Ottawa’s proposed oil and gas emissions cap is economically and constitutionally questionable

Following up on its pledge during last year’s election, the Trudeau government published its proposal for capping greenhouse gases from the oil and gas sector.

Ottawa proposes such a cap under either of two approaches: regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to create a cap-and-trade system across oil and gas producers; or a higher carbon price and greater stringency for oil and gas facilities under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (otherwise known as the federal carbon pricing “backstop.”)

Rigging the War on Fossil Fuels

Taxpayer dollars to make the world green and red.

With the 2022 midterm elections less than four months away, a New York Times/Siena College poll revealed that just 1 percent of registered voters viewed climate change as a “top priority,” let alone the most important issue facing the nation. The poll placed climate change far behind concerns about inflation, the economy, record crime rates, and the humanitarian crisis on America’s southern border. Even among voters younger than 30 — the demographic that is typically most energized by debates about environmental policy — the corresponding figure was a mere 3 percent.

Dutch farmers touch off a worldwide revolt

The European Union and ‘green’ governments are playing with fire

Why are farmers around the world standing in solidarity with a tiny country in northwestern Europe? What’s going on here?
Starting in June, 40,000 Dutch farmers took their tractors to the streets to protest their government’s proposal to slash nitrogen emissions.
For some farmers, this plan will mean culling 95 percent of their livestock. For others, it will mean going out of business altogether, hoping to sell their land to make ends meet — with the Dutch government as the only buyer.

Trudeau ploughs ahead with fertilizer cut, while turning a blind eye to human suffering

The Liberals’ decision to force farmers to reduce fertilizer use at a time of high inflation and increasing food insecurity is another example of a government that turns a blind eye to the human and economic costs of its climate policies

Justin makes it very easy to hate him and his fellow climate cultists on a personal level.

Cross-Examining the Climate Change Cultists

If you want to watch the pinkos fret, simply state the indisputable truth that what they call “climate change” is a massive hoax. Their fallback is inevitably that “science” – which they purport to love except when it demonstrates that there are only men and women and that you can’t change the sex you are born as – has decreed that because we peons insist on not living in caves like primitive tribesmen (okay, non-binary tribespeople) the Earth is going to cook. And, of course, the only solution is to do a whole bunch of things that leftists always wanted to do anyway. There’s no time to think, no time to reflect, and certainly no time to argue. Why, who are you to question the scientists?

Well, I’m a lawyer. I question scientists for a living.

Threat to Canadian electric vehicle industry dissipates with U.S. Senate deal

A deal struck among Democrats in the U.S. Senate appears to have eliminated a threat hanging over the nascent electric vehicle manufacturing industry in Canada.

An agreement announced late Wednesday between Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia gives the Democrats the votes they need to pass a key plank of U.S. President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda.

The deal would amend Mr. Biden’s climate and health bill and change the terms of tax credits for electric vehicles that as previously written would have only applied to autos assembled in the United States.

Big deal. The Climate Nazis will ensure not enough hydro is available to charge your electric car. Assuming they even allow you to own one.

Trudeau Spars With Farmers on Climate Plan Risking Grain Output

Canada wants to cut fertilizer emissions, but farmers say it could result in less food

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to accelerate the fight against climate change is sparking a showdown with the nation’s farmers, who say it’s threatening food supplies — and their profits.

The government is proposing to cut emissions from fertilizer 30% by 2030 as part of a plan to get to net zero in the next three decades. But growers are saying that to achieve that, they may have to shrink grain output significantly at a time when the world is scrambling for more supplies. Also at stake is the estimated C$10.4 billion ($8.08 billion) that farmers could lose this decade from the reduced output.

Federal Climate Policies, Fertilizer Plan, Will Cause Devastation, Say Saskatchewan Farmers

Farmers in Saskatchewan, a province that has nearly half of Canada’s arable land, say production will fall sharply if they are forced to use less fertilizer and pay increasingly high carbon taxes on fuel.

The government is moving ahead with its goal, first announced in December 2020, to reduce absolute levels of greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer use by 30 percent below 2020 levels by 2030. Specifically, it aims to reduce nitrous oxide emissions associated with synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use.

GOLDSTEIN: Defences of PM’s carbon tax ‘wildly optimistic’

Three letters to the editor in the Toronto Sun Wednesday all raised the same invalid points in defending Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax.

They said a recent report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer that found most households in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be paying more in carbon taxes than they get in rebates between 2021 and 2030 was flawed.

Environmentalism is an Environmental Hazard

Solar panel lead in the groundwater and wind turbine fiberglass in your lungs.

20 years after voters rejected ‘toilet-to-tap’ water, Los Angeles Democrats brag that they will be the first city in the state to pipe toilet water to faucets for the sake of the environment.

As part of the city’s version of the Green New Deal, a majority of Los Angeles water will be ‘toilet-to-tap’. California Democrats, who refuse to build new dams or do anything to expand water resources, are set to spend at least $12 billion on what they describe as “locally sourced” water which certainly sounds nicer than toilet water. The environmentalist elites will go on drinking bottled water and it will be the city’s poor drinking out of the toilet.

Good Green Retirements?

Stellantis offering retirement incentives to workers at Windsor, Brampton plants

Stellantis is offering a “retirement incentive program” to employees at its Ontario assembly plants in Windsor and Brampton ahead of a multibillion-dollar shift to electric vehicle production, but the automaker is not commenting on how much it expects to shrink its workforce.

In a statement on Tuesday, the company formerly known as Fiat Chrysler said the incentives are for eligible employees.

No. 1 I am not trusting any company named Stellantis.

No. 2 Any company boasting of their commitment to operations in a given locale is likely planning to shut them down.

No. 3 I thought “going green” was supposed to create jobs?

Justin Trudeau Decides to Walk Down the Same Failed Green Path as Sri Lanka

Canada is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, providing 11.9% of the global supply. In 2021 the top five grain exporters were Russia, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Ukraine. Two of those nations are at war with each other, and that conflict is threatening production. Drought conditions also threaten the winter wheat crop in the United States, increasing reliance on Canada for production. However, it appears that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has decided everyone can go gluten-free.

Dutch Farmers Resume Protests Against Green Reforms, Dumping Manure, Garbage on Roads

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Dutch farmers resumed protests at government plans to reduce nitrogen emissions Wednesday by dumping manure and garbage on highways and setting fires alongside roads.

Traffic authorities said several roads in the central and eastern Netherlands were completely or partially blocked by the early morning blockades and fire services rushed to clear roads as traffic built up. Cleanup operations were expected to take hours on some roads.

Extreme Policies for Organic Farming Ignore Soil Science: Former USDA Soil Scientist

Under pressure from environmentalists, some governments have implemented extreme nitrogen fertilizer restrictions that ignore the time needed to restore a depleted soil microbiology, resulting in protests from some scientists and farmers who are seeing the concerning impacts of such restrictions.

According to organic farming proponent and former U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil scientist Kelly Walker, in order to keep the billions of people around the world fed, a paced switch to a hybrid approach is needed over any extreme changes based on an arbitrary number to allow the soil the many years it needs to transition away from chemical fertilizers to a more organic future.

Justin Trudeau and the dangers of eco-posturing

The Western elites’ war on modern farming is a menace to humankind.

Justin Trudeau has joined the mad war on farmers. The king of virtue-signalling is insisting that nitrous oxide emissions be cut by 30 per cent by 2030. It’s all about Canada doing its bit for the planet, he says. But such a severe reduction in nitrogen-use would be disastrous for the planet. It would mean Canadian farmers being pressured to use less fertiliser, which would mean fewer crops, which would mean less food not only for the people of Canada but for people around the world. Saving the planet by starving human beings – even by the morally vacuous standards of a flimsy ruler like Trudeau, that is messed up.
