In a New York Times interview Dec. 6, 1921, Thomas Edison advocated financing the proposed Muscles Shoals Dam by issuing currency instead of debt (bonds.)

There may be a 'deal', with Mueller backing off of Trump, and Trump's people agreeing to not 'go nuclear' with the file that could send Robert Mueller to prison.

The protesters were demanding that the likely next Speaker of the House create a Select Committee with a mandate to d
Last week’s absurd statement from the White House was supposed to resolve any lingering questions about Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by the Saudi government. Instead, the statement only made clear that Donald Trump will do nothing to hold Saudi Arabia or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) accountable—for his role in the Khashoggi murder or his destructive war in Yemen.

Northern Reflections

On Thursday, the Ford Government released its environment plan -- the one they claimed would be "better" than the previous Liberal government's plan. Martin Regg Cohn writes : The premier’s climate-change strategy is certainly a change in direction: It scales back Ontario’s obligation to curb carbon pollution by more than 25 per cent — 30 megatonnes — at the very time reductions are most needed.
Caroline Mulroney's dream is dead. Bob Hepburn writes : The dream harboured by the Ontario attorney general when she first entered elected politics in the summer of 2017 was that one day she would become premier of Ontario and eventually move on to become Canada’s first elected woman prime minister. But, after being elected, it fell to Mulroney to defend Doug Ford's decisions -- the latest being
Amanda Simard -- the sole Francphone in Doug Ford's caucus -- has left Ford Nation. It should come as no surprise. During the election campaign, Marin Regg Cohn writes , Ford told Julie-Anne Lamoureau, Radio-Canada's Queens Park correspondent: “It’d be important to be able to communicate with part of our country that speaks French — I love Quebec, I love Quebecers,” But there are 622,000 Franco-O
What passes for White Supremacy these days, Keith Kahn Harris writes , is actually something quite different. It's really white degeneracy. That degeneracy is painfully obvious in the contrast between Barack Obama and Donald Trump: Consider the contrast between Barack Obama and Trump. Obama is not a perfect human being, nor was he a perfect US president. But it’s impossible to deny his qualities.
GM is pulling out of Oshawa. And Doug Ford has rolled over. Martin Regg Cohn writes : No premier can force GM to cry uncle. But for reasons understood only by Ford, he has given up on the Oshawa decision, deferring to GM’s claim that it is final and irrevocable. GM is not rolling up its Oshawa operations because it’s bankrupt — the company still earns billions in profits. No, this multinational i
Chris Hedges writes that neoliberalism has always been an absurd idea: Neoliberalism as economic theory was always an absurdity.
