“We think this is a significant step forward,” Guilbeault said to reporters shortly after the opening of the Canadian pavilion at COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The EU wants to SEIZE your old car to meet climate goals

The EU is now finding more ways to take away your freedoms. They want to take away ownership of your old car and scrap it! Yes, you read that correctly.

The EU has something called End-of-life vehicles directive, and they are looking to expand this to become so draconian that it reminds of something that would have happened in the Communist Soviet Union.

Alberta uses Sovereignty Act for 1st time. What happens now?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she’s using the province’s Sovereignty Act for the first time to challenge Ottawa’s requirements to have a net-zero electricity grid by 2035.

Smith said she wanted to invoke the act to send a message that her government is serious about pushing back against Ottawa’s plan to green Canada’s electricity grid by 2035, a plan she says could wreak havoc on Alberta’s natural gas-based grid.

COP28: UAE planned to use climate talks to make oil deals

The United Arab Emirates planned to use its role as the host of UN climate talks as an opportunity to strike oil and gas deals, the BBC has learned.

Leaked briefing documents reveal plans to discuss fossil fuel deals with 15 nations.

The UN body responsible for the COP28 summit told the BBC hosts were expected to act without bias or self-interest.

The UAE team did not deny using COP28 meetings for business talks, and said “private meetings are private”.

I’m sure some of the UN boys have had their palms greased. Which Canadians attended?

Danielle Smith to invoke Sovereignty Act on Ottawa power rules Monday

The Danielle Smith government intends to put its Sovereignty Act into action on Monday to shield Alberta power companies from the proposed federal clean electricity regulations, as CBC News first reported Friday.

The province will use the controversial law to introduce a resolution in the legislature that declares Ottawa’s plan to slash grid emissions an unconstitutional federal measure, and spell out ways the regulations would not be enforced in Alberta, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Trudeau criticizes Conservatives on Canada-Ukraine trade deal in front of European leaders

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Conservatives of using a “frankly absurd excuse” to vote against the updated Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement, and said that “all Canadians should be concerned” about the Opposition turning its back to Ukraine.

Conservatives have dismissed any suggestions that they do not support Ukraine’s fight against Russia or that they do not support free trade, after they voted against C-57, a bill that would implement a revised trade deal between Canada and Ukraine, earlier this week.

What an ass.

Foreign workers at subsidized EV battery plant a ‘slap in the face’: union

NextStar Energy Inc. says it expects upwards of 900 foreign workers to help build its heavily subsidized electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont. The head of Canada’s Building Trades Unions calls the move “a slap in the face” and an “insult to Canadian taxpayers.”

The statement from the union comes as the use of the workers has become a political issue on Parliament Hill, raising questions and concerns over the course of the past week from federal leaders.

Justin Trudeau created 900 good green jobs for Koreans coming to Windsor to help build EV battery plant

Amid pushback over plans to use foreign workers, NextStar Energy has confirmed it wants to hire hundreds of technicians from South Korea to help set up the government-subsidized electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont.

The company said Thursday that, in total, about 1,600 equipment manufacturers from outside suppliers will be assembling, installing and testing the equipment needed to make the batteries, including a “temporary specialized global supplier staff” of around 900, largely from South Korea.

It’s the first time the company has commented on how many workers it wants in Canada to work on the project, in the wake of backlash over a social media post shared by Windsor police that suggested the city would be welcoming 1,600 people from South Korea in 2024.

Majority of Canadians want carbon price pause on all home heating fuel: poll

A new poll suggests Canadians are broadly in favour of the federal government’s decision to exempt home heating oil from its price on carbon, and would welcome expanding the relief to all forms of home heating fuel.

The governing Liberals announced last month a three-year reprieve from the carbon price for property owners who depend on heating oil, along with funding to help people make the switch to electric heat pumps.
