Canada will soon end ‘inefficient’ fossil fuel subsidies. But what does that mean?

Canada has for years forked over billions of dollars in subsidies to oil and gas companies — an approach that critics say flies in the face of the country’s climate goals, and impinges on efforts to turn toward renewable energy sources.

Now, the federal government is preparing to release a new policy that will put an end to “inefficient fossil fuel subsidies,” a commitment Canada made more than a decade ago.

A spokesperson for Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the new policy will be released in July.

Because wind and sun are so reliable and need no subsidy.

Conrad Black: The lunatic left hijacked the environment for anti-capitalist ends

The recent fog that settled briefly on many northeastern cities from Ottawa to Philadelphia as a result of unusually extensive forest fires in Quebec and northern Ontario led to the predictable conscription of this freakish event as further evidence of the need to assault the oil and gas industry and ratchet up the cost of living of practically everyone. This is part of the self-assigned Canadian mission of saving the planet from the capitalists. There is never much of a respite from outbursts of delusional absurdities of the climate extremists. I’m not a climate denier but I am a resolute and vociferous opponent of hare-brained, self-punitive, instant cures for problems whose causes, proportions, and possible solutions are not fully known to us.

Sweden Dumps Climate Agenda, Scraps Green Energy Targets

Sweden has just dealt a severe blow to the globalist climate agenda by scraping its green energy targets.

In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.”

Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements.

Sweden is becoming a normal country, unlike Crazy Canada.

Rex Murphy: Liberals come for Alberta oil workers with mistitled sustainable jobs act

The title of the act is a lie. It is not about sustaining jobs. It is about killing jobs

Is it that they don’t know better? Or they simply do not care? It has to be both.

The most arrogant, blundering government in modern times is fixated on devastating the most essential industry Canada has; on stopping the production of the most essential resource of the modern world. The resource that makes the world work: energy.

Greta and the green war on the working class

Every act of green activism seems designed to make life harder for working people.

Picture the daughter of an opera singer preventing working-class men from doing their jobs. A young woman so well-connected that she probably has presidents on speed-dial physically blocking truck drivers from doing what they do. A child of privilege gathering with her similarly comfortable pals to stop working people from working.

Tories Say Sustainable Jobs Act Will Cause Significant Job Loss

The Conservative Party says the Liberal government’s recently introduced Sustainable Jobs Act will “kill thousands of jobs” across Canada as it aims to move oil- and gas-sector workers into green-energy jobs over the coming years.

Conservative MP and natural resources critic Shannon Stubbs said in a statement on June 19 that the proposed Bill C-50—which has been referred to as the federal “just transition” legislation—is a “job-killing plan” that will displace “450,000 direct and indirect jobs” across the country.

Alberta, Saskatchewan Premiers Won’t Implement Ottawa’s Sustainable Jobs Act

The Prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are united in their opposition to Ottawa’s sustainable jobs act and net-zero plan.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told reporters on June 14 that his province will not be implementing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ‘Just Transition’ legislation, as Bill C-50 has been called, and will also not be taking part in any discussions.

Giant U.S. subsidies begin luring Canadian clean tech companies and talent to move south

The timing couldn’t have been better for Calgary-based Kanin Energy to open an office in Texas last year. It was just as the U.S. government unveiled its massive climate bill, including tens of billions of dollars in new subsidies and other incentives for clean energy.

Kanin Energy develops facilities that use high temperature waste heat from industrial facilities to produce electricity. The new U.S. subsidies now cover up to half the cost of those projects.

“Not only are we seeing a lot of traction in Houston and Texas and in the United States in general, now there’s all these incentives that have really turbocharged our economics for our projects,” Janice Tran, the company’s CEO, said from her office in Houston. “So it made even more sense to actually kind of double down and grow here.”

It’s corporate welfare on a massive scale and the tax payer foots the bill.

Man charged with setting massive Yosemite park fire initially blamed on climate change

A 71-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly starting a devastating massive forest fire in Yosemite National Park that was previously thought to have been caused by climate change.

Edward Fredrick Wackerman of Mariposa, Calif., was busted Friday on suspicion of arson for allegedly igniting the Oak Fire, which destroyed 127 homes, caused thousands of people to evacuate and ravaged nearly 20,000 acres of vegetation in July 2022.

Citizen mutiny across Europe raises doubts about net zero

Strict climate laws have riled households and farmers on the continent, while Biden has cushioned the blow with generous incentives. What’s the right mix between carrot and stick?

In the beginning there was fire. Just as cavemen once crouched around the flames, so coal scuttles and mantelpieces became the focus of modern life. “There’s an emotional connection between people and combustible energy sources,” says the environmental historian Melanie Arndt of Albert Ludwig University, Freiburg.

Now coal is on its way out, so are wood burners, and governments in Europe are poking in people’s cellars, telling them to change their living habits in the next few months. That’s how Germans are beginning to see it and it’s no good telling them that they voted for it. As the net zero deadlines gallop closer, as states get tougher in their restrictions, so political tensions are starting to crackle across Europe.

Jamie Sarkonak: Identity politics baked into new Liberal ‘sustainable’ jobs plan

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.

Twenty-four reasons why Net Zero must be abandoned

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and all other so-called climate science organisations including the Met Office, the International Energy Agency and the Grantham Institute use selective data, spurious data, falsified data (outright lies) and garbage-in-garbage-out computer models to scare gullible politicians and the public about a non-existent impending climate catastrophe. They also, wickedly, prevent any sceptical or dissenting views, or empirical data which demolishes their claims, from being published or aired.

UN Climate agency distorts science, promotes green industry lobby

The dubious “ problem” of purported global warming has become a key driver of public policy, bringing social coercion and huge capital allocations by governments and corporations across the world.

Thus, very skeptical scrutiny should be brought to bear on proposals for frantic “ urgent action” on this matter. Trillions of dollars and millions of lives are at stake, depending on their recommendations and proposals.

Taxpayers better brace for Trudeau’s two carbon taxes

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.
