As Lance noted earlier, the Liberals are moving at full speed to turn Canada back into a Trudeaupian dreamland. What will that mean for you and your life? Get ready to be “nudged” into driving less and giving up burgers.

There’s still plenty of Canada geese!
These brain-dead liberals have been watching AVATAR too many times while smoking stupid weed on their hookas their as delusional as idiots like Al Gore,David Suzuki and Robert Kennedy Jr or your aarage granola munching tree hugger
Worth remembering: you can import up to 50lbs of beef at a time from the US.
The whole reducing driving thing should go over well with the Muskoka cottage Toronto set.

It will not affect them. If you live in a Liberal riding — or if they can determine directly from the records of the election how you voted — none of the green policies will apply to you. You will be given a pass for thinking the right thoughts and believing in the true faith.
Those in Conservative ridings, either federally or provincially, will be regulated and relegated to death.
Now here’s a question. When it comes time to enforce draconian climate change matters — when it comes to forced relocations or the confiscation of property — will the police and armed forces follow those orders?
I think it is pretty clear that city police forces will follow those orders. Cities are Liberal and the cops there know on which side their butter is breaded.
I think it is pretty clear that forces like the Ontario Provincial Police will follow those orders. The OPP made it pretty clear during the last provincial election that they are Wynne’s enforcers so they will do what they are told.
I do now know what the Canadian Armed Forces would do. I have no idea if they would follow orders to turn their weapons on Canadian civilians.
Thoughts?
Is it punch a lefty in the face day yet?
Lilley is absolutely correct.
Keep in mind that the image of Canada that Liberals consider to be an ideal configuration is a large, relatively poor middle class that is overtaxed, combined with a small group of Liberal elites that feed at the trough.
The green commie nonsense plays precisely to that Liberal view of the world. The middle class in Canada will unquestionably get poorer, while those connected with the Liberal party will line their pockets.
We can only hope that the whole thing implodes so badly that ordinary Canadians finally wake up and realize what they have done.
So much for Baby Trudeau’s love for the “middle Class”.
No meat? But farting vegetarians causes greenhouse gasses.
The arrogant snobs of the wealthy elite who tell us how to be good peons of course won’t care about high energy or food prices.
As per Ontario, the blurpint
Well they many WANT my car and burgers but all they’re gonna get is my contempt and non compliance.
By the way, is anyone getting tired yet of Trudeau’s breathless delivery as he explains to us how mundane was our existence before he revealed the truth to us.
With all the rock star adulation Trudeau’s head has become as big as a Halloween pumpkin. Driving cars and eating meat is nothing, the best is yet to come!
I remain unconvinced that they will do anything substantial on the “green” and “climate change” front — the example of Chretien (agree to Kyoto, then do nothing) is too tempting. They’ll talk up a big storm, but I doubt they’ll want to do anything that directly goes after consumers. Remember, now that they are in government, they’re going to poll as much as all governments do and will find out what policies are likely to lose support.
Having said that, if they can find a way to “hide” their taxes and charges (e.g., by taxing production instead of consumption), that would fit in with their tax and spend and run and hide ways. Remember the great hullabaloo about Mulroney and the GST. The Liberals were against it. Why? Because it put the tax front and centre before each consumer each and every time they made a purchase. The Liberals’ Manufacturers’ Sales Tax (which the GST replaced) was preferable in their eyes because it kept the tax hidden and manufacturers simply passed the cost along as part of their pricing.
Of course, that approach was inefficient and made our manufactured goods less competitive with foreign ones, but Liberals never got that far in the analysis. Indeed, when Chretien proposed an HST on defeating the PC’s in 1993, I thought he simply meant to create a Hidden Sales Tax — i.e., leave the GST in place, but make it a crime for vendors to set it out on the bill as that annoys consumers.
Marxists and green extremists have always regarded the automobile with deep suspicion. Note the accompanying CBC sneering reference to “private automobiles” as part of a “problem”. It is the freedom that cars offer N Americans that so vex the likes of Suzuki and his cohorts, people driving around unsupervised must be up to no good. As a necessary evil they should only be owned by the right sort of people. Canadians and especially urban Ontarians will come to rue the day they opted for Wynne-Butts-Trudeau and Dion; better to pay attention before you vote. Meanwhile as Parizeau used to say, once they are in the pot, the lobsters will be ready to boil. I fear Can is definitely in the pot.
Obama is the blueprint too and of course advisors from the Chicago thug team helped the Liberals win the election. None of this incrementalism or compromising with the opposition.
Seriously people do you really believe we have a government that can be trusted with our food supply or right to mobility?
Wake me up when you want to start boiling tar.
It isn’t going to be a “nudge”, it’s going to be a full swing kick in the ass.
I expect we should be hit within a month of Paris, by fuel taxes of a minimum of 25 cents /liter, plus HST,of course,with an annual increase to where we should be paying $2/liter by 2017.
It won’t matter how you voted, gas prices and the ensuing increase in the price of everything else will keep us outta our cats and trucks. Soon, we should be at the point the British OAP’s are; “do we eat or heat this month”.
Maybe the west should just stop shipping oil, natural gas and food to Eastern Canada.
I think anyone who believes Canadians will come to their senses and vote CPC or for any conservative party, save for Saskatchewan currently, is incredibly naive. Urban Ontario despite the destruction wrought by McGuinty voted for the government of what can you give me now. Wynne has further decimated the province but Liberals simply do not care. In 2002 1,000kwh cost $43 now it is $175 yet public unions continue to demand and get more money while the rural Ontarians get more windmills. At 3.6 private sector employees to 1 public the fix is in.
The Liberals have the media, academia and the entertainment industry plus their huge public unions, dependants and contractors working for government while we conservatives push our candidate every 4 years and wonder why we lose.
Or as we say around here, “He got a head on him like a $40 cabbage.”
I love this. I’m going to enjoy sitting back and watching the LIV electorate get what they voted for, good and hard.
Hey Brian, I clicked through the “what this means” link to your post on “Trudeau advisor Gerald Butts’ “green” energy policies cost Ontario 300,000 jobs — admits liberal think tank.”
Funny, because the actual Mowat Centre article (which you even show a screenshot of) attributes the decline in Ontario’s manufacturing sector to 1) automation; 2) globalization/the Global Value Chain (lower tariff barriers and transportation costs); 3) the rise of the Canadian dollar vs the USD over the past decade; and 4) insufficient investment in productivity. Nothing about “green policies.”
Kinda lazy, kinda deceptive, no?
I’m pretty much at the point where I can tell almost anyone who believes in this nonsense to just f**koff. I can no longer scavenge up enough energy to try to inform LIVs why they are so wrong.
“Maybe the west should just stop shipping oil, natural gas and food to Eastern Canada.”
Oh right. That’ll work.
The down side is we all get it.
Leave my car and my burgers alone …..
My fellow Canadians, you are buying into a lie regarding our energy industry and the global environment. We are a mere 35 million people, just 0.5% of this planet’s 7.3 billion population. Our country covers roughly 10 million square kilometers of which probably 90% is realistically uninhabitable (explaining why over 80% of our population live in urban centers within 200 kms of the U.S. border) We endure temperature extremes ranging from -40C or colder to 35C or warmer.
Out of necessity we need to heat our homes for 6+ months the year. We face major transportation challenges simply because of the geography of our country. Yet, through all this we are responsible for less than 0.5% of the pollution generated globally.
We ARE NOT the problem! If every one of us here in Canada chose to sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of mother earth and self terminated, the positive effect on the global environment would be…..drum roll please……zero! The global effect would actually be negative because we are one of the most ethical, environmentally responsible producers of energy in the world! If we were out of the picture the U.S. would be mining our oil sands before our corpses had even started giving off methane gas. They would then proceed to build the biggest pipeline imaginable, from Fort Mac to Texas.
Don’t believe me? Lets look at some facts. The U.S. has no problem with pipelines, U.S. pipelines that is. They actually have over 3.2 ‘million’ kilometers of liquid petroleum and natural gas pipelines already. There’s also the 1300 kilometer, 122cm (48 inch) line running from Prudhoe Bay to the Valdez Marine Terminal (yes, big bad oil tankers). You are aware, aren’t you, of the Trans Alaskan pipeline running directly through the pristine heart of that beautiful state? As of 2010 16 ‘BILLION’ Barrels of oil had been transported through this U.S. pipeline and terminal.
The U.S. also has no problem drilling for oil in the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean, the Arctic ocean or the Gulf of Mexico yet they have the audacity to condemn Canada for mining our oil sands in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan? The opposition to our Canadian energy development is a well organized attempt to keep our Canadian oil land locked so that we are forced to sell to the U.S. and to the U.S. only and then at a very discounted price. The U.S. is attempting and succeeding in preventing us from marketing our own natural resources globally to the highest bidder. U.S. foundations (HP, Tides, et al) are funding the opposition to our oil sands and contrary to popular belief it has absolutely nothing to do with threats to the environment.
If they really were that concerned about our planet why are they not protesting the real polluters, the real threats to our environment? China, the world’s worst polluter (besides having a tragic human rights record)? No protests. Why isn’t Suzuki over in Beijing chastising Jinping? What about the other major polluters? Russia? The U.S. themselves? India? I can understand a Canadian that is benefitting financially, who is receiving grants to oppose or protest or hamstring our own resource development.
What I can’t understand is the rest of my fellow Canadians buying into their bovine excrement. In the oil sands, our very own Canadian oil sands, we have the 3rd largest proven crude oil reserve in the world, behind only Saudi Arabia and Venezuela (again, both with ‘stellar’ human rights track records….) EVERY person in Canada, and EVERY province and territory in Canada has benefitted tremendously, whether directly, indirectly or both from our oil sands development.
Over the next 25 years the oil sands has the potential to generate over $1.5 TRILLION in federal and provincial taxes and royalties. There is the potential for well over 500,000 direct and indirect jobs. So here’s the deal my fellow Canadians. I fear our Canadian ‘goose that lays the golden egg’ is suffering the death by a thousand cuts. Alas, it may already be too late. Maybe it’s already on life support.
If you share the view’s of the Gore’s, the Suzuki’s, and the Obama’s of the world, that our Canadian energy producers and those that work in this industry are bad and evil and a scourge on the earth, a blight on Canada’s reputation in the global community then fine, stick your fork into the goose as well but please do not whine and complain 10 or 15 years down the road when the wait time for your hip replacement is 3-5 years because our health care system is underfunded and there’s a severe shortage of doctors and nurses in the system.
Meanwhile the Suzukis and their ilk will be flying down to the Mayo clinic in a big bad fossil fuel burning jet for their medical needs. Don’t whine and complain when your grandchild’s class has a 50:1 student to teacher ratio because our education system is underfunded and the government coffers are bare. Of course the Suzuki grandchildren will be in private schools so no problem there. Don’t whine and complain when your city’s infrastructure is decaying and falling apart and there’s no money to repair it.
Instead of whining and complaining make sure you look into the mirror and realize you believed a lie that has cost this incredible country and our future generations an amazing opportunity to prosper and succeed globally.
Whatever, I’m gonna go watch HNIC.
(For American friends, HNIC is Hockey Night in Canada–our religion !)
Great rant J! That deserves a beer and a steak!!!
Canadians kicked Nazi ass once before, I’m ready to kick some Liberal/Nazi ass now. If violence is the only way to get through to these comfortable big Government Libs then so be it. I’m willing to give them what they want… we need a revolution and we need it now. I’ll be damned before I let trust fund jagoffs and academic dipshits tell me to live like a peasant while they live high on the smell of their own farts and my money… eff em! Time for a revolution.
Mass protests is the only thing that will wake these morons up and get press coverage. People need to know that most people oppose climate change mitigation policies. All they do is raise costs and do nothing else. They will impoverish us all except those in government or public service. A cash cow so they can have the funding to hire more public sector union workers to control our lives even more.
NO THANKS, mind your own business. If turdoo signs onto this nonsense maybe another country in the future. Enough.
I thinks bullets will be flying in the US over this.
Not so much here, The tards will be all over it in the media, just leave.
Maybe the protests here have to target the media…like the left used to do in some countries. Some years ago someone here said that in order to beat the left we have to adopt their tactics.
Sean, you and me might be willing to fight, no doubt some others, but the vast majority of people will like sheep follow the progressives into the Gulags.
I may be wrong, but I have not heard any public discussion of Global Warming/Climate Change by the Republican presidential candidates on the current US debate cycle. I would like to see just one of them come out on national US TV coverage and declare that Global Warming/Climate Change is a fraud – the biggest fraud ever attempted to be foisted upon the population of the world.
It has to be declared like this from the very top of the pile and then repeated over and over until it finally starts to sink in.
Ted Cruz tried to get that out during the CNN debate but was cut off by the moderator.
Let’s hope that the Liberals past track record repeats itself, and is an indicator of the future.
They signed Kyoto, then did nothing, they clearly had no intentions of living up to their grand promises.
Perhaps they are being Shakesperian,
“Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more:
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Macbeth Quote (Act V, Scene V).
We know the idiot, and Dauphin is full of sound and fury……we can only hope and pray.
Common sense tells us that anything more than a modest increase in costs, will be the quick end of Boy Blunder’s fellating honeymoon with the press, and the idiots that voted for him and his horde.
The scary thing is, Morontariowe is the model for Trudope, with Hairy Butts as puppet master. Massive deficits, high-cost, low production greenie power, and no sugar daddy to bail out the Court Jester……fun times!
Why dont many of those hollywood eletists as well as Obama and Gore,Robert Kenedy Jr and David Suzuki all stay at home instead of flying all over the world in their leer and gulf stream jets and drive all over in their 7 MPG limos lucturing everyone how to live green from their Huanted Mansions on the Hill
With the downturn in commodities, these recycled looters will find themselves short on Canadians to fleece at a time when the baby boomer demographic is starting to collapse the entitlements. The provinces will be the first to eventually tell the Spawn to back off as they will soon all be running deficits. The CAGW scam is being overplayed as the cover for growing leviathan and I think the US will lead the way over the next few years in blowing the whistle, particularly if they elect a Republican President while maintaining control of Congress. Canada, being a nation of second-handers will continue following their lead, eventually. Canadian progressives have been more infatuated with Obama than Americans have and the Spawn’s success has likely been at least partially a result of that mindless and media-driven envy.
Thse arrogant bunch of granola munchers/Tree Huggers and Gaia worshipers need to have their bicycles wrapped around their grubby little necks Dirty,Filthy,Maggot infested nature freaks
Nope and nope. I’ll run my car on wood gas if I have too and nature’s pantry is right outside the door. Deer moose bear and the odd Liberal supporter will make a fine dinner.
Last year thousands of useful idiots lead by Al Gore and Robert Kenendy Jr marched through the streets of New York calling for Big Goverment or make that World Goverment to halt this so called Global Warming in the USEFUL IDIOTS CLIMATE MARCH
