Oil exploration work in the Amazon began in the Sixties and during its time in Ecuador, Texaco (which was acquired by Chevron in 2001) spilled more than 17 million gallons of oil from its pipeline and dumped 18 billion gallons of toxic waste into the rainforest.

It contaminated 1,700 square miles of once-pristine forest with poisonous and carcinogenic chemicals.

The flagrant corruption and misuse of the legal system to abjectly serve corporate interests in the Donziger case illustrates the deep decay within our judiciary and democratic institutions.

Our government is giving out our money to corporations who would think nothing of having you poisoned or killed. This is Kenny and his ethical oil.

Guaranteed basic income tops policy priorities for Liberal caucus at upcoming convention | CBC News: Liberal MPs are not alone in urging a guaranteed basic income.
The 50 resolutions include numerous calls from all corners of the
country pressing the government to adopt the idea in one form or
another.

There are also multiple resolutions, including one from the caucus, calling on the government to develop enforceable national standards
for long-term care homes — and to provide provinces with the funding
needed to meet those standards. Long-term care facilities have borne the
brunt of the more than 9,000 COVID-19-related deaths in Canada.

Canada touts plan to cut fuel carbon intensity; refiners fret about costs: Ottawa
intends to release plans this autumn to reduce the carbon intensity of
liquid fuel by 12% by 2030, including by requiring refiners to blend
cleaner combustibles with fossil fuels under a Clean Fuel Standard,
government and industry officials said.

The
standard aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 million tonnes
by 2030, a critical part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s green plan.
Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said it represents a lifeline to
the economy as it struggles to regain momentum after lockdowns.

“This
is actually a huge economic opportunity to diversify the economy and
create a market for clean products,” Wilkinson told Reuters.
