When people asked to reallocate funds from Police in Hamilton in June 2020, this happened. My view, the issue of resisting changes to police budget is far more systemic than people think. They invested in fighting it. @samnabi @ReallocateW @OfAcb @570NEWS

Stephen Harper invested in prisons. Corruption, collusion and bid rigging involved Richard Bird of Enbridge. He owns Bird Construction Inc. He builds court houses, prisons, opp and RCMP detachments. https://t.co/ZA3LcypCMS
Enbridge has been fiscally donating to police for a long time.

Police and fire department as first responders have judicial power to decide when to call the MNR spills action centre when accidents happen. I know this from a spill I witnessed in the Humber River. Police and oil are too close and conflicts exist.

Ontario Police neglect to investigate recent rail disaster between CN and Canadian Pacific Railway resulting in derailment, crude oil spills, and death. CBC also found too there has been other railway crashes that have been left uninvestigated.

Conflicts exist but they don't have to if people are willing to ask for changes. We need to simply understand the current system and make our voices heard. I don't blame our local politicians. I blame the system they are captured in rooted to Provincial governance.
Many communities are experiencing the same issues. With collaboration we can share our experiences, learn from them and work to advance the reforms we need to see.

Please Review re: Coastal GasLink Pipeline @TaxJusticeNet @FairTaxCanada @GA4TJ @StopCorpAbuse @SEC_Enforcement @anticorruption @UNDPGAIN @OCCRP @ICIJorg @hrw @HRWcanada @UN_Women @UN4Indigenous @WMC_WR @NWAC_CA @NCAI1944 @AFN_Updates @lakotalaw @HonorTheEarth @antonioguterres


53 organizations representing over 2 million people, we call on the Government of Canada to immediately order EDC to align its business with Canada’s climate commitments. Coastal Gaslink Pipeline mentioned.

In Canada the pattern repeated with multiple pipelines. After approvals they flip the ownership of pipes with asset sales to negate contractual obligations re: terms of approval, insurance, liability etc. This happened to TransMountain, Coastal Gas Link, Enbridge Line 10 etc.

My email to the Prime Minister from Feb. 2020. I am still waiting for the answers.


Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is formerly the National Energy Board. I asked for proof of the insurance of Enbridge's pipelines. The CER Chair sent me data based on assets owned in 2016 most of which has been sold off since. The website give in the response held that info.

The Dutch regulator and DNB as financial supervisor are a tough cookie to deal with. In essence they hyperregulate EU-rules into goldplated Dutch rules which go beyond what is prescribed in Europe.

All NL-customers at British banks may thus be kicked out on brexit.

If we start with the capital requirements directive, it says attracting deposits is forbidden. In article 9.

https://t.co/RYl7SXligC


Now the translation of that rule into Dutch law is slightly expanded to not only prohibit attracting deposits, but to also prohibit, having those deposits under custody ('ter beschikking hebben').

That's not in EU law, but it is in our Dutch law.

https://t.co/PsbWfNY3PA


So if you wonder how this would work out for UK banks and Payment institutions servicing Dutch customers. Have a read at the technical explanation of DNB, the financial supervisor and their summarising table.

https://t.co/LL0fAnYkRJ

Passive servicing of Dutch is not allowed!


Any bank or PSP in the UK that continues to serve Dutch customers (as in retail customers, professional players are excepted) can thus be subject to fines and policing under Dutch law.

Meaning we not only have Accidental American issues in payments, but also Accidental Dutchies
