Professor Jack M. Mintz Lays Out Trudeau Liberal Aim To Destroy Canadian Economy

According to Jack Mintz, who is  the president’s fellow at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy, "Only one country is contemplating destroying its own resource sector - Canada".  That is an extremely heavy charge to level at the Trudeau government.

The Trudeau government is about to pass two government Bills, C-48 and C-69, both designed to strangle development of Canada's most important resource export, petroleum and seriously damage both the Canadian economy and destroy the economies of Saskatchewan and Alberta.  One is intended to stop or discourage petroleum exploration, extraction and development and pipeline development in the entire country and the other to stop tanker traffic on the West Coast which would take the petroleum to market.

It is clear that the government and the Prime Minister Trudeau lie when they say they want to “develop our resources responsibly.” 

Canada’s oil and gas sector will lose over 12,000 jobs this year, a PetroLMI report predicts.

According to Professor Mintz, "numerous politicians have expressed their desire to stop resource development altogether. Their plan is for no more oilsands projects. No more pipelines. No more natural gas fracking. And no more coal. Some politicians are even going so far as considering putting an end to mining. In other words, no more responsible resource development. No resource development at all."

Meanwhile, Norway, the US, and other oil producers have been happily exporting oil to any who want it.  The customers are lining up for more and more oil to fuel their economies.

As Professor Mintz explains, "In a recent Manhattan Institute paper, physicist and energy expert Mark Mills offered a sobering wakeup call to those with unrealistic expectations that wind, solar and hydro renewables can fully replace the demand for fossil fuel energy in the next several decades. Physical limitations, he argues, simply make it impossible."

Yet Trudeau is set on returning Canada to horse and buggy days.  The buggy delusion is in his mind, not the minds of alarmed Canadians.

For those people who care about Canada and its future, the article deserves to be read and considered.

Trudeau's carbon tax scheme is all political flim-flam (deceit, lies).  It is just one plank of a bridge-to-nowhere erected by the Liberals as part of their overall scheme to destroy our resource economy.

Currently litigation is in process to challenge the Liberals draconian no development laws. Yet no province has sought to challenge, the "national interest", "climate emergency", and other false arguments made by the Liberals in support of using the "peace, order and good government" (POAGG) clause in the constitution. 

This would mean the challengers presenting evidence that the underlying Liberal premise that human-generated carbon dioxide is a significant cause of whatever global warming is happening is WRONG, and force the Liberals to respond with actual evidence to the contrary, or back off. 

Without that basic premise being demonstrated as fact, not dogmatic faith, there is no emergency and no excuse for the use of the undemocratic "POAGG clause. 

If the courts disregard this, then they will be acting politically to side with the Liberals, which may be a likely thing, given their past behaviours. 

At any rate, it would be useful to know for certain that the Supreme Court of Canada is, or is not, a political arm of the Liberal Party. 

The obvious fact that the alleged cure (Carbon Taxation) forced on Canadians by the Liberals, is so politically motivated, unfairly and diversely applied, that their policy is not true "peace, order and good government" at all, but simply "bad" government. 

The whole picture must be examined, not just the government's mere unfounded assertions.
