Today, the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, announced that Canada will invest nearly $1.8 billion to mobilize private-sector support for developing countries‘ efforts to transition to cleaner, more sustainable economies.
They’re in Morocco.Make it a clean kill.

So much for that 10 billion deficit.What are we at 40 billion good god Obama would be proud.
The Rebel’s Sheila Gunn Reid is covering the conference. It’s quite amusing to see how much a load of hogwash it is. For example, conference buses idling while on standby. Electric car charging stations which remain unused. Air conditioning all over the place.
Yet, the bureaucrats who are attending, many of whom are unelected, are drawing up rules to tell us, the Great Unwashed, how bad we are for using electricity and hydrocarbon fuels and that we need to be punished for our misdeeds.
Can someone tell me why Canada’s still a member of that organization?
So what does that work out to, $1.5 billion to the husk of Northern Telecom to install cell phone towers across Bangladesh, and $300 million to grease palms all around?
How about recognizing that providing aid to foreign countries is a luxury, not a necessity? Luxuries are something one can afford when one has an excess of money, not when one is in a deficit situation.
Gah. We’re being led by fools. I miss Ralph Klein.
“conference buses idling while on standby. Electric car charging stations which remain unused. Air conditioning all over the place.”
You forgot my favorite: watering the desert so it is not dusty for the enlightened elite.
It’s bad enough that Canadians have elected these green priests to destroy our own economy but do they have to export their faith-based pathology guaranteed to attract rent seekers and trigger mal-investments to the so called “developing” economies – all on the dime of future and quite likely more impoverished Canadians. Of course they do because as the Spawn says, its 2016.
Canada will invest nearly $1.8 billion
“Invest” oh you mean we’re going to profit from it? LOL!
Doesn’t Soros always win?
We have approximately 30000 homeless Canadians yet the liberals forced the taxpayers to provide homes for 25000 foreigners last year. Considering winter is just around the corner, how about spending the $1.8b Canadian tax dollars on Canadians in need.
Last winter my local paper reported a story where a homeless teenager gave birth to her child alone in a tent with sub zero temperatures and snow falling. That story followed the lead story of the liberals patting themselves on the back for providing homes for 25000 foreigners.
Why do the trudeau liberals turn their back to Canadians in need? Sure wish the media would ask those questions.
Where is our $1.8 billion being invested? Whose Swiss bank account? I want some.
It was your money to begin with.
the headline should read, CANADA ABOUT TO FLUSH 1.8 BILLION OF BORROWED MONEY.
“Doesn’t Soros always win?”
Not always.
He just blew through millions trying to get Hillary elected.
All in vain.
Like I always say… global warming is about people who live large telling the rest of us how to live small.
I had been thinking that one of the main reasons for carbon taxes was to bankroll Trudeau giving away billions to other countries to alleviate their climate change suffering, this news seems to support my reasoning, the price of yachts and seaside villas for dictators is going to go up…
Sadly … it’s even worse than that, Brick … from the article:
“… announced that Canada will invest nearly $1.8 billion to mobilize private-sector support for developing countries’ efforts to transition to cleaner, more sustainable economies.”
Let me emphasize the words “mobilize” and “efforts”. What the hell does that mean ? Let me explain.
“Mobilize” means several things; “bribe”, “crony capitalist payola”, “economic punishment” … and most of all it is a clear signal that NONE of this nearly $ 2 Billion will be used for actual construction or development of anything … but will be used as an economic carrot and stick. In otherwords, $ 2 Billion in taxpayer funds -WASTED.
“Efforts” means “non-accountable”. NONE of this $ 2 Billion in taxpayer funds will be tracked. There will be no accountability for this expenditure. Because it was only earmarked for an “effort”, the good ol’ college try. The government isn’t promising that a goal will be met, or that anything tangible will be created. Out here in the REAL WORLD … where this $ 2 Billion in taxpayer largess is actually created … we have “deliverables” attached to every dollar we earn. The government has none. Yes, this money will line political crony pockets … and YOU will be paying for it
Sadly, the average Canadian (and American) no longer posess basic skills such as … reading comprehension.
While any contract in this country would be relatively transparent, subject to FOIA money laundered through a third party, ie Morrocco, will not be.
Keep an eye on which Canadian connected companies get contracts, or companies that have Liberal board members etc.
And watch the donations back to the Liberal party.
Adscam was a wonderful mechanism until it was discovered. The greed doesn’t go away, just a different way to satisfy the need.
Let the games begin: Trump 1 Trudeau 0

In 4 years our dollar will be worth 50 cents.
“The Government of Canada to invest nearly $1.8 billion to spur clean innovation in developing countries”
Another rephrase …
The Government of Canada to waste nearly $1.8 billion on solar projects in developing countries while blocking development of real energy sources such as natural gas and coal electrical generation. So while Catherine McKenna is having an green orgasm, billions will be forced to continue a life of drudgery in the dark.
Immoral idiots these enviro thugs. Same here in Alberta.

“deplorable kenji says… What the hell does that mean ? Let me explain.”
no, kenji… i’ll take this one… it means brother bongo from the congo gets to expand his tony stark-like maserati collection on the canadian taxpayer’s dime courtesy of prime minister care bear.
not a joke… some african dictator, while his people starve and his opponents languish in jail has managed to build up one of the world’s most impressive exotic car collections.
a little googling will produce his infamous name.

How is it that the politicians and paper pushers freely give of other people’s money to look good.
Remember the free giving is for one single, solitary and only reason, so that the airhead in Ottawa looks good and takes selfies with other honchos.
It is quite beyond belief how these characters think of the taxpayers moneys. On top of that, it is the next and future generations that will have to come up with the money to be payed back.
Could this be called deplorable?
“Mobilize” means no accountability and ineffectiveness. But great vision statement and cocktail parties do result, as China and India spew on.
No that there’s anything wrong with that.
I am absolutely disgusted with all you Canadian deplorables out there sending in your racist, AGW denier, xenophobic, misogynistic comments. This news article makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and you should be ashamed of yourselves for not feeling the warmth and comfort that our glorious leader and his sycophants are spreading around the globe at our expense. Truly you have no understanding of the magnitude of the endeavour that the Liberals are embarked upon. They have been in power for just over a year now and we are only halfway to the poorhouse. You’re all going to have to suck it up a little harder Buttercups if we are to take this post national state into abject poverty in the next three years./sarc./
Now I’ll retire to Bedlam to chew nails and spit rust!
Ah, so, the LIEberals HAVE learned from ADSCAM.
Now they will perform their graft in third world countries, where graft is a business as usual practice, and the LIEberals will just blend right in.
I’m not siding with the effin LIARS, but this money is a large part of the $2.65B wasteful amount they acknowledged in their Paris orgy last year.
No, Liberals will never learn and it seems the voters will never learn either. ADSCAM protocol is their modus operandi. Toss money to the wind with no clue exactly where it will land and who will brown bag it.
We are not in good hands.
You say that like you think War Lords aren’t good for the African people ? Like War Lords don’t hand out UN Food supplies in exchange for a little Brothel work and whatnot ? Weren’t you happy to see your tax dollars arming Somali Warlords with RPG’s that could take down a Warmongering US Blackhawk helicopter ?
Thank God I retired before the last Ontario election,I could NOT
answer the phone and say Ministry of the ENV and Climate Change how can I help You.
They are stealing our money in plain sight.
