Global News reports that a new poll shows that residents of Turtle Island agree with Dear Leader’s climate policies. They have no problem with shutting down the fossil fuel sector.
Majority support Trudeau’s climate policy pitches made at COP26, poll suggests
Why can’t we build a 3mw wind turbine every five minutes until 2050?
Or a 3gw nuke plant every week until 2050?
https://grist.org/renewable-energy/2011-02-11-gobsmackingly-gargantuan-challenge-of-shifting-to-clean-energy/
They should lobby poopy pants Pres. Cornholio to Shut Line 5
Stan, the gobsmacking truth is wind turbines and solar panels are not renewable or clean and require massive inputs of fossil fuel energy. The only rational thing for long term electricity supply would be nuke plants. Please keep in mind they need fossil fuels to be built as do power lines and towers. Not much real thought going on out there these days. The energy inputs into electric cars exceed that for regular gas powered cars.
I recall Lomborg put the break even on fossil inputs between EV’s and gas at 50,000 miles – most people who could afford a Tesla will not keep it long enough to make up for that initial fossil fuel energy needed to make them
There is no break even.

“In Norway, there are more EVs per person than anywhere in the world
and studies show that people have two cars — a subsidized EV car to
go `virtue signalling’ and the real car for use for real stuff.”

“Materials like lithium used in EV batteries are mined by young children
mostly in the Republic of Congo.”

for starters stop purchasing anything that is made from OIL
Or at least make a list
Most Liberal Fools are oblivious
My sister in law thinks that Internet and Power is free at her house, why you ask?
Because her husband pays the bills, they are free for her and in her mind.
Proving once again that most Canadians are idiots who don’t deserve to live in a first world country. Frack ’em.
“Frack” as in the imaginative Battlestar Galactica euphemism for “fuck” or “frack” as in “hydraulic fracturing”?
My vote is for hydraulic fracturing – of their skulls.

Yep. I do see one bright side to the whole 14th-century peasant thing though. Those of us with the swords will be able to round up the UnMes and their ilk and well, you know: put them to the sword.
Won’t be too many pride parades either, which I could deal with. In fact whining, grifting, and self-righteous poncing around of all sorts would decrease dramatically. Hmm…
Embrace the power of “and”.
They are so stupid they voted for a slow death by starvation. And in reality that is Natures way. Nature always culls out the weak in mind and body.
Their IQ’s are probably about 65-70
Nature tends to cull quickly and mercilessly. Humans do it slowly but cling on to the illusion of doing it with best intentions. Unless they suddenly are overwhelmed by the need to do it quickly. In the past it was for saving the souls of heathens, or for honouring the name of a prophet, or to appease the gods, or to save the purity of a culture or a race. Soon it will be done to save the earth from the unworthy and preserve it for the enlightened. In all cases it is done with the illusion of best intentions.
BTW, Let’s Go Justin!
So they mostly Colored Females then eh?
Could not agree more.
Well it’s an “online survey” which means it has no value…..but we should really help those Canadians who want to live like 14th Century Peasants do so…..and shut off the oil and gas to the rest of Canada.
It’s a survey of 1,600 people.
1,600 lefty trolls, duly reported by global “news.”
More like UNIFOR Propaganda. Diaz likely rounded up his top lieutenants to respond to the poll.
At least Global admits that it’s a bunch of union hacks. The other networks keep that quiet.
1600 very stupid people. Canada is one of the harshest environments on earth … and the braindead 1600 are hoping … hoping … windmills and solar panels will keep them warm. Fucking idgiots
No, it’s only 69% of 1600 people. 1100 of them, and Global uses that .003% of Canadians to say that the majority of Canadians support the shutdown of fossil fuels. Ottawa will cite that, of course, in their push.
Math is hard.
Yeah, and they all live in Windsor or Vancouver
All such self-selected polls are useless. Unless a random sample is taken using proper survey framing, any poll at all is a waste of time.
I can’t wait until they shut down line 5. I do not want to hear one peep from those turds in Quebec when they have no heat

let them eat hemp.

Burn hemp to stay warm … hotbox the whole family!
Sayyyyy … did you know George Washington grew hemp!? Yes, the potheads are so tiresome.
As I recall , it was the duty of every Patriot to grow at least an acre of hemp on their lands back in the old days.
I believe during the World Wars .gov required that also.
If Dear Leaders population “control” plan hits big then there won’t be much demand for remaining power sources and a lot of firewood from empty houses in the neighborhood. -feeling particularly dark these days-.

Those who vote for Trudeau’s climate “policies” have no clue what enacting those said policies who actually mean. No thinking through to what the end results would be. I am all for Alberta turning off the taps to Eastern Canada. They need a taste of what the consequences would entail.
Yup….I have been saying that for years. It’s like those morons who have no idea where their food comes from and that it magically appears in supermarkets or believe that electricity just magically comes out of those plates on the wall and gasoline just magically appears at service stations. When I would walk to work every morning, I remember watching the Safeway semi driving down the street after just having unloaded the products from the store. It made me wonder how long it would take for panic to set in if that semi for some reason wasn’t able to restock the shelves every day. It’s LONG past time to teach them life altering lessons that they won’t soon forget.
most of those polled were probably from the ranks of the last 10 years of public education
“They need a taste of what the consequences would entail”
So true. We’ve heard nothing but blather and demagoguery from the PM on this issue who uses words like ‘cleaning up pollution’. People need to be aware of the real world consequences of his wild woolly-headed promises to the world.
Those who vote for Trudeau’s climate “policies” have no clue what enacting those said policies who actually mean.
Oh, yes, they do, so long as Alberta is on the receiving end. Then again, in their minds, Alberta is the only region that deserves them.
I used to say that polls were for herding sheep. Now I realize that they’re for beating people about the head and neck.
Pollsters are no longer in the business of determining opinion they are in the business of forming and fortifying opinions.
The polls are structured to obtain the outcome.
Questions asked will all provide a degree of agreement to the premise being promoted by limiting responses to how much do the respondents agree rather than if they agree or disagree.
It’s like asking someone when was the last time you beat your wife.
Here’s the conspiracy theory of how these polls are commissioned.
Liberal government wants public support for draconian law/regulation.
Government provides funding to activist group in the form of developing “strategy” or some plausible reason to obscure a contract of little to no value.
Group commissions poll through liberal friendly firm where the desired poll results are known but never openly stated.
Pollster surveys by over sampling demographics that will support narrative.
Pollster publishes results gleefully reported by government scribes (aka CBC) as verified proof the government is doing what Canadians want.
But as Kate would say.
“Not once was I asked”
Like the Dipper propaganda I received from Maru Voice. At the end, I told them it was the worst propaganda disguised as an opinion poll I had ever suffered through.
You forgot to mention that the possible answers are preselected and do not include obvious preferred responses. For example which of the following questions A to E is your response when in reality f—- off Justin is by far the preferred answer
That’s no conspiracy theory, that’s exactly how it works.
And taxed like them here in Gondek’s climate utopia. (BTW we all just read the headline and didn’t really hear what she meant…right).

If Biden shuts down Line 5 then the eastern bastards will freeze in the dark!
As Mark Twain observed there are three kinds of falsehoods: lies, damned lies and statistics.
This is nothing new:
From Yes, Prime Minister in 1986
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahgjEjJkZks
Rumour had it that Maggie Thatcher watched Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister to figure out what was going on in the government.
It was certainly her favourite programme. I recall seeing a short sketch where she was with Sir Humphrey and it of course ended with “yes, Prime Minister” – that was while the show was still Yes Minister.
That poll result is as predictable as asking Canadians if Wayne Gretzky was a hockey player. Given that young Canadians have been raised on Suzuki, Disney, socialist education, socialist culture where oil companies are portrayed as worse than Nazis, anti-industrial propaganda 24/7/365, and socialist politics. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, communists and hard core left went green to accomplish the same goals. Today’s Liberals are the NDP and death-cult greens of the 20th century. Ignorance of energy is universal. The mere fact that 95% of Canadians would be dead within a month of shutting down all oil and gas consumption is apparently irrelevant.
Never once have they been taught what death from exposure means.
Old woman!!

That’s always been a favorite of mine.
It was a couple of light years ago when I toiled at 1st year Socialism sorry 1st year Sociology and there was always a Noam Chomsky wanna-be in every class who was just like Dennis.
Let them be the ones to go without heat and electricity this winter.
>Some 65 per cent of respondents also say they support the government’s new policy to stop exporting coal by 2030
Australia salutes you, Prime Minister. China doesn’t care where it gets its coal from. And there will be some cheap housing in Tumbler Ridge, BC really soon.
I think we should stop exporting coal now. (And stockpile it for our own use.)
What Canadians want is quite irrelevant.
Our masters’ only aspirations for you and me is an ax-blade to the cerebellum to save our replacements the price of a bullet.
Like most polls, they are created to convince you of the object of the poll. It’s amazing how many polls come out, affirming that a majority of Canadians support government policy. ANd anyone who doesn’t just isn’t mainstream and worthy to be considered human.
Polls are rigged. The late, great Rush Limbaugh mentioned a few times that the MSM and the Left collude in order to make it appear that everyone supports their point of view in the hope of making conservative-minded people think that they are alone in their thinking, which in turn alienates them from public discourse.
Fossil fuels don’t cause the climatic conditions that can kill you, they protect you from the climatic conditions that can kill you.
You are speaking sense, John.
You must be stopped!
“Canadians Want To Live Like 14th Century Peasants”
I fail to see the problem. By all means, let them. Give them the land (north of 60). Give them free tents. Give them free transportation to get there. Give them how-to books on living off grid. Give them a shiny, new knife. Give ’em a week’s worth of food, even. Give it to them, good and hard. Before they go, they sign a contract that says if they return to civilization in anything less than a year, they get publicly shot. Then, and only after they’ve survived a year as a 14th century peasant, can they come back and complain about Globull Warming.
In 12 months time, we’ll have far fewer idiots, far fewer complainers and a finer appreciation of fossil fuels all the way around. Win/win.
Oh, and all politicians must pass this little test as a prerequisite to running for office. Municipal, provincial & federal.
Period.
Darwin’s will be done.
DB, the pilot project is already ongoing! As many jabs as you want, plenty of graphene-laden PPE’s from PRC, and the freedom to pack virus-shedding jabbed folks to the max! Only missing the blankets. Dear leader wise!
While I was at UBC more than 40 years ago, most Lotuslanders I knew wanted Alberta to live like that. Then again, they saw those of us from east of the Rockies as nothing but redneck and racist hillbillies, bumpkins, barbarians, and peasants. Sending us back to pre-Magna Carta times would have been, in their minds, what we deserved.
Did you notice that marked shift in Lotuslander thought began right around the time of the great influx of Chinese immigrants?
marked shift in Lotuslander thought
As in from left to really left? Nah. My time at UBC was before the Chinese invasion. Vancouverites back then saw themselves as a universe apart.
World War I was called the Great War until World War II. The Great Depression could soon be called World Depression I. When that occurs, Americans (those that survive) could likely find themselves living like the Amish. Canadians (those that survive) could likely find themselves living like 15th century aboriginals. Won’t that be nice?
As with Argentina and Venezuela, Canada will vote itself into poverty and eventually indentured servitude to the likes of the Trudeau cabal.
People get the government they deserve. Abandoning God has consequences.
(applause)
Most people want to shut down the oil industry and also want lower gas prices. That’s the level of thinking we’re up against here.
Which is why, Sir James, we must stand back and let Darwin’s will be done here.
Winter is coming and will be quite the education.
Exactly. Disengagement from reality always results in the delusion of a consequence-free life. Blame the Net, blame the Commies and the media, blame epic global stupidity and madness, they’re all part of the game, and we’re the pawns.
Yeah James, and they put on their plastic based clothing, and drive their plastic infested cars 500 kliks to protest the ugly oil industry………SIGH!
I don’t believe that every Canadian agrees with Justin’s policies simply because Canadians don’t read. Did they read these reports? Doubtful.
Furthermore, the handful believe this now because not every part of the country is plunged into biting winds and wet, heavy snow.
Soon …
“A Majority of Eastern Bastards Agree to Freeze to Death in the Dark”
That would probably be a more appropriate title.
Also here’s a question from the survey;
Do you believe that Canada should keep its COP26 obligations:
1) Yes
2) Okay
Another fake online poll from the media’s fake pollsters. Why is SDA giving this attention and taking it seriously?
This place used to be way smarter than that.
Most of the morons interviewed in that poll probably think electricty grows on wires .
Perhaps they can learn to hibernate. Oh darn, all the good caves are taken.
Never – EVER – believe anything you see in a poll whose “results” are summarized and reported by the media unless you see sample size, the actual questions, available responses, etc. I have no time to get into it here but I suspect these data are wholly-absent form this piece of fluff that was widely reported by a MSM that essentially re-tweets Liberal Party of Canada press releases.
