War On Agriculture

Climate Cult War On Agriculture 39 Comments

Kevin Hursh;

The most blatant example is European farm policy mandating less fertilizer, fewer crop protection products and more organic production. The measures are particularly severe in the Netherlands where agriculture is in a downward spiral with thousands of farms being expropriated.

The Canadian issue sparking the most controversy is the 30 percent reduction target for fertilizer emissions. Although the government continues to maintain this will never mean a mandated reduction in fertilizer use, some farmers and farm groups are skeptical. The government used to promise that firearms would never be confiscated and look how that has evolved.

Less obvious to the average producer is the switch in emphasis on government funding for research. Increasingly, research money is tied to projects tied to climate change mitigation.

In the near future, farms with net sales of more than $1 million per year will have to complete an environmental farm plan to receive AgriInvest support. This isn’t totally unreasonable, but it seems like the thin edge of the wedge with climate change considered by the woke culture to be an emergency that requires all sorts of drastic action.

Related: Farmers say they are still struggling. Restaurants say price increases are pushing them to closure. Critics say supermarket prices are artificially inflated without international competition. Politicians, leery of offending voters, don’t say much at all.

Chopping the truth, not just the birds

It doesn’t take long to recognize the fallacies contained in this nonsensical piece of green cheerleading. Is “levelized” even a word? In any case, this form of measurement is akin to judging length using a rubber band instead of a measuring stick. And who knew that the wind is guaranteed to always pick up after 8 hours?

Using a measurement called “levelized cost of energy,” the report found a new natural gas “peaker” plant, like the one currently proposed for Windsor, can produce a kilowatt hour of electricity for 23 cents. It costs 21 cents per kilowatt hour to generate electricity with a new solar farm coupled with eight hours of battery storage. A new wind farm with eight hours of storage can generate that amount of electricity for 11 cents.

Two peas in a pod.

Stephen McIntyre- Unfortunately, in their zeal to silence supposed disinformation, Lewandowsky and his “Expert Panel” perpetrated analysis of the type that we’ve seen too often from the fellowship that countenanced Hide the Decline. Let’s start with sourcing “2800 deaths”. This figure appears in their Table 4.2, which stated that misinformation resulted in 8% fewer vaccinations, resulting in 2800 extra deaths (35% !) in period from Mar 1, 2021 to Nov 27, 2021. Compared to model.

Liberals, “hold my beer”.

Globe and Mail- Liberals withdraw controversial amendments to gun law

Bill C-21 initially targeted handguns but in late-stage amendments the Liberals expanded the law to also target assault-style rifles.

The changes had the rare impact of uniting all opposition parties against the law. Until the proposed changes, both the NDP and Bloc Québécois had supported the bill. The Assembly of First Nations also unanimously opposed the amendments, which would criminalize guns that First Nations people commonly use for hunting.

Teck was going to spend $20 billion in the oil sands, now it’s totally out. Blame the feds

Drill, Baby, Drill 19 Comments

Teck, one of Canada’s largest mining companies, has been around for over 100 years. But even with all that experience, they couldn’t handle the federal government’s Impact Assessment. They were going to spend $20 billion on their Frontier Oil Sands Project. The initial application was in 2012, but eight years later, they didn’t have an answer, so they pulled it. On Thursday, they sold off their last oil sands interests and are out of the oil sands entirely. Wonder why?

Chinada

Chinada Claws of the Panda 29 Comments

How frustrating it must be for the regime in Beijing to have the technology to track every Chinese citizen under a social credit scheme — yet remain stymied in their efforts to curb these dastardly criminals.

– Australian Federal Police have charged nine people after smashing an alleged Chinese-Australian money laundering syndicate.

– The group allegedly moved an estimated $10 billion out of Australia while amassing a blue-chip property portfolio in Sydney.

– Police have seized properties and luxury assets worth at least $150 million.

– Two of the charged suspects are alleged Chinese-Australian gangsters in Sydney, with a combined personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion.

– The pair are accused of accumulating wealth by becoming the Australian-based bankers of choice for international drug cartels and wealthy Chinese nationals seeking to circumvent China’s capital-flight laws.

Federal agents have dismantled an alleged Chinese-Australian money laundering organisation that moved an estimated $10 billion offshore while amassing a blue-chip property portfolio comprising Sydney mansions, a luxury city building and hundreds of acres of land near Sydney’s second airport.

On Wednesday, Australian Federal Police officers seized properties and luxury assets worth at least $150 million and arrested and charged nine suspects, including two alleged Chinese-Australian gangsters in Sydney with a combined personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion.

The arrests bring to an end a property-buying spree that one official source said included land purchased for a new Sydney suburb owned and developed by Chinese organised crime near Sydney’s new international airport.

The landmark AFP operation uncovered an industrial-scale shadow-banking organisation that stretched from Australia to Asia, the Caribbean, Switzerland, America and the United Arab Emirates, and which facilitated the purchase of Australian real estate that police sources suggest might be worth billions. The syndicate, alleged to be responsible for the money laundering, was deemed to be such a risk to the national interest it was designated an Australian Priority Organisation Target by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission last year.

The AFP operation, and the fact that the organisation targeted is just one of several large money-laundering syndicates operating in Australia, will raise fresh questions about the role of foreign funds in inflating the nation’s property market and other legislative and policy gaps in the financial and migration systems that continue to be exploited by criminals.

Police have also seized cryptocurrency and are examining how the syndicate used crypto exchanges to transfer tainted funds around the world without drawing the attention of authorities, according to confidential sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Hey, remember that report about the 11 Canadian politicians compromised by Chinese funding? The one that just sorta went away?

Tucker Carlson for Canadian PM?

Baiting The Left Shiny Pony 22 Comments

Naturalized Americans aren’t eligible to become President of the United States. But there aren’t such rules about non-Canadians become Prime Minister of Canada, are there? In fact, for all intents & purposes, Michael Ignatieff is much more American than Canadian, yet he had a shot at becoming PM.

So would it be so far-fetched about starting a campaign to get Tucker Carlson to become PM of Canada … if even just for one day? Watching Leftist heads explode over this possibility would be well worth it! LOL
