Minister Puts Costs At $690B

“Climate change targets will cost Canadian electrical utilities about two thirds of a trillion dollars,” Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said yesterday. Guilbeault in a legal notice said the country had no choice but to stop burning fossil fuels for electricity.

“Climate change is a growing threat to Canada and the world,” said a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement issued by Guilbeault. “We are already seeing the costs.”

Well, Minister, when are you going to face the truth and stop selling these lies to help promote another international hoax?

I have asked you to define net zero and you clearly cannot.

I have asked you how we will get our oxygen to breathe and stay alive if you manage this absurd goal?   Again, you have no idea.

(Perhaps you could also advise Mr. Van Koeverden, who definitely understands water very well, that CO2 is actually a plant food not a conservative disinformation hoax as I heard him say in the House of Ill Repute.)

I have asked you where you will get all the new hydro from, and you have no idea.

I have asked you how you will get thousands, if not millions, of miles of new hydro lines all over the country to transmit your 100% electricity mode and how you will protect them from winter damage or summer heat, and you have absolutely no idea.

I have asked you how you are going to electrify the railroads across the country, whether it will be by overhead lines or a third rail? And how you will protect either from the Canadian winters?  Again, you have no idea.

All this is bad enough but you still claim the climate changes we are seeing are man made, which any REAL scientist will tell you is false.

The climate on this planet has changed many, many times over the span of the millions of years since it was created, and human behaviour had absolutely nothing to do with it then and it does not now.  Pollution yes, climate change NO.

Your job is not to spread fake news and asinine ideas to deal with that fake news, but instead to find ways to deal with what is coming as surely as the sun will rise in the morning, and to help the world (Canadians too) to figure out how to survive what is coming. At least it is a gradual change.

If you cannot do this then at least concentrate on the environment side of your job and do something about the poisoning of our land, water and sky.   That you can do something about instead of simply ignoring it.

In the final year of its third term, the Liberal government has a series of significant climate policies in the works aimed at getting Canada to net zero by 2050. 

When he announced the emissions cap framework, Guilbeault explicitly raised the prospect of a Poilievre government bringing down not only that specific measure, but the entire edifice of the Liberals’ climate policy.

“It’s not just the cap that is at risk,” said Guilbeault in December 2023. “The Conservative Party of Canada (and) Pierre Poilievre don’t seem to be willing or able or capable to understand that pollution kills people in Canada.”

This is what prompted my last request, but you too seem to have forgotten that the environment is your port folio as well and that the environment is dangerous because of all the toxic chemicals you are allowing to be put into our waters, land and air, while you are only interested in depleting the life giving CO2. 

(Perhaps you could also advise Mr. Van Koeverden, who definitely understands water very well, that CO2 is actually a plant food not a conservative disinformation hoax as I heard him say in the House of Ill Repute. By the way I am the only one in 4 generations who does not have a university degree in one form of botany or another.)

If this government falls your legacy will be one of dishonest failure and I don’t think you want that.

Have a great Christmas break and please come back with some real ideas instead of following the ignorant crowd.

Wet’suwet’en

February 2020

We now have our own version of Standing Rock here in Canada, involving real people who live as they have for millennia on unceded territory in British Columbia.

Under the Indian Act, it was decreed that there would be elections on reservations etc., to run those reserves and those who won the brass goose would be called elected chiefs.  Problem is that like almost every politician in North America, they are subject to the bribes or threats of the corporate powers whose only interest is money.  These elected chiefs in Wet’suwet’en,  for whichever of the above reasons, fell in line with the power structure (read corporate right and profit versus peoples’ rights) and here is where the whole problem arises. 

The elected chiefs are there to run their reserves as businesses and in accordance to the scraps given them by federal and provincial money, and even smaller scraps by corporate powers plundering their lands.

The Hereditary Chiefs are there to ensure that the way of life, the land, the waters and the air are not irreparably damaged for those yet to come. They too are the keepers of history and tradition and that includes sacred lands where their ancestors are buried.

The Hereditary Chiefs are not bound by threats of less money or the promise of more money as that is not their way.  Their way is the way of the land as it has been for thousands of years.  Because of their stewardship of the land, air and water it is all still there for their people and they are trying to make sure that it will be next year, next decade and next century.  Don’t try and tell them they can’t get by without money, for money is only a new imposition upon them since the foreigners attacked and stole some of this land a few centuries ago and introduced them to European ways of treachery.

Under the leadership of the Hereditary Chiefs, there are still animals to trap, water to drink and clean air to breathe and life experiences to be taught to the young people; that is all under attack by corporate greed with elected people from Canada and BC in full agreement.  

 Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realize that we can’t eat money  (Native American Proverb)

So what is happening in the unceded territory of the Wet’suwet’en is an affront to all those who agree with and have signed on to the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.  Can you imagine the outcry if the Algonquin territory upon which our capital is built, was to be taken back and turned into a massive amusement park? Oh, actually I suppose it has already if you have a twisted sense of humour, for it is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate between politicians and willful children pretending to have fun.

 If this is what it means when the PM reiterates over and over again that the most important relationship the government has is with our First Nations, Inuit and Metis, then we are in a period of time travelling with Alice through her looking glass.

 What have we become Canada?
