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.

Canada’s carbon tax is dead. But it’s not dearly departed

Here lies Canada’s carbon price, which exited our earthly realm on March 31, 2025.

Mark Carney, mere hours after becoming Prime Minister, signed the death certificate in front of TV cameras he had summoned to witness the act. In that final moment, the carbon price was surrounded by many ministers who had spent years defending it in increasingly half-hearted tones. At its deathbed, they were silent.

The policy is survived by the thriving political career of the flexible and pragmatic Mr. Carney, and by that of a wistful and slightly too effective Pierre Poilievre. It was predeceased by Justin Trudeau’s political career.


It won’t be dead until a stake is driven through its heart.

Trump’s UN speech reveals inconvenient truth of massive green energy costs

At the Sept. 23, 2025, U.N. General Assembly, President Donald Trump drew global headlines by blasting what he called the “extreme cost” of the green transition, arguing that climate alarmism is impoverishing ordinary people while enriching elites. Whatever one thinks of Trump’s rhetoric, he touched on an inconvenient truth: despite endless assurances from campaigners and institutions like the U.N., World Bank, and World Economic Forum, wind and solar are still not delivering cheap energy. In fact, they are making electricity more expensive.

This is why he is the Greatest!

$2.2 billion solar plant in California scheduled to be turned off after years of wasted money: ‘Never lived up to its promises’

Seen from the sky, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert resembles a futuristic dream.

Viewed from the bottom line, however, Ivanpah is anything but.

The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build.

Canada, other fossil fuel-producing nations, derailing world climate targets, report says

Canada and other major fossil fuel-producing countries are derailing the world’s chance to hit key climate change targets, a new international report suggests, with 2030 production levels expected to be more than double what would be compatible with the Paris agreement.

While some countries have committed to a clean energy transition, others appear to be turning back to “an outdated fossil-fuel dependent playbook,” the report said.

“The continued collective failure of governments to curb fossil fuel production and lower global emissions means that future production will need to decline more steeply to compensate,” states the Production Gap Report, which was  produced by three climate research non-profits.

I could care less what a few cranks think.

GOLDSTEIN: How Canada’s electric vehicle dream became a nightmare

Federal and provincial taxpayers are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the future of electric vehicle production in Canada.

At stake is the future of up to $52.5 billion the federal, Ontario and Quebec governments have earmarked since 2020 to create an EV vehicle and battery supply chain in Canada from scratch — $31.4 billion or 60% coming from the feds, $21.1 billion or 40% from the provinces.
