Canada Update: ‘Suddenly, Climate Hysteria is Gone’ – ‘Only 4% of Canadians think climate change is our top problem’
By Admin

By Ron Clutz

Joe Oliver writes at Financial Post And suddenly, climate change hysteria is gone.  Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.

Only 4% of Canadians think climate change is our top problem.
But many of them are hard-core activists ready to block projects.

Over the past several months, public concern about climate change has declined dramatically, replaced by newfound enthusiasm for the development of Canada’s vast oil and gas reserves. The federal government is now under mounting political pressure to expedite the construction of pipelines to tidewater that will bring economic growth, employment, energy security and funding for social programs or tax relief.

What caused the sharp reversal in public opinion?
And will the government actually deliver?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Of the Canucks I know, *NONE* are bunny huggers. None. I have had far more arguments of that kind down here in the states than ever up there.

Now, as usual, the statement that these are all Western Canadians. I know a handful from over in the Maritime provinces (that also agree)... but mostly of the Western provinces.

I think this is a change in media to allow Ottowa to very publicly change its mind about pipelines, and drilling, and logging, and cattle, and such to try to placate Alberta and Saskatchewan, who are very seriously looking to part ways from Canada

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

You may be right. Virtually every environmental edict has been a direct attack on energy, mining, farming, or ranching (all productive occupations that create wealth and extract resources from the ground).  Back East, there is a lot more of the more parasitic occupations that make their living regulating or acting as middlemen.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Moreso in Canada. There is some sort of weirdo profit-sharing thing between provinces. Alberta has been losing money hand over fist to that edict, while getting beat like a red-headed stepchild. That's why Alberta is leading the charge toward separation... Saskatchewan not far behind.

It is a real thing in Alberta. The folks are pissed off, ever since covid and the trucker's strike.

Seems that... on this topic, at least... Canadians have a lot more common sense regarding the realities of the "environment" and "climate" than do a large cohort of Americans...

When most of your population lives in the southern third of your country or snuggled up to some oceanic warm water current, you have a little better understanding of winter, and what warmer climates would mean...(no more Ice roads)...more agriculture, easier mining...
