The Reification of Net Zero

Canada’s Bolsheviks Climate Cult We Are All Treaty People 19 Comments

By the time farms are forced to go net zero, their net income statements will have beat them to that number anyway.

The University of Manitoba is getting $7.6 million in federal funds to study net-zero farming systems.

U of M researcher Martin Entz, best known for his work on organics, is the project lead.

“This is a huge amount of money. It’s certainly the largest grant that I’ve ever been involved in,” he said.

The team is also engaging with industry partners including Keystone Agricultural Producers, the National Farmers Union and Ducks Unlimited Canada to learn about sustainable agriculture initiatives…

But she should be.

Calgary is dumping over $500 million into electric buses.

There was supposed to be a pilot program starting in 2022 with a handful of community shuttles. The purchase was done, but they still haven’t been delivered.

Meanwhile, the city said to hell with the pilot and committed to blowing half a billion on this. They felt that they didn’t need a pilot program because it worked so well in Edmonton. This was shortly before Edmonton’s electric bus fleet fell apart.

This is the next big boondoggle folks.

Yesterday evening, Thursday August 29, saw the end of sentencing hearings for Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert at Court of King’s Bench in Lethbridge, Alberta. Those hearings lasted four days, with both the Crown and Defense presenting various arguments for what they believed would be appropriate sentences regards the minor charges both men were found ‘guilty’ of in relation to the major charge of ‘conspiring to murder police officers’, for which they were found NOT GUILTY.

Final sentencing has been adjourned until September 9th, as briefs were submitted by the defense late on Wednesday evening, to my mind possibly related to the very concerning rhetoric of Justice Labrenz which was heard on Tuesday.

Harry Siemens- #railstrike

The Canadian rail strike has escalated to a full shutdown of both of Canada’s major freight railways, Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC), following a failure to reach a new contract agreement with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference before the midnight deadline on August 22, 2024. Here’s what’s happening:

Blacklock’s- Calls Rail Shutdown Sabotage

“It is totally unacceptable for us as a country to sabotage ourselves right now,” said Freeland. “We have been through a lot. We have made so much progress with our economy. Canadians from coast to coast to coast are depending on the employers, are depending on the union to get a deal done and to get it done with alacrity.”

“What kind of contingency plans does the government have?” asked a reporter. “Our plan is for the parties to listen to Canadians,” replied Freeland.

Expensive Sins

If treaty payments in the neighborhood of $126 billion don’t sink the Canadian economy, I don’t know what would. While it’s true that the annual per person treaty payments are very low, why wouldn’t a court also take into account the mushrooming budget for the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs which made such payments redundant over many decades?

In a unanimous ruling, the panel of nine judges declared both Canada and Ontario had “dishonourably breached” their obligations under the Robinson Treaties signed with the Anishinaabe of Lake Huron and Lake Superior in 1850.

Harley Schacter, a lawyer for Red Rock First Nation and Whitesand First Nation which started the group’s fight back in 2001, told reporters on Friday he believes his clients are owed “a couple of billion to as much as $126 billion.”

“It’s a victory for everybody.”

Everybody, that is, with the exception of taxpayers.

Supply Mismanagement

It used to be said that the beauty of the dairy quota system was that taxpayers would never be on the hook for financial aid to dairy farmers. Leaving aside the obvious contradiction that tariffs on imported goods are actually a tax, it seems that tariff barriers just won’t do it anymore for milk producers.

Dairy Farmers of Canada will be receiving up to $5,000,000 over 5 years to advance sustainability and public trust in the dairy industry, leveraging the proAction quality assurance program. The proAction program ensures Canadian dairy farms maintain high standards in terms of environmental impact, food safety, animal care, and more.

DFC will also be receiving up to $3,572,786 over five years to build on their existing tools and strengthen DairyTrace to help protect and enhance animal health, public trust, and sustainability.

Serious question.

Global- How many doctors does Canada have? Feds to fund research to find answer

The federal government has answered years-long calls from doctors and nurses to tally and research the number of health workers in Canada with a $47 million funding announcement.

The money is being divided among research groups that aim to collect and study data on Canada’s health workforce, which has been difficult to gather across provincial health systems.

The largest sum, $22.5 million, is being given to the an arm of the Canadian Institute for Health Information to figure out where gaps are in the workforce.
