The global assault on our freedoms is coming ever closer to home. Just look at the sinister prosecution of UK lawyer Rajiv Menon

No more resistance in the US. The era of human rights is over, and dissent is once more forbidden. This is what certain billionaires and their concierges want, and this is the model they’re also seeking to project across the world. If we fail to resist, if our new prime minister is as weak and suggestible as the last one, this is what we will get. In fact, we are halfway there already.

Hundreds of thousands of young protesters assembled in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar every day to demand the resignation of the education minister and accountability from the Modi government.

DELHI—Protesters occupying the central parts of Delhi, India were triumphant on Saturday evening after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government accepted all demands raised by the movement’s leaders, including the resignation of the country’s education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Can all the people be fooled all the time? Can a country with a population of a billion-and-a-half be dragged around like a corpse forever? It cannot. The Cockroaches are out and about.

For the first time in years, it feels wonderful to be Indian. Just when hope seemed lost, they came. Young roaches riding in on the rain. The progeny of the unholy union between a judge and a joke.

Residents are protesting and calling for a moratorium on new AI data centres. And local politicians are listening.

On stage at the Russian Hall in East Vancouver Wednesday evening, an organizer of a six-week-old protest group addressed a crowd.

“So many people are responding to this,” said Alex Carson, a member of No AI Vancouver. “They understand, across the political spectrum, that this is a threat to our very humanity.”

The federal government has responded to “feedback from thousands” by postponing a series of sweeping environmental rollbacks and extending the comment period for the proposed regulatory changes from June 7 to July 22.

Heiltsuk Marilyn Slett won’t relent on the tanker ban. Which leaves Mark Carney only a problematic southern route.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has probably never heard her name, but K̓áwáziɫ Marilyn Slett, chief councillor of the Heiltsuk Tribal Council on B.C.’s Central Coast, has emerged as one of the strongest voices opposing any change to Canada’s North Coast tanker ban.

If there’s one immovable obstacle to Smith’s dream of a new northern oil pipeline and terminal, it’s Slett.

Finance minister says yes, but ATI requests show there’s no plan for how to do both — and reveal significant unpublished emissions estimates

Newfoundland and Labrador is continuing on its path of extractivism without any evidence it will be able to meet its climate targets. But the province’s finance minister isn’t worried and says his government “can do both at the same time” — working toward a just transition while expanding fossil fuel production.
