Over 500 animals have been slaughtered in a walled estate in Azambuja purportedly making way for a massive solar energy park.
Uproar began over social media last weekend after photographs of ‘the massacre’ were uploaded by some of the Spanish hunters who had taken part.
“We did it again!” extolled one in English, then reverting to Spanish to proclaim a ‘super record hunt!’: 540 animals with 16 hunters’.

“Fast” charging is a gift that keeps on taking up your time.
Would you wait 15 minutes to get a fast-food hamburger?
Electric cars will make you wait longer. This includes even those touted as being capable of receiving a “fast” charge in 15 minutes or so. Because you’ll have to wait for the car plugged in ahead of you to “fast” charge.
This assumes you’re second in line. If you’re third …
CALGARY — The NDP criticized on Tuesday freshly-unveiled clean fuel standards, after a government impact analysis said higher fuel costs will hit lower- and middle-income households hardest.
The Clean Fuel Standard, a key part of Ottawa’s climate plan, was released in draft form last week and aims to reduce the carbon content of liquid fuels, such as those used in transportation and to heat homes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals say it will cut annual emissions by more than 20 megatons by 2030.
The federal environment ministry predicts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposed second carbon tax, known as the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), will increase energy poverty in Canada.
It concludes the CFR will disproportionately impact low and middle-income households, seniors, single mothers, rural Canadians, oil, gas and freight transport workers, single family homeowners, tenants and possibly other groups for which there is insufficient data, such as the LGBTQ2+ community.
Nuclear power is essential to meeting Canada’s climate-change goals, and developing portable mini nuclear reactors is a key part of that strategy, the federal energy minister said on Friday.
In announcing an “action plan” for developing small modular reactors, Seamus O’Regan said the new technology has the potential to help Canada cut emissions and stimulate economic growth.
“I believe in the development of this technology,” O’Regan said from St. John’s, N.L. “You’ve got to lay the groundwork for that now.”
Trudeau wants to ban gas powered vehicles and make the transition to so called Green electric transportation. That will require huge amounts of electricity to pull off. That means an awful lot of reactors. Look at the resistance to the Trans-Mountain pipe line. Now magnify that ten or even a hundred fold. There are few to no SMR’s in your future under an LPC,Bloc,NDP government.
OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada wants deeper environmental ties with the United States and one result could be a North American ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger cars and trucks, a senior cabinet member said on Thursday.
Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Ottawa and the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden both agreed zero emissions vehicles needed to be deployed faster.
Canada will discuss with the United States how to achieve this and also improve the overall performance of the transport sector, which accounts for 26% of Canadian emissions, he said in a phone interview.
Is it too late for Ontario to get back into cap and trade? It’s far, far less expensive than the gigantic carbon tax the federal government plans to impose on Ontarians.
When Ontario’s PC government took over in 2018, it enthusiastically cancelled the Liberals’ cap-and-trade arrangement with Quebec and California. It was costing Ontarians $2 billion a year and producing minimal environmental impact, much of that in California.
Announcing his new plan for getting to net-zero on carbon emissions, Justin Trudeau told Canadians: “If we trust scientists with our health, as we do, then we must also trust their research and their expertise when it comes to other existential threats. And that includes climate change. There is no vaccine against a polluted planet. It’s up to us to act. Because there is a real cost to pollution. We’re paying the price already with record storms, wildfires, floods, and heat waves, which all carry real economic costs and real risks to our health. We chose to get straight to work on cutting pollution.”
We should indeed trust scientific research and expertise, and above all data. But so far, data shows no such existential threats due to climate change.
Justin Trudeau waited until the House of Commons adjourned for Christmas before announcing a plan to increase the federal carbon tax by 240 per cent and spend $15 billion on greenhouse gas reduction measures.
The evasive manoeuvre may have undermined the opposition parties but it has not pacified pockets of simmering resentment across the country.
The problem with “The Great Reset” as espoused by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the United Nations and the World Economic Forum is not that it’s a conspiracy or a blueprint for dictatorship.
To the contrary, they’re telling us exactly what they want to do.
OTTAWA: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will leverage COVID-19 recovery to implement a more ambitious anti-global warming plan. Trudeau made the announcement in a pre-recorded video released on December 12 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the UN Paris Climate Accord.
The anniversary was marked by a virtual global “Climate Ambition Summit”, hosted by the United Nations, Britain and France.
Are there any so naïve who did not believe the Trudeau government would work to slyly entwine the protracted and immiserating COVID-19 crisis with its global warming obsession? Take advantage of a time when economic reality is at its bleakest, the citizens of Canada anxious and unsettled, our national treasury pillaged, and — just for good measure, when Christmas itself is cancelled — slap an outrageous carbon tax on everyone? It’s a lump of coal (carbon) in every Canadian’s Christmas stocking, compliments of Santa J.
Western environmentalists are the useful idiots of the Chinese Communist Party, says a report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
China’s green credentials are often praised by Western environmental groups who apparently believe that China is serious about cutting its carbon dioxide emissions.
But according to a report by long-time China watcher Patricia Adams these groups are merely the dupes of communist propaganda
I’d like to say it is a cash grab, I’d like to say that it was craven politics, but Justin Trudeau’s decision to announce a massive hike in the carbon tax in the middle of an economic recession caused by a global pandemic is much more than that — it’s religion.
Whatever faith Trudeau was raised with or experienced as a child, his true religion now is climate change. Someone concerned about climate change but also cognizant of the fact people are suffering job losses, that businesses big and small have been crippled, might have decided to hold off on raising the carbon tax by 566% over the next ten years.
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis urged countries on Saturday to work towards net zero carbon emissions and committed Vatican City – the world’s smallest state – to reaching the target by 2050.
Francis, who has championed environmental causes since his election in 2013, told a U.N. climate summit the 108-acre (44-hectare) city-state surrounded by Rome would be doing its bit to fight climate change.
