OTTAWA – Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s promise to travel by train across Canada to talk to people about emissions was derailed by the lack of rail routes available to cross the country.
In November, Guilbeault announced in Glasgow during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference — commonly known as COP26 — that he would be hopping on Via Rail trains in the upcoming months to tour the country and discuss climate change.
The anti-growth environmental movement deserves much of the blame.
Sri Lanka has fallen. On Saturday, thousands of protesters stormed the presidential palace. While the angry and the aggrieved swam in the president’s pool, had a cookout on his lawn, lounged on his bed, and set fire to his residence, the president was spirited away to a naval ship off the Sri Lankan coast.
The proximate reason for the chaos is that the nation is bankrupt, suffering its worst financial crisis in decades. Millions are struggling to buy food, medicine and fuel. Between June 2021 to June 2022, food prices rose by 80 percent. Last month, annual inflation hit nearly 55 percent. Since the start of the pandemic, half a million people have fallen into poverty.
The Trudeau government’s plan to reduce the use of fertilizers in Canada in the name of fighting climate change is the kind of thinking that globally applied, will lead to skyrocketing food prices and famine.
It is another example of how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mantra that the world must move ever faster away from the use of fossil fuels is increasingly becoming disconnected from reality because of rapidly changing global events.
The Trudeau Liberals must be patting themselves on the back every time they pass a gas station, after all, these unaffordable pump prices are precisely what they want.
Inflation hasn’t been this high since the Pierre Elliott Trudeau government back in the early ’80s. Canadians are struggling to afford groceries and other basics. But that hasn’t stopped the current Trudeau government from divulging its plan for a second carbon tax.
The European Union just took a major step toward accepting and promoting nuclear energy as a form of “green energy.” Naturally, climate change activists celebrated the move to normalize a form of energy production that produces zero carbon emissions.
Just kidding. Many on the green Left actually criticized the EU’s move.
“No amount of lobbyism and greenwashing will ever make [nuclear] ‘green,’” activist Greta Thunberg tweeted in advance of the decision. “We desperately need real renewable energy, not false solutions.”
Does Chrystia Freeland, can Chrystia Freeland, actually think that this is what goes through the minds of people when they see gas costing more than eight bucks a gallon? That they are glad, they are grateful, that emptying their wallets or fattening their credit-card debt is “reminding” them of “why climate action is so important?”
Freeland Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California policymakers love to lecture the rest of the world about climate change and the need to shift power generation from fossil fuels to renewables such as wind, solar, and hydropower. So it was ironic that Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new plan last month — he calls it the “strategic reliability reserve” — that relies heavily on fossil-fueled power imported from other states.
Surging energy prices harmful to families, should drive green transition: Freeland
OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said the federal government is absolutely concerned about inflation, but dismissed critics who called her callous and out of touch for suggesting the high cost of gas is a reminder of why we need to transition to greener energy solutions.
The Liberals are fanatics.
They are more than willing to sacrifice the economic well being, health and welfare of you and your family to their green-scam masters.
They will of course be comfortably cushioned from the new world order’s harsh realities.
They are no different than the people who ran the Gulags.
Stalin may as well be their mentor – “a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.”
Because that’s what you are to them a nameless number on a list.
When you’re convinced of doing the “Lord’s Work” there is no depravity too great.
From the Netherlands to Sri Lanka, people have had enough of the elite’s green hysteria.
If police were opening fire on protesters in a European nation, we would have heard about it, right? If there was a mass uprising of working people in a European Union country, taking to the streets in their thousands to cause disruption to roads, airports and parliament itself, it would be getting a lot of media coverage in the UK, wouldn’t it? The radical left would surely say something, too, given its claims to support ordinary people against The System. Cops shooting at working men and women whose only crime is that they pounded the streets to demand fairness and justice? There would be solidarity demos in the UK, for sure.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union lawmakers voted Wednesday to include natural gas and nuclear in the bloc’s list of sustainable activities.
The European Commission earlier this year made the controversial proposal as part of its plans for building a climate-friendly future, dividing member countries and drawing outcry from environmentalists as “greenwashing.”
EU legislators rejected an objection to the proposal in a 328-278 vote.
Sensing now is not the time, the Trudeau government is delaying until next year a second carbon tax that will increase the cost of gasoline by an estimated five to 11 cents per litre by 2030.
Called the Clean Fuel Standard, the new regulations requiring producers to reduce the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel fuel, originally scheduled to be implemented this year, have been pushed back until 2023.
Sure hope we don’t see gas riots!
As NATO summit ends, Canada promises more military aid to Ukraine
Canada is set to provide the Ukrainian armed forces with more than three dozen new armoured personnel and some new drone cameras, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said as the NATO leaders’ summit in Madrid ended Thursday.
Additionally, Canada will host two new NATO research centres, one which will focus on new security challenges brought on by climate change and another which will focus purely on solving defence and security problems and inventing new defence technology.
OTTAWA – New federal regulations to force down the greenhouse gas emissions from gasoline and diesel will cost Canadians up to 13 cents more per litre at the pump by 2030.
An impact analysis of the Clean Fuel Regulations published Wednesday estimates they will cut about 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2030, or five to six per cent of what Canada needs to eliminate to meet its current targets for that year.
It will cost between $22.6 billion and $46.6 billion for refineries and other fuel suppliers to comply, or an average of about $151 per tonne of emissions reduced.
A vast majority of drivers say they’re worried they won’t be able to afford the cost to fill up at the pumps this summer as record gas prices continue to climb, according to the results of a recent survey.
As the average price for regular gasoline topped the $2-per-litre mark earlier this month, 69 per cent of Canadian respondents to an Ipsos Poll conducted exclusively for Global News said they were concerned they might not be able to afford gas.
It’s deliberate. And don’t buy that BS about electric cars. They want you impoverished and unable to drive anything.
Will there be riots?
