He doesn't realize that no till actually preserves ground moisture, and carbon pollution, so that leaves me to ask what else does he not understand as he is preaching climate change to the youth?

Trudeau: Conservative Opposition ‘Denies That Climate Change Is Real’

While Liberals often call on Scheer to make clear what he would do to fight climate change, the Tory leader has in the past acknowledged the problem.
"Look, I think climate change is real. The Earth's climate is constantly changing and I think human beings have an impact on their environment," Scheer told CBC Radio's "Metro Morning" in October.
Asked at the time if that meant he believes climate change is created by human activity, Scheer responded: "I believe absolutely that human beings have an impact on their environment."
'Climate change is real and it is a global problem': Tory environment critic
Tory environment critic Ed Fast fired back by saying that Trudeau is not being truthful.
"The Conservative party has been very clear. Climate change is real and it is a global problem that requires global solutions," Fast told HuffPost Canada. "If we think that we can do this all by ourselves here in Canada, we're kidding ourselves."...……….More in the link

The Conservatives have to walk a fine line. On one hand, they have to have science based policies to appeal to average Canadians but science isn't something social conservatives are comfortable with.

Here is an older article illustrating the level of insanity our LIE-beral political masters and their less intelligent NDP cousins have reached!



With some comments of my own in brackets):

B.C. government to consider gas price ‘relief’ if prices continue to climb

By Richard Zussman: Online Journalist based at B.C. Legislature Global News

Published: April 18. 2019.

Keith Baldrey breaks down the political ramifications over the record gas prices across the Lower Mainland, which many are attributing to increases to the provincial carbon tax.

(WE have a couple of targets to point at for gas price increases! We do know that ANY INCREASE in the carbon tax sends ripples of inflation throughout the entire economy! And both LIE-berals and NDPers consider carbon tax scams to be the ideal way to control pollution! And it is a great mechanism for grabbing essential GRAVY for civil service union HOGS as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(And we know that the now deposed NDP Notley govt worked hard to INCREASE the selling price of Alberta oil and I think we can say that effort worked- after all the price of oil is slowly climbing on ALL MARKETS!!!!!!!!)

(In addition there may be a little spite - in the form of higher prices - being spewed by the oil companies at idiot LIE-berals even as the B.C. coast tanker ban is discussed in public consultations - where federal LIE-berals are doing everything in their power to CENSOR any voice opposing THEIR wishes!! B.C. LIE-beral HYPOCRITES DEMAND low oil prices- along with the ability to kill the oil patch with idiot carbon taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!)

B.C. Premier John Horgan says his government will look into measures to reduce the price of gasoline if the cost of filling up the tank keeps going up.

(But LIE-berals told us- and NDPers seconded the motion- that carbon tax SCAM is ESSENTIAL for controlling pollution- and they went on to tell us their plan is to put the price of oil up SO HIGH that we would give up using it!!!!! So isnt the current B.C. price for gas merely PROOF of how LIE-beral economic policies are working AS PLANNED?? Why all the fuss????????????)

(LIE-berals have insisted that sky high gas prices are good for us!! Or is it merely that LIE-berals are not getting as big a bowl of gravy as they desire from carbon scams?? Is it vexing them that oil companies in B.C. might be raking in profits and blaming LIE-berals who are taking heavy flak for high prices??????????)

(And what part do civil service HOGS play in this oil fiasco? They OWN most of the oil company stocks- and HOGS are always demanding MORE GRAVY so why is oil company profit suddenly a bad deal?? Unless LIE-beral carbon tax scams are putting up the price of everything FASTER than oil companies can dole out dividends to Hogs? Or are Hogs suddenly upset at the level ofr public hostility being thrown at LIE-berals over the carbon SCAM????????)

(Shall we assume that the LIE-beral policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul- and then taxing Paul to raise the gravy needed to bribe Peter is running into fiscal snags???) As we get ever closer to the debt wall and the end of easy govt credit!! And how much LIE-beral trouble is being generated by public SCORN that a $150 carbon rebate will compensate for $1500 in new carbon sam expenses for everything from food to heat!!!!!!!!!)

But the premier questions whether his government should be blamed for escalating gas prices.

(LIE-berals want all the money and all the power- and NO RESPONSIBILITY!!!!)

“I believe that what we can do is find as many alternatives for people and if the price increases persist through the summer we will look at other options,” Horgan said Thursday.

(Gosh! MORE public transit would be an option but LIE-berals are refusing to build it!! The construction of public transit would cut too deeply into the LIE-beral supply of gravy- thus it means NO NEW TRANSIT on offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“We have seen the summer gas gouging start in April. I appreciate it is earlier than normal for drivers to feel the pinch. We are hopeful prices will decline over time as market forces come into play. But we need more supply.”

(There is LOTS of oil sitting unused in Alberta but B.C. airheads refuse to use it!!)

Almost 34 cents of every litre of gas purchased in Metro Vancouver goes to provincial coffers. That includes the 17-cent TransLink tax, two motor fuel taxes totalling 8.5 cents, and the 8.9-cent carbon tax.

The carbon tax went up a penny on April 1.

Horgan says the provincial government has very little to do with the pricing increases, pointing out that carbon tax increases under his government have only driven up prices by two cents in a little more than a year and a half.

Instead, the B.C. premier is pointing his finger at oil and gas companies. Horgan says the price of a barrel of oil has remained relatively stable while gas prices have gone up quickly.

(Ah- so IT IS SOUR GRAPES for LIE-berals! The beef is that oil companies are profiting and LIE-beral entitlements are going un-fulfilled! And the stock dividends going to our Hogs are not big enough to quell the gas price unrest!!!!!!!)

“I’m as disappointed as other British Columbians when I see massive spikes in process with no rationale behind that. The carbon tax went up one penny on Monday. That does not reconcile with a 12 or 13 or 14-cent increase across the week,” Horgan said.

(But LIE-berals and their NDPer pals want to drive the carbon tax to AT LEAST $50 a megatonne from its current $20!! The LIE-beral purpose is to make people STOP using fossil fuel- so how can $1.70 a litre for gas be bad?? Unless ALL LIE-beral policy is based on double dealing HYPOCRISY- as I have said before?)

The B.C. Liberals have been calling on the government for nearly a year to provide relief to drivers at the pump. Leader Andrew Wilkinson says the province could decide to rebate some of the taxes on gas back to drivers.

(Shortly after the Yankee Revolution- a British General sourly observed: “the new Yankee republic will succeed ONLY until its leaders discover they can bribe their people with their own money”! Looks like Canada has reached the same insane point!!!!!)

“British Columbia has the highest gasoline prices in North America, the highest gasoline taxes. You have to ask yourself is there any ceiling on this or will John Horgan keep putting them up until we can’t pay anymore,” Wilkinson said.

“This government could easily pick a number, lets say $1.60 a litre, and say after that we are going to rebate the taxes to keep it at a more affordable level. Right now we are on a pathway to totally unaffordable gasoline.”

(But THAT IS the LIE-beral desire! They DO seek “UNAFFORDABLE GAS” so we will stop driving! And now they want to offer rebates so we will NOT STOP driving!! Just how confused are LIE-berals and their idiot NDP cousins???????)

(And WHY has Jagmeet Singh not been invited to comment on this crap? After all he wants to be PM- which means he SHOULD have a national carbon tax strategy at his finger tips! And he would be expected to referee the squabble between B.C. and Alberta- if the Jason Kenny govt shut down oil shipments to B.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The B.C. government has up until now focused on encouraging people to get out of their vehicles. Horgan says the increase in the carbon tax has been funnelled back to improving public transit.

(Uh huh- and what B.C. govt has done so far on the transit issue is too little and too late!! It is the standard LIE-beral effort- offer small tokens while making major gravy grabs!! LIE-berals recognize how close to bankrupt we are and are grabbing all the gravy they can as quickly as they can- to cover their OWN ASSES!!!!!!!!!)

“When I talk to the travelling public I understand the challenges they see before them. One of the ways to get out of high gas prices is to get into transit,” Horgan said.

(Uh huh- and its funny how many parts of the country either have NO public transit or very little - with much transit in suburbs and smaller cities SHUTTING DOWN in early evening!! If you are doing shift work as so many of us are now- you MUST DRIVE- or be unemployed as most transit is simply not fast enough or flexible enough to suit shift workers!! Nor is transit often suitable for contract and part time workers who must show up QUICKLY on short notice - when called in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“What we have done is we have determined that any increases to carbon taxes, the two cents we have added since we formed government we are putting that money right into transit.”

(Ah LIE-beral financing at its finest! They are so caring and spend so much on us- and yet so much more sticks to THEIR FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

You going to claim that image just popped into your head??


The reason for the pipeline being canned was not about money not being available. It will be made available for projects that 'fight global warming' (the UN version rather than the one reality paints) 'Save the planet' parameters would make building a 'road' as complicated and expensive as putting in a pipeline that carries the harshest products Canada makes.

If we are on the ball we can double our National debt before the purse strings tighten up again.
We can wipe out foreign villages with munitions away from home but in the forests we build bridges for the mice so they can get across a steam during a 100 year storm. That's how moral we are, . . . perhaps that is not the best term either.

Here is an article illustrating just how little respect LIE-berals have for Cdn democracy.

Thousands of Canadian voter cards sent to dead, non-citizens

LILLEY UNLEASHED: Canada's election system problem!

The integrity of the vote is all the rage right now.

Across the United States, a full week after the midterm elections, votes are being challenged, allegations of voter fraud made, ballots found, ballots recounted.

Have the U.S. midterms been a fair election?

Canadians often sit and judge Americans smugly on issues like this, but should we?

MALCOLM: Liberals’ planned voter ID changes ‘incredibly concerning’
FUREY: Liberal election law changes bring back vouching.

(“Vouching” is the dirty, underhanded method by which unscrupulous civil service union Hogs MAY be undermining our election process by allowing un-identified strangers to vote in critical ridings where only a few votes will make a difference for a LIE-beral candidate!)

(NO real notes or records are kept regarding how many people are allowed to vote based on vouching- so it is difficult to measure the scope of the problem! Certainly- civil service Hogs RESENT any investigation into their actions- but then Hogs have been engaged in a gross conflict of interest for several decades -along with their LIE-beral allies!)

(Hog support for LIE-berals is CRITICAL to LIE-beral election success- and in return- LIE-berals offer Hogs pay and pensions that are not even LEGAL for a private company to offer its workers!)

Do you know how many non-citizens or dead people could have voted in the last election? Or how many did? What about adding in people that have abandoned Canada and allowing them to vote?

(It is understandable that there would be the odd slip up regarding keeping voter records and deceased people accurate- somebody dies in summer and the electoral list for a fall election is not updated quickly enough! But as we have seen in United States- there seems to be something more sinister going on -and our LIE-berals appear to be working hard to play that same sinister game in our elections!)

We shouldn’t be so smug.

Not only have we had problems with past elections, the new bill before Parliament to fix this will in some ways make things worse.

One of the political legends that gets passed around reporters on Parliament Hill is the story of dead people voting. Be it in full elections or leadership votes, there are plenty of tales of dead people voting.

Is it that far fetched?

According to Elections Canada, about 207,000 voter information cards were sent out in the last election to people that were already dead. Another 57,500 went to people that were not citizens.

(We really should ask if over 260,000 “mistakes” in one election is not a sign of something sinister?)

(WE know that LIE-berals abandoned their electoral reform crap the moment an all party committee insisted there be a national referendum held BEFORE the electoral changes could be made! So why would LIE-beral committee chief Maryam Monsef have a shrieking melt down in the middle of our Parliament simply because the committee wanted that referendum? Unless cynical people like myself were right about deceitful LIE-beral plans to paralyze our parliament with idiot electoral reform deals?)

With the Trudeau government set to allow voter information cards to be used as identification in the next election we should all be worried.

Are dead people going to vote? Did they vote in the last election?

What about non-citizens?

(We have already had reports of non citizens and some illegals getting voter cards! And as I have suggested in the past- LIE-berals are deliberately importing masses of illegals to create a loyal LIE-beral voting block that will distort our election process! LIE-berals KNOW their values are not acceptable to ordinary Cdns- hence THEIR NEED for a new voting block- untainted by “white privilege”!!)

The scary thing is that Elections Canada recently admitted that they have no way of tracking whether a someone is a citizen before voting, describing the process as an honour system.

Vancouver radio station News 1130 had asked Elections Canada about safeguards against non-citizens voting and was told there are effectively none.

(LIE-berals KNOW about this lack of safeguards and they are moving to open the system further- INSTEAD of closing loop holes! LIE-berals are apparently deliberately reducing the level of fair play and honesty in our elections!!!!!!!!!)

“While we clearly communicate the citizenship requirement to vote, we depend on individuals to accurately indicate their Canadian citizenship, so we recognize the process is not perfect,” Elections Canada told the station via email.

So an honour system?

(Yes- in a country where hundreds of billions of dollars of tax money are up for grabs and where identity theft is RAMPANT! And LIE-berals clearly expect to PROFIT from these loopholes during elections!!!!!!!!!)

Look, I suspect that most non-citizens would not vote because they know the rules. There would be others who would vote mistakenly believing it was OK.

(Yes- with municipal LIE-berals telling us that illegals SHOULD BE ALLOWED to vote in the city they have invaded and now live in- because that is convenient for LIE-berals who expect support from illegals- against Canadian interests!)

Then, there are also those who would vote knowing they were breaking the rules to try and sway the vote.

(Considering the high stakes for illegals and for Muslims in the coming federal election- one has to assume there might be SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS of people seeking to vote- even though they know they should not!)

(Consider the 100,000 illegals who are here already and then add in the 59,000 mostly Syrian refugees and realize that LIE-berals have allowed these people to SPONSOR OTHERS who want to come to Canada! LIE-berals have not even fully identified the illegals and the security checks on Muslims consist of nothing more than having HAMAS TERRORISTS assure us the Syrians are good people!)

(If LIE-berals lose the next federal election- the borders will be closed and thousands of LIE-beral “supporters” will be blocked from entry to Canada! There is considerable personal benefit to the illegals in a LIE-beral victory and thus there is strong urge TO CHEAT AND VOTE regardless of permission!)

There are more than 57,000 non-citizens and almost 207,000 dead people that Elections Canada knows about.

Could there be more?

One political operative that I spoke to told me of comparing the voters list, the one that showed who had voted, to obituaries and other databases on recent passings.

His comparison turned up many people that had voted despite being dead for years.

People Elections Canada obviously didn’t know about.

(Worse yet- Elections Canada may well KNOW! And not care- because they are Hogs who benefit from a LIE-beral victory!)

There is no perfect system but there is obviously room for improvement, especially when you find out about the general state of the list of electors.

Will people even be voting in the right riding?

Beyond the dead and non-citizens, Elections Canada also says that about 16% of the entries on the list of electors contain incorrect information. Former chief electoral officer Marc Mayrand told a Commons committee a few years ago that even after adjusting for corrections during and after the election, about 12% of the entries on the list contain incorrect information.

To put that in perspective, 330,570 voter information cards were returned as “undeliverable” and 509,397 had to be corrected after a complaint.

(WE are now talking about over a million voter cards being issued from 3 sources-some went to dead people- where somebody WAS COLLECTING the mail for the dead- plus all those “undeliverable cards” that came back to govt - plus a huge pile of other cards with wrong information!)

This is what Justin Trudeau wants to allow as a form of identification?

(And yet LIE-berals are deeply OFFENDED when we question their integrity!)

Trudeau’s change won’t improve the integrity of the voters list or make sure only those eligible cast ballots, it will actually make voter fraud easier to conduct.

In fact, I see little in his Bill C-76 that will tackle issues, such as voter fraud.

(AS I have said- I strongly suspect LIE-berals WANT VOTER FRAUD - as long as it works in their favour! Ontari-owe LIE-berals restricted third party advertising during elections ONLY AFTER it became clear that civil service union Hogs had turned against the LIE-beral govt- and Wynne-bag did not want Hogs working for NDP- against HER! But Hogs attacking Conservatives was no concern for LIE-berals and was ignored for decades - in that gross conflict of interest!)

Instead, the big change in Trudeau’s bill to change elections is to allow Canadians who moved away, and have no intention of coming back to this country, to cast a ballot.

(We have had a warning re how many people carry Cdn passport as a handy convenience- one has only to think of the 50,000 so called Cdns lined up on the docks in Lebanon demanding “their” govt rescue them from the fighting zone between Israelis and Hamas and Hezzbollah!)

(LIE-berals consider it insulting to ask why refugees should return to their home lands to visit - right after LIE-beral judges accept their stories about how they are fleeing persecution and violence in the old country- and award them with Cdn citizenship!)

Celebrities, such as Neil Young or Donald Sutherland, that left Canada for Hollywood in the 1960s will be able to have a say in our elections.

Canadians that moved back to their foreign ancestral homelands and will never return will soon be able to cast a ballot.

This could add as many as 2 million electors to the list, more than the total number of ballots cast in all four Atlantic provinces in 2015.

The next election could end up being very tight.

Like our American neighbours to the south, we live in a divided country where a percentage point here or there could make a dramatic difference.

The idea that our election could be decided by people that don’t live here, or that do live here but aren’t eligible to vote or that used to live here but are dead should worry us all.

Unfortunately, we are governed by a leader who sees no problem with these issues, only opportunity.

(Good old Canada- SUCKER NATION OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that dubious honour LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
