"This rightward drift is most noticeable in Carney’s redirection of public funds from social programs towards military contracts, and his welcoming approach to #BigOil. But it’s also evident in an extraordinary measure that #Carney seems to be trying to sneak into law. The measure — hidden deep inside the mammoth omnibus Bill C-15 currently before Parliament — would give cabinet ministers sweeping powers to allow corporations to escape government regulations." https://rabble.ca/columnists/while-resisting-trump-carney-is-giving-corporations-a-free-hand/ #cdnpoli

As Congress ponders Federal EV & hybrid car fees, they need to hear from folks to make sure the fees aren't punitive (vis-à-vis gas taxes in comparably sized vehicles). Fortunately, @cclusa.org has a

...and I do think those on the R side of the aisle would make EV ownership taxes punitive. They subsidize #OilyBoys, #BigOil, #truck_pickup & #SUV culture

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin | Oil and gas companies | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/13/tony-blair-oil-lobbying-fossil-fuel-industry-renewables-energy-bills "The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) received money from the Saudi government, has advised the United Arab Emirates petrostate, and counts as a main donor Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, friend of Trump and advocate of AI." #BigOil #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #TonyBlair #SaudiArabia

Morning, all, Celia Florez, Venezuela's dictator Maduro's wife, was also kidnapped by U.S. armed forces. Why? Is she, in the view of that notorious misogynist President Donald Tantrump, merely Maduro's chattel? As #FLOTUS, Melania Trump should be worried; when the U.S. military finally rises against #DOTUS Don Trumpeone, will she also be arrested and join him in the dock? #USpol #UNpol #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #BigOil #TyrantTrump https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/live-updates-venezuela-nicolas-maduro-new-york-court-appearance/

Denmark recognises the threat; why not UK PM Starmer? But Greenland has no oil, some say... But it does have minerals, especially Trump's famous "raw earths." #BBCWorldService: 80% of Venezuelans live in poverty, as Maduro et al profited from oil at their expense; so it's naive of ordinary Venezuelans to ask Don Trumpeone to run their country instead - if so, only US oligarchs will profit thereby. #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #NATOdemise #UNdemise #USpol #EUpol #UKpol #BigOil https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g0zg974v1o
