Our oil and gas sector accounts for approximately 26% of Canada's total, which itself is roughly 1.5% of world emissions. Basic math then says we're looking at about 0.35% of world CO2 emissions. Trudeau will hobble our economy in order and infuriate resource provinces in order to do little more than virtue signal. Notably, world leaders clapped politely, but no one else made a similar offer. Other world oil gas and coal producers are ramping up production as world prices spike, eager to pull in billions and billions of dollars. Trudeau will just borrow more money instead. And if Alberta and/or Saskatchewan wants to separate, well who cares, it's not like they're important anyway since they don't vote Liberal. Canada will impose a hard cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday at the COP26 summit in Glasgow. Calling the promise "a major commitment" that should inspire other resource-rich countries to dramatically curb their own emissions, Trudeau said Canada is prepared to limit the growth of one of the country's largest industries to help the world hold the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. "We'll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net-zero by 2050," Trudeau said during his two-minute speech in front of other world leaders gathered in Scotland. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-cop26-cao-oil-and-gas-1.6232639?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral

Radical climate change policy is anti-human. We are carbon footprints. We need heat in winter, shelter, food, and reliable means of transportation to our places of employment. Carbon taxes drive up the costs of all those items and are an assault on humanity. Why do you think the US hasn’t implemented carbon taxes? There are millions of climate change zealots who are quite happy to watch humanity live under a form of low emissions subsistence slavery. This movement is real and unfolding before your eyes. Canada’s leadership is in full support.

Strange how one guy, Trudeau, has the right to fly Canada's flag at half mast perpetually without considering the rights and wishes of the other 37 million citizens of this country. Why don't our elected MPs awaken from their sleep and speak up?

The ruling gives $40,000 to each person who was apprehended by child welfare whether they were abused or not and whether they were in the care of a foster home for one day, one week, one month, six months or five years. Simply being placed in a foster home should not warrant receiving compensation. Children were placed there because they were in danger in their natural parent's or where they were living. We had a couple native children for a week or so. The ten year old told us the male adult in their home had put her hand on the hot stove to teach her something. Should they get $40,000 each for being protected from brutal behavior? Many of these kids were apprehended to protect them and there was no other place to put them. Our human rights tribunals should be abolished. They are out of control. Also the human rights tribunal that ordered it has no jurisdiction to make such a ruling which could cost Canadians billions of dollars. That is why the government has been trying to appeal it. The government is willing to fairly compensate those who were really abused, but if one was treated well in a foster home, I don't see how they are entitled to tens of thousands of dollars. I cannot believe that 50,000 children were abused in foster homes. Claiming deprivation of culture or native language doesn't cut it. Provincial government's child welfare systems did the best they could with the only system that was available at the time. This could cost Canadians billions of dollars.

I know a lot of Canadians have died serving this very flag, my best friend made the long trip home with this flag draped over his coffin, and while you don't have to respect it, that is a matter of choice, it comes with the many freedoms you take advantage of living in this nation everyday...Freedoms that many men and women have paid a price for you to enjoy...And yet you are willing to live under all the protections it provides you and some how you have gathered up the courage to bad mouth it's flag which is a national symbol of this nation with all it's warts and all it has given the world. *uck you, you give me your address and I'll gladly send you the money for a plane ticket back to the communist country you came from. Where freedom is nothing more than a foreign concept, We could have you back in the gulag in the matter of days comrade..

I don't always agree with Conrad Black but on this one I definitely think he's on track. Trudeau's moronic flag at half staff gesture was typical at first, all style without substance. But in lieu of anything else he's kept it permanently at half staff for months now with no indication it will ever change. This is confusing foreigners, as Black points out, something I hadn't really considered. The most frequent opening conversational gambit that I encountered during the past three very social weeks in the refreshingly mask-free, socially undistanced city of London, was the question of why the Canadian flag on top of Canada House in Trafalgar Square appeared to be permanently at half-mast. I had the heavy duty of conceding that it was part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s endlessly protracted act of national self-humiliation and confected grief over the history of the white man’s treatment of Indigenous people in Canada over the last 500 years. The many informed people whom I encountered in London could not be described as a broadly based and deeply enthusiastic group of admirers of Justin Trudeau as a leader and clear champion of the Canadian national interest. In general, in my experience, he is seen in Europe, as in the United States, as the chic and dapper bearer of a name well-known in Canada, who deserves the credit due to being a consecutive election winner in a G7 country, but is nevertheless seen as a feckless and rather superficial posturer. Like most people when absent from the country where they reside, I always do my best to put Canada‘s case forward as persuasively as I can to doubting foreigners. My explanation for a permanent flag in official mourning over the Canadian High Commission in the greatest public square in Britain was greeted with universal, and not always polite, incredulity. It is a challenging posture to try to defend. For reasons that he will perhaps someday make clear, Trudeau has taken it upon himself to go to unheard of and absurdly histrionic lengths to propagate the historic fraud that Canada should be permanently ashamed of its treatment of the native inhabitants of the land. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/conrad-black-lowered-flags-are-a-symbol-of-a-nation-in-decline

Canada's climatards: "Alberta oil is bad. We need to buy our oil from ethically challenged countries like Saudi Arabia and get it shipped thousands of miles across the Atlantic in supertankers, which are the only oil-bearing vessels which can sail through our tidewaters." Right now the US is begging OPEC to increase oil production because Biden and Trudeau did everything that they could to curtail our energy sectors in NA. In actual fact they're traitors, but leftists are so stupid that they can't get enough virtue signalling, no matter what the topic is or how much it harms our country.

We are witness to the unraveling of our country. Foreign investment discouraged, an up and coming work force that won't work, and everybody thinking they're a victim. Canada's fucked. It will never be what we have the potential to be. A country of cry-babies. Yes, some my kin have been here for thousands of years, and again, yes, the buffalo are gone. They're not coming back. Get over it.

Hard to do this without border controls. For example, Democrat controlled states impose some gun control while Republican states have almost none. This makes it difficult for the Democrat states to keep weapons, including automatic weapons out of their states. There is also the problem in America that the more rural states with lower populations have a disproportionate amount of impact at the federal level. This is a known feature of the US constitution, but it doesn't work as well when the two populations - rural wester/southern and urban north and west, despise each other because they're operating from entirely different information sources.

As a law and order commiserative, I approve of this.

We've already paid (even though I or my family had nothing whatsoever to do with it). How many times are we going to pay? It never stops.

The problem is that since the Liberals have had years to stack the courts with progressive ideologues the outcome of any such case is fairly obvious.

The whole residential school issue has been hijacked and vastly overblown by red power activists and left - liberal politicians to further their radical agenda of more state control of society and to make Canadians pay billions to FN. There was some sexual and physical abuse, but there was no genocide. There were no "unmarked graves". There are neglected graves, the existence of which has been known by natives all along. But it serves the purpose to get far more compensation and sympathy to change the narrative to unmarked graves and genocide. Keeping the flag at half mast plays for Trudeau's agenda and base to make people think we are in some kind of crisis that needs his dictatorial powers.

that doesn't mean that heart disease is a much bigger problem than covid and yet isn't used as an excuse to justify authoritarian crackdowns nor should it be and neither should covid

Oh for Gods sake. You nutcakes have a dozen topics already to whine about vaccines. Do you have to bring the whining over to every damned topic?

The flag will remain at half mast, fully vaccinated people will continue to be required to wear masks, the English language will be outlawed in Quebec in federal buildings (and all public buildings), resource development will be discouraged, taxes on transportation and food will be raised along with the salaries of our highest paid public servants. Canada is ruled by privileged, out of touch posers. Canadians support them because they’ve become so complacent, weakened, and brainwashed by official narratives that they’re unable or unwilling to question the status quo. Canada is being transformed from a forward-thinking advanced country to a zombie people of self-identified victims who blame their shortcomings on perceived past or current “injustices”. Collect the pogey, pass the doob, ridicule colonial Canada, and give away the farm to the most radical selfish people. Trudeau’s Canada is a country of shame, reparations, and living in the past.

Well, you can always go back to your home country since you hate this one so much.

Westcanman , thanks for starting this thread, I’ve been on lots of forums and most people just don’t know the truth. I’ve been mentioning ivermectin to people but they still think it’s for horses, because of the strong campaign against anything but the vaccines. I had to show that its use on humans won a Nobel in 2015, and then the response was near shock. The MSM and our governments are going to pay for what they’ve done when the truth finally comes out.

Yep, my bad. 70% vaxed, and 70% of the covid deaths are among the vaxed.
