Ottawa unveils net-zero scam to phase out oil-fired furnaces and support heat pumps

The federal government says it has a plan to start phasing out the use of oil-fired furnaces in new construction and get homeowners and businesses to switch to heat pumps over the next several years.

The finalized Canada Green Buildings Strategy, which is being released today, outlines Ottawa’s priorities for decarbonizing buildings — the third-largest source of climate-altering carbon emissions in Canada.

The strategy does not target natural gas and propane heating sources. While the document doesn’t explain in any detail how Ottawa means to phase out oil-fired furnaces, Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said the federal government intends to use regulations and investments to encourage the switch to heat pumps.

At What Temperature Do Heat Pumps Become Ineffective?

Ultimately, the efficiency of heat pump systems depends on their temperature range, which is determined by the type of system you have. Most air-source and water-source heat pumps will become less efficient when temperatures drop below their respective ranges. That is -13°F (air source heat pump) or 45°F (water source).

Geothermal systems are designed to be more resistant to extreme cold weather but can still become ineffective if temperatures dip too low. For geothermal heat pumps, the ideal working temperature range is between 40°F and 75°F (4°C and 24°C).

Geothermal systems are expensive and not an option for many.

RCMP has struggled to staff unit dedicated to protection of politicians, records show

The RCMP has been struggling for years to fulfill demands from the federal government that it bolster the ranks of officers who protect politicians, yet that unit has remained significantly short-staffed, records show.

The records, which were filed publicly as part of a labour board dispute, illustrate the challenges the RCMP will face during the scheduled 2025 federal election, when politicians across Canada will be campaigning amid a polarizing political climate.

Diane Francis: Lavish condo purchased for consul general in New York epitomizes Trudeau’s profligacy

Last week was a busy one for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Leaks undermining his finance minister surfaced, as did reports that he was courting former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. But the biggest splash was in the New York Post, which reported that Canada quietly spent US$6.63 million (C$9 million) to buy a lavish condo overlooking Central Park on Billionaires’ Row in Manhattan, which we later learned is meant to house our consul general, former broadcaster Tom Clark.

‘Without consequence’: Intelligence memos warn of runaway political violence online

The torrent of online threats against public officials has led some Canadians to believe they can threaten, encourage and cheer on political violence with impunity, newly released government documents warn.

Canadian intelligence officials say threatening rhetoric is increasingly seen as a legitimate way to express frustrations, grievances and dissent, fuelling a surge of often violent threats against elected and public officials.

Christopher Dummitt: Liberal MPs have the power to replace Trudeau — they just have to take it

The American Democratic party and the Canadian Liberal party both have the same problem: how to get rid of a leader who ought to know enough to resign on his own?

It’s anyone’s guess if U.S. President Joe Biden will step aside. But the Canadian Liberals should have an easy solution: if they could only remember that we live in a British-style parliamentary democracy, they could be rid of their Justin Trudeau problem.

‘It’s all out war now’: Liberal MPs, senior Grits predict a ‘volatile’ summer with ‘lots of political games’

If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to shuffle his cabinet or make any changes to his team of senior political aides, he should do so as soon as possible to calm caucus members’ jittery nerves as unfolding events are creating an atmosphere of unpredictability for the governing party, say Liberal MPs.

“It’s better to have it now. People expect there’s going to be some change, and that we need to see that change happen soon so that people can move on with their lives,” said one Liberal MP who spoke on a not-for-attribution basis to share their candid views. “Whether it’s leadership [change] in the PMO, in the party—definitely cabinet—[or a] change in orientation in moving to the centre.”

Canada Said to Have Mapped Out Secret Chinese Police Operations

Canada has done a detailed mapping of what it says are covert Chinese police operations within its borders and wants to explore a response with Group of Seven allies to a challenge faced by several nations.

The issue of Beijing allegedly setting up unofficial “police stations” in Western democracies — to monitor and intimidate members of the Chinese diaspora — has become a growing concern. Canada, the US, Italy, Germany and the UK have all grappled with the problem.

The best and brightest don’t want to stay in Canada. I should know: I’m one of the few in my engineering class who did

I’m used to seeing my friends pack up bags and move to the United States. Most of my graduating class of software engineering at the University of Waterloo decamped for the U.S. right after graduating in 2019. The few who stayed back, have strongly considered moving or have gradually made the jump since.

Recent data shows that this trend is accelerating and is no longer isolated to tech. According to data from the U.S. census, more than 126,000 people from Canada moved to the United States in 2022, a 70 per cent increase from 2021 and one of the highest numbers seen yet.

With more people living in Hamilton parks, council looks at new options for encampments

At the edge of a east-end Hamilton park, Lisa Bartlett carefully wipes dirt off her belongings after heavy rainfall partially collapsed and flooded her tent.

Living in an encampment is hard, said Bartlett, 50.

It’s often uncomfortable and unsafe, she added.

She wears a whistle she around her neck and carries a can of hairspray to ward off anyone who seems dangerous.

Poll: Liberals continue to lose young voters thanks to housing crisis they created with harmful mass immigration scheme

“… The latest Nanos federal ballot tracking has the Conservatives now at 41.0 per cent, 15 points ahead of the Liberals at 25.7 per cent. The NDP, meanwhile, are sitting at 17.3 per cent, the Bloc at 8.9 per cent, the Green Party at 4.2 per cent and the Peoples Party at 2.6 per cent.

Nanos says it’s young people, who he called a swing-voting block, appear to be deserting the Liberal government.

“In 2015, Justin Trudeau built his majority around many enthusiastic and positively minded young people who were progressive,” he said. “Fast forward now, and those same young people have deserted the Liberals and are looking at the Conservatives probably because of the anxiety and frustration they are having with the rising cost of living and housing.”

Justin Trudeau is reckoning with the decision of his political life. Here’s why few know what he will do

This is a moment of reckoning for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The question of whether to stay or go, or to deliver some other kind of dramatic change the Liberal caucus is clamouring for, is one of the most sensitive and solitary exercises a prime minister can undertake.

Sometimes the moment arrives when bitter internal rivalries push a leader out, as happened to Jean Chrétien. Sometimes it comes on the night of a general election defeat, as it did for Paul Martin and Stephen Harper.

Canadian Real Estate Weakens As People Flee Toronto & Vancouver

Canadian real estate didn’t get a boost from a recent rate cut. That’s good news, according to BMO’s latest research note. The bank broke down CREA’s June update on existing home sales, and believes this is what the Bank of Canada (BoC) would like to see. Cheaper credit didn’t suddenly spark exuberant demand, potentially clearing the way for more rate cuts. However, BMO warns the data is driven by just one major factor—people fleeing the country’s largest markets, Toronto and Vancouver. This same trend is also helping to boost prices in traditionally affordable regions, creating a split market driven by the same issue.
