Finally. Maurice Strong is plopped front and center in the Kyoto debate, and in a Canadian newspaper. That said, there’s the sense of an editorial black pen at work;
The Liberals’ commitment to Kyoto is economic suicide, and I believe that the whole exercise was cynical and a favour to Liberal insider Maurice Strong.
Now the Liberals are leading a charge to force the Tories to live up to commitments that the Liberals never did in four years. That’s because they realized the commitments were not realistic.
But Kyoto wasn’t renegotiated because Mr. Strong is a buddy of former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin. When he was involved in United Nations operations, he organized the UN’s Earth Summit to deal with pollution. He asked for, and got, Canada’s unconditional support for Kyoto.
Bless Diane Francis and whatever God granted her the ovaries lacking in the rest of Canadian media. Even our local radio talk hosts cut callers off when they try to bring his name into the debate, citing “conspiracy theories”.
They must not read the Wall Street Journal.
Yes!! and no punitive taxes. If a tax is to be levied, the tax should be returned to the province from which it was taken. No big windfall for the feds who would probably use it to buy votes in Quebec. Even the Conservatives would be tempted. With the lieberals, it would be a no brainer.
Also each province/city etc should be responsible for their share of the carbon credits cost. That might make people wake up and realize not only is it going to cost jobs, manufacturing, oil production, but them personally. Maybe a box on the tax return, carbon credit pymt. 2000.00/person in household. Glad to see Mo finally outed for the sleeze bag he is.
Then we have to after Magna, CSL and others to pay taxes to canada, and then hit dual citizens living overseas with taxes also.
Though I don’t agree with everything either of them write, both Francis and Margaret Wente have always struck me as having bigger sex-appropriate gonads than the vast majority of their male colleagues.
I wonder how either of them will react to the news that Sir Richard Branson is offering a multi-million dollar reward (a la the X-Prize) to the first person or group to figure out a way of removing industrial quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere?
nor do they read Claudia Rosett.
It is one of my fondest hopes that Maurice Strong will find himself in jail some day!
BTW and Slightly off topic – CBC news this AM was doing a piece about the petroleum industry in NB..they used the term “Climate Change Pollution”!
I guess industrial pollution requires a new definition.
Mary T. Mo isn’t toast yet. The MSM and even radio talk show types lack the cojones to push Magna,Power Corp,CSL,etc (ie the drugs that were alledgidly found in a below water line compartment of a CSL ship).That one started to make the news but was quick to vanish
Good post Kate.
Combine the potential economic slowdown of Y2Kyoto with the fact that most Canadians are in debt up to their ying yangs.
One has to wonder why more people are not worried about their financial future.How could they take a chance on any leader that would change the economy.You won’t get diamonds from a Carbon Economy .However you will certainly feel the pressure!
Looks like Harper will have to save Canada again.
Bill Strong ,
How are you setting up your links ?
“Uncle Mo” is one of CFRA’s Lowell Green’s favourite subjects. From cfra.com
“A new book by Lowell Green…
How the granola-crunching,tree-hugging thug huggers are wrecking our country!
If this book doesn’t get your blood boiling you may need a transfusion!”
A must read for the real story behind Kyoto: Lowell Green’s book How The Granola-Crunching, Tree-Hugging Thug Huggers Are Wrecking Our Country. It’s a real eye-opener and is a best seller in Canada and soon will be a must read for everyone.
After watching parts of a couple sessions of the parliamentary committee re C-30 last week, it is downright scary about what seems to be known and more particularly what isn’t known about this whole area.
Trying to solve all of this in a few shorts weeks as seems to be happening right now is likely to be disastrous. The political partisanship within this committee strikes me as being far to dysfunctional. Whatever is likely to come out will probably be a whole lot more based on politics than it is likely to be environmentally sound.
Surely we will not see some kind of a trade-off re foregoing some cap & tax/carbon taxes/sale of carbon credits etc. for some kind of a huge lump sum increment like $2 Billion to Quebec timed “just right” to matter in the Quebec provincial election. Or worse yet – a huge big creative “tax” on the oil patch to finance the same $2B.
Baird, Nicholson, Lund met with key oil patch people yesterday in Calgary – and nothing seems to have come from it other than somehow we can reduce emissions/clean up the environment but not affect industry to much. Really!!
Hargrove/the Auto Industry seem to be onside for any kind of controls that will see me getting rid (maybe forced into?) of my older (but in great shape) 4 x 4 and possibly my 2 cycle 15 hp boat motor. After all, Baird says – individuals must bear a good shot of all this. Hmmmmmm – seems a whole lot more about selling new vehicles/toys than it does about the environment.
Stelmach seems to be in a hurry to try to get some reductions in place before the feds have a chance to impose – what reductions/controls/sale of credits these might be – who knows. If we see this guy M. Strong in town next week – I guess the clue will be that there is some money to be made in selling/buying carbon credits.
That’s an excellent article by Diane Francis.
The 9 points she makes are so obvious when you see them set out like that.
Also here in Toronto, yes point number 6 is valid. Yonge Street should look like New York City. There should be high rises all the way along the subway system. Why not?
I’ve taken the subway to work for decades. It’s not as nice as your own car but it’s more efficient and certainly greener. Maybe if Toronto stopped shipping money to Quebec and looked after ourselves we could even make the subway more attractive for passengers. I’ve met ex PM John Turner on the subway, Mayor Crombie, billionaire Lord Thompson RIP and a host of other characters … it’s a regular who’s who .. it needs to be re-marketed.
Kate …just want you to know I don’t ever take you creative writing skills for granted…thanks for ‘equal opportunity’ reference to gonads…your Homolka line from a few days ago is another classic…
jack has linked to Rick Fuschi’s lemmings story…like Harper said in January…no controvery in government so msm invents one…
Bill D. Cat,
The easiest is for you to check yourself. In your browser under View – there should be something there like “view page source” … or something close.
Then just search for claudia. Note: You won’t be able to do most of the stuff Kate does up top in the comments section.
Thanks for posting this Kate. In my opinion this guy should be kept in the news so we know what’s he’s up to at all times. …. and he MADE his fortune in the oil industry!
Anyone who thinks that Kyoto inspired carbon trading is either workable or useful should read below:
Carbon trading is the EU’s principal strategy for meeting its Kyoto target of reducing CO2 emissions by 8% by 2012. The scheme was launched two years ago in the hope that it would achieve what more than 10 years of political commandeering had failed: significant reductions in CO2 emissions. Instead, year after year, most EU countries continue to increase their greenhouse-gas emissions. Rather than proving its effectiveness, the trading system has pushed electricity prices even higher while energy-intensive companies are forced to close down, cut jobs, or pass on the costs to consumers.”

At the heart of the escalating confrontation lies Europe’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and mounting concerns about its prospective failure. The crisis centres on a fundamental conflict between economic realism and environmental idealism, between national interest and green ideology. It has exposed the increasing tension between Europe’s green enthusiasm and the realization that its unilateral framework comes at a hefty cost that is beginning to erode the economic stability of a waning continent.

Yes, bless Diane Francis, and wouldn’t you know it, in sensitive, metrosexual Canada it takes a woman with balls (ovaries!) to out the Emperor.
Rob, you comment, “One has to wonder why more people [Canadians] are not worried about their financial future”?
The reason is the Nanny State that Pierre Trudeau and his successors, all under the tutelage of Paul Desmarais’ Power Corp, of whom Mo Strong is also an alumnus, set up. “Spend, spend, spend, (so we can fatten up our bank accounts) and don’t worry: We’ll make sure you’ve got lots of beer and popcorn. (We prefer caviar and champagne, but never mind)…”
Canadians have been lulled into a drunken stupor, like cows let loose in an orchard. We’re bloated with toxic cider. We think we’re the best–becasue the Lieberals have been telling us that we are, aided and abetted by the UN’s propaganda, which Mo Strong has more than a little hand in–but we’re really just a bunch of giddy, duped idiots.
Every decent journalist who cares about Canada and Canadians should jump on Diane Francis’ bandwagon to out Maurice Strong. One thing I’ve learned in a long life, with my eyes wide open, is that bullies MUST be stared down, no matter what the cost to oneself. The cost is far greater if you don’t, plus it’s hard to look yourself in the mirror every morning. Scratch a bully and you’ll find a coward. Stare them down and they usually back down, eventually, though not without a lot of sound and fury–and lies.
Canadians who are aware of Strong’s stranglehold on our environmental and other policies need to speak truth into lies.
The truth will set us free.
BTW, Kate. Thanks for this post. Truth into lies.
More Kudos to Diane Francis…before anyone would touch it she wrote a 2 page expose in the Finacial Post of the Powercor-LPC-PMO connections and the special dispensations given Powercor players and deals form the Powercor PMs…this was the fist time Moe Strong was nailed in a Canadian publication as a major player in Powercor-LPC global profiteering and political pandering through UN channels into the communist nations that other Canadian business was denied.
Good for Diane..good to see she can still call a snake a snake.
As for the liberal push to get Liberal-caused Kyoto commitment defaults as a confidence motion against the Harper government…I gotta wonder who is writing the scripts for their ongoing farce…
this “we-will-hold-you-to-accomplish-goals-we failed-to-accomplish-in-our-13-year-regine-so-we-can-embarass-you-to-get-us-reelected-so-we-can-fail-to-accomplish-impossible-goals-again” tactic came right out of the Paris insane asylum…
give your heads a shake Dijonettes you must think the Canadian public is as logically handicaped and morally crippled as LPC leadership.
I, too, am a huge fan of Dianne Francis – she wrote for the National Post when it was a GREAT newspaper (Conrad Black’s newspaper – and who might be behind the drive to ruin Conrad Black? Things that make me go hummm?)
Just so everyone here knows; David Hawkins totally exposed that evil little piece of dung – Marice Strong, at Hawkins Cafe, BEFORE the last election. Stockwell Day, when he was foreign affairs critic for the Conservatives asked the Liberanos about their connections with Mo and the oil for food scam. Didn’t get much ‘air time’ (naturally!).
I know that the mo tse cartel is very powerful – it took a lot of courage for these two honorable men (it is not just women who have targeted the thugs) to speak up.
Also there is a lady journalist named Judy (I forget her last name – I will find it and the link to her articles) who posts regularly on Mo and his dung leavings.
Canada is waking up to find that it does have a spine! Lots of thanks to Kate, Angry in the GWN, Jack’s newswatch, the new McCleans (sometimes!) the Conservatives, PM Stephen Harper, and (HUGE) the Western Standard.

Earth Week challenge
Terence Corcoran, Financial Post
Published: Tuesday, April 18, 2006
It’s Earth Week, and all hell is breaking loose over looming climate and environmental disaster. We’ve got Al Gore’s Vanity Fair essay comparing global warming with Nazism, terrorism, global Fascism and Communism. And Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers, is this week on the Canadian swing of his global book tour, spreading the gospel of the Earth as a giant self-contained Gaia organism that has been infected by bacteria-like humans spewing carbon emissions.
Less scarifying, but wholly Canadian and no less fascinating, we have the celebration of Brian Mulroney as “The Greenest Prime Minister in Canadian History.” Mr. Mulroney will receive the award at an Earth Week Gala Dinner on Thursday night in Ottawa. Among the head table guests are former environment minister Sheila Copps, Sierra Club godmother Elizabeth May, Quebec Premier Jean Charest and One Tonne Challenge spokesman Rick Mercer.
Creator of this bizarre event is Corporate Knights, an organization of young Che Guevara activists dedicated to infecting corporations with Maurice Strong’s sustainable development. …
One can understand, though, why some environmentalists might have voted for Mr. Mulroney. He is, after all, the prime minister who delivered Canada into the arms of Maurice Strong’s 1992 Rio Summit and signed Canada on to Agenda 21. At the summit, Mr. Mulroney’s then-environment minister, Jean Charest, led Canada into signing the Climate Change Convention, the direct precursor to the Kyoto Protocol. Mr. Mulroney, in fact, is one of the godfathers of the Kyoto accord from which Canada will have to be extricated by the current prime minister.
It is true that Jean Chretien was in charge when Canada signed on to Kyoto, and that Mr. Chretien picked targets for Canada that were unattainable. But the fact is that the Kyoto structure was a Mulroney commitment and, no matter what Mr. Chretien did, it would still be a bad idea based on bad science.
Maurice Strong was secretary-general of the United Nations Rio Earth Summit, and he later declared Mr. Mulroney to have been “one of the stars” who helped bring the event to a successful conclusion, despite resistance from the United States.
No doubt it was an achievement. Whether its the kind of achievement Stephen Harper wants to endorse and emulate will say much about the principles and future of the new Conservative government. …-

I found this comment of Greg Davies, Calgary in yesterday’s Globe extremely interesting:
“The Liberals sign Canada up for a binding trade agreement that cannot be abandoned without the introduction of a law?….
Said agreement produces no useful benefit for Canada.
Said agreement sets outlandish targets for Canada effectively requiring that we pay Billions annually to developing nations. Companies in developing natioins exploit loopholes to reap massive profits due to loopholes in the agreements; it is conceivably possible to setup such a company in said developing nations to exploit the loophole and to reap the windfall of Canada’s Kyoto payments.
The only reasonable conclusion is that the Liberals have effectively established a LEGAL MONEY LAUNDERING SYSTEM that will have the effect of ensuring that friends of the Liberals are well paid, indefinitely.
The Liberals have therefore produced a LEGAL mechanism for ensuring that they and their cronies will regain and remain in power in Canada, indefinitely.”

Nice to see the Spider King outed. She did a good job.
Notice how the media and libs are using the phrase, reducing emmissions by 6% by 2012. That sounds doable, with some problems. They should be saying 6% below 1990 levels, which have risen 30%. That means a reduction of 36% in 4 years. But, have no fear, kyoto will be dead and buried by the liberals as a conservative scam brought in and signed by Brian. Europe has faced massive unemployment and factories closing along with huge price increases of everything. The people are discovering it affects them and they want out.
People have been talking about Strong for years, but nobody listened. Think Petrocan to start, think giving CSL to Paul Martin Jr years ago. I compare martin to a sleeper agent just waiting to strike. Where did martin get the money, or borrow the money from to acquire csl. Would love to see the money trail on napkings for that deal. If only there had been cell phones back then. We still have until Feb 2008 to find a way out of this mess. A majority Harper govt would do it. I intend to ask every kyoto supporter I meet if they have read the Protocol or researched any of those writting it. I will have my copy ready for rebuttal. The more pics I see of algor or strong I think there are aliens from some unknown planet. They have invested millions in this scheme, and want a 1000% return, from foolish liberal voting taxpayers who will force all cdns to pay.
I hope Yonge Street doesn’t evolve in something resembling NYC. I hope it becomes the sh*t composting center of the world. This source of renewable energy would make Taliban Jack very proud and the city would get something it so richly deserves.

Dear Readers,
My uncle David once told me: “It’s a losing cause; but so is anything worth fighting for.” Never one to be accused of excessive optimism, uncle David had a real love for life, once charming Steffi Graf in his 80th year during a chance hotel lobby encounter in London, England. A humanitarian secularist of the first order, uncle David spent a good part of his life working for the Ford Foundation in Africa, where he once came across a globetrotting young Maurice Strong who, he later recalled, was “not a particularly impressive- looking fellow, but somehow he managed to get things done.”
This summer I had occasion to meet Maurice Strong at our conference while he was on break from his UN envoy duties (read: trying to avoid a crisis in North Korea). He seemed upbeat, remarking that sustainable development is on almost everybody’s agenda now.
At press time, the two most talked-about political figures in Canadian news—Arnold Schwarzenegger and Paul Martin—are harping an ode to the virtues of environmental responsibility. Schwarzenegger pronounced that ‘jobs vs. the environment’ is a false choice, and Martin is touting transformative environmental technologies as the great tip of an iceberg of wealth-creating innovation. Strong, a former boss of Paul Martin, will be moving to Ottawa this winter to take up a senior job advising the new PM. That’s because Corporate Social Responsibility has entered the lexicon of political correctness. Everyone is for it. If you don’t have anything nice to say about CSR, you had better keep it to yourself—unless you’re Terry Corcoran that is. There is nothing like ambiguity to galvanize popularity. …

The vote that is taking place next week in the House of Commons will force the Harper Gov’t to meet Kyoto targets. PM has been quite silent about this. I’m suspecting that he may decide (the night before the vote) that the vote is a confidence motion and would result in the fall of his gov’t and force an election. The opposition parties should be careful as I don’t think any one of them is ready for an election right now.
MARICE STRONG is a wacko green new age pagan nut case he is crazy as they come even more of a fruitcake then AL GORE
Thanks’ Bruce . Give me a minute , I’ll see if it works .
I too sense an editorial black pen. The first line “The Liberals’ commitment to Kyoto is economic suicide, and I believe that the whole exercise was cynical and a favour to Liberal insider Maurice Strong” just begs for elaboration, and it seems from the interrupted flow that Francis had a bit more to say that didn’t make it to print.
If an — ultimately — trillion dollar economic rewrite ends up being implemented as a “favour” to “Liberal insider” Maurice Strong, well, they must really owe him. But for what?
On the whole cojones issue, there’s no doubt that in the Canadian context it’s predominantly women who are packing. For whatever reason — perhaps the cold weather causes pre-emptive retractions among the men — Kate, Kathy Shaidle, Rosett, and Judy (?) refered to above (I think she writes for Canada Free Press) put most male bloggers and writers to shame.
Don’t count on the Diane Francis article to start any real media attention to Strong. There’s a massive censoring effort dedicated to keeping him and his cronies (Demarais, CSL, Martin, the China Red Army—co-owners of the Cherry auto operation–and the company that builds one coal-fired generating plant a week in China) out of the news. The media is more than willing to go along. I’ve had three emails censored by the CBC because I’ve mentioned Strong and these connections.
He is, in my estimation, one of the most dangerous poeople in the world. His agenda is profoundly negative. He and his henchmen have their finger in untold pies: the net effect will be the destruction of the West, the rise of a new and purer Communism in China, and ultimately a massive reduction in the world’s population. Strong is on record that this is the only way to save the planet.
The UN and China are a powerfuil and deadly combination. Strong is the spider at the centre of the web.

I am always very surprised to learn, when the subject of Kyo doh! is broached, how many people do not know a whit about Chairman Mo, his involvement in setting up this scheme and his shady backroom dealings. It’s nice to see it out in the Canadian MSM but I suspect, as on other occasions, the publicity will be short lived.
On the Kyo doh! subject. I’ve been wondering, is this carbon tax calculated like a value added tax? From what I can tell it isn’t. To me that means that any resource extracting country,(no matter what the resource), excepting those given “developing status” is at a distinct disadvantage. I would think that while we, in Canada, may expel a significant amount of CO2 relative to our population size, we should be given some credit against those resources that we ship to the world to be used by their populations. Have I got this wrong? Can somebody enlighten me on the fine points?
Call it a conspiracy theory if you like, but I find it more than coincidence that the most damning report regarding “climate change” came from the UN – the same body where Strong is so deeply entrenched. If Dion and the Liberals do not succeed in passing their bill next week, he stands to lose a lot of money, apparently he has been setting himself up as a “carbon trader” for the past few years. He doesn’t care one whit about the Canadian economy, he only cares about how much money he can scam. I agree with BKS (7:33 pm), this is nothing more than a money laundering scheme with Chretien, Strong, Martin and their cabal at the helm.
Jan: “I am always very surprised to learn, when the subject of Kyo doh! is broached, how many people do not know a whit about Chairman Mo, his involvement in setting up this scheme and his shady backroom dealings.”
That’s because the majority GTA MSM editorial staff is part of the cover up…there I said it…how many Canadians know about the Powercor-LPC-PM-legacy…it’s the best kept secret in the media…what would the situation be if say..the American press knew that Haliburton produced their last 4 presidents and the last 3 govenors of NY???
But Canada’s left denies this Powercor unseemly relationshiop with LPC and the PMs…and the left media call it “conspiracy crap” if it’s ever mentiontioned..which, of course it truely is….a conspiracy…by definition and action???
What happens to a bill in the Senate if an election is called. Until the senate passes this new bill it will not be law. After passing it has to be proclaimed by the GG, so what is the timeline. I think it takes a few monthe. For the senate to act any faster gives Harper fuel for election of senators and time lines.
But, what if, the bill passes, and goes to the senate, and Harper presents his Budget early. during the Que election, with lots of goodies for everyone. The budget, with no major money to meet kyoto, is defeated. Then he calls an election for April 27th when everyone is filing their taxes.
Just think, if Martins ego had not got the best of him to think he could get a larger majority than chretain, and never called that election, he would still be PM and we would never have heard a word about kyoto, targets etc for the past 2 years.
One of the indications of bad editing is that paragraphs three and four both start with the word But. Ms. Francis does not write like that. Someone clumsily mutatis-mutandis’d a paragraph or something.
“If one understands that socialism is NOT a share the wealth universal altruistic plan but a politically actuated plan to consolidate power and control a nation’s wealth, then the paradox of super rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all.

…they must really owe him.But for what?
Cause he came up with Kyoto, the greatest money laundering scheme in the history of the world.
The Liberals had no intentions of meeting the Kyoto criteria.That way they could begin sending billions of Canadian taxpayer dollars all over the world for carbon credits.
When billions are being brokered, it’s easy to skim millions without being noticed, and Mo Strong would no doubt be doing the brokering in China, the biggest recipient of moneys from the developed countries.
The Liberals were convinced they would be rolling in the dough with all their socialist buddies, but one thing they never counted on got in the way.
Interruption of power.
Great column by Francis. Agree that Kyoto compliance is economic suicide for Canada if it goes it alone. However, if all countries sign up for anything even remotely similar it’ll be GLOBAL economic suicide. And the poorest will suffer the most.

Mao: The Unknown Story
By Jung Chang and Jon Halliday
(Review; Excerpt)
The path to the low point began in 1958. Consumed by his superpower ambition, Mao now wanted to achieve it in “one big bang”. The Great Leap Forward, he said, would enable China to “overtake all capitalist countries in a fairly short time, and become one of the richest, most advanced and powerful countries in the world”.
The plan, he said later, was to set up “the Earth Control Committee” to “make a uniform plan for the Earth”….-
