TORONTO—The federal government will end up with the power to regulate almost every facet of life—such as when you can drive or where you can live—if its law aimed at curbing harmful greenhouse gas emissions is allowed to stand, Ontario’s top court heard Monday.


Ottawa’s climate-change law is so broad, said a lawyer for the province at the start of a four-day Appeal Court hearing, that it would give the federal government powers that would be destabilizing to Canada in the name of curbing the cumulative effects of global-warming emissions.

“They could regulate where you live, how often you drive your car,” Josh Hunter told the five-justice panel. “It would unbalance the federation.”

Ridiculous.

If there are any nations that could BENEFIT from a "global warming", is not Canada near the top of the list?  (after Siberia, of course!)
