This year — 2023 — marks year two of Canada’s net\u002Dzero plan, which will remake virtually every aspect of our economy and society.

We’ve already seen the effect on average Canadians. Under the “waste” component of the 2030 emissions reduction plan, the government mandated single-use plastics out of existence for most people. The actual bans kicked in at the end of 2022, so if you’re still running on hoarded plastic ware, straws and coffee stirrers, you’ll want to make it last. And yet, an analysis of Canada’s net-zero plastics plan proves it’s a net loser.

On the housing front, the government’s 2030 emissions reduction plan calls for emissions from homes and commercial buildings to fall 42% by 2030. This is wildly unrealistic. If you’d like some numbers, C.D. Howe economists estimate “total annual retrofit costs, just to households, would run from $4.5 billion to $6.3 billion.” That’s roughly the cost of building two or three modern hospitals per year.

The Trudeau government has gotten far out over its skies in its frenzied adoption of the net-zero emissions by 2050 framework. If this plan it allowed to continue, it will cause economic and social harms that will take decades to remediate. In 2023, if something has the word “net-zero” attached to it, Canadians should say net-no-thanks.

Climate is a concern but Trudeau is making it a catastrophe.

Doing something that isn't needed. If Canada today had not emissions into the environment. It would not affect the world environment 1 tiny lil bit. Yet Trudeau wants to strong arm Canada the worst

He's probably thinking he won't be around anyway, so do what you gotta do Justin!

His massive motorcade this week in Hamilton. None of these are EV's ans many idle all day (for security purposes I understand but still.) The Virtue Signaler in Chief.

Will cause Has and continues to cause.

No surprise

Already has🤦🏽‍♂️

We seen this “net-zero” BS at work, already! Germany and Japan have asked about LNG!!! He said NO!!! I said it once and I’ll say again…Net-Zero means Canada brings nothing to the table. TrudeauMustGoNow

Look at this picture.... that ain't him

He’s cool with that tho. Blackface don’t give a fuck.

The piece of trash trudeau belongs in prison and preferrably not on Canadian soil.

Not a news organization.

Well no shit eh. Thought that was common knowledge.

Yah think?

You do know that much of the world including our major trading partner are doing the same right?

It's already started and it will only get worse.

Trudeau is turning canada into a shithole

Well when will the public get to understand that climate change and global warming will never be tackled with money. Start with population in areas that need less to slow the thaw of Perma Frost

Doing nothing will be much worse. The infrastructure costs, the increased servicing costs. The increased food costs, will make us wish did more.

They keep voting for him hoping for a different outcome..

Why is PM Trudeau desperate to destroy the Canadian economy, even Uganda is opening new oil fields, Germany has a 15 year LNG contract with Qatar, the world is looking to buy natural gas, and oil, yet our PM Trudeau is shutting down oil and gas in Canada

I would rather leave more green for the kids instead of more black roads full of roof water.

TrudeauMustGoNow

Post Media needs to change its name to Fraser Institute. No wonder they laid off 11% of their editorial staff today. When all you publish is Fraser Institute nonsense then who needs actual journalists.

Sell our oil & Natural Gas . Make Canada economically sound again!

Either he loses power and Canada regains its senses, or he doesn't and Alberta leaves Canada, and Canada dies. That's essentially where we are as a country.

TRUDEAU'S ALMOST OUT; NO WORRIES!!!!!!

gaming us. thanks to the 🤡who voted 4 him and the NDP🎮🦊
