Former leader of the French extreme-right party "Rassemblement National (RN)", Marine Lepen was condemned this morning to 4 years in prison, and 5 years of ineligibility. I am sure she will appeal, but if this sentence holds, she will not be allowed to run for the Presidency in 2027.

Canada needs to step up. The confederated flag is still legal here.
