Public–private partnerships (P3s) have long been used as a tool for delivering complex infrastructure projects in Canada, but the landscape is changing. In this episode, Riccardo and his panel of experts explore how P3s have evolved and what that means for today's projects, funding models, and risk-sharing dynamics.In this two-part series, Emily Moore (University of Toronto), Pouya Zangeneh (University of Calgary), and Rob Pattison (Rob Pattison Consulting) bring industry, academic, and legal perspectives to the conversation. Together, they unpack how shifting risk appetites, funding structures, and partner roles are reshaping both the potential and the challenges of using P3s.From the financial nuances of availability versus revenue deals to the often-overlooked behavioural impacts of changing equity stakes, this discussion offers timely insights for anyone curious about what makes these partnerships succeed or fail.Key TakeawaysHow project decisions, such as the approach to liquidated damages, change based on whether a project is privately or publicly funded.The various dynamics and incentives in revenue deals and availability deals.How equity plays into the outcomes of P3 projects, both beneficially and detrimentally.How misaligned motivations, externally or internally, can complicate or even derail a project.The history and practice of honourariums and bid fees during project bidding.Quote“Any ​contractor ​that ​they're ​going ​to ​hire ​is completely ​independent. ​They're ​a ​third ​party. ​And ​so ​if ​to ​protect ​your ​equity ​as ​the ​owner ​and ​if ​to ​protect ​the ​business, ​you've ​got ​to ​bankrupt ​your ​contractor, ​well, ​you ​know, ​you ​won't ​have ​qualms ​about ​that. ​I ​mean, ​other ​than ​as ​a ​sort ​of ​human ​being ​walking ​around ​on ​this ​planet. ​But ​from ​a ​financial ​perspective, ​you ​won't ​have ​any ​qualms ​about ​that ​because ​your ​only ​relationship ​is ​that ​contract ​and ​you've ​got ​securities ​and ​you've ​got ​this ​and ​that ​and ​you've ​got ​the ​other ​thing. ​And ​the ​interesting ​thing ​in ​a ​P3 ​is ​if ​everybody ​in ​that ​family ​has ​their ​own ​P ​and ​L  ​and ​if ​they ​take ​it ​to ​the ​logical ​extension, ​and ​Ricardo, ​you'll ​correct ​me, ​but ​if ​you're ​a ​public ​company, every ​officer ​of ​that ​company ​who's ​got ​a ​P ​and ​L ​has ​a ​fiduciary ​duty ​to ​deliver ​for ​the ​public ​company. ​And ​well, ​my ​responsibility ​is ​my ​P ​and ​L. ​And ​if ​protecting ​my ​P ​and ​L ​means ​bankrupting ​another ​division, ​actually ​that's ​what ​I ​got ​to ​do ​unless ​the ​board ​wants ​to ​overrule ​me.” - Rob PattisonThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major ProgrammesFollow Riccardo CosentinoRead Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Emily MooreFollow Pouya ZangenehFollow Robert Pattison Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Joining Rachael Forsyth on this week's HortWeek Podcast is John Durnell from the Hampshire Wildlife Trust and Alistair Emery, founder of Land and property investment and consultancy, Kingwell.John and Alistair are collaborators on significant natural capital scheme at Keyhaven near Milford-on-Sea converting degraded arable farming land into a "high value wildlife site".Kingwell bought the farm in 2020 and is working with Hampshire Wildlife Trusts to create meadows and grassland, enriching the biodiversity as large-scale BNG habitat.The land will be transformed in five or six phases which will be offered to developers as BNG credits - "we thought was probably what the market would absorb" Alistair says.Working alongside local authorities and the Environment Agency in a form of public-private partnership HWT will provide technical support on habitat creation and ongoing management of the land over the next 20 or 30 years. As John says, "frankly if we're going to turn around the sort of fate of wildlife in the UK I think every single sector is really going to have to do its bit."Alistair talks about the benefits from a land owner's point of view and how it can benefit rural business and community as well as the environment: "Farmers are under a lot of pressure to look at how they can diversify and commercialize their farms, particularly with BPS falling away. It's looking at what are the opportunities that can keep farms going. Environmental schemes such as this are going to play a part in enabling farmers to continue."They outline the carbon sequestration benefits of soil restoration and way the "nascent" BNG credits market will interact with local construction schemes and planning departments.Alistair says: "Our planning system is broken. And it's not broken because of things like BNG. It's it's other factors that are driving that."Also in the planning system, developers are finding ways to get around BNG, finding exemptions so that they don't have to deliver it onsite or even offsite."I think things will change. It's a very new thing. It was only February last year that it became statutory and small developments in April. It takes a long time to get these schemes approved and over the line and supply."John says: "What I always find frustrating is when the Government infer that lack of supply or BNG or protection for the environment is the thing that's stopping house building. And frankly, that's risible when... if you speak to most developers, they'll admit that it's high interest rates, lack of planning officers, lack of capacity... [and] things like lack of labour. They discuss the teething troubles with BNG, issues with planning and posit options on how system might be adapted to allow the various agencies to work together more effectively, which means, John insists, public and private partnerships.They also make the case for larger schemes. Alistair says: "If you have on-site mitigation where you've got fragmented patches of areas within developments that are completely unconnected and going back to the resource problem of the local authorities, then being able to monitor and enforce to ensure that the biodiversity is actually being delivered in those areas, it just doesn't work. It will only work properly if we can do it strategically on large areas of land like what we've got in Keyhaven.John adds: "Small areas suffer from this thing called edge effect where the edges, problems come in from the edge and the edges tend to be degraded to a certain extent....mitigating at scale strategically is a really, really good model.

Common Sense Institute recently published a study titled "Highway Detours: The Ongoing Shift of Transportation Dollars." It was authored by our Transportation Fellow Ben Stein, who, in 2006 became the Budget Director for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). At CDOT he oversaw the development and execution of the annual budget for the department which then had an annual budget in excess of $1 billion and more than 3,000 employees. In October 2010, Stein was selected to become CDOT's Chief Financial Officer (Senior Executive Service). During his tenure at CDOT he also managed numerous complex financial transactions. These included private placements, the inaugural issuance of bonds by the Colorado Bridge Enterprise, the U.S 36 Public Private Partnership, and the I-70 Central Viaduct replacement project. In the report, Ben explores four issues that contribute to the state's difficulties: geography and demography, a focus on environmental impacts, inflation, and revenues and funding. Additionally, in the past, ballot initiatives have had limited success. In this episode of Common Sense Digest, Ben joins Chairman and Host Earl Wright to discuss these problems and offer a path forward that will help meet the transportation needs of state residents in a fiscally responsible way.  Thank you for listening to Common Sense Digest.

Learn from early adopters who have seen AI capabilities become notable force multipliers in our smartest cities.  Full Panel: David Shier, Managing Director, Visionary Future (Moderator)  Sheri Bachstein, CEO, The Weather Company Barbara Bickham, Founder & GP, Trailyn VC Nadia Hansen, Global Digital Transformation Executive, Salesforce Prachi Vakharia, ARPA-I: Strategic Advisor for Innovations & Infrastructure, USDOT Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive into the transformative potential of AI in developing smart cities, as discussed in a CES 2025 panel. The conversation covers aspects ranging from extreme weather prediction to citizen-centric services and the ethical implications of AI in urban governance. Key Points Discussed: The role of AI in predicting extreme weather and urban design Probabilistic forecasting and its benefits for emergency preparedness The concept of citizen-centric smart cities for enhanced public participation Challenges in data standardization and the importance of public-private partnerships Ethical considerations, including bias and privacy concerns in AI technologies Timecode Guide: 00:00:04 - Introduction to smart cities and AI 00:00:38 - Discussion about extreme weather prediction with AI 00:01:53 - Explanation of probabilistic forecasting 00:03:09 - Concept of citizen-centric smart cities 00:04:47 - Data challenges and public-private partnerships 00:08:09 - Ethics, transparency, and public education on AI 00:11:01 - Challenges with AI model sizes and limited data 00:17:40 - Privacy concerns in smart cities 00:18:45 - Ensuring AI doesn't perpetuate bias 00:20:02 - Discussion on potential job losses and new opportunities 00:21:09 - Misuse of AI by authoritarian governments 00:22:25 - Weather strategy in the era of climate change 00:25:27 - Collaboration and human-centered AI 00:27:45 - Future vision for smart cities Full Topic Guide: The Future of Smart Cities: Harnessing AI for a Better Urban Life Introduction: As we stand on the brink of an AI-driven transformation in urban living, the CES 2025 panel offers an enlightening glimpse into how next-gen technologies are being leveraged to create smarter, more resilient cities. Hosts Daniel and Barbara Bickham review these discussions, stressing the interplay of data, AI, and human insight in shaping the future. AI in Predicting Extreme Weather: One of the most compelling highlights was the role of AI in weather prediction and urban planning. As climate change leads to unpredictable weather patterns, AI provides a way to prepare for unprecedented events. AI's capacity to analyze vast amounts of climate data allows for effective "what if" scenario modeling, enabling cities to design infrastructure that can withstand extreme conditions. For example, you might reinforce a seawall today based on AI predictions of future storms. Probabilistic Forecasting: Advancements in probabilistic forecasting were another exciting point discussed. Unlike traditional methods, probabilistic forecasting uses AI to run thousands of scenarios, providing a range of potential outcomes rather than a single prediction. This not only improves weather accuracy but also aids in emergency preparedness, allowing cities to allocate resources more efficiently and preempt disasters, thereby saving lives and reducing costs. Citizen-Centric Smart Cities: The concept of making cities more user-friendly for residents drew considerable attention. Imagine all city services being available through a single app—reporting potholes, paying taxes, or even participating in local governance through blockchain-enabled voting systems. This not only simplifies interactions with municipal services but also empowers citizens by giving them a direct say in urban management. Data Challenges and Public-Private Partnerships: However, the transition to smart cities is fraught with challenges, particularly in data management. Cities gather massive amounts of data, but these are often trapped in silos, hindering a comprehensive overview. Collaboration through public-private partnerships is vital here. Government bodies possess critical data, while private enterprises offer the technological expertise to process and utilize this information effectively. Examples like the Weather Company's collaborations with NOAA and NVIDIA highlight the potential of these partnerships. Ethical and Transparency Considerations: The panel stressed the ethical implications of integrating AI into city management. Trust and transparency are crucial for citizen buy-in. There needs to be a concerted effort to educate both government officials and the public on AI. Moreover, it's important to ensure that AI systems are fair and do not perpetuate existing biases. Implementing strong ethical guidelines and having diverse teams develop these technologies can mitigate potential risks. Privacy Concerns: With vast amounts of data being collected, privacy is a significant concern. Clear rules on data collection, use, and access are necessary to prevent misuse. Enabling citizens to control their data and ensuring transparency about how it is used are steps toward this goal. Conclusion: The future of smart cities depends not just on technological advancements but on collaborative, human-centered approaches. As we navigate this transformation, the focus must remain on using technology to enhance, not hinder, urban life. Notable Quotes from the Hosts: "It's about giving people the tools and the knowledge to be active participants in shaping the future of their cities." "We need to be mindful of the potential consequences of AI on jobs, privacy, and equality." Fun Facts or Interesting Tidbits: People were more interested in searching for inmates in jail rather than marriage licenses on the redesigned Clark County website. A project in Massachusetts involved transit maps from the 1970s, highlighting the need to update and digitize old data for modern use.

The Infrastructure Minister maintains that more public-private partnerships won't mean more privatisation of assets. Chris Bishop's unveiled a new framework for the PPPs to encourage the government to work with developers to build key projects. He told Mike Hosking concerns of privatisation are unfounded. Bishop says while projects would be built by private developers, ownership would remain with the Crown. He says that it's just project delivery method and a procurement method, but at the end of the day it sits on the Government's balance sheet.

The Beverly Hills MD Deep Wrinkle Filler is on sale NOW!! This video features everything you need to know about my latest anti-aging obsession! WATCH NOW ———-> https://bhmd1.com/JoyMarc Cohodes takes on fraudsters and scammers for a living.If you don't know the name - he is the famous, Wall Street short-seller who is credited with exposing the FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried cryptocurrency fraud. The shocking scheme featured a private company (with their media darling SBF) laundering money for government connected political organizations and completely defrauding their investors.Now that the dust has settled many are realizing that the cozy relationship between corporate giants and the governments tasked with regulating them - just might be a problem.In the late 19th & 20th Centuries there seemed to be constant and natural tension between private, for-profit corporations and the democratically elected governments who regulated them. Political party platforms grew out of that paradigm with Democrats ever so skeptical of the nasty Robber Barons and Republicans issuing dire warnings about BIG government socialists & the evils of Communism.Recently however - it seems as if they have ALL gotten quite cozy.A strange (yet familiar) phenomenon has emerged in the 21st Century and has accelerated in the last 20 years, particularly after the COVID lockdowns of 2020. It features larger and larger organizations (companies, shell companies, non-profits, consortiums, NGO's and Public Private Partnerships to name a few) merging seamlessly with government agencies and bureaucracies across the globe.This clearly has dire implications for regular people's economy and freedom.When governments (armed with military might) and tasked with regulating corporations, get in bed with the companies they are supposed to be monitoring, the stage is set for massive fraud & corruption which inevitably leads to terrible tyrannies as they ALL consolidate wealth & power.MUST watch show today with Marc Cohodes!

“We've just come across a document hosted by the Department of Homeland Security, posted March 2023, but written in 2007, that amounts to a full-blown corporatist imposition on the US, abolishing anything remotely resembling the Bill of Rights and Constitutional law. It is right there in plain sight for anyone curious enough to dig.” - @jeffreyatuckerThe benign term is ‘Public Private Partnership' and less frightening descriptors like ‘regulatory capture' or ‘corporate capture' may be used but make NO MISTAKE … a new version of 21st Century fascism is HERE and after getting away with COVID - the perpetrators are more powerful than ever!Just days ago we sat down with Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav who had grave concerns about this emerging political juggernaut, warning us that the COVID tyranny was NOT OVER.Today we welcome renowned economist, Jeffrey Tucker to discuss the mechanisms of this emerging tyranny, the impact on regular citizens and what we need to do to stop the cancerous growth of the fascist mindset in America.It's embraced by BOTH political factions and it should terrify us all.Jeffrey Tucker is Founder, Author, and President at Brownstone Institute.

Key Takeaways: Mainstream vs Alternative vs Independent: Recent controversies in alternative media signal a broader shift towards decentralization and fragmentation across various sectors, highlighted by disputes involving key personalities and companies. Evolution of Public-Private Partnerships: The traditional public-private partnerships are evolving into complex civic partnerships where media and technology blur lines between civilian and intelligence operations. How to Navigate New Media Landscape: Analyze the core-message and economic models. Article advocates for "Value For Value" to maintain ethical integrity and avoid the pitfalls of traditional monetization strategies. What is up with all the drama in Alternative Media recently? I was inspired to start writing this piece a few weeks ago when longtime popular researcher Amazing Polly (@FringeViews) started making public accusations against a well known alternative health company, The Wellness Company (TWC). TWC have partnerships with many content creators and personalities in the Alternative Media space (some of whom I consider friends). While the initial concerns about TWC brought up by Amazing Polly are entirely valid (connections between founder Foster Coulson and Erik Prince [Blackwater]), the subsequent events that unfolded beyond this particular situation screams of a much larger sociological and technological phenomenon worth exploring for any independently thinking truth seeker. While the TWC situation disrupted the perceived unity amidst the crowd of "awake" people perusing the Internet, the drama spilled into the heart of Alternative Media when Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) left the Daily Wire. This event speaks to how far we are on the operation to split apart the Judeo-Christian ethic that the founders used as core principles of our country . The drama that broke out concerning Steven Crowder (@scrowder) (divorce, ex-employee) only adds fuel to the fact that the conservative superstars who rose to popularity in the last decade, are now your main characters in the reality TV show called Alternative Media. We've called it AMIC (Alternative Media Industrial Complex). There are other names who have similar names for the sentiment. We all know that Mainstream Legacy Media is pretty much dead at this point, at least in the format it was delivered in the past. But the question will be, can the Alternative Media exist without them? @Axios published an article titled "Shards of Glass: Inside Media's 12 Splintering Realities," which suspiciously tries to do something similar to what this piece is about. But their take is more about the platforms and "hive minds" that are quite general and not too helpful IMHO. What I will attempt to do here is provide a template by which anyone can use to analyze the content you are consuming today. This is an especially important exercise, as it may reveal uncomfortable truths about your favorite podcasters, youtubers, tiktokers, x-ers, etc. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ~1 Peter 5:8 C19 was the Great Reset Can you believe it's been over 4 years since the lockdowns? If you're reading this, congratulations! You survived a highly orchestrated worldwide trauma based mind control session that could only be possible on the doorsteps of a true technocratic dystopia. Human interaction in the first world became exclusively virtual. Leaders of all strata were forced to make totalitarian decisions. And economic infrastructure was rattled for the first time in over a decade. No place was this more obvious than Mainstream Corporate Media. It can be stated that C19 was one giant initiation ritual for the general public, brought to you by those, knowingly or not, doing the bidding of the principalities and powers that think they have control over the earth and its people. THE GREAT EXODUS When we (@CanaryCryRadio) started to notice long time talking head personalities leave, get fired, or "let go" from their legacy trad-media fortresses, many were forced to go "independent." We watched as they started forming alliances and groups in the "wild west" of online virtual media by either joining established alternative platforms, or going solo publishing blogs, podcasts, YouTube, TikTok etc. The folks who were once celebrated as the faces and voices of the establishment, suddenly found themselves alongside random people like you and I, competing for attention, clicks, and a paycheck. Some have found their way into government or private think tanks (@ChrisCillizza,@ChrisGloninger). This diaspora of people coming out of the traditional media was/is happening to almost every sector or industry, including healthcare. In fact, it could be argued that health/wellness is THE most impacted when it comes to a post-C19 psyoped world. An exodus from the Big Pharma economic model seems to have been one tentacle of the greater plan to restructure everything. Or at least an excuse to show how broken it is, in order to implement the stuff that will "fix" it. Good ole' problem-reaction-solution. Of course, such a massive beast like Big Pharma can't flip their cash cow infrastructure on a dime. They have an entire generation of customers hooked in, til' death-do-them-part. It would take a decade at least. In the meantime, it would be beneficial for someone to cast a large net to capture all the disgruntled and disenfranchised citizens exiting the trust funnel of the traditional institutional pillars. It seems that's what the Wellness Company did. Some might call it a smart and savvy business decision, others might call it a direct operation from the intelligence playbooks. As you'll see, the lines that separate these things are blurring. And it could be argued, that the final shift will come with the economic infrastructure, not just medical. THE INFILTRATION To that effect, I think Amazing Polly and others before her have done a pretty good job bringing attention to individuals who started the Wellness Company, and some of their ties to former private military contractors like BlackWater (Erik Prince openly assisted James O'Keefe and the Veritas Project learn how to do undercover work). The sentiment had been that such training turned Veritas Project into a "patriotic intelligence outfit." It was likely also the reason for its undoing as well. Since Amazing Polly published her video on the TWC, complete with a map of content creators who are either sponsored or have affiliates with them, she found herself being attacked and eventually doxxed. I'm not particularly in support of doxxing anyone, but the information that did surface about her was, at best, bad optics, and at worst, revealed some uncomfortable truths. In short, her husband works for a company in Canada whose position required Government security clearance. I get it. Not everyone who has a Gov security clearance is part of the lizard club, but as I stated in the post that you can read here, I suggested directly to Amazing Polly, that it's bad optics. Especially if that was something she was trying to hide from the public (which she has a right to do), since she likely understood that it would be bad optics coming from someone who has a decent sized following, making content exposing "the system". Her husbands LinkedIn account has since been deleted. If you want to learn more about her reporting and perspective, you can see the video she published here, and the surrounding commentary about being doxxed etc. In my personal opinion, the Amazing Polly vs TWC drama is just one tree in a much larger forest. Namely a sociological and technological phenomenon of decentralization (maybe even balkanization) of everything from journalism, to healthcare, to intelligence operations itself! The implications are more dire for all of us in one way, but a cause for hope in another. DON'T GET TRIGGERED I said in a recent podcast episode of Canary Cry NewsTalk, that "we are all being turned into intelligence operatives." What I meant was that every citizen (especially those on the internet) are effectively agents that represent something...or someone. In that context, maybe it was good that Erik Prince helped Project Veritas do undercover work to expose corruption, especially in the traditional right-left paradigm that we've all been forced into. Or perhaps it speaks to how the true social engineers have already been working on creating the parallel economy to the Mainstream Media, by building out the Alternative Media. The necessities of such an operation would naturally mean that they would have to mingle with the general population. This bridged the traditional intelligence operatives into civilian life, and weaponized civilian life to become more like intelligence operations. This is especially true when it comes to news media. What this all means is that you and I are all being forced into this weird period of time when anything we say, do, write, or publish online, can be used for agendas that far exceed the initial intent of that piece of content. We've all become messengers in the 5th generation war. The rise of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) in the 20th century was marked by the partnerships between Private (Corporations) and Public (Government) sectors; Public-Private Partnerships. PPPs were designed to create the gray-area economic apparatus that would effectively secure the United States as the first benefactor in diplomacy and military affairs worldwide. Corporations that build really expensive and dangerous stuff, and Governments who come up with reasons to need them. And we-the-people get to pay for it. What could go wrong? It is true that this very apparatus is currently running wild, instigating the poly-chaos of World War 3, where geopolitical and trans-religious tensions will unground the loyalties of prior generations, and instead, form new conflicts between networks. But this cannot be possible without the tools to make it happen. As the MIC built "stuff" over decades, certain patented technologies and their commercial products began embedding themselves into our public communications infrastructure. As of 2024, there are smart phones in the hands of more than 6 billion people around the world. This distribution has been a massive vehicle for the rise of "Alternative Media." Even before the Trump era that started the greater public awareness of corruption and downfall of legacy media, a thriving Alternative Media synonymously existed alongside Independent Media. In fact, the two phrases meant essentially the same thing, mostly apparent via their economic models. Much like the title "Alternative Rock" when I was growing up, anything "ALT" simply meant, "stuff that's not being pushed by the mainstream (record labels, commercials, news outlets etc.)." It is supposed to represent content not economically incentivized by a third party, who wield the power to facilitate and manufacture a spot light for the subject. The music industry is a great analogy because we lived through the decentralization of economic viability for musicians through the rise of the Internet. Big record labels were forced to go more and more shallow as true talent were able to exist more or less independently or by way of starting their own record labels (alternative). As avenues and opportunities to build one's own economic fortresses increased, the lines between mainstream and alternative/independent became blurred. Mainstream has increasingly become nothing better than the vehicle for pure propaganda. But much of Alternative Media thrives its existence on calling out and exposing the lies of the mainstream. Without the Mainstream Media, Alternative Media is nothing. There is a symbiosis, a manufactured paradigm war, to keep each other alive. Thus, as Alternative Media has matured into the New Mainstream, a new distinction has become clear. Alternative vs Independent. The maturing indicates that we have reached critical mass on the decentralization and distribution of military grade comm technology. It's why we are currently going through the adoption of #Bitcoin, where pseudonymity of transacting on a trust-less immutable ledger benefits both the intel operatives and great grandma living on the other side of the world alike. In fact, the transition to go from online to on-chain is WELL under way. But in this new paradigm where the old ways of PPPs are exposed, new types of operations most certainly exist. Especially if it can assist the new generation of social engineers to transition from the train their forefathers built, onto a shiny new rocket ship. It's a lot to process, but I hope you get something out of how I'm working through this stuff to navigate the new landscape of millions to billions of voices all screaming into the database, competing to win the attention of the masses for just one moment to deliver a message. The Evolution of PPPs Parallels to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) like Public-Public Partnerships (PuPs) have also been around in past decades, where governments partner with non-profits instead of corporations. Highly controlled and tactical messages sent through, what was at the time, the advent of modern media; Newspapers, Magazines, TV/Radio stations is one thing (there were only so many when I was growing up), but perhaps even more powerful are/were the pulpits who reinforced the messages (501c3, non-profits, Truman's Psychological Strategy Board). As we find ourselves in this chaotic period a quarter of the way into the 21st century, the word "public" in the old PPP sense (Government), has become rather obsolete. No longer are our governments, especially at the federal level, representing the will of the people. Hence, the word "public" ought to be given back "to the people" as it were. As such, we might be in new kinds of manufactured "partnerships." Specifically a "Civic Partnership," meaning the general public, largely measured in attention and clicks. These are more akin to "social contracts" between a creator and their audiences. Other synonyms like "tribes" have been used, but I stuck with Civic because it implies public duty, especially in online media that covers world events and news. The labels I'm about to list here are not official, not taken from any public document (although informed by them), nor are they fully developed. They also ought to be considered on a spectrum, not hard lines. As you'll discover, it's not just "us" versus "them" anymore. It's really all of us competing with one another in this new digital citizen panopticon as we begin to find our virtual homes in whatever Network States we identify with most (@balajis). Jesus said in Matthew 24:7 "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom..." In this new era, it might be appropriate to understand it as "Network against Network." Since the modern network is defined by code, we can reference how all of this goes back to the power of the words and symbols. If we are careless with our tongue, we may fall into the trap of unintentionally misleading our fellow citizens. COVERT-CIVIC PARTNERSHIPS (CCPs) I'd like to start off by suggesting the Covert-Civic Partnerships (CCPs...ironic
