“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country.

FELDSTED: When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far


Canada Should Be Legally Bound to Its Climate Promises -- passing the 2009 Climate Change Accountability Act could close the gap between our country's ambitions and its actions.   
Cameron Fenton  ~~  350.org  / Huffington Post ~~  10/30/2018


During the recent House of Commons emergency climate debate, spurred by an alarming new UN climate change report, there were many politicians talking about the need for Canada to rise to the challenge of climate change. Many of these same politicians acknowledged that, right now, Canada's policies aren't enough to line up with what scientists are saying we need to do.

… it reminded me of the last time I was in the House of Commons watching Question Period. I was there supporting legislation that, if brought back, could close the gap between Canada's climate promises and our climate policy.

… I was in the House of Commons gallery with around 100 other young people from all across Canada … hundreds of youth from across the country had come to the nation's capital to rally for climate action — would spark some action from our elected leaders.

It didn't. Question Period droned on as if we weren't there, as if the Copenhagen climate summit wasn't a few weeks away and as if the existential threat of a scorched earth wasn't waiting in the wings.

Eventually, a few among us got fed up and started chanting … calling for the passage of Bill C-311, known as the Climate Change Accountability Act.



Mr. Fenton is entitled to his opinion, but he is must not to attack the constitutional sovereignty of Canada. Our elected representatives in Parliament cannot be bound by an agreement sponsored by the United Nations or any of its agencies. The Paris Agreement is a stack of useless verbiage.  

If he had bothered to read the text of the Paris agreement, he would discover that the agreement does not apply to all world nations and that there is no penalty for a nation that fails to meet agreement carbon emission targets. 


He should know that the world’s largest carbon emitter, China, has stated that it will continue to increase emissions until 2022 and may then act to reduce emissions. He should know that the USA, who did not sign on to the Paris Agreement has substantially reduced emissions by changing from coal to gas fired electrical generating plants.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) speculates that a reduction in airborne carbon dioxide may reduce the rate of global warming but has no proof that it will happen. The 31 computer models used to generate future global temperatures are all government owned and produce the results that government demand.

So far, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) temperature predictions are wildly above real, observed temperatures. That is because the forecasting models have been tweaked to produce the results that those in charge expect. Temperature changes since 1800 have been very modest – about 0.90 C.

When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far. We must never allow the United Nations of one of their multitudes of agencies and departments to set parameters for our governance.

We are a free people and will not bend to the demands of global warming lunatics.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
