From the Ground Up Ep. 321: blocking lies, introducing bias, cautious applause | 2024.07.03
Ep. 321
•
This is a longer episode than usual because two programmes got together - first a recording of Don Kossick's CFCR programme, Making the Links, then further commentary from Mark for From the Ground Up.
- The federal government has just passed legislation which makes greenwashing illegal, and the greenwashing arm of the oil industry has in consequence taken all content off its website
- The Saskatchewan provincial government is set to disregard (probably illegally) the federal Clean Electricity Regulations, and the tribunal they set up to resist federal legislation they don't like has produced a report based on biassed assumptions and dubious criteria
- A new windfarm to be built near Weyburn will have significant involvement by an Indigenous consortium. But do media reports overstate its significance?
