Feelgood Story of the Year 2025

Bulgaria pigs out. Who will be next?

Just 11 months after taking power Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and his center-right party were forced to resign when massive peaceful protests took place in in cities across the country after reports of widespread corruption since he took power in January. Their “Don’t Feed the Pig” chant under a Giant Pink Pig balloon emblazoned with the word Resign were emblematic of the most successful expression of democratic people power since Ukraine’s Orange revolution 20 years earlier. Orange you wondering now, who will be the next country to scream “Qui_et Piggy” at their hogtroughically corrupt leaders.

Honorable Mention:

Global renewable energy sources overtake coal to become the World’s leading source of electricity.

What’s more is all of these gains are taking place in developing countries while being dragged down by Western nations (and especially now in the USA) who have blown a lot of hot air into their forever argument that it is unfair that they should have to curtail use of carbon fuels while their economic competitors in China and developing nations continue to indiscriminately burn coal.

Artful American deal maker convinces Canada to remove its self-destructive provincial trade barriers.

Based on an American President’s mistaken attempt to get in on their grift, Canadian Provinces finally open their eyes and start dismantling stupid and longstanding interprovincial trade barriers. Cananda’s Prime Minister says, “the free movement of workers, goods and services within Canada would increase the size of the country’s economy by $250 billion”.
