Poilievre creates a laughable fiscal plan, while also taking aim at environmental regulations. "Conservative's platform misleadingly includes tens of billions of dollars in expected government revenue from removing Liberal government environmental policies." #election #environment #regulations #canada thestar.com/politics/federal-e

AushaFortress Europe vs. Corporations: Tackling Enshittification and Decay Capitalism through Regulations and Strategic Protectionism | Ausha This week, Ecu Radio takes a step back from the currently flooded news cycle and dive within the concept of Enshittification. This well-documented phenomenon happens when digital platforms inevitably worsen as they prioritise squeezing users, sellers, and workers for profit. But that’s just a symptom. It’s part of a global ailment we’ll call Decay Capitalism: a shareholder-driven race to the bottom where siphoning value matters more than creating it. A system where quality, ethics, and meaning are systematically sacrificed for speed, scale and above all, greed. It took the world by storm, and Europe isn’t unaffected, as corporations call for the dismantling of its protective acts, if not of the Union itself. Yet it resists. Through regulations, through consumers’ rights, through stringent health and safety standards, and through a foundational, democratic respect for its citizens. The #BuyEuropean trend might just be what strengthens its immune system. Thank you for listening! 📻 _ All content is © Ecu Radio, created by Axel Thizon. All rights reserved.

I touched on this the other day here.

#Europeans have high #standards and #regulations to match. #US producers have low standards because of weak regulations.

That's why we put a toll on - among other things - the #meat from the US, because just importing it directly would mean making our regulations useless and would lower our standard of living substantially.
