Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Liberal jobs programs, business investment pools and economic plans all have one thing in common: they are obsessed with the skin colour and sexuality of the workforce.

On Thursday, Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson tabled Bill C-50, or the Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act. The bill provides a legislative backdrop to the feds’ broader sustainable jobs plan, which (if not obvious from the name) is geared at boosting job growth in the low-carbon sector. If passed, Bill C-50 would require the Minister of Natural Resources to make five-year jobs plans, adhere to various reporting requirements and assemble an advisory council to guide the execution of the plan.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a summer special for taxpayers: A second carbon tax.

On July 1, the Trudeau government’s second carbon tax will take effect. Trudeau buried the tax in fuel regulations that require producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels. If companies can’t meet the requirements, they’ll be forced to buy credits. Those costs will be passed on to consumers through higher pump prices.

Whatever you call it — Just Transition, Clean Transition or the Sustainable Jobs Act — the “green” energy legislation introduced by the Trudeau Liberals on Thursday answers none of Alberta’s legitimate concerns. It ignores Premier Danielle Smith’s offer, made the night she was re-elected, to sit down with the feds for joint discussions on emission reductions, and how best to achieve them.

OTTAWA — The federal government failed to spend billions of dollars it pledged on a host of climate change initiatives in recent years, raising questions about one of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s core policy commitments and the massive funding publicly devoted to it, a Star analysis has found.

The revelation sheds light on the sometimes stark difference between what the government intends to do and what it delivers. It also highlights concerns about whether the federal bureaucracy can meet the climate crisis with the urgency it demands, as the Trudeau Liberals boast of making $200 billion in long-term “climate commitments” since they took office in 2015.
