OP-ED: Stand up for Alberta energy and against baseless “greenwashing” accusations

By
Lindsay Wilson
-

By now, most Albertans who pay even a little attention to the news as it relates to our best-in-the-world energy sector have heard about former Liberal environment minister Catherine McKenna’s baseless accusations that the energy industry is “greenwashing” and isn’t serious about improving practices to achieve low emissions. 

McKenna now possesses a title so long in her climate role with the United Nations (UN), that it well matches her pretentious comments insulting our energy industry. Like any good old Liberal eco-radical, her out-of-touch remarks reek of elitism, as she boards jet planes to talk about saving the planet. Give us a break. 

Here, at Alberta Proud, we want every Albertan to know what McKenna and her ilk think about us. In this day and age of social media, ‘here today and gone tomorrow’ may be the mantra of this modern world, but this pattern of looking down on our energy sector and doing anything to undermine it cannot be taken lightly.

We are asking Albertans to get loud and get Alberta Proud in standing up for our energy sector. Enough is enough and we have to stop tip-toeing around these eco-radical mistruths. They hurt our energy workers, our economy and our nation as a whole. 

To say we are proud of the tech innovations that are taking place in our energy sector is an understatement. We have some of the world’s lowest GHG intensity natural gas production, which helps reduce global environmental impact. We have tremendous investment into carbon capture technology and methane detection and we need to continue to attract global investors in order to move forward with decarbonization projects. 

We are also proud of our industry leaders for putting their boxing gloves on and standing up to McKenna’s absurd comments. These leaders include Lisa Baiton, the president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

If you read McKenna’s eco-radical piece, I equally encourage you to read Baiton’s response, in an op-ed printed by Troy Media on March 1, 2023: Catherine McKenna’s attack against Canada’s energy sector irresponsible and oblivious to the world’s energy challenges. 

Baiton hit back on McKenna for the negative impact of using the sensationalized term “greenwashing”: “billions of dollars in industry capital are currently invested and designated to be invested in carbon capture and other clean technologies. Dismissing this as “greenwashing” ignores real investment, cooperation between industry and governments, and pragmatic climate solutions.” 

Global demand of 101.7 million barrels of oil per day is only going to continue to climb. In order to meet global energy demands, the world needs stable and reliable oil production. It only makes sense for Canada to increase oil production, given that we adhere to some of the highest ethical and environmental standards in the world. 

Putting Canada in the driver’s seat not only protects global energy insecurity, it will lead us toward lower global emissions – as we are a leader in employing clean tech solutions to reach our low emissions goal even faster. 

Gregory Tobin of the Canada Strong and Proud Network maybe put it best in his recent True North op-ed, pleading with our global leaders to get off despot oil and onto responsibly-produced Canadian LNG: “We need a government that sees Canada and its bounty of resources as a solution to global economic turmoils … A strong, richer, more prosperous Canada will lead to a safer world – let’s make it happen for Ukraine’s sake.”

The secret is out: the energy industry cares about the environment and about winning the race to low emissions. It’s going to be done through investment in clean tech, partnerships with our Indigenous Canadians and getting our political leaders to see that the answer to improving our climate lies right here with our best-in-the-world Canadian energy, our Alberta energy.

Lindsay Wilson is the President of Alberta Proud.

BONOKOSKI: As other countries lower taxes, Trudeau raises them on April 1

By
Mark Bonokoski
-

April Fool’s Day is the day our federal politicians play us for fools — grabbing more of our money and padding their own pockets at the same time.

It happens every year on April 1st.

It’s ingrained in the system; presumably so beat-up taxpayers don’t know they’re taking another hit while inflation is crippling them and food prices have the CEOs of the major grocery chains appearing before a House of Commons committee to explain themselves and their record profits.

It’s sneaky but it works. 

There will be no headline, for example, telling the public that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be getting an extra $10,200 on April 1, based on contract data published by the government of Canada. It will just happen.

This, however, will make it the fourth pay raise since the outset of the pandemic, with backbench MPs pocketing an extra $5,100.

A backbencher currently collects a $189,500 salary. Ministers take home $279,900. Trudeau gets $379,000 from taxpayers.

“Do they really think they should take thousands more from their constituents, many of whom are struggling to fill the fridge?” asks Franco Terrazzano,  federal director of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation.

Terrazzano is often the bearer of bad news. It’s his job.

On April 1, the federal carbon tax will be jacked up to 14¢ per litre of gas and 12¢ per cubic metre of natural gas. 

The Trudeau government claims “families are going to be better off” with its carbon tax and rebates. The government expects us to believe it can raise taxes, skim some off the top to pay for hundreds of new bureaucrats and still make us better off.

As Terrazzano put it, the Parliamentary Budget Officer — one of our watchdogs — has warned against believing such spin. 

“The carbon tax will cost the average family between $402 and $847 this year, even after the rebates,” wrote Terrazzano. “ And this will be the fourth time Trudeau has increased his carbon tax since COVID-19 touched down.” 

While Ottawa sticks Canadians with higher bills, other countries have provided relief. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation identified 51 national governments that cut taxes during the pandemic and as inflation took off.

That includes more than half of G7 and G20 countries and two-thirds of the countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Many of our peers were also offering relief at the pumps. 

Australia cut its gas tax in half. India cut its gas tax to “keep inflation low, thus helping the poor and middle classes.”

The United Kingdom announced billions in full tax relief. South Korea cut its gas tax by 30%. Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Israel, Peru, Poland and 25 Indian states also cut their fuel tax.

But not Canada.

“You could be forgiven if all this drives you to drink,” wrote Terrazzano. “But Trudeau will also be reaching further into your wallet every time you pick up a case of Keith’s, a bottle of Pinot or a mickey of rum. 

”Canadians already pay about half of the price of beer, 65% of the price of wine and three quarters of the price of spirits in taxes. And in April, the federal excise tax will be going up by another 6.3%.”

Trebles all around, bartender.

First passed in the 2017 budget, the federal escalator tax automatically increases excise taxes on alcohol with the rate of inflation each April 1. 

After April’s hike, the federal government’s alcohol excise taxes will have increased by about 18% since the automatic annual increase was introduced.

“This undemocratic tax hike allows MPs to take more money from your wallet every year without having to vote on the increase,” said Terrazzano. 

There oughta be a law.

Conservative Black Congress chair slams Liberals’ labelling of opponents as racists

By
Elie Cantin-Nantel
-

Conservative Black Congress of Canada chair Tunde Obasan says the Liberals’ constant labelling of their opponents as “racists” is offensive and undermines the lived experiences of Canadians of colour.

Liberal politicians and operatives, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have called several of their opponents racist – including members of the Conservative Party, protestors and Canadians who chose not to get vaccinated. 

Trudeau has also accused Jewish Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman and her colleagues of standing “with people who wave swastikas” and “people who wave the Confederate flag” after she criticized his response to the Freedom Convoy protests.

In an interview with True North, Obasan said that “black Canadians, at different points in time, experienced some level of racism.” He added that this includes him and his family, who have experienced racism since moving to Canada from Nigeria. 

“Racism is not something that you can attach to a particular organization. It’s a global issue. When you start using Racism (as a tool) to just gain votes, that is very, very undermining.” 

Obasan believes some Liberal politicians “want to use (Racism) as a weapon to win the black community’s votes,” something he finds to be “very offensive.” 

Obasan also finds Liberals’ racism accusations to be somewhat hypocritical amid the experience of former Whitby Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes and Trudeau’s numerous blackface incidents.

Caesar-Chavannes previously told VICE World News she quit the Liberal caucus and opted not to seek re-election in 2019 after feeling tokenized, excluded, and undervalued as a black woman.

The former Liberal MP ended up voting for the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2021 election, telling Global News “we keep continuing to reward bad behaviour from a Prime Minister that won the 2019 election, had a majority and a minority government for six years (and) continues to say ‘there is more to do'”

“I’m very much a Liberal at heart, but I would say that in this particular instance, in 2021, I don’t mind voting for my local representative, Maleeha Shahid, who is a Conservative.” 

Haldimand—Norfolk Conservative MP and former two time leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis also recently called out Trudeau’s hypocrisy after he criticized a controversial meeting she and two other MPs had with German European Parliament Member Christine Anderson last month. Anderson has been accused of racism and extremism by several Canadian political figures.

“I was deeply, deeply hurt as a black Canadian watching the person holding the highest office in the land dress up as a black slave, dancing around, stepping and fetching and mocking black people, my ancestors, putting a banana in his pants and denigrating and objectifying black men,” said Lewis in an interview with the Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington. “I want an apology (from Trudeau) for wearing blackface.”

 “All he does is try to divide, demonize and try to destroy women’s careers, primarily minority women, and now he’s attempting to do the same thing to me and I am starting to believe (there was) a reason he wore blackface.”

“I want (Trudeau) to resign over blackface because I cannot stomach anymore to sit across from him and see this man,” she added.

The Conservative Black Congress of Canada was re-launched by Obasan and other black conservatives in 2021 in hopes to grow the conservative movement in Canada’s black community.

BONOKOSKI: Strengthening the bail system must remain a priority

By
Mark Bonokoski
-

Justice Minister David Lametti met his provincial and territorial counterparts last week in hopes of strengthening the bail system so that repeat and violent offenders remain behind bars.

The subject is no longer on the front burner of the news cycle, at least not like it was in the heated days which followed the murder of  28-year-old OPP Const. Grzegorz (Greg) Pierzchala on Dec. 27.

But it remains direly important.

Lametti committed that the federal government will move forward quickly on “targeted reforms” to the Criminal Code that would update Canada’s bail system. 

“We have a broad consensus on a path forward,” Lametti promised, saying reforms will aim to address the challenges posed by repeat violent offenders and those facing firearms or other weapons charges. 

“Bail is a constitutional right, but it is not absolute,” he said. 

“Our laws are clear that bail can be denied where there is just cause, when it is necessary for the safety of the public or to maintain the public’s confidence in the administration of justice.” 

The commitment follows calls for bail reform from provincial and territorial justice ministers last fall and Canada’s premiers earlier this year, and includes a pledge to introduce legislative changes as early as this session of Parliament.

The changes would implement a reverse onus for repeat violent offenders who are seeking bail, as well as changes as it relates to serious offences committed with firearms. The reverse onus would apply to repeat offenders committing crimes using knives and bear spray.

Additionally, the changes would require judges to consider the safety of the community as a whole and include that statement in a decision on bail. 

Calls for reform heightened in response to the death of Pierzchala in late December, which Lametti referred to Friday as a “catalyst for change.”

Court documents show one of the two people facing first-degree murder charges in his death, Randall McKenzie, was initially denied bail in a separate case involving assault and weapons charges but was released after a review. 

A press release said the ministers “agreed that the bail system functions appropriately in many but not all cases.” 

It said other changes could be made at the federal or provincial level, including improving data collection and training and funding programming to combat gender-based violence. 

Pierzchala, a former constable at the Queen’s Park provincial legislature and member of the Armed Forces, was killed on his first day working solo in what police have called an “ambush” attack after he responded to a call for a vehicle in a ditch west of Hagersville, Ont. on Dec. 27.

This was a test for Lametti, although he already said Canada’s bail system was “strong and sound.”

Criminal justice experts, however, are cautioning MPs that toughening Canada’s bail laws may have unintended, negative consequences, and that recent characterizations of the country’s bail system as lenient are not accurate.

Advocates recommending a “reverse onus” bail system believe the accused seeking bail should show why he or she should not be kept behind bars, as opposed to the Crown making its case.

“Do we need to add a bit more stickiness, if you will, to make it more difficult in certain cases for people to get bail?” Lametti said in an interview after appearing recently before the House of Commons justice committee.

According to OPP officers I have talked to — both active and retired — a way to add “stickiness” is to beef up the surety system in which a friend or relative puts up the promise of money,

Not one police officer, however, can ever recall a surety being collected by the court for a breach of an accused’s bail.

This, they say, makes the surety system a joke.

As I have written here previously, the surety system is a subject Lametti and his provincial soulmates will have to seriously address or else there will be an aspect of bail reform which is sorely being missed.

Lametti said the Trudeau government is committed to ensuring public safety, and at the same time, change to the bail system must not further exacerbate the overrepresentation of Indigenous and Black people within Canadian jails.

“There are no easy solutions to such a complex matter,”  Lametti said. “We must not further marginalize vulnerable people, including those struggling with mental-health issues and addiction.

“It’s a delicate balance.”

Death in the family: why a father says MAID expansions are ‘losing something’ for Canadians

If you told Mike Schouten assisted dying was an option for his son Markus, he would have been devastated.

“Our family would’ve heard: okay, you’re giving up on him now. You’re giving up.”

Mike’s son, Markus, was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer at age 18. 

“Markus asked the doctor… ‘how much time do I have?’ 

“The doctor said, ‘we don’t know how much time you have, but all of our focus and attention is going to be ensuring that whatever time you do have is lived well.’”

Doctors recommended quality-of-life care, otherwise known as palliative treatment, and Markus switched over.

After a year trying to find a cure, the family began a new challenge – trying to find peace with the end, which was beyond their control.

At this stage, a single sentence could have toppled the family, Mike said to True North.

“If at any point during that treatment, the suggestion was made, or the option was there for medical assistance in dying, […] that would have been just devastating.”

Telling his story to Canada’s MAID committee

After Markus passed away, Mike appeared in front of Canada’s assisted dying committee. 

The committee, The Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD), was deliberating about whether to include some children inside Canada’s euthanasia law.

The committee’s final report recommended some terminal children under the age of 18 should have access to self requested euthanasia – a decision Mike said is dangerous, and senseless.

“It just blows your mind how reckless this is,” he said. “Minors are not allowed to drive vehicles, they’re not allowed to drink alcohol. […] And now we have a government saying you can actually […] just end your life on your own, without your parents?”

This option would weigh heavily on families with terminal children, he said, and weaken an important facet of life: caring for our loved ones, seeing them to their end, and being seen to our end.

Many perspectives of dying

While Mike struggles to see how an assisted death option (MAID) would benefit families, some say the option can be important.

“I’ve also heard the other side of it,” said advocate James Cowan. “Another person has said ‘Look, I watched my son suffer. There was nothing we could do for him and I wish this alternative had been available.’”

In an interview with True North, Cowan – who is a board member at Dying with Dignity Canada – agreed with Mike: a MAID option would introduce an unimaginable decision for families to make during trying times. With that in mind, he said, applicable Canadians who decide it’s their best option should have the right.

While that’s an important right, he said, everybody should also have access to quality palliative care.

A suicidology expert says the same.

Dr. Brian Mishara, who founded the Canadian suicide and intervention centre “CRISE,” told True North many people may ignore MAID options if their family is provided with quality palliative care. 

“Very often, we find one of the reasons given is to spare family members from going through anguish,” he said. 

“In a good palliative care setting, the family will get support and the person who is terminally ill will get support… so that these sorts of thoughts and decisions will be made in a more realistic context.”

Even with end-of-life times being what they are, Mishara said, families often transcend the suffering.

“In many instances, this is a very meaningful and rich time in the person’s life,” he said. “Though the person who is dying may feel ‘oh, I’m a burden to them,’ that’s not necessarily how [families] feel.”

The Schouten family may be one example.

“As hard as it was for us to go through,” Mike said, “it was a beautiful experience.

“We experienced how we can, as human beings, care for each other in a way that even through suffering there is meaning, and every day can be a good day.

“Because as human beings we’re created to have compassion, and care, and walk alongside each other in suffering.”

Markus Schouten passed away on May 29, 2022, after living out a terminal diagnosis of metastasized Ewing sarcoma.

Calgary, Edmonton among best places to live for students

By
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa
-

Calgary and Edmonton have surpassed Toronto when it comes to the top ten living destinations for students. 

This is according to the personal and finance service provider HelloSafe, which published it’s Best Cities For Students In Canada: The Definitive 2023 Ranking this week. 

Cities were ranked based on 18 criteria including academic excellence, student life, quality of life and attractiveness, according to the company. 

Calgary and Edmonton took fifth and sixth place respectively, beating out Quebec City, St. John’s, Hamilton and Toronto. 

In first place was Kingston, Ontario which is the home of Queen’s University Canada. HelloSafe awarded the top spot to Kingston due to the “excellence of its university,” diversity and temperate climate. 

“If the city does not particularly shine in one or another category, it presents an overall balance that allows it to rank well everywhere, whether in terms of academic excellence, student life, living environment or attractiveness,” said HelloSafe editor-in-chief Alexandre Desoutter. 

“We can also underline the good places of Montreal, Sherbrooke and Quebec City, which show that the Belle Province is more than ever a privileged destination for Canadian and international students.”

Kingston was followed by Montreal and Vancouver which scored in second and third. Both Vancouver and Kingston saw increases in their ranking when compared to 2021. 

While ranking, HelloSafe in part used Maclean’s university ranking list, citing it as a “very important criterion.” 

“The tuition fees charged and the diversity of the academic offer proposed by the cities are also taken into account,” wrote Hello Safe.

OP-ED: Trudeau government’s hostility toward private health care out of step with most Canadians

By
Bacchus Barua
-

This week, as the Trudeau government chastised provinces that allow patients to use their own money to purchase health care from private providers, a new survey by the Angus Reid Institute finds that 43% of Canadians believe patients should be able to do exactly that.

In fact, in every province except Ontario, a plurality of Canadians support the ability of patients to personally pay a private clinic out-of-pocket for faster access to some surgeries and diagnostic tests. Clearly, Canadians view of how our health-care system should function differs from the Trudeau government’s outdated opinion.

More generally, the survey found that a significant portion of Canadians now either support—or, at the very least, are cautiously interested in—more private-sector involvement in health care. Almost one-third of Canadians are outright “Private Care Proponents” while a further one-third are “Curious but hesitant” about the extent of reforms. 

Together, these groups represent 61% of survey respondents compared to 39% who staunchly defend the purely public status quo, which is clearly failing patients and taxpayers.

That the majority of Canadians now see some role for the private sector suggests a clear acknowledgement of the fundamental problems with our current approach, which is unsurprising given that Angus Reid also reports that 69% of respondents rate the current state of health care as “poor” or “very poor, in crisis.”

This perception is understandable. The media is awash with stories of burned out health-care staff, overcrowded hospitals and long wait times. But these stories are also backed by data. 

For example, in 2022 Canadians could expect a median wait of 27.4 weeks between referral to a specialist by a general practitioner and receipt of treatment. While some try to blame these waits on the pandemic and associated surgical postponements, Canadians were already waiting 20.9 weeks in 2019, long before COVID. Clearly, our health-care system suffers from structural problems that predate the pandemic.

Fortunately, we can find solutions in other universal systems that have shorter wait times for specialist consultations and elective treatments—and, it turns out, many Canadian support these policy reforms. 

According to the Angus Reid survey, a plurality of Canadians (46%) support Australia’s use of private insurance for non-covered services and faster access in private hospitals, while a majority (60%) support “dual practice” for doctors in the public and private system. And 52% of Canadians support the United Kingdom’s private parallel system where patients can pay for non-covered services or procedures with long waits in the public system.

Finally, a whopping 78% support allowing more surgeries and tests performed in private clinics while 40% only support this policy to clear the surgical backlog.

But Canadians need not look overseas for evidence on how publicly-funded surgeries in private clinics can reduce wait times. British Columbia used private clinics to reduce its surgical backlog while Alberta and Ontario are now embracing these partnerships, perhaps for the long term. 

And, perhaps most tellingly, the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative, which included private-public partnerships, helped reduce that province’s wait between referral from a GP and receipt of care from 26.5 weeks in 2010 (the longest wait outside Atlantic Canada) to the second-shortest in the country at 14.2 weeks in 2014. During this initiative, the cost for surgeries in the private clinics was 26% lower (on average) than in the public sector.

Of course, concerns remain. More than two-thirds of Canadians believe that lower-income Canadians will suffer if health-care privatization increases, and that it would worsen staffing shortages. 

This is why design matters. While more successful universal health-care systems around the world embrace the private sector as a partner, they also expect patients to share the cost of treatment while providing generous safety nets for vulnerable populations.

While it’s encouraging to see more Canadians support common sense health-care reform based on the experiences of other universal health-care systems, it’s unfortunate that the debate is still being framed in terms of the supposed “privatization” of the “public” system. 

Other universal health-care systems have long figured out that it’s not a question of public or private, but rather public and private coming together to best serve the needs of patients.

Record number of middle-aged women working as Canadians grapple with economic pressure

By
Connor McDowell
-

As grocery prices set records and as Canadians report less than two months of savings, women between the ages of 55 and 64 are entering the workforce at record levels.

Statistics Canada released its Labour Force Survey on Friday, showing six-in-ten Canadian women aged 55 to 64 were employed in February – breaking a Canadian record, which was broken the month before.

“This was up 1.2 percentage points from the preceding high reached in January (59.6%),” Statistics Canada wrote.

A net of 30,000 of these women joined the workforce, accounting for nearly all the increase of employment in the age bracket.

The total of working men in the bracket was relatively unchanged – hovering just under January’s 70.5% level, which marked the highest since 1981.

As Canadians continue to struggle to make ends meet, the Trudeau government is expected to table the 2023 federal budget on March 28th, which will outline the government’s plan to weather the economic crisis.

Senator says Bill C-11 will create “public relations nightmare” for Liberals

By
Cosmin Dzsurdzsa
-

A senator behind amendments to Bill C-11, which aimed to protect user-generated content, says if the internet censorship law passes, it would lead to a “public relations nightmare” for the federal government. 

Senators Paula Simons and Julie Miville-Dechêne introduced an amendment in December which would in effect exempt ordinary users from the regulatory scope of the law. Earlier this week, the Liberal government rejected those amendments.

“We still think it offered the government an elegant escape from what is going to be, I think, a public relations nightmare and a policy blunder,” Simons told the Toronto Star.  

Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez claimed that the amendments would “affect the Governor in Council’s ability to publicly consult on, and issue, a policy direction to the (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) to appropriately scope the regulation of social media services with respect to their distribution of commercial programs, as well as prevent the broadcasting system from adapting to technological changes over time.”

Rordiguez also accused the proposed amendments of making “loopholes.” 

“I certainly fought for this amendment, in a way frankly, that I never have before as a senator,” said Simons. 

“We’re still trying to figure out what we do next, because I don’t think either of us is really prepared to just shrug and say, ‘Oh, well, we did our best.’”

Bill C-11 critic and University of Ottawa Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law Michael Geist said earlier this week that Ottawa’s decision to not accept the amendments betrayed their true intent with the law. 

“In doing so, [Heritage Minister Pabloe Rodriguez] has left no doubt about the government’s true intent with Bill C-11: retain power and flexibility to regulate user content,” wrote Geist.

“On its way to rejecting the concerns of thousands of Canadian creators and dismissing the fears of authors such as Margaret Atwood and Senator David Adams Richards, its real mantra is platforms are in and user content regulation is in.”
