“Trust Me” Legislation: Carney's Bill C-5 Could be a Disaster for the Environment
Carney’s Bill C-5 fast-tracks fossil fuel projects, bypasses environmental laws, and ignores Indigenous rights under a “green” guise.

‘Trust Me’ Legislation is the most read piece on the Network in Canadian History and Environment for July.

Knowing this question would be asked, I wrote a book about it in 2021. Basically, they have to feign ignorance to avoid accountability. If they admit they knew of the crisis all along, everyone will ask why they did nothing to stop it, and I can prove that they knew.

Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

Which is why it would be nice to know who is an actual expert in Venezuela vs the "experts" that popped up yesterday. I'd like to hear from people with deep knowledge of regional history, key players, agendas etc. Especially with the dearth of even basic reliable news on simply what's happening.

The US getting into a regime change war in Venezuela doesn’t make much sense if viewed through an authoritarian personalist frame of Trump and his administration—but it makes perfect sense if you instead look at it through the frame of Trump also being a tool of even more powerful capital interests.

Are you thinking of fictional representations or real people? There are a lot of both — “9 to 5” (Dolly movie and story that inspired it), Roseanne, Erin Brockovich, “Working Girl”, etc. There was a switch in the 21st century from this type of storytelling though. “Hunger Games” the big exception…

Trump believes New Yorkers have no choice in Cuomo becoming mayor because Cuomo is on the legal team representing Netanyahu against war crimes. They need him in the mayoral position, just like they needed Giuliani.
Netanyahu is why Trump himself lacks choices in certain aspects of his life.

Breaking News: President Trump urged New Yorkers to vote for Andrew Cuomo for mayor, writing on social media, “you really have no choice.” Zohran Mamdani has consistently led in the polls and remains the clear front-runner.

"Trump is demanding that the Justice Dept. pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him."
Rather than rely on the bribes he's solicited from foreign and U.S. businesses, Trump is going direct – trying to raid the U.S. Treasury.

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.
