It is clearly a significant piece of legislation, and it does talk about changes to both the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act and income tax. There are also provisions to allow the government to force property owners to answer questions in writing and various other items - and provisions on many other subjects.
I have not read this closely. That said - I do NOT see references in this bill to the amounts described in this article of $140 billion per year. Could I request the author reference those portions of the bill which tie to the amounts in question for the benefit of readers?
I did not reference the $140 billion reference in the bill itself; of course, because a bill is a bill and it is subject to amendments prior to hearings/debate.
Moreover, I took my information directly (and verbatim) from Canada's own Budget 2022 website (https://www.budget.canada.ca/2022/report-rapport/chap2-en.html) where it is clearly stated the following: "On the fight against climate change alone—to build a net-zero economy by 2050—Canada will need between $125 billion and $140 billion of investment every year over that period. Today, annual investment in the climate transition is between $15 billion and $25 billion. No one government can close that gap."
The key phrase here is, "will need" to. In other words, this is not confirmed yet. But, it can most easily be deduced that it is their intention to somehow integrate this as a provision either in this particular Bill (C-32), or perhaps another one.
Parties from all sides of the aisle have a pretty good track record of shifting around or squeezing in these kinds of items into different bills (and sometimes with last-minute amendments like we just recently saw with the banning firearms bill) in the hopes that they get approved. This is often done in a stealthy, "sneaky" and dishonest fashion, sadly.
Part of my job as a journalist is to follow these moves like a hawk. I would also argue that doing it should be the civic duty of all Canadians too, but I won't hold my breath on it.

Thanks for the reply. I am also aware that one item on the agenda there was for Western nations to subsidize other nation's climate schemes. Quite large sums were discussed there as well.
I fully expect some level of deception on this issue by the Trudeau government. That said - to play devil's advocate, the statement above stated no one government can close the gap. Perhaps they expect other governments to contribute - or most likely other levels of government will be forced to contribute - large amounts of funds?
Calgary has approved a $180 billion climate change plan. Ottawa's previous council quietly approved a $60 billion climate change plan despite scandalously mismanaging a $2 billion train plan. The new council seems more skeptical but I don't believe the plan has been revoked yet.
There are also various global city related climate change initiatives in place. Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are all on the list of c40 climate leadership group, and the mayor of Toronto has spoken openly about plans to restrict Toronto citizens right to eat meat as part of that group's larger goals:
I'm also aware there are quite a few efforts to do social engineering through working with city groups at every level. I worked for a time with an employer focusing on long term plans to implement guidance for autonomous vehicles; their initial goal was ridesharing but their long term goal was quite a bit more ambitious and likely amounts to the long term removal of private transport altogether.
In any case - here is a paper discussing some of the social engineering approaches through community and city-related groups.
I should add that those municipal governments I was involved with in past employment were smaller, so similar approaches are being taken regardless of city size.
Thank you for your information-rich, very astute comments. The numbers invested you mentioned are indeed staggering! Us taxpayers (incl. co's & customers) foot the bill for all of this swindle. You are also right about this being done at the municipal level. A newswire from just a few days ago about Montreal (Carboneutralité des bâtiments : la feuille de route de la Ville est un outil essentiel qui doit s'inscrire dans un cadre clair et prévisible, https://prnmedia.prnewswire.com/news-releases/carboneutralite-des-batiments-la-feuille-de-route-de-la-ville-est-un-outil-essentiel-qui-doit-s-inscrire-dans-un-cadre-clair-et-previsible-838559653.html) stated that they are aiming for "Bâtiments zéro émission" (rental & other properties) to align with the Net Zero folly/scam. Can you imagine the property & rental tax increases that will further impoverish the masses in the coming years? Yet another reason NOT to live in a big city. People need to start waking up NOW, otherwise they will indeed own nothing, eat zee bugs, and "be happy". Thanks again for your kind sharing and feel free to let me know your thoughts on any of these issues either here or by email. Merry Christmas my friend!
I am no Bible-thumper kind of guy, nor even institutionally religious, but I can't help but think of this passage:
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Peter 2:3
Make no mistake folks, this is about controlled demolition and wealth transfer, swaddled in a narrative of "Greater Good". God save the blinded and credulous normies.
Welcome to the planetary crime scene. It has been ongoing for some time now.
Actually, I wouldn't rule ANYTHING out at this point.
On a more serious matter...in your neck of 'Estrie', what % of the population would you sense is even remotely conscious of what is going on? Out here, it is a veritable wasteland. Most common folk I tend to hob-nob with or that are in my social orbit don't read long-form expository essays on substack and the like, don't do much reading or questioning or inquiring whatsoever, in fact.
Frankly, without common awareness in our communities (which have been fractured along fault lines and fragmented into a gazillion worldviews) and not just in cyberspace, we are good and fructosed. It's pretty tragic when you take stock of the scale of it all.
Hard to properly assess for my neck of the woods en Estrie since I have only been back for a year now (after a 13 year stay in China); but, if I were to guesstimate, I'd say probably less than 5-10% seem to be aware of *some* of the real nefariousness going on. I think too many are taking their spoon-fed news from msm as gospel and have difficulty entertaining counter-views.
Thanks for your response. I'll bet you have some unique insights into China that would dispel a lot of the misunderstandings that we clueless westerners have!
The reason I asked the question is because I am gobsmacked at how few people have any inkling whatsoever that something is even awry, especially given the infinite number of alarm bells that have rung loudly throughout this protracted debacle as well as the innumerable 'anomalies' (euphemism!) we have experienced in the last few years.
But even among those I do know that are somewhat aware, their awareness seems shallow and sensational and intellectually lazy, not deeply situated in an expansive or historical context.
I continue to try to wake people up, based on what I think and hope remains of our common humanity and common values, but most have simply gone limp. People seem utterly dissociated, resigned, neutralized.
For instance, your article on this substack about MAID should elicit a deep shock among people, but it seems they don't even have the mental fortitude to read such a piece.
To say that we are in an unprecedented battle for hearts and minds would be an understatement at this point. The fate of all we claim to cherish and the prospect for a livable future hangs in the balance, but the citizenry appears to have gone dumb and mute.
The 5GW and planet-scale PsyOp seems to have done its job - a universal existential vertigo has resulted from the relentless cognitive cluster bombing of the citizenry.
Yeah, just look at what is happening in the UK with soaring energy prices and climate lockdowns. These are the testing fields as was Sri Lanka and is the Netherlands and New Zealand. God help us!
See, they are doing almost the SAME THING in the European Union (backbreaking Carbon Tax):
- Peter Halligan: The EU Commission has passed a resolution for ratification by its 27 member countries that will impose a 3-5% carbon tax on every individual starting in 2027 - intentionally provoking civil unrest, https://peterhalligan.substack.com/p/the-eu-commission-has-passed-a-resolution
- Paul Joseph Watson: This is scary, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqeichY7ymk
Here is bill c-32:

Yep, and don't forget the 'mark of the beast' (mRNA / Digital IDs / CBDCs).
Mark of the beast? What the...?

These fools just mortgaged our future.
None of this will translate into green anything other than red faces.
Canadians need to wake up and understand they're being sold down the river. Next election the Liberals need to be booted out.
Yeah, just look at what is happening in the UK with soaring energy prices and climate lockdowns. These are the testing fields as was Sri Lanka and is the Netherlands and New Zealand. God help us!
