Great angst has been expressed by some of Canada’s more serious-minded journalists over the Liberals’ creation of a slush fund to help the newspaper industry over its financial troubles.
A current example is an effort by environmental activists to once again influence opinion by force of terminology. Some years back, when American conservatives succeeded in turning “liberal” into a dirty word, liberals and left-wingers successfully rechristened themselves “progressives,” a term now almost universally adopted in whatever publication you care to read.
Across the province in Guelph, city council agreed to recognize “the climate crisis” but refused to call it an emergency, having curiously concluded that an emergency has more negative connotations than a crisis. Colwood, a “fast growing, family-friendly waterfront community” near Victoria, B.C., went with emergency over crisis, opposed only by two councillors who felt it meant little since the city wasn’t actually going to do anything different.
The Toronto Star, of course, is already marching loyally in line, reporting breathlessly that “an intense sense of emergency” is behind a plan “to shift Canada’s entire economy to battle climate change,” launched by no less an evangelist than David Suzuki, who presumably hopes his attempt will fare better than former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion’s failed crusade to do likewise.
What happened to global warming? oh it started cooling & politicians still want the tax money so change the name.
More fear mongering
She has become climate change Boadacea..needs to get real about balanced approach to our lowering carbon but still dynamic fossil fuel economy. Unlikely, as too many zealots tied to Just-in-times' coat tails..and that ship's asinking..
I wonder if these idiots can be sued after they they are not in power anymore? How serious a potential crime is it to purposely mislead an entire country in order to have power, a job and what a nice swimming pool? A car? Wtf if those laws don’t exist we should make them
Sue73157747 She just needs to tell at us louder. Then we will run for the emergency exits.
Always be ware of people who put people in the 'them' category as this article does. The is trying to divide us into us vs them. Guess what, we all breathe the same air. Your wallet will not save you from chocking to death.
Raising this to defcon 1 emergency status may backfire on the politicians by making voters fear climate policy more than climate change.
Doomsday looming....
Give Environmental Barbie a pill so her nose grows every time she open her mouth with another stupidity
Do we have a spending emergency also?
Reality : 'Fraudulent science is coming unraveled' emergency! ClimateFraud ClimateScam
There are only a few months left of their jobs so that constitutes an emergency
JaggerMickOZ There is no emergency but if you insist tell us:- 1. What's going to happen. 2. Give dates and; if appropriate, numbers for the above. 3. Tell us what you propose to do. 4. Provide a cost benefit analysis of those proposals. I'll wait.
Its a money emergency - for all those with heavy investments in renewables!!
Yell it louder and repeat it when you’re drunk
You morally deprived person!
'Immediate risk', that's the definition of 'emergency'. We have time for sensible preventative measures. Drones at Heathrow is not that. Stopping traffic is not that. Taxing the poorest is not that. Stop virtue signalling!
Lol ! I thought that this was a picture of Trudeau in drag….🤣
🐂💩
Nuclear weapons and the burning of fossil fuels (as well as the release of greenhouse gases through industrial livestock land farming) are the top two risks to human survival. We should take this seriously and the perpetrators will be prosecuted. Life will go on and get better
Yes, it is
No it's a Liberal mess that will be sorted out in October when the are voted out of office .
It’s going to be fun for KellyMcParland to tell the grandkids he was too selfish and shortsighted for “disruption in how people live their lives”.
“The issue becomes “settled,” and only ignoramuses are deemed to raise it any more. It’s a ploy long known to despots, dictators and autocrats: declare a national emergency and you can get away with almost anything in response. “ cathmckenna JustinTrudeau
Well if it's such an emergency let's go to war with Asia already and put a stop to their dam polluting. China already asking for Canadian boots up their ass. Let's do it libs. This is the future you want
.....a climate GENOCIDE ....RUN!!!!!!!!
Yup, she’s very very loud & yelling it from the rooftops so it must be true
An emergency tax problem and re-election fear mongering slogan fest. Meaning no more jet travel all over the country for photo-ops using instead digital conference calls. No more limousines as ALL governments would be using EV’s. So where is PMJT’s EV fleet?
I think you will find it’s a press and MSM emergency. Get ready the political climate is ACTUALLY changing and you are going to be swept away in a Tsunami.
The only emergency is the amount of stupidity that Canadians have to put up with from old yeller.
Someone should tell that blonde bimbo to shut up. Carbon taxes do nothing for climate
british_north A certain ratcheting up of the messaging.
Yes it’s an emergency, so why aren’t you travelling on your broom?
You can say a thousand time but you still can't tell Canadians how this carbon tax can help the climate.
Now it's climate emergency! But what will it be tomorrow: -Climate weirding -Global warming -Climate change -Climate disruption -Climate chaos -Climate herpes -Climate cancer -Climate apocalypse -Climageddon! ?
Public debt, wages, unemployment— who cares? For , the real problem is temperature and weather. 🌞
The National Post will change its name to Alberta Sands Post
this is a lie.
Oh Yeah! Would Bill Nye Lie?
Actually no it isn’t.
Climate Emergency! Translation; election time is near. Are voters still actually falling for this nonsense? If they are, they definitely should not be allowed to vote.
Good article!
May your legacy be that you killed the earth for your family and friends. Live life for today?
She is nuts
Damn! If this new catch phrase burns out like the last one they won't have any more apocalyptic phrases to use. If there was any truth to their claims there wouldn't be any reason to change the term in the first place. See how wrong they are?
boucheetoreil Coming from a climate bitch! 😂
'Having declared themselves superior to others, progressives now want to alter the debate on carbon emissions by changing the language in use.' I remembered similar statement in the Animal Farm.
It's going to be truly sad when Britain turns into Siberia next year... Oh wait, the alarmists don't want you to recall THAT predication, from 2004. 🙄
CIimateBarbie Politicians love to tell people what to be afraid of. Generally, just the really stupid people believe.
Now Katy will Lib-eralate you of your hard earned dollars in an ever increasing Carbon Tax-Grab.
CLIMATE BARBIE’S NEXT USELESS MONEY EASTING PROJECT
Sunspot cycle
Actually, if the attitudes above are a measure of the species, I think it’s time to let this human genome fungus on earth consume itself. Don’t bother caring- please. I just hope dogs make it through, though.
Repeat it and say it loudly.
Lack of money is a reality taxgrab October
Perhaps invoking the war measures act would be appropriate. I noticed it was a bit windier today than normal with I took as a sign of a climate emergency
Now let’s call “October Emergency”. Call the election and boot these bozos out ASAP !! cdnpoli
I can’t decide if I like Climageddon or Climapocalypse better
CIimateBarbie This lady needs to be put on medication ! Wow. How embarrassing of a life .. hoax lair resign
The only emergency is needing to put McKenna in a straitjacket
CIimateBarbie Why will no one from the MSM call cathmckenna out for her excessive use of airplanes? How is this reducing pollution and carbon emissions?
She needs emergency help!
It’s very concerning that the very people who predict a 1C increase in temperature in 100 years, cannot tell me if it will rain tomorrow.
A major “climate shift” is coming to Ottawa
Everyone knows it's a lie.....but go along with it anyway. Will anyone tell the truth besides MaximeBernier ?
Lets just go full climate apocalypse. Let’s do this thing.
PresidentCoin
Praying in October that I wont have to endure this much longer
My beer supply is getting low...now thats an emergency!!
Blah blah tell that to Judith Curry.
Its a freekin cold spring up North.... Need to burn more coal 😎
say it louder
🎼and the bubble headed bleached blond comes on at five. She’ll be telling you about climate crap with a gleam in her eyes...
LOL 😂The crazy, going crazier, Progs are more ridiculous than ever. Yes, please shift your ENTIRE ECONOMY 🇨🇦 to combat an imaginary issue that’s less real than Y2K. I’ve been to Wolfville...lovely place, full of Profs/Progs.
jimmygotyme Mop head McKenna! Say it loud, say it often!
God I seriously am begging for some global warming in Canada right now. JUNE AND IN THE LOW TEENS!!!
what up with climate Barbie?
did you say it loud KellyMcParland? just like cathmckenna taught us? loud, over and over, and they will believe you see lesson plan below
What a dangerous fool. Real danger we should nuke China and India. Shut up
Crazy lady is unpacking her lunatic side...again.
This fool
Fake climate hoax
Only reminds me of sewage
'The motive for the change is obvious: if something’s an emergency, it’s easier to argue for a big disruption in how people live their lives. The issue becomes “settled,” & only ignoramuses are deemed to raise it any more. It’s a ploy long known to despots, dictators & autocrats.
I can only shake my head at the pure ignorance and incompetence of this Liberal government. They are convinced that mankind can thwart the climate 'emergency'. Apparently, naturally occurring cyclic climate, Earth's precession, volcanos/forest fires & THE SUN do not count. Duh!
This isn't a new tactic from cathmckenna, it was done years ago by another national socialist party...
It's a tax emergency !
During climax I wonder if she screams out Al Gores name? Temps rising! Rising!!! RISING!!!
It's not an exaggeration though. If we continue to ignore the problem it won't go away. Half the species on earth are dying. It is a crisis.
Climate Crisis.
ec_minister
Just got my snowblower out this weekend just in case
Lol she is a bigger joke then trump as of late
We're past that. It's Climate Climax and don't you forgot it.
she must have mortgaged her house to buy green stocks
It isn't a climate emergency and just shouting about it won't make it a climate emergency either.
As an emergency doesn't it behoove us to move as quickly as possible to zero CO2 nuclear?
To the hoaxers pushing this con job, it is an emergency. It must be terrifying to them knowing that fewer and fewer people are buying into the snake oil they've been peddling.
Excellent article
'Don't you forget it' because it's easy enough to forget when 'the end is 10 years away' for the past 50 years.
pic of lyin drunk
Emergency!?! 😂😂😂😂😂 Ok sure! It’s snowing in tropical Queensland Australia right now!
climate emergency? so we only have 12 months now? 😉
cdnpoli Trudeau comes to the aid of the print media with funds to help ensure their survival in the 21st century. The National Post tops the list of endangered newspapers. So what does it do? Bites the helping hand & calls the aid a slush fund. Rest in peace, National Post.
Emergency? What a bunch of climate pussies. If they had any guts they would have totally jumped the Climate Hysteria Shark and gone for Crisis! Did I mention it snowed today? In Ontario On June 3rd. Snowed. In Canada. In June!
No it's Climate 'Hysteria' and don't forget it.
The weeks following the 'climate emergency' talk, our PM flew to Florida on his private jet not one but twice, for a vacation. 2 weeks later he flew to Tofino, again for vacation. - If this were a real 'climate emergency' wouldn't our PM think to curb his massive CO2 expulsions?
F'n airhead
WHAT KELLY? CAN’T HEAR YOU.
And say it louder!
Here is no 'emergency' or 'crisis' There is just a natural process which humans activity has an influence on Good policy which limits our influence on that process and plans for the challenges and changes it will bring is all that is required Not fear mongering Not extortion
Damn right. End this fearmongering nonsense and let's get Canadians employed again.
