Liberal House leader wants slush-fund scandal settled in committee, not Commons

That Vaxx didn’t help her looks.

OTTAWA — As the House of Commons remains in procedural suspended animation, Canada’s Opposition leader is standing firm on his pledge to hold the government to account.

During question period on Wednesday, Liberal House leader Karina Gould said the quagmire — triggered by a Conservative privilege motion over the government’s refusal to hand over unredacted documents related to the now-defunct Sustainable Development Technology Canada’s billion-dollar “green slush fund” scandal — should be resolved in the committee room, not the House.

STIRLING: Trudeau Liberals funding group that hypes unlikely green benefits

The green-extreme Canadian Climate Institute has been Xeeting a clip of Kate Harland, a so-called ‘mitigation’ expert, claiming that once people make the “Big Switch” away from fossil fuels to a decarbonized, electrified world, people will “save up to 12% on their energy bills by 2050.”

That seems to be a highly optimistic forecast.


It’s all a scam.

Trudeau says Singh, NDP ‘caved’ to political pressure in fight against climate change

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau slammed the NDP and its leader Jagmeet Singh on Friday, saying that while they may care about the environment, they have “no idea what to do in the fight against climate change.”

At a news conference in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., Trudeau accused the NDP of “playing simple politics” and “walking away from progressive values” after it ended its confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberals last week.

Recapping some of the most erroneous ‘climate change’ predictions

“Experts” have been making dire predictions on the climate for over one hundred years, and their solution is always for the government to control our lives. They always falsely claim that the predictions and solutions are based on science, but science has nothing to do with it. It is always about taking more money and power for the government, or $cience.

96 Percent Of Spendy Green Policies Do Jack Squat To Reduce Emissions

The Biden-Harris administration has spent more of taxpayers’ money on climate policies than any previous U.S. administration. But a new study found that most of the climate policies enacted in the last 25 years, including the ones the Biden-Harris administration imposed on American businesses and consumers, haven’t worked.

The study, published in the Journal of Science, evaluated about 1,500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 by 41 OECD countries (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). The study found only 63 policies (about 4 percent) that, combined, had successfully “reduced total emissions between 0.6 and 1.8 Gt CO2.” Due to the low success rate, researchers estimate the CO2 emissions from the 41 nations they studied will exceed the Paris Climate Agreement target by 23 billion metric tons by 2030.

Canada’s clean-tech funding created a global powerhouse. Now scandal threatens to tear it down

OTTAWA—It was once the driver of Canada’s nascent clean-technology industry, supported by Liberal and Conservatives alike.

Publicly funded but arms-length from government bureaucracy since 2001, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was a lifeline to entrepreneurs desperate to find money for their clean-tech innovations.

That was until a damaging mismanagement scandal rocked the agency and the House of Commons last year, forcing the Trudeau government on its heels and prompting it to launch a drastic overhaul of the fund.

It’s a green slush fund.

Swedish “Queen of Trash” One of 11 Charged in Massive Environmental Scandal

The trial against eleven people connected with Swedish waste company Think Pink started Tuesday in Stockholm. The company has been charged with illegally dumping at least 200,000 metric tons of waste from the Stockholm area in 21 places across 15 municipalities in Sweden. In reality, the number of illegal waste sites was much larger—so large that the court had to limit the charges for time reasons.

The Not-So-Secret Dirty Facts About China’s ‘Clean Energy’ Production

China’s production of batteries for electric vehicles is “definitely not clean,” says energy expert Diana Furchtgott-Roth.

Without its own vast natural energy resources, China is the world’s largest energy importer, but has seized on the economic opportunities of the “green energy” movement. Yet the production of products such as EVs is causing harm to the environment, says Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment.

US leads wealthy countries spending billions of public money on unproven ‘climate solutions’

Over $12bn in subsidies awarded for technologies like carbon capture experts call ‘colossal waste of money’

A handful of wealthy polluting countries led by the US are spending billions of dollars of public money on unproven climate solutions technologies that risk further delaying the transition away from fossil fuels, new analysis suggests.

These governments have handed out almost $30bn in subsidies for carbon capture and fossil hydrogen over the past 40 years, with hundreds of billions potentially up for grabs through new incentives, according to a new report by Oil Change International (OCI), a non-profit tracking the cost of fossil fuels.

To date, the European Union (EU) plus just four countries – the US, Norway, Canada and the Netherlands – account for 95% of the public handouts on CCS and hydrogen.
