This must be the prelude to CETA, ask it after Simon and Micheál to ram it through at this hour of the morning!!

This is not good news Yet I can't find anything about it so far in any of todays online editions of mainstream Irish news What's the story? And F*ck CETA #speirgorm

After 10+ years of people fighting against it, this government is pushing through this dystopian CETA legislation. Corporations can and will sue the state for interfering with their profits - for example increasing the minimum wage, against fracking bans, etc. This is incredibly undemocratic.

So a Canadian company can buy up housing & sue the Irish state if we introduce rent controls. #Speirgorm #Speirgorm

So… big news. (Keep reading.)

This, in a nutshell, is where we’re at. All the lies, the distraction, NGO-blaming and drive towards even further deregulation is to cover the naked fact that, in Ireland, big polluters pull the strings and our politicians just nod along. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

"'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All" In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again, writes James Jackson for Zeteo:
