Why does Donald Trump so desperately want everyone to stop talking about the Files?

Our latest report traces explicit accounts involving 11 women who directly implicate him in Epstein’s crimes and network. So, yes, stop talking about the Files if you want to protect the President from the truth.

@tarynalgrant No offshore wind call for bids until consultation with Mi’kmaq is complete: regulator The step is being added at the eleventh hour. It’s not clear why Ottawa and the province did not ask for this sooner. #CNSOER #WindWest #nspoli #NSPC cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

Multiple lawyers, including renowned @joelbakan, confirm that the Bradford plan to commercialize water in Toronto very much opens the door to privatization: thestar.com/news/gta/city-ha…. Shrill denials from Bradford and his billionaire backers are a clear tell. #toronto #canlab

Brad Bradford made a big promise to transform Toronto’s water management. Here’s what experts say

The proposal caused a spectacle between the two leading contenders in Toronto's mayoral race. It's a lot, it's complicated and it's all in the midst of heavy campaigning during a

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web. motherjones.com/environment/…

The EPA is quietly killing its web archive

Tens of thousands of documents on contamination, clean power, and Trump's climate deletions are now scheduled to disappear.

1) Cynicism, as the saying goes, is despair in disguise. @AndreaWoo & MIKE HAGER: Mr. Eby’s early election call was also met with cynicism, seen as an opportunistic move intended to capitalize on an opposition in disarray. #bcndp #bcpoli #NDP #canlab theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

B.C. Conservatives win majority government, return to power after nearly a century

NDP Leader David Eby’s surprise election call, two years ahead of schedule, was a high-stakes gamble that backfired

Via @judyrebick on FB. @andreareimer Two explanations are already circulating: the Greens split the vote, and NDP voters stayed home. Neither holds up. #bcndp #ndp #bcpoli #bclab #canlab facebook.com/share/p/14t2Sdw…

REIMER: We expect people with power to be accountable for it. David Eby wielded an enormous amount of power over people and institutions and the people who had the power to hold him more accountable didn’t appear to have the willingness to use that power to hold him accountable.
