Reuters;

Glencore is planning to close its Horne smelter, Canada’s largest copper metal-producing operation, due to environmental issues and the millions of dollars needed to upgrade the facility, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.

The London-listed miner does not disclose copper metal production figures for its Canadian operation, but industry sources estimate annual output at more than 300,000 metric tons.

Having previously changed the consumer carbon tax rate to zero, the Carney government appears to be moving to eliminate it altogether. But don’t get out the champagne just yet. The industrial carbon tax remains, and Carney’s being cagey about what might happen to it.

In March Carney used a regulation to set the price of the consumer carbon price to zero. However the government is now moving to repeal the law which enabled the policy, effectively ending it for good — along with the rebate Canadians received from it.

The pricing system for industry accounted for about 80 per cent of total emissions cuts from carbon pricing overall.

Carney has promised to strengthen the industrial policy but has not said how or when that will happen.

Armstrong Economics- EPA Threw Away BILLIONS Ahead of Trump Presidency

The Biden Administration effectively permitted this agency to “throw gold bars” off the edge of the Titanic and needlessly spend public funds. All of these investigations lead to the same conclusion. The government provides nonprofits with a large sum and those agencies then funnel the money to smaller agencies, whether its related to climate change or funding terrorism. This is precisely why Trump attempted to freeze all federal funds upon taking office.

The burden won’t be limited to the cost of unloading the current stock of EVs to consumers who don’t want them. There will be additional losses for dealers and automakers who built production and sales infrastructure to comply with mandates that are now disappearing across the board. Maybe it’s just that Canadian politicians pride themselves in policy failure. Otherwise, why are there so many failures, so often?

“There is no pathway to 100 per cent zero-emission vehicle sales in the next 10 years with the support [currently] being provided to Canadians,” Kingston said. “Dictating what vehicles Canadians can and can’t buy, without providing them with the supports necessary to switch to electric is a made-in-Canada policy failure.”

Blacklock’s- Wildfire Risk Was “Political”

Internal emails show Parks Canada executives feared “public and political perception” in managing fire hazards at Jasper, Alta. Access To Information records yesterday released by Conservative MP Dan Mazier (Dauphin-Swan River, Man.)

Jonah Mitchell, executive director of Parks Canada’s Prairie division, warned of negative media coverage if the agency organized a controlled burn of dead pine, a routine forest management practice. “At what point do we make the organizational decision to cancel planned prescribed burns in Western Canada?” asked Director Mitchell.

Blacklocks- Solar Panels A Pollution Risk

The department budgeted $1.2 million for research on how to recycle panels at low cost. Panels contain aluminum, tellurium, antimony, gallium and indium “in some thin film modules which are currently not being recycled” due to high cost, it said. “Solar panels are constructed in such a manner that the many parts comprising the panel are difficult to separate and recycle individually.”

“Separating those materials and uniquely recycling them is a complex and expensive process as opposed to the cheap method of discarding the entire panel into a landfill,” it said.

Under the new law, EU countries will be required to restore at least 30% of habitats such as forests, rivers, grasslands, wetlands, lakes and coral beds deemed in poor condition by 2030. This percentage is set to increase to 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050. The law also introduces specific requirements for measures to reverse the decline of pollinators.

Great Success!

Reason- California Is Doubling Down on Banning Plastic Bags

“Last year, Californians threw away more plastic bags, by weight, than when the law first passed,” according to a recent New York Times article, which called it “an environmental rule that backfired and inadvertently made the matter worse.”

Two bills are now making their way through the Capitol. Senate Bill 1053 and Assembly Bill 2236 would also ban the thicker plastic bags that replaced the thinner previously-banned bags.

Calgary Herald- ‘Just get rid of it’: Single-use items bylaw repeal public hearing to be held Tuesday

The new rules — still technically in effect — require grocery stores, restaurants and other food vendors to impose a minimum $0.15 surcharge on customers for a paper bag or $1 for a new reusable cloth bag at the point of sale. Those rates would have climbed to $0.25 and $2 respectively in 2025.

The bylaw also put the onus on customers to request single-use items and foodware accessories, such as napkins and plastic utensils.
