Forget America First—Under Trump, It's Corporations First

Big corporations donated heavily to Trump’s inaugural fund. Just a few months later, federal cases against them are being dropped.

N.W.T. water needs greater protection, as Alberta merges major river basins, says MLA | CBC News

An N.W.T. MLA says a recent merger of Alberta's water basin and forthcoming regulations to release treated tailings water put Northern water at risk. He wants stronger action to protect the territory's waters from contaminants, and upstream decisions that affect shared waters with Alberta.

"#BillC5 is a reiteration of the #racist ideologies that created so much harm to #IndigenousPeoples and Mother Earth through land dispossession and attacks on our teachings, languages and governance." This is #Canada led by the #CarneyCons . https://davidsuzuki.org/story/regression-bill-c-5/

Regression: Bill C-5 — An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act

Many scientists have called the time we are living in the Anthropocene: human activities are now the prime factor shaping every aspect of the natural world.

That is a great Australien Gov explainer.

Looks like there is a March For Forests at 10am on Sunday 22nd March 2026 in Forrest Place, #Perth City. Organised by the #BobBrownFoundation.

Below is a look from 2023 at #WA's path to being a #CorporateCapture -d mining camp.

As much as this analysis makes sense it doesn't lessen my disappointment in the #Nunavut MP. https://rabble.ca/politics/canadian-politics/why-new-democrats-might-secretly-welcome-lori-idlouts-defection/

Why New Democrats might (secretly) welcome Lori Idlout’s defection

Lori Idlout crossing the floor all but assures that Mark Carney will secure a majority in the House of Commons, albeit a slim one.

How to deal with this sort of thing (“corporate capture”) effectively? Gardening leave (lengthy period of time out before related appointment)? Another regulator to scrutinise the regulator? 🤔

😵 🤯 Last year a #Meta Lobbyist became a new head of the #Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Today, the former head of the DPC announced that she is now working for MHC - the Irish law firm for Meta that was previously defending Meta before the #DPC in #GPDR cases - basically a 360° seat swap between the Irish regulator and Meta.

This is not just extreme #CorporateCapture of a regulator and makes #Ireland a laughing stock within the EU, but moves like this also undermine any public...

Will the #CarneyCons step up? Nope, they are all about corporatization and circumventing domestic and international law. They have already thrown the #Canada #Health Act under the bus. https://medicinehatnews.com/news/local-news/2026/03/07/health-experts-say-dual-practice-will-backfire-smith-says-theyre-wrong/
