Shell exits Nigeria, leaving behind trail of environmental degradation

2 weeks ago | canadiandimension.com | Judi Rever

I’ll never forget seeing the vast, charcoal wasteland left from a devastating oil spill in the village of Ebubu, in the heart of Ogoniland in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. The oil from a pipeline belonging to the Anglo Dutch oil group Shell had burst three decades before my visit, destroying the community’s streams and aquatic life. The contamination had not been cleaned up in 1999 and I could not fathom how locals could survive in an environment covered in tar.
Move fast and break kings

Trump’s tariffs demand a response, but retaliatory tariffs have severe drawbacks. Canadians have inflation fatigue and while they are rightly furious at the president’s talk of annexation, their patience for higher prices on imported goods will surely wear thin.
America’s surprising annual threat assessment

2 weeks ago | canadiandimension.com | Ted Snider

The White House isn’t telling us what the intelligence community is telling them. The Trump administration has threatened to use “economic force” on Canada through the implementation of massive tariffs. The United States and Canada have a free trade agreement. But the US can suspend that agreement if necessary for national security concerns. In order to impose tariffs on Canada, President Donald Trump has invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Media research in Canada leaves much to be desired

2 weeks ago | canadiandimension.com | Marc Edge

The recent revelation that data offered up by a Toronto Metropolitan University research centre had for years systematically inflated the number of newspaper closures in Canada points up the weakness in Canadian media research. It’s a problem that academics have noted for decades and something I have been harping on for more than 20 years.
Canada’s support for LNG is support for Trump’s new form of fossil-fuelled fascism

American so-called “natural gas” (the mixture of hydrocarbons made up mostly of methane) production began to explode under President Barack Obama and has continued to increase under every president since. Liquified natural gas exports, which involve an energy intensive liquefaction process that enables the gas to be shipped, kicked off around 2016 and have also climbed steadily upwards every year.
The Hub is getting increasingly desperate to boost the flagging Cons

3 weeks ago | canadiandimension.com | Marc Edge

Pity the poor Hub. Mere weeks ago, it appeared that the Conservative Party it cheers on so ardently would cruise to victory in the coming federal election. Canadians had tired of Justin Trudeau after nine years as prime minister and new Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre had rocketed up the polls by promising to defund the CBC and cancel the subsidies our news media have been collecting for the past five years.
New report shows ‘news deprivation’ rampant across Canada

1 month ago | canadiandimension.com | Marc Edge

It may take decades to dig ourselves out from under the mountain of misinformation, disinformation and plain old BS offered up by Canada’s newspaper industry and its enablers in pursuit of the hundreds of millions in federal bailout money, tax credits and forced subsidies it has pocketed in the past few years. If we can ever spot the truth through so much propaganda, that is.
As a response to Trump, Canada must decouple from US military

1 month ago | canadiandimension.com | Yves Engler

Amidst Donald Trump’s belligerence Canada continues to assist the US military and arms industry. In response to the president’s hostility, Canada should cancel the Lockheed Martin F-35 contract, end officer exchanges, and cease our participation in NORAD’s missile defence program. Recently, outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Trump wants to sabotage Canada’s economy in a bid to annex this country.
Can Trump’s Ukraine peace plan succeed?

1 month ago | canadiandimension.com | Paul Robinson

“Yes, but,” might be the best way of summarizing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s response to the joint US-Ukrainian proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine that emerged from talks between American and Ukrainian delegates in Jeddah earlier this week. “We are for it, but there are nuances,” he told reporters. Any ceasefire should be permanent, not temporary, and should address the root causes of the war. Besides which, there were unanswered questions, said Putin.
Public sector pensions and the private to public pivot

1 month ago | canadiandimension.com | Tom Fraser

The following is an excerpt from Invested in Crisis: Public Sector Pensions Against the Future by researcher Tom Fraser. Fraser traces the rise of the province’s mega-pension-funds by melding history, geography, and political economy to situate this growth in the context of Ontario’s deindustrialization, the rise of finance, and the global politics of the built environment.
