    If I was a billionaire,
    diddle, diddle, deedle dum,
    I'd shout my minions the access fee,
    have them push my favourite talking points,
    curate the pollies experience,
    if I were Australia's richest billionaire.

  2. #Duped, an AU Four Corners ABC investigation into food fraud on iView.

    Corporate capture of Australian governments federal and state exposed.

    Fish, eggs, tumeric & tomato sauces are shown to not be what they're claimed be.

    Slave labour in the global tomato growing.

    Hospitalisations due to allergens being present when the label explicitly states otherwise.

    #AgedCare too.

    "The project was approved by Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin despite an impact assessment finding the project would negatively impact #fish and #bird habitats, #water quality, #Indigenous people and #Canada's ability to meet its #climate goals."
    This is the #CarneyCons in action.

  4. "#Canada isn’t the only country asking taxpayers to subsidize this largely unproven, risky, energy-intensive and less-than-effective technology. The #UnitedStates, #UnitedKingdom and #Australia are also funnelling public money into #carboncapture projects...... It’s insane that obscenely profitable fossil fuel companies are allowed to continue putting all life at risk through unnecessary expansion of their deadly industry." davidsuzuki.org/story/clean-po

  5. Computers, the internet & now genAI have been used to create evil mass market corporation & highly destructive effects on our cultures, societies and the people in them for some +30 years.

    Governments are now taking some actions.
    (Some of which, like age verification, are completely consistent with the surveillance capitalism desires of the techbros and techgals.)
    But mandatory jail terms for senior management aren't yet in place.

  6. The future of intelligent life on earth may depend on genAI and greed interacting to reduce the human population by a factor of some 6000.

    There are other pathways forward.

    "Deepening trade and defence partnerships with the #EU. This laundry list of initiatives is impressive, yet the #Canadian Prime Minister is mum about any efforts to advance #humanrights."

  8. Today’s announcement breaks two promises that the federal and Alberta governments have repeatedly made to Canadians—that a pipeline would be privately financed, and would be contingent on oil sands companies reducing their emissions,” theenergymix.com/90-public-own

  9. "The #fossilfuel industry only wants this pipeline if it comes as a handout from our governments. But #Canadians, including #Albertans, do not want to pay for another pipeline – especially when the cost estimates range from $35 to $100 billion dollars. There are better things for our governments to do with that money." Time for all #Canadians to speak up. Lean on your MPs to rein in the banker and his #BigOil pals. environmentaldefence.ca/2026/0

  10. "The #oil industry is a fire industry. It is a #CO2 industry. it is a #climate changing industry." Yet the leadership of #Alberta and #Canada are all in on killing #ecosystems, generating more #climate #refugees, and driving more rapid #climateBreakdown. youtube.com/watch?v=IjeuEsJHwOA

  11. "Last year Carney talked of “elbows up” but his decisions around cutting the federal service, investment in #fossilfuels, and spending on the military at the expense of social programs tells a different story." rabble.ca/politics/canadian-po

  12. Message to the #CarneyCons - "Instead of cozying up to CropLife Canada, it should be guided by farmers, agricultural workers, independent researchers, health experts, and environmental organizations." canadiandimension.com/articles

  13. "An agenda that promotes a #military-industrial complex, slashes international aid, weakens #Indigenousrights, punishes #refugees and immigrants, and privatizes critical defence-related infrastructure — all while reducing #democratic accountability — is an agenda in conflict with the values of peace, justice, and human security." substack.com/home/post/p-20375

  14. @cbcnews @calgary-cbcnews For context - for 20 years Tim Hodgson worked in New York, London, Silicon Valley and Toronto with Goldman Sachs and served as CEO of Goldman Sachs Canada from 2005 to 2010. He worked with Mark Carney at Goldman Sachs and joined the Bank of Canada as special adviser to him in 2010, when Carney was governor. He was board member for Calgary-based #oilsands producer MEG Energy from 2016 to 2019. He doesn't work for #Canadians.
