Climate change warrior shovels quarter billion SaskPower’s way

In Pipeline Online’s continuing mission to ensure we all know exactly what the federal government is telling us on climate change initiatives, this is the verbatim press release from the Government of Canada issued at 18:10 hrs on Dec. 5. Notably, it was not sent out via provincial media releases nor SaskPower’s media releases. And apparently according to the feds, Jansen is a company, not the place the largest mining company in the world, BHP, is building the world’s largest potash mind. Check that out in the opening paragraph.

(You’d think the natural resources minister, and ministry, might be aware of the largest potash mine in the world being built in their country)

The announcement was made by Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson. He and Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault are the federal Liberal government’s lead ministers on their numerous and various climate change initiatives. For good measure, we’ve interspersed a healthy dosage of oil and gas ads, that industry that this government’s Bill C-59 is trying to muzzle.

Highlights include money for a number of solar projects, advancing SMR development, the intertie to the United States, grid-scale batteries, and a “forecast that there will be over 130,000 clean energy jobs added in Saskatchewan between 2025 and 2050.”

Oh, and I am willing to bet a Christmas cheesecake the $265 million number was set so they could say it was more than Harper gave carbon capture in 2008 ($240 million). Never mind 9 years of inflation meaning my kid cries after buying groceries.

And on the topic of Guilbeault, Pipeline Online columnist Jim Warren, knocks another one out of the park talking about his involvement with the green slush fund.

  1. Hop on your bicycle …. I heard they were hiring down at the windmill. Now get down there ….

  2. Wilkinson and Guilbeault have done more harm to the Western economy and our oil production– alternative energy does not work in our climate! Their believe in the false science of Anthropogenic Climate change must be stopped!!! This liberal Party has ruined Canada!

    1. I believe it was Dwight Duncan of the liberal party who signed the flawed windmill deal with South Korea. At the time he stated that green energy would create 600,000 jobs. We are still waiting

  3. The green “NGO” movement in Canada would be a miniscule rabble of nutters without the dirty money channels of taxpayer theft and mostly US (eco-colonial) foundation money. Green theocracy, being pathologically driven by self-righteous zealots consider their crusades to be above laws and norms of humanity. Raised on the bile of CBC’s Suzuki and fantasies of Disney, nothing is more important than eliminating humanity from the planet. Their union with the state is not only corrupt but purely evil. As taxpaying, law abiding slaves of the state, you are funding your eventual demise in the name of their green theology.

    1. Yeah, well, I still have to go into press conferences and such. In this case, and others, I like to use their words, all of them, and let them show what they’re really saying.

  4. So $11 million of the $12 million in “job creating federal investments” is going to Indigenous bands with no accountability. Amazing how much these guys will spend to woo less than 5% of the population
    No wonder this bag of poop was dropped after six pm on a Friday. Thanks as always for the clear-eyed reporting Mr Zinchuk.

  5. As all SDA’rs I’m also perplexed by this “new” religion of Climatism, along with innumerable other issues affecting all of us in Canada, America & Europe. It’s not always the fault of the government in power or the voters that put them there.
    The elephant in the room is the ruling management class that has very significantly increased their number and influence since the 70’s and ’80’s. They got there by way of education, which was driven by the Prussian model coupled with the influence of one John Dewey. And the end result? Deplorable! Briefly put we are now ruled by hordes of despotic & bureaucratic technocrats who have overwhelmed the civil service. Unelected, faceless and soulless. Endless conferences where the confusion of one is multiplied by the number present. Little accountability and no natural predators. DEI & CRT prevail. Literally all businesses and institutions are also infested. Sadly there’s no easy way out of this. End game – it’s all about the Benjamins.
