In April, the #Trump admin ordered a halt to work at #EmpireWind, a $5B #WindFarm off the coast of #LongIsland that was already under construction, without publicly providing a justification. After a month of negotiations with #NY Gov #KathyHochul, the admin let Empire Wind move forward, but admin ofcls suggested that they had done so only after Hochul agreed to approve new #gas #pipelines in the state. Hochul has denied that any such deal was made.

"Carney’s Liberal government has ticked one item after another off the #corporate lobby group’s to-do list: scrapping the #carbontax (which the Business Council previously supported as a necessary price to pay for #pipelines) and the #capitalgains tax hike; fast-tracking resource extraction projects and weakening #FirstNations’ rights and #environmental regulations; and massively expanding military spending while announcing the deepest spending cuts in a generation." https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/under-mark-carney-capitals-leading-lobby-group-is-back-in-the-drivers-seat

While few Canadians know its name, the Council is advancing a pro-corporate agenda focused on resource extraction, military spending, and closer US ties, while sidelining public services, First Nations, and democratic accountability.

Europe learned to love American gas. This is how Trump wrecks it.

Backroom deals, embassy contacts and brown liquor built a booming export trade. Now, the lobbyist who saw it all says the U.S. president’s dalliances with Vladimir Putin are an incoming “asteroid” for the industry.
