The conventional voices continue to claim victory after last week’s Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) decision on carbon taxes. All sorts of carbon tax advocates – environmentalists, academics, political insiders – are saying the following: all those annoying little Canadians who are so vulgar and uneducated as to object to carbon taxes should shut up … Continued
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday that the Government of Canada is fully within its jurisdiction to impose a carbon tax on provinces, even if the duly elected governments of those provinces oppose the imposition of such a tax. Their rationale? The wisdom of Greta Thunberg. Judges aren’t scientists. They aren’t climate experts. Yet … Continued
The mainstream elites are outraged that the conservative grassroots have dared to say no to a resolution on the environment at this past weekend’s Conservative Party of Canada policy convention. All the mainstream voices are making disparaging comments about the Tory delegates’ veto of this latest O’Toole misstep. The media is saying that the Conservative … Continued
On March 6th, I wrote about Erin O’Toole’s rumoured and impending carbon tax betrayal, revealed in the March 2nd Toronto Star article. My blogpost prompted some pretty strong responses of shock from readers. Coincidentally (I’m sure) the CPC issued a fundraising request in which they insisted they would “continue to…find meaningful ways to reach Canada’s … Continued
Last week the Government of Canada announced that $2.7 billion would be spent on electric buses. Why would they do this?

Government and industry virtue-signalers continue to trip over one another trying to support, defend, and justify Trudeau’s “net zero by 2050” climate policy “conversation.” And what a conversation it is! It celebrates a radical green agenda to destroy the prosperity of modern society. How? By taking away the foundations of that society, perhaps the most … Continued
This winter is proving to be a severe one across much of the northern hemisphere. Extended cold snaps, lots of winter storms, and then more of the same. Of course, the climate alarmists are sidestepping their usual mantra about warming and now saying “all extreme weather is climate change caused by humans”. This allows the … Continued
As we pointed out in our previous blog post, the Trudeau government has made net zero by 2050 the central policy of their platform. That is why, when the Keystone XL pipeline expansion was cancelled by U.S. President Biden, Trudeau claimed to be “disappointed” but of course he “understood” Biden’s decision. Of course he “understood”! … Continued
The world is a mess, the economy is a mess, and our governments continue to accumulate debt at an extraordinary pace even while there is serious talk of interest rates starting to spiral up.
