RCMP says there are ongoing investigations into ‘green slush fund’ as House is ‘ground to a halt’

OTTAWA — Two months after telling MPs that the RCMP had not found any evidence of criminal wrongdoing surrounding the so-called “green slush fund,” RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme now says there are “ongoing investigations” into the embattled fund.

Duheme made the comment to reporters Thursday after the National Post asked if the RCMP had concerns about receiving documents on the government fund, officially known as Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), through an order from the House of Commons.

Liberals tell Canadians: Buy more electric cars!

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne has urged Canadians to buy electric vehicles (EVs), emphasizing the need for greater uptake as part of the government’s climate goals.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Champagne made the remarks during a Commons industry committee meeting, where he acknowledged that more work is needed to boost adoption of EVs despite existing federal incentives.

Net Zero is becoming synonymous with economic suicide

If any two commodities were central to the industrial revolution, they were coal and steel. Britain pioneered the mass production of both, launching a worldwide transformation that multiplied living standards many times over. And now, ironically, it looks as if, in an almost Maoist pursuit of global leadership in achieving Net Zero, we will be the first major developed country to close them both down. There is just one catch. In reality, that is economic suicide – and time is running out to do anything about it.

Trudeau Liberals’ internal combustion engine ban out of gas: poll

OTTAWA — Plans by the Trudeau Liberals to ban gas and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035 are driving Canadians around the bend, new poll numbers suggest.

A new Leger poll this week, commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Association, show only around 30% of respondents supporting the ban, which was formally announced last year by the government.

Liberals urge support for subsidized Swedish battery maker amid job cuts

Canadian taxpayers must “rally around” Northvolt, the Swedish electric vehicle battery manufacturer, despite significant setbacks, including confirmed job cuts at its Swedish operations, said Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne.

Blacklock’s Reporter says his comments came following Northvolt’s announcement of 1,600 layoffs, which the company attributed to “headwinds in the automotive market.”

Electric Vehicles: A Warning from Italy

“… Italy’s government has been sounding the alarm for some time. The country’s industry minister, Adolfo Urso, has now returned to this theme, describing the EU’s ban on sales of new traditional cars after 2035 as posing a “grave crisis” for its auto sector. He wants the ban (and, it can be assumed, the forced ratcheting down of conventional sales that precedes it) to be reviewed and revised.”

Canadians are not buying the ‘climate change’ narrative: government poll

Government polling reveals that most Canadians are not alarmed over “climate change” and will continue to eat meat.

According to in-house Privy Council research obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, over one third of Canadians think “climate change” could benefit Canada while almost half believe that “adapting to the impacts of climate change is cheaper than preventing it.”

SLOBODIAN: Trudeau’s personal first-world problem is ‘green’ energy

There was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau playing global messiah on Sunday at the UN General Assembly Summit of the Future in New York, and committing another $5 billion in Canadian taxpayer money to support the United Nations’ 2030 agenda.

Was the $50 billion in subsidies to Northvolt, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen and Stellantis to build EV battery plants in Ontario and Quebec not enough?

Trudeau strokes his ego at our expense.

‘It’s a complex issue’: Why Steven Guilbeault thinks the Liberals’ climate plan isn’t resonating

The environment minister tried to make the case that the plan is working and ruled out slowing down scheduled increases to the carbon tax

OTTAWA — Low in the polls and staring down the barrel of an election, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault tried to make a case.

That case, which the minister outlined before reporters gathered on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, was a simple one: The Liberals’ plan to tackle climate change is working and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants to cut it.

Terry Newman: Liberal embrace of lithium batteries is a toxic airborne event

Monday evening, at the Port of Montreal, a fire broke out in a container that was storing 15,000 kilograms of lithium batteries. The city issued a lockdown notice at 7:06 PM. Residents of the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough were told that it was “important to stay indoors, close doors, windows and ventilation systems for (their) safety.” The notice remained in effect until 10:57 PM when they ended the lockdown, assuring the public it was issued as a “precaution,” that the fire was now “under control,” even though the “operation could still take a few more hours,” and that “tests (had) confirmed that any danger to public health and safety (had) been ruled out.”

Tariffs on China’s Electric Vehicles Only a ‘Short Reprieve’ for Canada’s EV Sector, Trade Committee Hears

Ottawa’s tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) offer only a “short reprieve” for Canada’s EV industry, the Commons trade committee was told at a recent meeting about a month after the tariffs were announced in late August.

“This is basically a short reprieve—a temporary reprieve for Canadian manufacturers in the EV supply chain to basically step up to the plate and build the things that they have promised to build with investments from a lot of public dollars, and to actually get it started,” said Elizabeth Kwan, a senior researcher with the Canadian Labour Congress, on Sept. 16.

This sounds like an attempt to warn of the coming blow to Trudeau’s Soviet style EV investment strategy.

GOLDSTEIN: We pay far more than carbon taxes under federal climate policy

Heading into the next federal election, it’s important to understand that maintaining and increasing the federal carbon tax (Liberals) or killing it (Conservatives), accounts for only a fraction of the total costs Canadians are paying when it comes to addressing climate change.

TERRAZZANO: Trudeau’s two carbon taxes hammer Canadians

Another day, another government report proves carbon taxes are a drag on our economy that Canadians can’t afford.

In 2030, the second carbon tax “will result in an overall (Gross Domestic Product) decrease of up to $9 billion.” That’s according to government documents tabled in the House of Commons in response to an order paper question filed by Conservative MP John Barlow (Foothills).

JAY GOLDBERG: Thank Trudeau’s carbon tax for surging heating bills

Taxpayers better brace themselves for the bruising impact of the Trudeau government’s carbon tax on home heating bills this winter.

If you heat your home with natural gas, like more than 75% of Ontario households, you will be paying a lot more to stay warm.

The carbon tax increases the cost of natural gas by 15 cents per cubic metre.
