“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. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

There is nothing about carbon emission reductions that has anything to do with ‘saving the planet’ … that is hokum


Not seeing the forests for the trillions of trees
Mark Bonokoski  ~~ Toronto Sun ~~ August 10, 2016

Thanks to Statistics Canada, Wikipedia, and reader Ollie Waschuk, a retired teacher, there would appear to be sufficient evidence to put forward the argument that Canada should be selling carbon credits to other countries, and using that money to relieve Canadians of some of their tax burden.

We are virtually without sin when it comes to the net result of carbon arithmetic. In fact, Canada should be given credit for chewing up a goodly portion of the world’s carbon emissions, and not just for absorbing all of our own.

 
There is nothing about carbon emission reductions that has anything to do with ‘saving the planet’.

That is hokum.

The original plan, the Kyoto Accord, was a sham designed to move billions of dollars from first world nations to third world nations.  Like any other scam, the precept had to be simple and plausible.


First, the Intergovermental Climate Change Panel (IPCC) had to prove that global warming was due to human activity.

Second, the IPCC has to show that global warming was rapidly increasing and required immediate counteraction.

Third, the IPCC had to set standards for emission reductions that were not possible to achieve.

Fourth, the IPCC had to set up heavy fines for nations that failed to comply.

The framework was duly set up, but could not reach the ratification standards it set up.
When the Kyoto Accord was set to expire due to lack of participation, the IPCC offered special rates to Iceland and Russia – not much different from a car dealer selling off last year’s models at deep discounts. So much for ethics and integrity.

Canada’s carbon taxes are purely political.

Trudeau has an illusion of becoming a power within the UN and effectively moving up in the order of governance over us overtaxed peons. He has the chances of a snowball in the tropics. The power players at the UN don’t even consider him a bantamweight.

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper to step down for Conservative Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to run in a by-election

Deputy Whip and MLA Reann Gasper has informed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia of her decision to step down as MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, creating an opportunity for Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader Hon.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
