Environmental groups say Canada should allow Communist Chinese EV’s to undermine Canada’s auto sector

A trade war with China over EVs could slow Canada’s low-carbon transition, groups warn

Environmental groups are calling on the federal government to avoid getting into a trade war with China over electric vehicles.

They say they fear trade sanctions could make EVs more expensive, delaying Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

Less than a week after the federal government announced it was considering imposing trade restrictions on cheaper Chinese-made EVs, groups like Environmental Defence are urging Ottawa to consider the ramifications of such a move.

I bet commie Guilbeault agrees.

The Climate-Change Hysterics May Be Wrong, But They’re Not Sorry

By overpromising and underdelivering, the climatological community has done more reputational damage to itself than its critics ever could.

‘We cannot wait for speeches when the sea is rising around us all the time,” said Simon Kofe, the one-time foreign minister of the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, in a 2021 address. Kofe’s warning was the kind of boilerplate climate-change catastrophism to which all save the most dedicated activists long ago became inured. It wouldn’t have made any waves if Kofe hadn’t delivered his missive standing in hip-deep water, flanked by United Nations and Tuvaluan flags, and wearing a smartly tailored suit. The theatrics made the point Kofe’s formulaic rhetoric could not.

The Big Air Con – Elite climate hypocrisy is not sustainable

Airport world is a parallel dimension. No matter where they are geographically, all airports are essentially the same place, with a simplified “international English” and a time zone only loosely tethered to its location. Airport world even has its own climate: uniformly air-conditioned, typically somewhere in the 21-24°C zone that studies also suggest represents the zone of maximum human productivity and cognitive performance.

Last week, airport world deposited me in Boston for a few days, during a heatwave that reached humid highs of 36°C. But the heat barely registered as such, thanks to America’s ubiquitous climate control, which helpfully kept my seminar strictly in the productivity zone.

Canadian Official Reveals Damage Eco-Activists Have Wreaked On Great White North’s Energy Security

Rebecca Schulz — the minister of environment and protected areas of Alberta, Canada — sat down with the Daily Caller News Foundation at the Canadian embassy in Washington, D.C. to discuss how climate activists, along with the country’s left-wing government, have hampered Canada’s energy security.

Alberta is a province in Western Canada that is known for its abundant natural resources, especially oil and natural gas. However, the federal government in Ottawa — led by liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — has moved to restrict development in the province, harming the many blue-collar Canadians who rely on affected industries to make a living, Schulz explained to the DCNF.

Growing Numbers Calling Time on ‘Just Stop Oil’ After Stonehenge Stunt

The environmental extremist group Just Stop Oil has been repeatedly pushing the boundaries of political protest since it was founded in 2022—blocking roads, including for emergency services, and vandalising priceless (and, of course, precious) pieces of art. But some commentators reckon that its latest attack—on Stonehenge—will be the final straw, even for former supporters of the group.

A new law aims to crack down on environmental racism in Canada

Dofasco-Hamilton

For years, researchers, activists, community leaders have shown how Indigenous, Black and other racialized groups have been disproportionately affected by polluting industries.

Now, a new law will require the federal government to better track this injustice, and aim to correct it.

Bill C-226, sponsored by Green leader Elizabeth May, became law Thursday evening, nearly four years after similar legislation was first proposed in Parliament. The law will require the federal government to develop a national strategy on environmental racism within two years.

White people are never affected by pollution.

Aboriginal owners of land order ‘white idiot’ eco-activists to leave

Traditional owners have told a parliamentary hearing for a controversial mining and manufacturing project that white ‘idiot’ activists are blocking their economic development opportunities.

Top End Aboriginal Coastal Alliance Chair Julius Kernan says Indigenous Territorians face many ‘hurdles’ and siding with interstate environmentalists had previously caused them to ‘miss out’ on the benefits projects bring.

‘It is time for our people to be recognised or identified as people to engage with in a culturally appropriate manner and have space to have a say without interruption from non-Indigenous idiots,’ he told a Senate inquiry examining the Middle Arm development in the Northern Territory on Monday.

German Climate Activists: “If You Blow Up Pipelines, Don’t Get Caught”

The German climate protest group ”Hungern, bis ihr ehrlich seid” (Starve until you’re honest), whose members have taken turns hunger striking in a Berlin park since March, has ended that form of activism and is now telling members to take more aggressive action.

Adam Lack, one of the activists, called on people to join an environmental group and commit acts of sabotage, Tagesspiegel reports, such as turning off pipelines or blowing them up, slashing the tires of SUVs, and blocking roads.

Jamie Sarkonak: Guilbeault gives endangered owls the ‘more consultations’ treatment

For all of British Columbia’s environmentalist tendencies, it has struggled to preserve one of its most endangered species: the northern spotted owl. The stable part of that population, a total of 30 members, lives in a captive breeding program in Langley. Only three are now known to be living in the wild.

The owls are low on the priority list of our otherwise aggressive Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, who was recently found by a federal court judge to have broken the law by failing to protect them with haste.

Environment Canada says it can now rapidly link high-heat weather events to climate change

Environment and Climate Change Canada says it’s now able to publicly identify links between episodes of extreme heat and climate change within days of a weather event.

The federal department says that its scientists now have the ability to estimate the degree to which human-induced climate change played a role in a heat wave or extreme heat event within a week of it happening.

Friederike Otto, an internationally renowned climate researcher and one of the global leaders in weather attribution science, said Canada’s weather service will be the first in the world to issue rapid analyses of heat events.

Why being anti-car is a luxury belief

California Car Engine Govenor

It happened six years ago on a flight back from the United States. ‘Sir, I’m pleased to say you’ve been upgraded to first class.’ ‘Wonderful! Where would you like me to sit?’ ‘Anywhere you like, you’re the only passenger.’

For the next few hours I dined on fine food brought to me at any time I chose and drank the finest wines known to humanity. I had a staff of three to myself. At one point they brought me a silver tray with magazines on it, one of which was The Spectator. ‘Would you like anything to read, sir?’ ‘Yes, I’d like to read something written by, let me see… oh, I know – me!’ I didn’t actually say that, you understand, but I thought it all the same.
