“Net-Zero Tyranny”

In the past few weeks European farmers have taken to the streets of their capitals to advertise a rebellious mood that few expected to see.

Having enjoyed a comfortable life for decades, thanks to subsidies from their respective governments and the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), they were not expected to invade the grand capitals, together with their sheep, cows and tractors, with a litany of woes.

The question of food security was first raised after World War II as a top priority for Western European nations as they tried to rebuild their shattered economies.

Had enough of advocates for green energy technology who promise the sun and the moon in terms of efficiency and cost savings only to have this new tech crap out the moment it’s needed most?

Fed up with an armada of state-of-the-art electric buses where none of the buses work nearly as well as promised and at least half of them are broken down in the garage at any given time?

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, even by his own insufferable standards, had quite a week. It was as rough as the road network that he knows all too well as a Montreal MP.

Addressing a group of transit advocates on Monday, Guilbeault felt himself amongst fellow radicals and announced that the Trudeau government “has made the decision to stop investing at the federal level in new road infrastructure” because “the analysis we have done is that the network is perfectly adequate to respond to the needs we have.”

The federal government is ruling out any future pauses or exemptions to the carbon price, despite still-high inflation numbers contributing to the cost of living, according to Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon.

On Tuesday, the federal government announced a rebrand of its highly controversial carbon-pricing program(opens in a new tab), changing the name of the quarterly rebate from the Climate Action Incentive Payment to the Canada Carbon Rebate.

The federal Conservatives LOVE Steven Guilbeault.

No, I haven’t got that wrong. I don’t mean Guilbeault is loved by his own Liberals.

WHOA, DAWG.

That sound you hear is the beginning of the implosion of the Climate Action 100 group, a cabal of some of the largest investment firms on Earth. They are dedicated to enforcing and monitoring the companies they invest in to force them to focus on and execute strategies to achieve the climate cult’s greenhouse gas goals. In other words, if you don’t follow the Green initiative dictates for carbon reduction, etc you don’t receive your financing from these people.

It’s absurd that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals believe that rebranding their “climate action incentive payments” as “Canada carbon rebates” is what’s needed to fix their carbon tax.

An ideologically charged Canadian federal government “green” program offering homeowners government money to switch their reliable heating oil furnaces for less reliable electric heat pumps has been a dismal failure, according to recently released records.

A recent Inquiry Of Ministry, as per Blacklock’s Reporter, tabled in the House of Commons showed that only 80 homeowners have thus far opted into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government heat pump program.

Oh I’m betting the usual Liberal graft greased connected palms.

In a little-noticed presentation on Dec. 9, 2023, at COP28 in Dubai, a panel of soil experts presented the case for cows as climate allies, not gas-spewing destroyers. The event, titled “Conscious Livestock Rearing and Soil Health,” discussed “animal rearing’s impact on soil health, and its place as a part of the climate solution.” Contrary to the anti-cow cacophony of the climate crisis crowd, these experts explained the vital role ruminants like cows play in nourishing and rebuilding precious soils. It turns out, grazing cows sequester massive amounts of carbon.

Progressive politicians hoping to triumph over right-leaning political adversaries can only succeed if they can do a better job of bridging their lofty goals with people’s day-to-day struggles.

Who said so? Justin Trudeau, that’s who. The prime minister told a roomful of progressives at a conference in Montreal last fall that politicians who don’t respond to issues affecting the daily lives of citizens are not going to connect with them.

Liberals rebrand Canada’s carbon tax rebate

The federal government is rebranding the carbon tax rebate.

Previously known as the Climate Action Incentive Payment, the Liberals are now calling it the “Canada Carbon Rebate.”

The news of the new name for the existing rebate program was first broken via a Finance Canada press release touting the amount Canadians will be reimbursed this year. It was subsequently announced by a series of ministers in Ottawa on Wednesday.
