“Net-Zero Tyranny”

GOLDSTEIN: Is Canada’s $52.5-billion bet on EVs going bust?

The Canadian government is waving around Canada’s “public” health-care system like they are handing out free candy trying to entice people from around the world to come here to take advantage of it and the taxpayers who pay for it.

Electric-vehicle companies urge Ottawa to stay on the communist path and keep sales mandate

Electric-vehicle companies urge Ottawa to maintain EV sales mandate

The electric-vehicle industry says the federal government’s move away from EV sales targets undermines the Canadian sector while threatening investment and job creation.

The government said in September it was dropping the requirement that 20 per cent of car sales be EVs in 2026, and launching a review of the entire program, which raised the requirement to 100 per cent by 2035.

I wonder who has lined up dealership rights for ChiCom EV’s?

STIRLING: ‘Climate Barbie’ and the cost of virtue-signalling

In 2019, Catherine McKenna declared a climate emergency. In a recent Nate Erskine-Smith interview with McKenna, about her new book “Run Like a Girl,” he has a telling sentence that certainly most Western Canadians will “get it in their guts.” At about 30 minutes into the interview, Erskine-Smith recounts several of McKenna’s initiatives, noting that the carbon tax gets the most attention, but she is also responsible for imposing stringent methane rules on agriculture and industry, the Clean Electricity Standard, and the industrial carbon price. BTW, she also introduced the “no more pipelines” Bill C-69 in 2018.

Ottawa admits EV charging plan is falling far short despite billions spent

Ottawa’s billion-dollar push to build electric vehicle chargers has sputtered, with only a fraction of promised stations built and no proof the project will actually cut emissions, according to a new federal audit.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the Department of Natural Resources admitted its Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, launched in 2019, is far behind schedule and may not deliver meaningful results even if completed.

Yours truly predicted the EV Charger scam would be the next Green-Scam scandal.

Canada’s former minister of climate grifting on making a change, ‘aloof’ Trudeau and sexism

Canada’s former climate minister on making a change, ‘aloof’ Trudeau and sexism

Imagine there was a truck heading directly for your children. What would you do? Surely everything in your power to save them, including jumping in its way? Catherine McKenna, formerly the Canadian minister for environment and climate change, borrows this analogy for the climate crisis from a colleague to argue that we need to use “all the tools at our disposal” to tackle devastating danger that is already with us.

McKenna has recently published Run Like a Girl, which documents her time in government, among other things. Peppered with inspirational quotes, personal photos and campaign memorabilia, Run Like a Girl isn’t a straightforward memoir. She wrote it for “women and young people who want to make change”.

KEENEY: The Lost Eden: Net zero and the politics of illusion

The demise of climate alarmism has become, almost overnight, a fashionable subject of speculation.

For decades, dissenters from climate orthodoxy were dismissed as “deniers.” Yet the alarmist consensus was never truly “settled science.” Climate models reinforced elite biases, exaggerated risks, and justified technocratic control. Ordinary people, sensing the vast uncertainties and politicized data, met the sweeping claims and alarmist rhetoric of climatists with justified skepticism.

Canadian electric-truck maker Edison Motors driven to the brink by tariffs, postal strike

Chace Barber remembers when his biggest worry was U.S. tariffs.

The president of Edison Motors, an electric trucking business, set up the company’s first manufacturing and product testing site in January on a sprawling 300-acre property in Golden B.C., once the divisional headquarters for Canadian Pacific Railway. The location was perfect. The timing was not.

After exodus of major banks, Mark Carney-launched net-zero scam shuts down

A global banking group that Prime Minister Mark Carney helped launch in 2021 to fight climate change has voted to shut down.

A spokesperson for the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance says members voted to end the membership-based structure and instead use the climate guidance the group created as a reference.

As a result of the vote, the alliance is ending operations immediately.

Basically the banks would rip off customers and tax payers to line their pockets while virtue signaling about their climate savvy business acumen.

Catherine McKenna’s memoir trashes Trudeau. So why was the carbon-tax-killing Carney spared?

When Prime Minister Mark Carney walked into the Ottawa book launch for Catherine McKenna’s memoir Run Like a Girl last week, it raised a few eyebrows.

The big achievement of Ms. McKenna as environment minister in Justin Trudeau’s government, after all, was the carbon tax. But Mr. Carney, formerly a tree-hugger in good standing, changed the Liberal course and killed it. This obviously angered the climate-crusading Ms. McKenna while delighting her many haters on the hard right who’d given her the derisive moniker “Climate Barbie.”

Climatism in Europe is Dying

On September 25th 2018, US President Donald Trump delivered his first speech before the United Nations General Assembly. At one point he warned Germany about its plans for Nord Stream 2, which he said would make the country “totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course”. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) and Permanent UN Representative Christoph Heusgen laughed in his face.

Canada Is Falling for China’s Climate Promises the Same Way the West Fell for Beijing’s WTO Myths

Ottawa is once again easing closer to Beijing, this time under the banner of climate policy. The suggestion is that Canada should welcome China’s pledges on carbon neutrality and treat them as an opportunity for common ground on net-zero emissions. On the surface, it looks pragmatic. In practice, it is naive. Canada risks mistaking performance for progress, applauding promises while ignoring the record of the world’s largest polluter, while granting Beijing the leverage it seeks through climate diplomacy.

McTEAGUE: To end the trade war, scrap the EV mandate

To anyone who thought that the Liberals’ decision to postpone enforcement of their Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate by one year was part of a well-thought-out plan to get that disastrous program back on track, well, every day brings with it news that you were wrong. In fact, the whole project seems to be coming apart at the seams.

Did Obama Falsify Climate Data?

A new report by the Lancet published August 3 reiterates what media repeats daily: plastics are causing diseases, dementia and death. But the article makes it obvious that it is not the manufacturing or use of plastics; it is the recycling. Their solution is more Green spending, not less. No reversal. Burying plastics is safe and easy but never discussed because it would save money. Big Green interests have made trillions of dollars browning the earth and they refuse to stop. When did worldwide panic and spending dramatically accelerate? Buried within these top 100 facts about the green energy carnage is a hidden and here-to-fore uncovered, egregious fraud.
