Trudeau gov’t denies appeals from Newfoundland and Labrador to pause crippling clean fuel regulations
Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has refused Newfoundland and Labrador’s request to pause clean fuel regulations as Maritimers are struggling to make ends meet.
Double standards on climate change
While Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was in Beijing this week, ostensibly to discuss ways China and Canada can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, a new report warned China is massively expanding it use of coal to produce power.
ULEZ vandals damage ‘a quarter of all new cameras in expansion zone’ amid backlash over Sadiq Khan’s ultra-low emissions scheme
At least a quarter of the cameras in London’s newly expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone have been damaged by vandals, new data reveals.
Campaigners this week have stepped up efforts to deface the cameras installed in wake of mayor Sadiq Khan’s controversial extension of the scheme, which is now clobbering thousands more drivers with £12.50 a day charges.
A crowd-sourced map appears to show that 450 of the 1,762 cameras installed to monitor cars in the zone are damaged or missing, The Telegraph reported.
Dear World,
Take hope from this London, UK Video, that normal people will rise up in whatever way necessary, against the Globalist Tyrants seeking to control us all.
These ULEZ cameras are designed to take the poorest in societies cars & therefore their mobility by making… pic.twitter.com/veyhUIABsz

GOLDSTEIN: China says its coal emissions are no big deal — over to you, Steven Guilbeault
While Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was in Beijing this week to discuss ways China and Canada can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, one of China’s major state-run media organizations wrote an editorial headlined “Western concerns about China’s coal power growth unnecessary.”
London’s revolt against the Ulez scam is set to shatter politics as we know it
When I wrote in April that Sadiq Khan could be ousted because of his persecution of motorists, my suggestion was widely panned as delusional. Didn’t I realise that nobody owns a car in our capital city, that London is a Labour rotten borough and that the Tories are finished?
My argument doesn’t look so silly today. The mayor’s nasty, vindictive Ulez cash grab has triggered a wave of French-style civil disobedience, radicalised an outer suburbia that the snooty inner London elite had long forgotten even existed, lost Labour a parliamentary seat it could otherwise have won, and exposed the exorbitant cost to our pocketbooks and freedom of the rush to net zero.

Commie Guilbeault’s Suncor criticism shows ‘utter contempt’ for Alberta, premier says
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the federal environment minister’s criticism of a major oilsands company constitutes a “provocative” verbal attack on Alberta’s energy sector.
“Steven Guilbeault has once again shown his utter contempt for Alberta, our economy and our energy workers,” reads a statement attributed to the premier, released on Wednesday.
“Minister Guilbeault’s comments are a continuation of his provocative verbal attacks on Alberta’s energy sector, the most environmentally responsible and ethical energy-producing jurisdiction in the world.”
REMEMBER TO DONATE TO BLAZINGCATFUR’S FUNDRAISER
It’s not a conspiracy theory – there really is a war on the car
Of all the callous things the state could do to its citizens during a cost-of-living crisis, making them pay to drive their own cars is surely one of the worst. As if it wasn’t bad enough that the cost of foodstuffs has risen by 15 per cent, now you’ll have to pay through the nose just to get to the shop that sells those foodstuffs. As if it wasn’t tough enough forking out for your kids’ school uniforms and stationery, now you’ll have to pay for the privilege of dropping the kids at the schoolgates. As if it wasn’t hard enough getting time off work to visit your poorly mother in a care home, now you’ll have to stump up £12.50 to get to that care home.

Over 1,600 Scientists Sign ‘No Climate Emergency’ Declaration
International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth, contrary to the popular alarmist narrative.
“There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

GUNTER: Ridiculous bans and EV targets are the last straw
Those godawful paper straws may be as bad for the environment as plastic ones — and worse for your health.
What’s next? Hollow reeds?
GREEN: Trudeau government’s anti-plastic crusade enters dangerous territory
Having banned some single-use plastics of convenience (straws, cutlery, etc.), the Trudeau government has turned its sights on plastics of necessity, including plastic films to keep foods isolated from contamination, protect them from pests and destructive oxidation, and help keep them cold, which is critical to preventing microbial contamination and spoilage.
This is a major turning point in the Trudeau government’s war on plastics, which incidentally fails on economic and environmental grounds. Even if its “Zero Plastic Waste by 2030” program was to work, it would prevent a paltry increase from 0.02-0.03% to 0.023-0.033% of global plastic pollution, an undetectable reduction of three-thousandths of 1% by the government’s own admission.
Study punches holes in theory that paper straws better than plastic
Paper straws suck, according to a new study.
While Canada continues to ramp up its efforts to ban the distribution of single-use plastics, including straws, it turns out the paper alternative might not the most ideal replacement.
Commie Lunatic Guilbeault vows to destroy oil sector
Suncor’s revised focus on oil production proof of need for emissions cap: Guilbeault
OTTAWA – Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says he is more convinced than ever of the need to regulate emissions in the oil and gas industry, following a prominent CEO’s comments about refocusing his company on oil production.
Suncor CEO Rich Kruger told investors in a conference call on Aug. 15 that the company had a “disproportionate” focus on the longer-term energy transition to low-emitting and renewable fuels.
Everything the Trudeau government does is a threat to our physical and economic security.
China continues coal spree despite climate goals
China is approving new coal power projects at the equivalent of two plants every week, a rate energy watchdogs say is unsustainable if the country hopes to achieve its energy targets.
The government has pledged to peak emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2060, and in 2021 the president, Xi Jinping, promised to stop building coal powered plants abroad.
But after regional power crunches in 2022, China started a domestic spree of approving new projects and restarting suspended ones. In 2022 the government approved a record-breaking 106 gigawatts (GW) of new coal-fired power capacity. One gigawatt is the equivalent of a large coal power plant
China has been using a Trudeau government funded Canadian think tank to bolster its green image for the last 4 years, critics say
China is using Canadian think tank to fund and bolster its green image, critics say
Funded by the federal government, a Canadian think tank has for four years been acting as the international secretariat for a Chinese environmental agency headed by one of Beijing’s most powerful Communist Party leaders.
Its little-known role adds to an unusual, longstanding and controversial collaboration between Canada and the Chinese government-founded agency. Touted as an advisory body for policy makers in Beijing, the council is accused by critics of being part of China’s vast global influence machine.
