An open letter to Lisa Raitt, from Dr. Ross McKitrick.

Max and the PPC are the only ones have not silent themselves and pleasing your enemies does not turn them into friends so that is why Max says that the age of Political Correctness is over in Canada as far as he and the PPC are concerned.
It’s the money, honey.
Sadly.
As I have said before and I will say it again, governments around the world have discovered a cash cow in the Climate Change Ideology.
For example, British Columbia (Canada) imposes a 128% carbon tax on domestic natural gas usage.
Not 2%. Not 5%. Not 12%.
128%.
British Columbia converted to the Climate Change Ideology in mid-2008 under the leadership of then-premier Gordon Campbell.
It’s all about the money.
And he who owns the gold makes the rules.
Once governments get involved in something, it’s nearly impossible to get them out, as the mid-1700s American colonies found out.
Gotta give the Canadian media credit, when they get bought, they stay bought.
Trudeau got good value when he bought their parasitic asses with our tax dollars.
They’re still squawking like magpies about global warming.
McKitrick makes reference to Roger Pielke Jr who was drummed out of climate science for simply telling the truth about IPCC reports.
The folks who successfully attacked him bragged about it in private. Amusingly, this came out in the open when Wikileaks published John Podesta’s (Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager) emails. An interesting read!
Google made EX VP Al Gore a Multi-Millionaire when he got them protection from Liability… Gore then went to them after he lost in 2000..He headed up the AGW fraud for Google and the California Lizards…
Money & Political clout runs over REAL science…. The Media will never survive AGW, nor will Gore
JMHO
Ross McKitrick is a good guy. He read my working paper on the greenhouse gas data extracted from ice cores and gave me several good suggestions.
Anyone who is interested can download it at this link. I plan to make some revisions and then submit it to a journal.
But tomorrow and for the rest of the year, we’ll get back to being busy bringing back terrorist monsters to Canada and teaching them poetry.

@JustinTrudeau
Today, on the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism, we remember the Canadians whose lives were cut short or forever changed by a terrorist attack.
“In recent months, we have seen terrorist and extremist online content spill out into the real world with tragic and deadly consequences. We are working hard to modernize and enhance our security efforts and stop violent extremism, both online and offline. Through the Christchurch Call to Action, Canada and countries around the world are stepping up to prevent people from abusing the internet to promote terrorism.
What about free speech you ass?

That was a great letter from Dr. McKitrick. Hopefully all of Lisa Raitt’s fellow MPs read or hear the open letter. I just sent the video to my local MP.
Actually my wife and I had a great conversation with our local female MP’s male husband on Saturday at our local town’s summer celebration. The conversation of course turned to the Paris Accord fraud and Scheer’s whipping of his MPs to vote for it. He said the CPC supported Paris because this ‘carbon emissions’ issue has been so ingrained on our society by the snake oil salesmen and media that you have to appear to be for it while trying to steer a non damaging governmental course and at the same time fight real pollution.
It is tough to summarize a 1/2 hour conversation in a few words, so don’t get too critical in assessing my comment.
I did tell him that in our house there would be one vote for Max and one vote for his wife. 🙂
this ‘carbon emissions’ issue has been so ingrained on our society by the snake oil salesmen and media
I’ve been a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for more than 40 years and it, too, has gone whole hog for his malarkey. In a recent issue of its publication Science, the editorial starts with the usual the-science-is-settled baloney. It goes on to refer to “striking” students who are demanding action, an implied nod, I suppose, to that Swedish teenage nutter who looks like Pippi Longstocking.
That same editorial goes on to claim that the whole world can be powered by renewable energy which, according to the writers, is cheaper than nuclear or hydrocarbons. They also don’t want any further oil and gas development as that the latter, as well as nuclear, are obsolete and are only temporary measures until renewables will finally take over.
You can guess what the rest of that piece was like.
By the way, results from my own research indicate that being solely dependent upon renewable energy using what’s currently available will be horrendously expensive.
Hopefully, that article will result in some scathing letters to the editor. “Advancement of Science” yet — what a betrayal.
Its not horrendously expensive. Its impossible.
The major shortcoming is in storing excess output energy and then drawing on it to make up for any shortfall. When the combined output from renewable sources and backup storage is insufficient to meet the load demand, auxiliary power will be necessary.
This is what the environmental extremists don’t appear to understand. The other thing is that a renewable energy system have to be customized to the load as well as the location of the sources.
By the way, results from my own research indicate that being solely dependent upon renewable energy using what’s currently available will be horrendously expensive.
To produce the electric power needed to offset the lost fossil fuel energy, Canada would have to build 2.5 hydro power dams the size of British Columbia’s $13-billion Site C project somewhere in the country “every year for the foreseeable future” leading up to the proposed 2050 carbon reduction targets. The geographic and cost obstacles send that prospect into the realm of the impossible.
On a global basis, the magnitude of the implied decarbonization effort illustrated in the graph takes us beyond the possible and into the world of junk science fiction. In 2018, world consumption of fossil fuels rose to 11,865 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe). To get that down to near zero by 2050 as proposed by the zeroists would require a lot of alternative energy sources.
University of Colorado scientist Roger Pielke Jr. did some of the rough numbers. “There are 11,161 days until 2050. Getting to net zero by 2050 requires replacing one mtoe of fossil fuel consumption every day starting now.” On a global basis, such a transition would require building the equivalent of one new 1.5-gigawatt nuclear plant every day for the next 30 years.
We have a climate emergency. Get those shovels in the ground. Now.
It would only work for a small, remnant, planetary human population….which is the aim of the AGW crowd, theoretically, with the aid of AI/robotics. Population reduction, forcefully if necessary (why is EBOLA in the news, are certain parties weaponizing it?) to rid us of “useless” eaters/consumers of resources?
Don’t believe me? Do a bit of reading, folks. Stuff about this is lurking in the web, if you look for it. I’ve read stuff that would curl your hair and that was 15-20 or more years ago. One “discussion” was about using airborne Ebola, to infect millions. Right here in North America. The talk was given at Texas A and M. You probably won’t find it now, but I read it at the time. Online.
Start by asking questions of a political Party who wishes to wean us off “carbon”. What is replacing it? Hydro? Hardehar. In western Canada, where would you build dams that would impede agriculture uses of that same water and grow enough to feed an increased population, these days “imported”. If that certain Party is so concerned with the use of carbon, why are we increasing our population?
As far as I can see it, you are “penalized” on “carbon” use for just living in Canada. Use in fuels (heating and motoring), concrete (yes concrete = CaCO3) buildings, dams, roadways, bridges, docks, runways, you name it. CARBON FFS! Never mind FOOD. Ever seen a “solar farm tractor”? You you never will. So how is the LPOC gonna feed all those extra mouths imported, or the resident population while restricting CARBON, or forcing you to pay to live here….because that is exactly what they are doing.
Since when did you become the Property of the Liberal Party of Canada, to be taxed on your CARBON uses, to live in Canada?
Well, not quite solar, but it is green, however, not John Deere green.
And I can believe this report. It’s the sort of cowardly “don’t offend the CBC” thinking I expect in Canadian professional politicians, wanting to be invited to all the best dinner parties of the political class. Max doesn’t follow the political class, except to mock it.
This is directed at Scheer’s Lieutenants, not you, Ken:
Conservatives “pretending” to support green theocracy / hysteria in order to pimp the mindless middle are more transparent then they think. It makes them look like used car salesmen (who incidentally have higher moral standing than politicians). It’s like being lectured to by the Spawn. You know everything he says is either a scripted lie or psychological transference and you can depend on the reality that he has little to no life skills in any area he is responsible for. As Kate often writes , “pleasing your enemies doesn’t make them your friends” to which should be added ” and it pisses off your actual or potential friends”. The media will always eviscerate all conservatives everywhere regardless of their pretenses or honesty. Pretending to go along with the settled science crowd reinforces the biases of the left, particularly with the mushy middle and is nothing more than surrendering to evil. Liars, fraudsters and thugs need to be put on the defensive not kissed up to or humored.
And what’s more, they are wasting their time attempting to win over a segment of the electorate which will never vote Conservative, even if the leader’s name was Trotsky. And it loses your base support which you cannot make up with swing voters, AKA the listless masses, the uncommitted and just plane disinterested.
Max knows this.
Exactly, and so true. That is exactly what they appear to be trying to do.
The more Trudeau and his Lie-brals can demoralize the Cons the MORE they will continue to do it. So you have to do what is right to get the Liberals out of GOV’T. VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS….VOTE OUT TRUDEAU OR THIS COULD BE THE END OF CANADA!! Trudeau is fighting for his life to run this country into the ground at taxpayers…voters expense. Soros is pulling the strings. Trudeau hates us Canadians!!
“End of Canada…”?
Hmmm…is that a bug or a feature?
It’s like this.
People that want to know, know and want to know more.
People that don’t know, don’t want to know, that would be an admission of following something akin, if not actually, a cult.
And as those that know, know what the people belonging to the cult in Jamestown chose to do voluntarily.
Unless the followers experience catharsis there is no one that can possibly do anything to change their minds.
And that is how it is.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
