Stephania previously told CBS Miami that she had not heard from her sister in weeks "Something's not right," she told the outlet Stephania said Jenny's ex-boyfriend told her that he had gotten into an argument with Jenny prior to her disappearance "He told me that they had an argument — a disagreement — and then she was angry and she left," she said in a statement to WABC: "This is another example of New Yorkers coming together to help each other assisted by caring transit workers and other responders reflecting the best of the subway community and this city We are thrilled that both mother and Baby W are doing well and look forward to welcoming both of them back aboard for a lifetime of reliable—and hopefully less dramatic—rides."

That’s how I learned about Saint Pierre et Miquelon and when I saw the title for the CBC TV show Saint-Pierre I imagine a good number of folks will do a similar double-take as well Joséphine Jobert and Allan Hawco keep a tiny French territory safe from crime in Saint-Pierre The story: disgraced Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny Fitzpatrick is remanded to the island of Saint Pierre via a police transfer for arresting the premier of Newfoundland the matter is further complicated by the fact that the premier is in a romantic relationship with Fitz’s wife Fitz has to contend with culture shock and a new police force Fitz is played by Allan Hawco. A supreme Canadian talent, he will always be remembered for Republic of Doyle which makes it easy for this show’s audience to accept him as Inspector Fitzpatrick It’s a natural fit and is a good example of an actor playing to his strengths there are a few noticeable differences between Fitz and Hawco’s other roles He isn’t the tough guy we usually associate him with and he’s well aware of his age as a 20-year veteran cop But he plays the role well and it’s a testament to his versatility Likewise, Joséphine Jobert is a thoroughly welcomed new face to Canadian Television As Deputy Chief Genevieve “Arch” Archembault a Parisian transplant to the tiny French colonial possession she knows when to play tough and when to be a friend Her character’s immediate resentment of Fitz’s arrival to the island starts the characters off on even footing: she doesn’t want Fitz there and neither does he The chemistry is solid and it sets the audience up for a show based on mutual antipathy The characters must work to earn each others’ respect just as they have to earn the audience’s Adding to the fun, there are also underlying storylines that get a bit of attention in each episode. Pay attention to the Irish villain, Sean Gallagher (James Purefoy) who we meet as the island’s local “godfather” This pairs wonderfully with the background stories about both Fitz and Arch that are yet to be uncovered The island of Saint-Pierre takes centre stage as a character in its own right The island isn’t really known to the majority of Canadians Though it’s just off the coast and to the south of Newfoundland it’s a part of the Canadian diaspora nonetheless on Newfoundland culture and even the way French is pronounced the background looks more like a quaint village in the French countryside than an Atlantic coastal town they all speak English and many of the goods and sundries come from their Canadian neighbours Each episode is like a visit to the island Saint-Pierre is an entertaining 50-minute cop drama set in a novel location that’s engaging and a fine example of a solid Canadian television production It’s a fun and engaging series that has the potential to do well with a homegrown audience it’ll probably do better overseas than it does at home but remember: this isn’t a Canadian series CLICK HERE to see Bonnie Laufer’s video interview with Saint-Pierre star

Few men are better equipped to offer advice about fighting at the Bell Center than the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Some of the best nights in the incredible career of ‘Rush’ came inside the iconic venue including UFC 83 where St-Pierre avenged his shocking loss to Matt Serra Despite St-Pierre leaving the door open for a comeback, he won’t be competing on May 10 but he will be trying to help Aiemann Zahabi secure the biggest win of his career against fellow legend Jose Aldo St-Pierre has given Zahabi some interesting advice of which the Canadian-born contender has since revealed In a recent exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Aiemann Zahabi spoke about the advice that Georges St-Pierre had for him ahead of UFC 315 who has won five in a row to earn the #14-ranking at 135-pounds has previously earned high praise from his Tristar teammate after putting together the best run of his career at 37-years-old He revealed in the interview that one of the first things he did after being offered the fight was to call St-Pierre who immediately passed on some words of wisdom ‘GSP’ was able to use his own experiences of coming up against a high-profile opponent and the mistakes that he made so that Zahabi can avoid falling down the same pitfalls Zahabi said: “I wanted to be the first one to tell him about Aldo so I called him up right away as soon as we said yes and he told me that he’s only human The biggest mistake I can do is to put him on a pedestal and that he bleeds he’s like you but that doesn’t mean he’s not beatable “I think the first time GSP fought Matt Hughes he put Matt Hughes on a pedestal and he was basically explaining to me to not do that with this opportunity Just to go in there and fight him like I would fight.” it would be impossible for a competitor like Aiemann Zahabi to have not a tremendous amount of respect for Jose Aldo after everything the Brazilian legend has accomplished It’s so impossible to avoid showering the former UFC featherweight champion with praise that even the Canadian fighter’s own supporters have fallen victim to it Zahabi laughed as he told Bloody Elbow that when he announced the news even his own inner circle made sure to have Aldo’s back he has such a fan base than even like friends of mine or like acquaintances ‘listen we want you to win but don’t hurt him too bad’ “The guy is coming to rip

of the word - but if he was expecting a quite life he can think again There's an assassin and a decapitation in just the first three episodes There are a few familiar tropes (including the powerful

Saint Pierre which is set on the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.DERM CARBERRY/CBC Saint-Pierre and Miquelon has long been on my bucket list an archipelago an hour-and-a-half ferry ride away from Fortune is an odd little remnant of New France in the Gulf of St Lawrence I don’t expect I’m going to make it there any time soon – so I’ve been eager to travel there through the new CBC cop show Saint Pierre since seeing the first moody promo shots The spot seemed a promising setting for an original having a built-in history of skulduggery such as smuggling during prohibition and Nazi collaboration during the Second World War a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary inspector assigned to work with the Saint Pierre police.DERM CARBERRY/CBC is a generic and goofy procedural put in front of a unique backdrop it rarely glances over its shoulder at There’s some enticingly European establishing drone shots of brightly coloured buildings lining narrow streets – but everything is familiar and the particularities of place and culture are treated as obstacles to avoid Saint Pierre stars a couple of telegenic veterans of island-investigation shows that had a little more vim and vigour a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary inspector reassigned to work with the Saint Pierre police for extremely convoluted reasons previously played a PI with panache on Republic of Doyle plays Saint Pierre’s deputy police chief Arch – a Parisian transplant whose middle initial and last name The French actress was previously a detective sergeant on seven seasons of Death in Paradise a crime dramedy set on a fictional British outpost with French colonial history so she certainly knows the overseas territory But it’ll be hard for viewers of Saint Pierre – which was created by Hawco and sees Hawco and Lord-Stafford share the role of showrunner – to get over the hump of the poorly structured first episode After an unnecessary flash-forward to Fitz bleeding on a gurney the reasons for his exile are outlined in a brief It has something to do with him arresting the premier of Newfoundland who’s dating his ex-wife and living with his kids Fitz’s actual arrival in Saint Pierre is consumed by a bit about him suffering from seasickness – and dialogue focusing on the eye-rolling reasons why everyone on the French island will be speaking English with varying degrees of decipherability almost all the time Saint Pierre’s creators seem concerned that viewers will tune out not just if there’s too many subtitles but if there’s not a case of the week right away So Fitz doesn’t even get a tour of his new police HQ before a cult leader and local crime kingpin get into a fight in the centre of it and Fitz and Arch – who you’ll be surprised to learn are initially at odds with one another – are investigating the form of Saint Pierre comes into focus in the second episode: an outlandish crime of the week cliché banter and a little chipping away at an overarching plot involving Saint Pierre’s big baddie played by a British actor whose face you’ll eventually place putting on an Irish accent French actress Josephine Jobert plays Saint Pierre’s deputy police chief Arch a Parisian transplant to the island territory.DERM CARBERRY/CBC There will be assassins whose perspectives we see through cheesy crosshairs and sequences expensively underscored by Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy (despite the song now being more associated with cartoon animals than the “mature subject matter” CBC warns about here Episodes will end with the police team – a diverse bunch of actors filling out two-dimensional roles – having a pint of beer or a shot of tequila at the pub but Saint Pierre lacks the true sense of fun that you found on Hawco Productions’ previous big CBC venture but its unwasted setting and joie de vivre made it an enjoyable romp up-for-it Jobert seems to be having a good time on Saint Pierre Hawco shows little spirit and at times looks like he’s going to nod off in the middle of a scene This is partly about the character he’s playing: Fitz is a middle-aged man who has lost his wife and kids and is lonely in exile Hawco also seems to want to remain a hot-stuff lead rather than lean into his journey toward his Slow Horses years A sleepwalking subplot means he wanders around in his underwear at least once an episode and there’s a recurring bit where a twentysomething female police officer openly ogles him saying things such as: “Il est trop chaud.” Hawco could absolutely anchor a detective drama with some real darkness as anyone whose seen his work on stage can attest But his new procedural makes Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent look like prestige TV Report an editorial error Report a technical issue Editorial code of conduct

and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors What he achieved during his time at the top is hard to match and though people have dreamed of seeing GSP return against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov for many years Another total guarantee for any greatest of all time list is the UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones who has been the subject of criticism for some time Fans have made it clear that they want to see Jones step inside the Octagon with Tom Aspinall to unify the heavyweight titles in what would be the biggest fight of the year the fight that many believe will truly test ‘Bones’ at this weight class feels like it could be one of the few big UFC matchups that fail to materialize In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Georges St-Pierre shared his thoughts on the fight that is top of most wish lists for 2025 Jon Jones has made it very clear that he isn’t overly interested in the matchup so if the UFC wants him to unify the belts This certainly isn’t an unreasonable approach considering the risk versus reward in taking this fight instead of riding off into the sunset without being beaten inside the Octagon St-Pierre is on the same page as many fans in that whilst he believes that ‘Bones’ is the greatest of all time, the younger and hungrier Tom Aspinall is still a legitimate threat which is what makes the matchup so exciting The interim champion certainly has more to gain but seeing the best to ever do it take on the new face of the heavyweight division creates a lot of interesting narratives St-Pierre says that the fight taking place will come down to where Jones’ motivation is at and whether the UFC will match his asking price for one of the biggest heavyweight clashes in the history of the sport Jon Jones is probably the best fighter that ever lived,” he said “If I have to choose someone in his prime that I put in the coliseum nobody beats time and Tom Aspinall is on a hell of a run so it’s to see how they’re gonna match I would really like to see this fight but I think Tom is very hungry and it’s up to Jon to see if he still wants to do this and if the UFC can compensate him good because I think he deserves it so it’s going to be a hell of a fight.” When listing off his favorite fighters to watch on the current UFC roster Georges St-Pierre named the likes of Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall because he likes to learn from the best Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria also fell into that bracket with their potential matchup being another fight that could define the UFC calendar in 2025 Topuria is sticking to his guns by stating that he’s happy to wait for his title shot whilst it’s still up in the air as to whether Makhachev will move up to welterweight in the coming months St-Pierre is fascinated by the clash of styles as arguably the top two active fighters in the sport today cross paths with gold on the line Bud Light is giving Canadians a chance to raise a gold one with the launch of its UFC Gold Edition can which is infused with Gold from Georges St-Pierre’s UFC championship belt Allan Hawco’s Republic of Doyle entertained viewers on CBC The fast-paced detective drama was set in and around St John’s and spotlit the unique island community through the eyes of Jake Doyle and his co-workers Now Hawco is back and spotlighting another island community Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe—boasts the humour heart and unique environs that are Hawco’s bread and butter At the centre of the series is its two lead characters Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Hawco) finds himself banished to Saint-Pierre et Miquelon—the French territory of 6,000 nestled in the Atlantic Ocean—after digging too deeply into illegal activity surrounding a local politician (played by Eric Johnson) who happens to be married to Fitz’s ex-wife (Vanessa Matsui) Fitz is partnered with Deputy Chief Genevieve “Arch” Archambault (Joséphine Jobert) There are some fish-out-of-water moments for Fitz in the first episode—he not only suffers from sea sickness (bad news when you’re working on a small island) and a fear of heights—not to mention struggling with the language barrier (luckily Fitz understands French better than he speaks it) Rounding out the main cast are Benz Antoine Jean-Michel Le Gal and James Purefoy as the big bad in Season 1 Much of Monday’s debut sets up the people and their world brightly painted wood homes dot the coast of Saint-Pierre while older stone buildings stand sentry inland Hawco revealed during a recent interview that he was on a location scout for fellow CBC/Hawco Productions project Son of a Critch when he visited the island and knew it should be the setting for his next series He had written two pilot projects and Saint-Pierre was the perfect fit for one “One [idea] was very close to what this show is the very notion of these two partners who were thrust together by fate and unwilling partners who didn’t know they needed each other until now,” he says Eagle-eyed fans of Death in Paradise will quickly identify Jobert who portrayed Detective Sergeant Florence Cassell from 2015 to 2024 on the veteran British series The chemistry Jobert has with Hawco is instantaneous and undeniable and is a huge part of why Saint-Pierre works so well “She’s my favourite type of person and actor,” Hawco says She’s also totally flexible to go with anything in the moment She’s practical about what the technical requirements of the job are while keeping a fluidity and an absolute freshness and spontaneity to her work LBV Magazine English Edition Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) a French archipelago of two islands located in North America about twenty-five kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland is the last remaining vestige of the former Viceroyalty of New France (which encompassed parts of what are now Canada and the United States it became a headache for the Allies when World War II broke out and the French mainland was occupied by the Germans as the local administration remained loyal to the Vichy government This is why De Gaulle ordered its conquest at the end of 1941 The Portuguese navigator João Álvares Fagundes discovered the archipelago around 1520 the Frenchman Jacques Cartier renamed it Saint Pierre Island in honor of the patron saint of fishermen Those waters proved to be extraordinarily rich and attracted numerous cod and whaling ships especially Basque-French ones from Saint-Jean-de-Luz who named the second island Miquelon (Mikeleune) which has been known by various names throughout history and is now connected to the latter by a sand isthmus The wealth of these fishing grounds attracted the British who expelled the French for half a century after the Treaty of Utrecht until the Treaty of Paris restored the archipelago in exchange for the surrender of mainland New France History repeated itself decades later during the American Revolution (which involved French collaboration) and the islands changed hands several times until they finally remained French during Napoleon’s era as interest in the archipelago had waned due to the decline in fishing the so-called Second Armistice of Compiègne was signed whereby Nazi Germany and the French Third Republic ended hostilities leaving France divided into two parts: one in the north and west (including the Atlantic coast) occupied and directly administered by the Germans and another in the south governed by a new regime loyal to Hitler which was granted control of non-European territories Saint Pierre and Miquelon were placed under the latter The local authority was represented by the current Administrateur supported by Admiral Georges Robert as High Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief of the Western Atlantic (which It should be noted that some of these territories rejected the terms of the armistice on the grounds that it had been signed under duress the administrator kept Saint Pierre and Miquelon loyal to the regime led by Marshal Pétain since July 1940 which concerned both Canada and the United States because the islands housed a radio station and were connected to Europe via transatlantic cables creating the possibility of providing German submarines with weather conditions in addition to supplying fish to Germany through France such as the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador which in turn recommended discussing it first with Canada The Canadian War Cabinet dismissed the idea as it conflicted with the traditional Monroe Doctrine despite also distrusting what Administrator De Bournat might do under Vichy orders Admiral Georges Robert signed a personal agreement with Admiral John W regulating U.S.-French West Indies relations based on maintaining the status quo in the region Although it was an informal personal pact not officially signed there was a confirmation negotiated by Robert with another admiral Saint Pierre and Miquelon were too close to the strategically significant mouth of the Saint Lawrence River for Canadians to accept such a vague arrangement could afford it because it remained neutral at the time as it had the status of a free member of the British Commonwealth of Nations following the 1926 Balfour Declaration and the 1931 Statute of Westminster and it declared war on Germany on September 10 the Canadian government initially chose not to intervene in the French archipelago out of respect for its American neighbor the actions of the Kriegsmarine reached its waters the Permanent Joint Board on Defense Canada-United States under the Ogdensburg Agreement (signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King for mutual defense) defined the position of Saint Pierre and Miquelon as a potential danger Roosevelt continued to oppose intervention as he mistrusted the annexationist ambitions that Canada had always expressed regarding Saint Pierre and Miquelon—an argument also used by Vichy appointed by De Gaulle as head of the FNFL (Forces Navales Françaises Libres) and provisional commander of the air force sentenced to death in absentia by the Vichy regime asserted that the archipelago’s radio station was collaborating with German U-boats This made it necessary to take action in some form Canadian Secretary of State Norman Robertson informed U.S Ambassador Moffat that infiltrated agents on the archipelago would need to monitor all messages sent and received to stay prepared the United States remained opposed to interventionism and expressed disapproval of a plan to occupy the islands by parachute; Mackenzie King had to order its cancellation Admiral Muselier persisted and proposed a landing The proposal was raised on December 12 during a meeting in Halifax with representatives of the Canadian and U.S The latter insisted on rejecting any such proposal but Muselier had orders from De Gaulle to proceed with the invasion which is why the admiral had traveled in command of a small fleet comprising the submarine Surcouf and the corvettes Mimosa Although Muselier preferred to act with consensus and try to convince the Americans had an ace up their sleeve: Winston Churchill’s unofficial consent the French flotilla departed from the port of Halifax on what was announced as a mere training mission Rear Admiral of the Royal Canadian Navy and its theoretical superior It arrived at Saint Pierre at three in the morning on the 24th landing its 230 armed sailors; in twenty minutes they took control of the island without firing a single shot as the only resistance they faced was a handful of gendarmes Georges de Bournat was deposed and arrested; Admiral Robert was not as he had long since aligned with Free France (in 1947 partially exonerated him of the charge of collaborationism arguing that his loyalty to Vichy had been merely formal with favorable testimony from the Americans) a referendum was organized among the island’s population in which an overwhelming majority (over 98%) voted to join Free France as well Ensign Alain Savary, who would later become a socialist and anti-colonialist politician and serve as Minister of National Education in 1981, was placed in charge of the local government. Captain Roger Birot, a hero of Dunkirk and commander of the First Corvette Division was left in provisional command of the archipelago’s navy one of the first overseas French territories to join Free France against Vichy and the Nazi regime Everything had ended happily for the Allies although the United States did not hide its displeasure over an operation carried out without its permission Secretary of State Cordell Hull made a public statement on December 25 that was clearly critical: The action undertaken by three so-called Free French ships at Saint Pierre and Miquelon was an arbitrary act contrary to the agreement of all interested parties the violation of the Monroe Doctrine was once again invoked and the invasion was even compared to the aggressions carried out by the Germans and Japanese—something that surprised Churchill who considered it disproportionate to the modest scale of the episode having declared war on Japan on December 8 and on Germany on December 11 Roosevelt could never entirely dispel his mistrust of De Gaulle in the years to come This article was first published on our Spanish Edition on December 20, 2024: La invasión de San Pedro y Miquelón en 1941, el único territorio leal a la Alemania nazi en Norteamérica, duró 20 minutos Martin F.

beginning at 9:00 am until the funeral service at 11:00 am with a burial to follow at Cheramie Cemetery in Galliano What Georges St-Pierre accomplished in his career is nothing short of remarkable with his achievements standing the test of time long after he hung up the gloves His welterweight title reign, where St-Pierre lost and regained the belt following a shock upset is the stuff of legend having recorded nine consecutive defenses from 2008 to 2013 ‘Rush’ even returned to the Octagon in 2017 after a four-year hiatus where he won the middleweight belt at UFC 217 though Michael Bisping would eventually get some revenge of his own over St-Pierre Health issues and injuries have kept the 43-year-old away from one final outing but that doesn’t mean that he is drawing a line under this for good Georges St-Pierre was preparing for a return to competition that would have seen him lock horns with one of his greatest rivals one more time The former welterweight and middleweight champion announced during International Fight Week ahead of UFC 290 that he’d be competing at the UFC Fight Pass Invitational on December 14th with Nick Diaz later being named as his planned opponent injuries to both Diaz and St-Pierre prevented the grappling match from taking place with the Quebec native requiring shoulder surgery it became clear that the matchup wasn’t going to be rescheduled but in a recent exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow ‘Rush’ stated that something along these lines could bring him back out of retirement St-Pierre claims that whilst his days of stepping inside the Octagon are firmly behind him he’d be more than happy to compete in grappling under the right circumstances I mean I would never fight again in mixed martial arts “I still like to compete but for different reasons After returning to the Octagon at UFC 217 where he submitted Michael Bisping to win the middleweight title Georges St-Pierre vacated the belt just over a month later His official retirement came in 2019 with the former champion later going into more detail about why his comeback was cut extremely short St-Pierre developed ulcerative colitis after forcing his body to put on weight for his middleweight return which forced him to take some time away to try and heal his body he gave a promising update about his health now that 2017 is far behind in the rear-view mirror I was on heavy medication and everything with the stress I decided to retire and now I feel better than ever I found ways that I no longer have any symptoms and I’m healthy.” To celebrate UFC 315 on May 10, Bud Light is giving Canadians a chance to raise a gold one with the launch of its UFC Gold Edition can, which is infused with Gold from Georges St-Pierre’s UFC championship belt Georges St-Pierre experienced plenty of highs during his legendary career in the UFC Octagon St-Pierre bounced back from both by tearing through the UFC’s welterweight division on the road to several title reigns Fast forward to the UFC’s modern era, and the UFC’s biggest heavyweight fight remains in limbo as Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall continue to negotiate a potential showdown later this year Aspinall has held the interim heavyweight belt for almost two full years without a booked shot at the undisputed championship against Jones or another top heavyweight As Aspinall’s frustration regarding Jones’s hiatus continues St-Pierre recommends a unique approach to the growing heavyweight division uncertainty During a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show St-Pierre was asked how he’d move forward as Aspinall waits for a Jones fight booking he needs to focus on the next task,” St-Pierre said of Aspinall I was making the mistake of thinking about Matt Serra and trying to get my rematch immediately But I had multiple fights before that…and if he’s only focusing on Jon Jones It’s a distraction…the things that need to be done will be done I’d love to see this fight,” St-Pierre continued “Because in terms of legacy and accomplishment And I understand Tom’s point of view that he’s a proud fighter and he wants to be the best but now it’s all dependent on what Jon wants to do if he still wants to do this and if he’s compensated fairly…it all plays [a role] “So Tom shouldn’t focus on [Jon] because it’s outside of his control and he’s wasting a lot of energy focusing on that but he needs to self-hypnotize himself to focus on the next thing and be hungry about the next task.” After meeting with UFC CBO Hunter Campbell last month, Aspinall expressed supreme optimism regarding his Octagon return. Jones hasn’t fought since finishing Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in November Aspinall defended the interim belt last July against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304, finishing Blaydes in the first round. He remains unbeaten in his UFC tenure with recent knockouts of Sergei Pavlovich, Marcin Tybura, and Serghei Spivac UFC CEO Dana White remains ‘super confident’ that the Jones vs. Aspinall fight will come to fruition later this year He called recent rumors that the fight was off the table ‘b—–‘ and insisted that the matchup remains at the top of the UFC’s wish list In light of St-Pierre’s comments about Aspinall, the interim titleholder acknowledged that the wait for Jones might be a blessing in disguise Aspinall shared he’s dealt with several health issues in recent months as he waits for his Octagon return booking One of Jones’s former rivals encouraged him to ‘walk away’ from the Aspinall fight and retire. Vitor Belfort nearly handed Jones a loss during the height of the latter’s UFC light heavyweight title reign Aspinall is unlikely for the UFC’s International Fight Week event it could potentially take place late-summer or early Fall the wait continues for one of the biggest fights in UFC history Pierre Conquers First Round of 1500m in 2024 Paris Olympics8/6/2024 5:46:00 AM | General You will also start receiving the Star's free morning newsletter Actors Allan Hawco and Josephine Jobert are shown in a scene from the television show “Saint-Pierre.” THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Derm Carberry **MANDATORY CREDIT** TORONTO - After CBC’s “Republic of Doyle” wrapped in 2014 Allan Hawco spent years searching for the next show to create had several ideas but couldn’t land on a concept that resonated with him Plus the return of “Severance,” “Yellowjackets” and “Wolf Hall,” a menopause comedy and Jon Hamm “There were things I was developing and I was interested in… but you knew in the back of your mind it wasn’t really right,” says the Newfoundland native during an interview in Toronto He knew he wanted to make another procedural because it’s a genre he feels at home in as a writer “It just feels very familiar and within the confines of what that structure requires There’s so much freedom of expression.” But he didn’t want to rehash old ideas “I wanted it to be fresh and I wanted it to speak to me.” It wasn’t until Hawco scouted Saint Pierre and Miquelon for an episode of CBC comedy “Son of a Critch,” which he executive produces “I had forgotten what the magic of Saint Pierre was,” says Hawco of the French archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean near Newfoundland where he filmed his first leading role in the 2004 drama “Making Love in St “It’s kind of a cousin to Newfoundland — it’s its own place It truly is one of the most unique and special places I’ve ever been The day that we landed there for that scout The visit planted the seed for “Saint-Pierre,” Hawco’s new CBC police procedural The drama stars Hawco as Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick a Newfoundland cop whose relentless investigation into a corrupt politician gets him reassigned to Saint Pierre and Miquelon he’s thrown into an uneasy alliance with Deputy Chief Genevieve “Arch” Archambault a Parisian transplant played by French actor Joséphine Jobert they uncover the crimes hidden beneath the islands’ picturesque exterior (dealing) with things we see every day — but Saint Pierre there’s nothing like it,” says Jobert who also played a detective in the BBC crime dramedy “Death in Paradise.” Hawco says besides Saint Pierre’s idyllic environs he and co-creators Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe were drawn to the way the islands act as a link between North America and Europe And although in reality the crime rate on the islands is low his creative mind turned it into an ideal setup for international criminals “If you were able to have a hold of some kind of international network if you were able to be a part of corruption — there are so many safeguards in the real-life Saint Pierre to not allow that to happen what would it be like if those safeguards weren’t there?” he says “If the local police force could be corrupt if there was a person who could be the big bad in town and actually be able to use international shipping routes and flights to be able to smuggle and do bad things?” Hawco says “Saint-Pierre” has a darker tone and higher-stakes crimes than “Republic of Doyle,” which often leaned into comedy I’m not playing some roguish guy with a car chasing bad guys I think I would feel quite foolish if that was something I was presenting for myself right now unless that in itself was the joke,” he explains And he’s lived quite a full life that he’s having to deal with from a character perspective.” was produced by Hawco Productions in association with U.S Hawco and Jobert say there hasn’t been a show of this scale filmed in Saint Pierre before “I liked the fact that they didn’t change the way they were living just for us,” says Jobert noting how local coffee shops kept their regular hours even with an 80-person crew working nearby in the early morning with some even offering their homes to crew members due to a lack of available hotel rooms “People moved out and rented us their homes,” he says “Saint-Pierre” premieres Monday This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue -

the small African nation of Lesotho and the French autonomous territory of Saint Pierre et Miquelon, which both now have a 50 percent tariff placed on all exports to the US It's not quite as funny as the tariff placed on the Heard and McDonald islands - inhabited exclusively by penguins - but it's still an unusual choice As you could be forgiven for having never heard of Saint Pierre et Miquelon The territory consists of two islands around 12km off Canada's Atlantic coast Their total area is roughly 25 square kilometres and just under 6,000 people live there The official language of the islands is French France has a variety of overseas territories stretching from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean like the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Gaudeloupe are 'overseas départements' which are officially part of France and have the same status as mainland areas like Dordogne or Brittany Others have a looser relationship with Paris Saint Pierre et Miquelon is a "collectivité d'outre-mer" - these are French territories but they have their own local government structure and can pass their own laws - apart from on certain subjects such as defence which is reserved to the government in Paris It has the same status as French Polynesia the Pacific islands of Wallis and Fortuna and the Caribbean islands of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy Why does France own two tiny islands off Canada France's slightly bizarre collection of overseas territories are all the result of historical colonial enterprise or empire-building Confetti of an empire: France's overseas territories explained The French initially colonised parts of what is now Canada - which is why some parts remain French-speaking - and Saint Pierre et Miquelon is one of the last remnants of French colonial presence in North America The only time the guillotine was ever used in North America was in Saint-Pierre in the late 1800s A man named Joseph Néel was convicted of murder and he was executed in 1889 The islands had a big moment in international trade when Prohibition was in force in the USA - as a French territory they were not affected by the law and smuggling became a huge business with an estimated 300,000 crates of alcohol passing through the islands and into the USA it's been downhill in international trade terms and the principle modern industries are fishing and tourism - although around one third of the island's residents are French public sector employees It's not entirely clear why Trump singled them out for such a high tariff rate - unless he fell for the April Fool run by the French TV station France Info on Tuesday The joke article - known as a poisson d'avril in French - outlined a plan for France to start manufacture of César heavy guns for the French army in Saint Pierre et Miquelon that the tiny islands have nowhere near the industrial capacity for such a thing to be possible as well as it being obviously impractical to ship over materials and then ship back the guns Please log in here to leave a comment.

it was a history I think that got tucked away until the end of her life She started another fire and then died shortly after spiritual terms in the cultural lexicon along with psychological disorders and delusion: these are all really potent parts of how people are coming to understand consciousness You’ve been growing up with this since the 1990s The reason it took me so long to write this book is that I thought People are always going to misunderstand this even if we have complicated relationships with them Beyond me feeling personally protective—and I’m sure there was literature out there which I didn’t have access to—I didn’t see containers for women and femmes in the world that allowed for the multiplicity that I experienced in my mother I thought everyone was going to misunderstand her and make it less dimensional until I could write it how it needed to be written It took me this long because I needed to become a better writer have come to fruition in the last five to ten years She was a radicalized person; she didn’t call herself that I have never seen walk the walk that my mom did every single day a radicalized independent woman who fought for what she felt was right Tanaïs is the author of In Sensorium and the critically acclaimed novel Bright Lines which was a finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize They are the recipient of residencies at MacDowell and design studio TANAÏS is based in New York City A new iteration of the steakhouse arrives soon Pierre in the Snack Bar space just after it opened There are few dead restaurants mourned as hard as Burch Steak the stylish Lowry Hill eatery that closed for the pandemic and stayed close Pierre restaurant redefined the traditional steakhouse by offering choose-your-own-adventure steak sizes and a full commitment to dumplings all while operating a great pizza bar in the basement and choosing not to embrace overly masculine motifs Snack Bar just doesn't bring in the business that we need post-Covid," Becker told me over the phone "We've tried ticketed dinners and all sorts of events but we can't get that midweek business to pick up I seem to have been the one guy to figure out a way to make fancy pizza that doesn't make money." and you know what there's a lot of around town Sea bean crab salad and some khinkali dumplings Snack Bar will evolve into St. Pierre's Steak and Seafood a more upscale spot with Burch DNA plus a bit more seafood but I think it's time she got more of the recognition She's the one who created most of the design and decor ambience in the Snack Bar space anyway so it's fitting that we name it for her." St Pierre and Becker have been married for 28 years and she is widely known in the industry as a service maven deftly running the front of house of some of the TC's most important restaurants "A lot of people tell us they miss Burch," St "so we thought that instead of just sprinkling dishes on the menus of 112 and BLG Obviously it will be on a much smaller scale though we hope that it will still feel upscale but accessible Pierre's Steak and Seafood will keep some of the Snack Bar menu favorites such as the fried eggplant But it will bring back more Burch plates such as steaks while expanding the seafood offerings to be more prominent than at Burch And because they'll need the oven space in the kitchen "We're actually forming this kitchen a little differently," Becker said I've really learned that good people want rewarding and engaging work but we're looking to add a few more good people who want to work that way." Because they aren't planning to redo the space Snack Bar will remain open as-is into March they'll close the space down for a week while they transition into St So if you want to go get one more slice of fancy pizza Editor at Large Stephanie March contributes to Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s food and dining coverage She can also be heard Saturdays on her myTalk107.1 radio show where she talks about the Twin Cities food scene Key Enterprises LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for mspmag.com for people with disabilities.

One moment the island’s brightly painted buildings splashed a pop of color against the grey Atlantic—then the whole thing vanished like a mirage into the chilly Grand Banks fog After checking the ferry schedule, I booked a room at family-owned Auberge Quatre Temps (lodging can fill up so book before the ferry!) The 188-passenger 15-car ferry departs up to eight times a week from a small town on Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula called Fortune we simply walked aboard—driving to this part of France is so new that we didn’t realize bringing a car was an option until it was too late The French and Newfoundland Labrador governments collaborated to build two sleek car ferries in order to bring tourists between the two destinations | Photo courtesy of Diane SelkirkAfter settling into the comfortable passenger cabin several co-passengers on our 90-minute trip told me they were also traveling to St and I noticed an international border just off the coast,” one woman explained “I wanted to go to France for the Olympics Despite my quick Googling, my knowledge of this last remnant of France’s once-vast North American empire was pretty limited when set out on our European-ish detour. Here’s what I did know: Thanks to quirks of geography and law (as a French territory, SPM wasn’t subject to US regulations) the archipelago was a key supplier of booze during Prohibition it transformed from a remote fishing outpost into a hub of criminal trade that has birthed bootleggers The Pointe aux Canons Lighthouse was built to defend the islands from British attacks in the late 17th century | Photo courtesy of Diane SelkirkDespite being located closer to puffins and icebergs than American speakeasies Pierre and Miquelon once bustled with businessmen As she led us through hilly streets lined with compact Peugeots and Citroëns (and a big Ford truck which stood out both for its size and novel South Carolina plates) spun a tale of how the quiet Basque fishing port once tussled over by the French and English grew to have an unlikely influence on US culture Prohibition also altered the small town’s architecture in the form of storage warehouses The French government of the time also spent millions upgrading the port—and shipped entire buildings across the Atlantic for reassembly here space for all that alcohol was still inadequate Eléa explained that companies were forced to rent people’s basements and used them to store millions of bottles of liquor and pointed out one house’s particularly sturdy-looking cellar door Afterward, we walked back down to the waterfront and to a row of brightly painted fishing sheds. That’s where we met Gérard Hélène, president of Les Zigotos a local association that’s passionate about saving the St Pierre working dory: the archipelago’s once-ubiquitous flat-bottomed wooden fishing boat is deeply committed to preserving this older part of SPM’s history he and my boat-loving husband were leaning over one of the crayon-colored hulls throwing around words like “sheer” and “rocker.” Happy to leave them to it I wandered into the club’s little museum and took in the photos and artifacts celebrating the heyday of the cod fishery The smell of salt and old wood filled the room evoking a time when these dories were essential to life on the islands my phone randomly jumped between Canadian and French carriers leaving me perpetually unsure if I was late or early The arrival of Eléa (who seemed to be the guide for everything) along with several familiar faces from the ferry Soon we were strolling across the grassy island learning about life when the church (Eglise Notre-Dame-des-Marins) and endless-seeming cod was laid out by the children to dry on the island’s expansive gravel beds We also got a glimpse of the island’s French influence when we encountered locals carrying picnic supplies of brie Eléa explained that not only is Île Aux Marins an open-air museum it’s also a popular spot for getting away from it all on a sunny day The tiny island even hosts a summer camp and soccer clinics for kids Pierre's historic downtown is easily walkable and offers a variety of restaurants | Photo courtesy of Diane SelkirkWhile most residents on SPM speak some English our high school French was handy for reading menus and for helping a fellow ferry passenger find a liquor store the same whose family booked their trip soon after she noticed the international border hadn’t realized that bringing a car to the islands was still uncommon and automatically included their vehicle when she called the SPM Ferry office for reservations (cars can’t be booked online through the website–just over the phone.) which also had an excellent selection of local pâté she told us about some of the highlights from her car-based excursions Hiking across the island on the L'Anse a Henry trail, looking back toward Sailor's Island. | Photo courtesy of Diane SelkirkCatching a lift with a local, it didn’t take long to drive out of town and reach the trailhead for L’Anse a Henry I felt transported back to Newfoundland—which I could see on the horizon where there was nothing but wind and the scent of briny sea mixed with northern plants like fragrant sweetgale and zesty Labrador tea the air filled with the sounds of seabirds as thousands of petrels and puffins took flight from nearby Grand Colombier Out in the distance I caught sight of a small boat It was easy to imagine an ancient Basque fisherman rowing his dory back from the fishing grounds or a smuggler coming for another load of rum or even a tour guide maneuvering their boat to show visitors the wildlife concealing the boat entirely and ending my reverie The next day we took the ferry back to Newfoundland I traded notes with some of the passengers we’d crossed paths again and again in the little French territory reaching the consensus we’d need to return One pointed out we could still see St Pierre’s striped lighthouse and then gasped as the fog thickened and swallowed both the lighthouse and the wondrous little island whole This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Pierre Advances to the 1500m Final in 2024 Paris Olympics8/8/2024 2:38:00 PM | General Elle St. Pierre positioned herself well from the opening meters And the Vermont native was in medal contention on the bell lap in the women's 1,500-meter final at the Paris Olympic Games But the 29-year-old from Montgomery couldn't sustain the pace in a world-class finish Pierre dropped off on the final lap and finished in eighth place out of 12 finalists on Saturday at Stade de France to close out her second appearance at the Summer Games Pierre took 10th in the 1,500 in Tokyo in 2021 More: Who is Elle St. Pierre?
