When Will Canada Wake Up or Stand Up?
China stops pork imports due to a cdrtain substance found in a shipment brought in by a "falsified" permit. Really?
And the media laps this up and claims "China has played by the rules" so it is up to Canada to prove this negative.
Is Canada (headed by a Liberal government) that fearful of China as a bully? Messages, facts, interpretations and reporting are skewed to avoid offending China?
Who is the communist country now?

Perspective and Context: Carbon Emissions Reductions
"...To produce the electric power needed to offset the lost fossil fuel energy, Canada would have to build 2.5 hydro power dams the size of British Columbia’s $13-billion Site C project somewhere in the country “every year for the foreseeable future” leading up to the proposed 2050 carbon reduction targets...
...In 2018, world consumption of fossil fuels rose to 11,865 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe)....University of Colorado scientist Roger Pielke Jr. did some of the rough numbers. “There are 11,161 days until 2050. Getting to net zero by 2050 requires replacing one mtoe of fossil fuel consumption every day starting now.” On a global basis, such a transition would require building the equivalent of one new 1.5-gigawatt nuclear plant every day for the next 30 years.
...According to a U.S. government site, it takes about three million solar panels to produce one gigawatt of energy, which means that by 2050 the world will need 3,000,000 X 11,865 solar panels to offset fossil fuels. The wind alternative would require about 430 new wind turbines each of the 11,865 days leading to 2050..."

Climate Emergency One Day, Pipeline Approval the Next...Another Day in the Liberal Tightrope Circus Act
"..In addition, he said the government intended to use the profits derived from the project to fund renewable energy in Canada. “We’ve decided that every dollar the federal government earns from this project will be invested in the clean energy transition,” Trudeau said..."

Canada's Genocide: Media Reports Justin has Accepted "Genocide" from Report Release? What Did He Really Say?
"...So cleanly carving genocide off as just some other historic wrong the prime minister can formally apologize for without needing to personally own any responsibility isn’t going to work, either..."
Regardless, even though Butts is gone, the Liberal "change the channel" mode is in high gear. And was shown how hastily the Liberals wanted to change the channel with its banned plastics announcement. Whereby Justin coukd not answer nor string a proper sentence together when it came to his lay up question about family use of water.

Hollywood Made a Movie about Bre-X (Fraud, Raising Funds, Deliberate Misrepresentation, Profit), Why Not About Alberta's Oil Sands and the Eco-Socialist Crusaders (Fraud, Raising Funds, Deliberate Misrepresentation, Profit)
"...In her submissions, Krause evidenced the efforts of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and many other deep-pocketed U.S. donors, to shut down Canadian pipeline projects. She provided the Senate with a link to the pages of U.S. tax returns evidencing more than 400 payments to more than 100 groups involved in The Tar Sands Campaign in Canada, the U.S. and in Europe. Krause even evidenced the link between some of these donors and efforts to influence the recent Alberta election in favour of Rachel Notley.
While funds keep flowing in to block Canada’s resource sector, foreign investment in our natural resource industries is at an all-time low. That has been a direct contributor to Canada’s economy limping along at paltry 0.1-per-cent growth in GDP.
Collusion between foreign interests and local eco-radicals is shackling Canada’s economic potential for years, and perhaps decades, to come, and Canadians have a right to know about this plot. Businesses, once killed, are not easily resurrected. Investors scared off by a hostile investment and legal climate may never return. That impacts real jobs and real people. The facts are known. The question is, what will our government do about it?.."

When Trudeau Catches Foot In Mouth Disease: Banning Plastics
All that needed to be said was something much simpler for such a simple task, yet Trudeau's entourage missed informing him on what Canadians actually do to combat this plastics problem when it comes to drinking water. When asked the easy layup question, our environmentalist Prime Minister who lives his life by facts and science responds with:
“...We uh, we have uh recently switched to drinking water bottles out of uh, water out of uh, when we have water bottles out of uh plastic, sorry, away from plastic towards paper umm, like drink box water bottles sort of things...” What?!?!
After four years in his new gig this will be an interesting election campaign.
