Guilbeault’s lunatic environmental policy will make sense once you realize who he is in bed with ….

ChiCom Useful Idiot Guilbeault urged to quit Chinese government advisory body chaired by senior member of Politburo

The federal Conservatives are calling on Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault to resign his position on an advisory group to the Chinese government – a body chaired by a former chief of staff to President Xi Jinping – and to end Canadian funding to this organization that instructs Beijing on green development.

The China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development also promotes Beijing’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative, a foreign-investment campaign that has been accused of ensnaring smaller nations in debt and then taking control of their infrastructure for China’s own strategic purposes.

HATE THE LIBERALS.

Adam Pankratz: Steven Guiltbeault’s net-zero plan is laughably impossible

Canada’s Minister of Environmental Magic, Steven Guilbeault, is at it again. His next trick, more daring than scaling even the tallest skyscraper, is to eliminate fossil fuels from Canada’s electrical grid by 2035. If rammed through, this latest government act of wand waving will cost Canadians more for a lower standard of living and drag our federal finances further towards the abyss. His plan is already encountering push back as it comes up against that which Minister Guilbeault hates most: reality.

Trudeau government lying about 2 billion tree pledge, environmental watchdog says

Ottawa using ‘creative accounting’ on its 2 billion tree pledge, environmental watchdog says

Canada’s environmental watchdog says Ottawa is using “creative accounting” to support the claim that its program to plant two billion trees is exceeding targets.

Commissioner of Environmental and Sustainable Development Jerry DeMarco told CBC News that Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) is using trees planted under a different program — and a different department — to boost its numbers.

“It’s creative accounting,” DeMarco told CBC. “It’s certainly within their prerogative to do that.

A climate connection to Alberta wildfires? Smith says most in province caused by humans

“All I know is in my province we have 650 fires and 500 of them were human caused, so we have to make sure that when people know that when it’s dry out there and we get into forest fire season, that they’re being a lot more careful because anytime you end up with an ignition that happens, it can have devastating consequences,” Smith said.

Will electrifying cars and home heating break Canada’s grid?

The government is encouraging Canadians to switch from gas to electric vehicles and from fossil fuel heating to electric heat pumps as part of Canada’s plan to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

That’s prompted a lot of Canadians, including CBC News readers, to ask: won’t that break the grid? How will our electricity system handle that extra load? And will going electric raise energy bills for the average Canadian?

Apparently Magic Elves will harness the power of Unicorn farts to power our EV’s. CBC is getting hammered in the comments for their ‘Pie in the sky’ wish dream.

GOLDSTEIN: While our carbon taxes increase, so do global emissions

Every time the Trudeau government levies a new charge on Canadians to pay for greenhouse gas emissions, it’s useful to keep in mind that global energy-related emissions rose to their highest level in human history last year.

As reported by the International Energy Agency, at 36.8 billion tonnes, global emissions in 2022 were 0.9% or 321 million tonnes higher than in 2021, when emissions totalled 36.5 billion tonnes.

Canadian govt wants fossil fuels mostly gone by 2035, put out by mostly “NO” reaction

It seems that Steven Guilbeault, the Environment Minister of Canada, isn’t a popular as he thinks he should be, what with saving the world and all. His “suck it up, Shriners” message, announced yesterday as part of the Trudeau government’s draft regulations to move Canada ever closer to NetZero, have really ruffled some feathers.

GUNTER: Alberta the big loser in federal Liberals’ clean electricity plan

When you’re listening to the federal government’s eco-propaganda on its new clean electricity plan (especially when you’re listening to their bumf on how the plan will save your family money), remember these are the very same politicians, activists and bureaucrats who told you the carbon tax would make your family money when rebates were included.

Sure, sure.

Ottawa’s new plan to force fossil fuels out of electric grid slammed as costly, ‘unrealistic’

OTTAWA — Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s newly announced plan to largely phase out the use of fossil fuels to generate power in Canada over the next 12 years is being criticized as costly and unrealistic, despite his claims that higher electricity costs would be offset by savings on oil and gas.

‘Gas Guzzlers’: The Government Lied About Car Markets

The regulatory regime forces consumers to buy “efficient” and expensive vehicles.

How did the government get into the business of decreeing how many miles per gallon new cars (and trucks) must deliver? The authority to do this is nowhere to be found in the Constitution — though some will say, rightly, that there were no cars (or trucks) around when the Constitution became the law of the land in 1789.

In Europe’s water wars, super rich play by their own rules

When Ludwig Helm first heard that a villa in his town used 80,000 liters of water a day — 625 times the daily average consumption of a one-person household in Germany — he thought the meter must be defective.

It wasn’t.

The wealthy town of Königstein, which sits on the wooded slopes of the Taunus, a mountain range near Frankfurt in Germany, counts some 98 people with annual incomes above €1 million among its 16,700 residents. Those households are driving water consumption through the roof, flouting restrictions aimed at protecting drinking water supplies as the region grapples with drought.

Water for me …

Alberta’s Danielle Smith slams ‘unconstitutional’ net-zero electricity regulations: ‘They will not be implemented in our province’

EDMONTON — The federal government’s newly released electricity regulations sparked criticism out of Alberta, a staunch critic of the Liberal government and one province that could be hard hit by the new targets.

“The draft federal 2035 net-zero power grid regulations are unconstitutional, irresponsible and do not align with Alberta’s emissions reduction and energy development plan that works towards a carbon-neutral power grid by 2050,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in a statement Thursday.

GREEN: No evidence to support wild claims of ‘global boiling’

Once again, we’re being told climate and weather patterns we normally associate with summer are the signs and portents of climate doom.

According to the Hill Times , the “planet is in a climate emergency.” Salon said we’re facing the “Hellhounds of summer” as the “hottest heatwave in human history just keeps getting worse.” July, said CTV , was probably the “hottest month in 120,000 years.” And of course, the CBC is at the vanguard, with daily warnings of heat-driven “climate-related disasters ” as we enter the “era of global boiling.”

The real crisis is global gaslighting

Forget global boiling – it’s global panic-mongering we should be angry about.

Picture the scene. You’re in London, the sky is menacingly grey, it’s drizzling. You zip your jacket against the elements, annoyed that Britain has just had one of its wettest Julys since records began. Then you reach for your copy of the Evening Standard as you head home from work, only to see splashed across the front page a Photoshopped image of the Earth on fire. ‘WHO WILL STOP EARTH BURNING?’, the hysterical headline asks. The drizzle turns to rain and you fold your Standard in two to use as an impromptu umbrella, turning a mad piece of global-boiling propaganda into flimsy protection from this strange, wet summer.

Tasha Kheiriddin: The carbon tax is coming back to bite the Liberals, hard

What do Canadians think of carbon taxes? We know what the federal government thinks: Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is a huge fan, as he has been a vocal proponent of his government’s imposition of a minimum price of $65 per tonne of carbon, which has raised the price at the pump by 14 cents per litre in much of the country.
