What if your job, your mortgage, your ability to feed your kids hinged on a 12-year-old’s climate crusade?
Because yet again, for Saskatchewan coal workers, it does.
Oh, and two weeks ago, CBC gave that very kid an award for their activism, for this very case. And I use “they” for a reason.
I see you have your very own Greta Thunberg.
*for the record, back when dear Greta was a minor I thought it very distasteful to attack her personally, as she was a child and thus obviously a pawn, rather than the adults behind her; I still stand by that (a quick look into Greta’s parents shows that they are real pieces of work). Don’t go after the child (it’s a bad look) go after the people using the child as a human shield (they know what they’re doing).
Worse were the elites who kowtowed before her.
That was pre-arranged; she merely became a convenient vehicle for what they already wanted.
Yeah, I think you nailed it.
The short answer is that Saskatchewan independence fixes this problem completely. The court case argues that refurbishing the coal plants goes against Paris Accord commitments and that federal law supercedes provincial laws. If Saskatchewan becomes an independent nation then the Paris Accord and federal government rules become a moot point. They no longer apply to Saskatchewan.
Beyond that, no, activist groups and children should not be able to put Saskatchewan’s entire energy grid at risk. The coal plants are a large percentage of essential baseload power and it would take decades to get a carbon free alternative like nuclear power to replace coal. Judges, a hostile federal government and activists should not be allowed to risk the safety and economic livelihood of over a million people. The decision belongs under the jurisdiction of the provincial government.
P.S. – if the federal government had truly cared about decarbonizing the electricity system, to save the world, then they would have provided 100% of the money to build nuclear power to replace coal in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Instead Trudeau accrued $600 billion in debt and built nothing of value.
Why? Primarily beause it was never about climate change/global warming. It was about personally enriching themselves and their buddies who build solar panels, wind turbines, EVs, heat pumps and creating green slush funds. Secondly, it was a way to significantly harm the economies of Alberta and Saskatchewan, two provinces that don’t vote for the Liberal Party of Canada.
What if the girl wins Brian? What then? What’s left but to abide by her handler’s wishes, however intentionally damaging they may be?
Continue to play by the #Libranos, the federal gov’t rules, the Paris Accord?, whereby you’ll lose 100% of the time… or leave?
Saskatchewan independence is the way forward. I don’t know if there’s a route to a referendum in Sask, or if it’s necessary to have a sit down polite conversation with Premier Moe which leads to that route being available…

If this makes it to the activist Supreme Court of Canada, they will win. I’ve been warning people to that effect.
If the Trudeau appointed Supreme Court judges ruled in favor of the environmentalists because climate change is an existential threat to humanity, without directing the federal government to fund the solution, then it would supercharge the Saskatchewan independence movement.
The federal government and the rest of Canada needs to put their money where their mouth is or keep their mouths shut. A federal government that throws a few billion dollars at Quebec dairy producers whenever a farmer gets a hangnail or wastes 50 billion dollars at, a now defunct, Ontario EV auto industry could have built quite a few reactors to replace coal plants. Climate change due to coal power plants is obviously not an existential threat to humanity or it is and the federal government was negligent in their responsibility.
The majority of the population in this failed post-national entity are “Elbows Up!” retards. Whatever the Lieberals present as truth, is the wholly unequivocal accepted Truth. It doesn’t matter how much double-think it takes to make it so.
When the O’Briens hold up three fingers and ask how many, the typical Kanadian will respond “however many you say boss.”
Yes and however badly you want to save someone who is drowning, you can’t let them drag you under the water with them. Canada is sinking and, thanks to Quebec’s previous referendums, Alberta and Saskatchewan can be independent. We don’t have to let Canada drag us under the water.
LC, with respect, there is no “solution” and directing the federal government to fund it, is an inanity. There is only taxpayers,period, full stop.
That’s why I like western movies.
They just shoot the bad guys.
Reminds me of the scene in Indiana Jones where Indy pulls his gun and blasts the guy with the sword!
Thunbergicide. Just how screwed does the average Canadian have to be to get the pitchforks and torches out of the closet?
CBC giving out awards to kids for climate protesting is activism and not journalism.
It should be law that activists must live with the same results as those directly affected. After a few freeze in the dark IQs might start to increase.
The Saskatchewan Environmental Alliance is an anti-nuke group, as well as anti-coal. They are also funded by among others, Toronto Community Housing Corp.
Why is the Toronto Community Housing Corp, which is taxpayer funded by the City of Toronto, funding activist bullsh*t 2,000 miles away??? Shouldn’t they be involved in, I don’t know, building housing in Toronto?? Same city that always complains about a lack of money. F*%k me.
Poilievre says “climate change is a global problem” … hence he accepts the poison premise which will forever taint his decisions regarding fossil fuels.

Pollievre does the work he was sent to do; he’s compensated well — I think their parliament all got raises this year.
The unwillingness to challenge the pronouncements of brainwashed kids is the main reason we drink out of those crappy cardboard staws. “Milo Cress, 9 years old, conducted a study on plastic straws estimating that Americans use about 500 million plastic straws daily. His findings led to the creation of the Be Straw Free campaign, aimed at reducing plastic straw usage.”
Nobody challenged his assumptions or reviewed the study. He never explained how my plastic straw that I put in the recycle in the middle of the prairies as far away from any oceans it is possible to get on this planet ends up in the Pacific ocean off the shores of Chyna. You’d think the adults that rules us would, but here we are. Yes the coal workers have good reason to be afraid.
I was wondering if someone would bring up the plastic straw scam.
The truth is that 95+% of the trash in the ocean comes from just ten rivers in Africa and Asia, but that doesn’t serve the narrative.
At the height of the plastic straw madness I was asked to leave multiple Costcos because I bought bulk packs of plastic straws off of Amazon and refilled their empty straw dispensers.
yep. l was about to do a lookup on this brat. its like all manner of trends and notions nowadays
are borne of the ’emperor’s new clothes’ syndrome.
a civilization swollen by bandwagoners. sheep. brainwashed compliant sheep.
Might be a little more direct if you work in the petroleum industry , but we all are feeling the pinch, or waiting for the other shoe to drop.
March 24 , 2006 Inconvenient Truth arrived in US. Theaters and it arrived at my daughter’s Catholic public school probably a year or so after that. I can remember the argument with her as we drove by chemical valley in Sarnia.
We were warned by intellectuals , the hockey stick – Mann , and Stein. Canadians bought it or didn’t pay attention and here we are twenty years later.
Trump at least said it’s a scam.
But not our dear leader nope – sustainable leaves his lips like it’s a cure all for our ills .
When it’s been the opposite all along .
And just maybe more people will finally connect the dots , I’m not hopeful but maybe.
But it’s not likely.
