Trudeau’s Canadian Newspeak: Government Claims Inflation Caused By Climate Change
by Mark Jeftovic Oct 8, 2024 in News and Opinion Reading
The Trudeau government cabinet wanted to rename “inflation” to be called “heat-flation” in order “to persuade Canadians to associate the rising cost of living with climate change”. [emphasis, links added]
According to Blacklocks Reporter, The Privy Council Office convened a focus group in April (taxpayer-funded, obviously) to test out the labels ‘climate-flation’ and ‘heat-flation’.
Nobody in the focus group had ever heard those terms,
“participants were informed ‘heat-flation’ is when extreme heat caused by climate change makes food and other items more expensive, and that ‘climate-flation’ was a broader term that encompassed all of the ways in which climate change can cause prices to go up including but not limited to extreme heat,”
It’s a stunning example of Orwellian “Newspeak”, where public opinion was controlled by arbitrarily redefining the meaning of words.
