Corporate Fraud AlterLinks Topic Index Bennett Jones LLP Media Profile in Sources Resource Type: Organization Connexions Digest Issue 53 - January 1991- A Social Change Sourcebook Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 1991 Corporate money preventing all-out campaign to stop global warming Resource Type: Article Published: 2013 Highly-regarded former Toronto Mayor David Miller says he is "very excited" about becoming the new President and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund-Canada in September. But there are questions about whether the WWF is effective in its work and, moreover, why the WWF and other members of the global environmental movement have made such little progress combatting the most serious threat to earth - climate change. GMOs, Global Agribusiness and the Destruction of Choice Resource Type: Article Published: 2018 One of the myths perpetuated by the pro-GMO (genetically modified organisms) lobby is that critics of GMOs in agriculture are denying choice to farmers and have an ideological agenda. The narrative is that farmers should have access to a range of tools and technologies, including GM crops. But GM agriculture is not 'feeding the world', nor has it been designed to do so. The choice for farmers between a technology based on broken promises and conventional non-GMO agriculture is no choice at all. Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP Media Profile in Sources Resource Type: Organization Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - April 9, 2016 Corporate Crime Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 2016 Corporations have increasingly become legally unaccountable for their behaviour. Yet all too often corporations break the law and engage in criminals acts which would be severely punished if they were committed by ordinary individuals. These illegal acts range from deliberate health and safety violations that cost lives, to land seizures, to environmental negligence that contaminates lands and waters. Most of these illegal acts are never prosecuted, and those that are, are usually dealt with by a fine that corporations can treat as a cost of doing business. There are movements demanding that corporations be held accountable for their crimes in a serious way, and, specifically, that corporate executives should face jail time when the corporation they are in charge of engage in behaviour that causes death, injury, and illness. Our topic of the week for this issue of Other Voices is Corporate Crime, and a number articles, as well as a book, a film, and a website, explore aspects of the problem.

VW, GM and Takata: the Case for Jailing Corporate Executives Resource Type: Article Published: 2016 Making the case that executives at VW, Takata and General Motors should be jailed for corporate crime. The crimes committed by the corporations they head are extremely serious, and have caused and will cause hundreds of deaths. Why are the perpetrators allowed to get off simply by writing a cheque to cover the fine, instead of going to jail the way other criminals do? We're Being Cheated! Corporate and Welfare Fraud: The Hidden Story Resource Type: Article Published: 1997 We've allowed our corporate dominated media and politicians to sell us a bill of goods that welfare fraud is a big problem. Meanwhile, corporations continue on their robber baron path, virtually untouched by enforcement of our social rights. Why Not Jail for Corporate Criminals?
