  6. "Carney seems to be planning to sell off public infrastructure we need to help fund private infrastructure we don’t—with our money covering the risk, while investors make off with the profits." breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys-in

  7. "Everyone in #Canada deserves the same equitable access to quality public #healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay for it. We urge our federal government to fulfil their responsibility to enforce the Canada Health Act, to quash the encroachment of legislated queue jumping before it can be entrenched, and to act urgently to defend Canadians’ right to equitable, universal, single-payer public health care — before it is too late." friendsofmedicare.org/doa_twot?

  8. Watching Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5.

    They're living the corporate office-worker life in 1980.

    And have a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss.

    In 2016, thirty six years after 9 To 5, Donald Trump was elected President of the USA.

  9. Boorloo, Perth, Western Australia

    Got confidence that the WA state government will put any limits on mining companies that are not ok with said mining companies?

    Juukan Gorge rock shelters.
    46,000 years of Aboriginal history.
    Destroyed by Rio Tinto in explosions to make exportable iron ore.
    May 2020.
    All legal in WA.
    Premiers:
    Collin Barnett 2008-2017
    Mike McGowan 2017-2023
    Corporate stooges.

  10. "It is a choice not to focus on #climate policies, and the rest of us should absolutely be naming it. But when so few actual climate policy experts and champions have access to the clubs, parties, Signal chats, neighbourhood get-togethers, and group runs which form the essential habitat for our government’s decision making, we evidently do not hold much sway next to, say, #oil industry top brass or #AI bros." thewalrus.ca/mark-carney-influ

    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.

  12. #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.

  13. RE: flipboard.com/@cbcnews/politic

    "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.

  14. "#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

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

    We'll never forget a telco saying, we just on-sell the data packages the govt (#nbnCo if we remember) sell to us wholesale.

    Horray, corporate capture of #naturalMonopolies!
