I asked Steven Guilbeault why the Liberals' carbon tax hasn't stopped the wildfires, flooding and hurricanes he says all warrant climate action from the Conservatives.
In response, he accused me of "total ignorance" about climate change. pic.twitter.com/8XPbDuJAXC

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given.
Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and the giant eye in the sky gets a middle finger’d poke;
The BBC previously revealed that more than 300 cameras had been vandalised between April and mid-August.
The actual number of cameras affected is likely to be even higher as one report can represent attacks on multiple cameras.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Ultra Low Emission Zone expanded across all of the capital’s boroughs on 29 August.
The Metropolitan Police told the BBC: “To date, Met investigations have led to the arrest of two individuals, one charged and bailed for trial to June 2024 and the other [case] discontinued by the CPS.”
It added that the force “continues to monitor anti-Ulez protests, as we do for all potential public order matters, to consider if bespoke policing plans are required”.
MP for Sutton and Cheam and London minister Paul Scully has written to Mr Khan urging him to remove the Ulez camera in front of the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, which has been targeted by vandals.
He told Mr Khan the camera was “serving as a prominent lightning rod towards those who are willing to take the law into their own hands”.
He added that the location of the camera was aimed at intentionally catching motorists “venturing little more than a hundred metres into the boundary to visit loved ones, receive treatment or attend their place of work”.
These 14 American Cities Have A ‘Target’ Of Banning Meat, Dairy, And Private Vehicles By 2030
Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”
C40’s dystopian goals can be found in its “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.
This post is inspired by the successful efforts last week of climate activists — including three widely-cited scientists — to enforce misinformation by the legacy media. In a nutshell, ABC News wrote an accurate story about how climate was not a major or even significant factor in the Lahaina, Maui fire and disaster. After being mobbed by the enforcers, the story was changed to emphasize the role of climate. These sort of activist scientists who seek to enforce preferred public narratives have been called the “science police.”
Today’s post pushes back against this narrative enforcement with some actual science. Have a look at the panel below. It shows three versions of a climate time series for annual counts of North Atlantic major hurricanes from 1995 to 2050. Two of the graphs include a large change in climate, one of them does not.
Stephen Guilbeault intends to ban the plastic that keeps the chicken salmonella from smearing all over your grapes.
Which is a much more effective way to explain Trudeau government insanity than this 916 word blah blah that (astonishingly) manages to include the word “commendable”.
Far-left Brooklyn Councilman Lincoln Restler is pushing new legislation that would require Mr. Softee and other Big Apple ice cream trucks to stop powering their soft-serve machines and freezers with generators that use fuel.
The bill would require the vendors to switch over to environmentally friendly alternatives like electric or solar power — likely at a cost of $5,000 or more.
We must eliminate plastic food wrap because hygiene is racist.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department yesterday gave grocers until month’s end to comment on proposed curbs on single-use plastics like meat wrapping and fruit bags. A current ban on plastic six-pack rings and other goods will cost consumers $205 million, by official estimate: “There is a need to do business differently.”

“I go to the grocery store and buy a pound of deli ham in a plastic bag, bread in a plastic bag, milk in a plastic jug, napkins wrapped in plastic, store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and a plastic bottle of ketchup. But they won’t give me a plastic bag to carry it home, because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?”
Lorrie Goldstein- “The Regulations are expected to increase the tonnage of waste generated from substitutes by an estimated 275 943 tonnes in 1st year of full policy stringency (2024) or 2.9 million tonnes over the analytical period (2023/2032), almost all driven by paper substitutes.”

City Journal- Greenpeace Admits Recycling Doesn’t Work
The Greenpeace report offers a wealth of statistics and an admirably succinct diagnosis: “Mechanical and chemical recycling of plastic waste has largely failed and will always fail because plastic waste is: (1) extremely difficult to collect, (2) virtually impossible to sort for recycling, (3) environmentally harmful to reprocess, (4) often made of and contaminated by toxic materials, and (5) not economical to recycle.” Greenpeace could have added a sixth reason: forcing people to sort and rinse their plastic garbage is a waste of everyone’s time. But then, making life more pleasant for humans has never been high on the green agenda.
“I am assumed male nearly always by strangers,” says Ms Kuttner, which, frankly, seems a tad implausible. We’re also told that perceiving her as a man, not a woman, requires “effort,” which would appear closer to the truth, if not entirely consonant with the previous claim.
Needless to say, it gets a little complicated.
Central planners are upset that the latest plan is not being implemented as smoothly as they imagined in their dreams.
It seems that too many comrades are not following correct procedures thereby undermining the narrative.
However, a recent inspection blitz found several hundred instances of unsafe chargers being installed. Fraser said the blitz was started after realizing how few permits had been issued compared to the thousands of vehicles being registered.
In just one area of Toronto, they found over 400 unsafe working chargers without a permit in a 10-month period.
“We’ve seen people plugging an extension cord into a stove outlet in their kitchen, dangling it through the window and hanging it through the tree in order to charge their car.”
As someone who sees the use of plastic cutlery at crowd events as a wonder of modern sanitation, I find Shiny Pony’s latest foray into another environmentalist minefield unsurprising. The philosophical course of his government seems focused on fully embracing the marvels of the dark ages.
The ban will be on single-use plastics including checkout bags, cutlery, food-service ware made from or containing plastic that is hard to recycle, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, the government said in a statement.
Hear my prayer: A California appeals court has ruled that bees are “fish” for purposes of the state’s endangered species act.
They think we can’t find the lampposts when the lights are out.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact. Industry experts know this and have been trying to sound the alarm for several years. Critics are trying to place the blame on climate change (as they do with everything else) in the form of extended droughts and heatwaves. Those factors definitely exacerbate the problem, but this was going to happen in the next year or so anyway. And thus far, the government has done virtually nothing about it.
I think they’re wrong.
