Conversations That Matter: Build, baby, build!
In an odd way, it's as though Prime Minister Mark Carney borrowed a card from President Donald Trump when he pushed through Bill C-5. The prime minister announced the concept of the bill on June 6 and 20 days later, it passed in the House and Senate. That's way faster than the U.S. president's passing of his 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Bill C-5 has been framed as a national plan to 'remove federal barriers to interprovincial trade and improve labour mobility.' 'Bill C-5 also sends a signal that Canada is open for business,' said Radha Curpen of McMillan LLP says. 'It is a bill designed to improve efficiencies in approval processes. The biggest question is, will it also respect indigenous rights?' Curpen joined a Conversation That Matters about the upsides and the concerns about Bill C-5.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, appears to the be first of its kind. The group says it submitted requests under the Freedom of Information Act for the records related to communications about the case in late July that have not yet been fulfilled. 'The court should intervene urgently to ensure the public has access to the information they need about this extraordinary situation,' said Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of the Democratic-aligned group, in a statement.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Democracy Forward has filed dozens of lawsuits against Trump's Republican administration, challenging a wide range of its policies and the president's executive orders. The case has been subject to heightened public focus since the Justice Department said last month it would not release additional documents from the case. The decision sparked frustration and anger among online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and elements of Trump's base who had hoped to see proof of a government cover-up. The Trump administration has sought to unseal grand jury transcripts, though that has been denied by a judge in Florida. U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg in West Palm Beach said the request to release grand jury documents from 2005 and 2007 did not meet any of the extraordinary exceptions under federal law that could make them public. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. A similar request for the work of a different grand jury is pending in New York. The House Oversight Committee has also subpoenaed the Justice Department for files on the investigation, part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to Trump and other former top officials. Since Epstein's 2019 death in a New York jail cell as he awaited trial for sex trafficking charges, conservative conspiracists have stoked theories about what information investigators gathered on Epstein and who else knew about his sexual abuse of teenage girls. Trump has denied prior knowledge of Epstein's crimes and claimed he cut off their relationship long ago, and he has repeatedly tried to move past the Justice Department's decision not to release a full accounting of the investigation. But lawmakers from both major political parties have refused to let it go. Read More Toronto Blue Jays Editorials Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Celebrity
