Nice Truck Ya Got There

Be a shame if something happened to it.

Blacklocks- Feds Target Truck Emissions

“The focus is on retrofitting existing vehicles to be more environmentally friendly,” said the notice Environmental Impact Of Canada’s Vehicle Fleets. “The study will analyze data from a government program that encourages such retrofits. The goal is to create a comprehensive report helping Canada meeting its emission reduction targets.”

  1. Why does this government hate truckers? Trudeau spews more GHGs on one of his junkets than any trucker in the country does in a year of bringing essential goods to Canadians. If you bought it, a truck brought it. Yet Liberals insist on tearing down any industry that benefits the country. With any luck, this idiocy will not survive an election.

    1. My theory is…because Trudeau thinks Truckers project masculinity, common sense and strength of character that escape him.
      Another guess is there will not be another election in 2025 for the same reason, among other corruptions and petty, vile traits exuded by that perennial adolescent.

  2. Here it comes again.. if anyone thought the urea bullshit was bad.. this will lead to something far worse.

  3. Wait a minute ……. They’ve been screwing with diesel engines for over a decade to make them cleaner, it obviously hasn’t worked so far or are they just moving goal posts?
    To keep their empty minds busy and the voters miserable.

    1. No not just one but many. All well connected donors to the permanent ruling party.

    2. A lot of problems in Canada could be solved by simply following Argentina’s example of eliminating entire federal departments and private consultants, then radically cutting most other departments, aid to foreign countries and charities Less taxpayer money spent on wages and benefits, less corruption, less interference in our day to day personal lives and private companies, more labor available for non-government work, more money for core government services and tax cutting.

  4. Remember the goal – the destruction of Canada through nightmarish policy decisions that no one voted for. The goal is to reduce the population by 95% (per Agenda 2030), to move all of the population into cities, to reduce your lifestyle to penury and deprivation, to enslave you and remove your rights to property and chattel, to have you live in government run apartments and gulags, to restrict your movements to a maximum of 15 minutes from your abode only on public transport, to restrict your ability to consume goods and services to a minimum (like 3 new pieces of clothing per year, no meat, minimal calories, and bugs) all in the interest of establishing an elite class of high priests of Gaia to whom you answer unconditionally.

    So if creating regulations that basically stop mass transportation of goods or makes it prohibitively expensive to move any goods is needed, then that is what they will do. It is a death cult club and you are not a member. You must be sacrificed for the good of the goddess Gaia, and your demise is a bonus. And if you don’t see them as malevolent, you are missing the picture completely.

    1. Couldn’t have said it better. I feel sorry for people who don’t see them as such.

  5. When the trucking industry has completed their part in this, and the trucking companies have raised their rates by 20% to cover this expense, then “everything” rises in price but especially groceries, are the #Libranos going to blame Loblaws?

  6. I know of a lot of semi truck owners who have deleted the emission cleaning systems on their trucks. They have to reactivate the components only when they sell the truck. My sense is that it won’t be too long before this act is simply deemed illegal.

  7. Easy to think but tougher to do: affected truckers could avoid making deliveries to locations in Lib/NDP ridings so that voters might eventually educate themselves that actions have consequences.

  8. When anyone mentions Canada’s effect on globull warming:
    – I open Ventusky and go to the AQI tab set on world wide. I point to China, Asia and India and say “When you fix that, come talk to me.” Don’t tell me because they’re poor nations, these are leading financial economies.
    – I then take them to several different articles about mining of rare earth elements in China and Africa that show the immense damage done through the aggressive strip mining and then tell them how much of these elements are needed in their smart phones, computers and smart TV’s, “When you give up yours, let me know.”
    – I then go into how much of these are required for EV’s, comparing to what goes into ICE vehicles.

    The truth should set you free, but usually doesn’t.

    1. You must be frustrated with idiots who cover their ears and start chanting. Bashing your head against a brick wall is more satisfying that trying to argue with a leftist using facts.

    2. The next PM should point out Canada has 2 million square miles of trees, that it is therefore carbon negative and walk out of the Paris scam.

    3. Grumps
      Religions are BS, and they’v been around for 2000+ years.
      Historians and some biblical scholars are now finally realizing that the texts, including the bible, have been manipulated to suit the agenda.

  9. Once trucking is destroyed … there will be a systemic reduction in the movement of raw materials and finished products. Just as the worldwide Socialists have been dreaming of for decades. Mission accomplished … the climate ruse is tearing down The West from within.

    Hint: nobody is gonna like the new scarcity.

  10. How can you retrofit a diesel engine to produce less CO2? If it burns fuel, emissions are the result.

    The only way to cut emissions is therefore to burn less fuel. That means replacing the whole engine with a more efficient one. Industry is already doing that as much as possible. But that isn’t good enough for green government zealots, they demand the impossible.

    To solve a non-existent problem.

    1. the laws of thermodynamics are no match for the Canadian Climate Cultist Party, in the interests of “Scientific Socialism” they will be made to conform with the beliefs of the CCCP.

    2. “How can you retrofit a diesel engine to produce less CO2?”

      You can’t. You can increase diesel output efficiency and reduce nitrogen compounds in the exhaust with water/alcohol injection, you can reduce exhaust soot with urea injection to the exhaust gasses and a collection can, but CO2 plus water is the best you can hope for with final output.

      And everyone knows it. So they’re simply lying. Again. It’s a tax and a make-work project for connected friends of the regime.

      But mostly its revenge for all that horn honking. A nice round of bankruptcy for truckers, the end of the small contractors. The surviving big companies will be gifted with some government goodies later on, after all those deplorables are out on the soup line. Which is the stupidest thing they could possibly do, and therefore what they are doing.

      I do not think they comprehend the gravity of their situation.

  11. As an aside, remember there is no right to property in Canada. There is a climate emergency and your truck is responsible for it. Just like those assault-like guns were responsible for gun violence.

  12. Seems like a last gasp to damage everything and everyone by librul scum and ndp terrorists.
