—- Its the only way I can see for Trudeau to both meet its emissions targets without spending any money on infrastructure, and also control inflation from spiking gasoline demand without new supply.
2 birds with one stone.
Get ready for a new universe of restrictions.
Will you protest?
What offensive label will the government then smear you with for doing so?
Will you be ok with it then?

Might be time to step back from the television and get a little fresh air. Or eat a Snickers...

Not making this up.

That message came clearly this week when 220 medical journals around the world — including the Canadian Medical Association Journal — published the same “editorial” under the headline: “Call for emergency action to limit global temperature increases, restore biodiversity, and protect health.”
The action plan, according to the world’s medical establishment, is a global application of the COVID-19 model: “Many governments met the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented funding. The environmental crisis demands a similar emergency response. Huge investment will be needed, beyond what is being considered or delivered anywhere in the world. But such investments will produce huge positive health and economic outcomes. These include high-quality jobs, reduced air pollution, increased physical activity, and improved housing and diet. Better air quality alone would realize health benefits that easily offset the global costs of emissions reductions.”
Say the doctors: “Governments must intervene to support the redesign of transport systems, cities, production and distribution of food, markets for financial investments, health systems, and much more. Global co-ordination is needed to ensure that the rush for cleaner technologies does not come at the cost of more environmental destruction and human exploitation.”
The policy creep from COVID to climate hit the pages of Nature Sustainability journal last month in an article promoting Personal Carbon Allowances. It says, “the policy window of opportunity provided by the COVID-19 crisis, in combination with the need to address worsening climate and biodiversity crises,” make it possible for individuals to be allocated personal carbon allowances. In short, the COVID vaccine passports could be succeeded by Personal Carbon Passports.
More recently, the COVID/climate connection was cited by economist Mark Jaccard in a Policy Options commentary assessing the merits of the “sincerity” of carbon-control election platforms of Canada’s political parties. Jaccard said he used a computer economic model called gTech from Navius Research to conclude that the Liberals had the best plan to curb the output of greenhouses gas (GHG) emissions.

Neither Covid, nor aviation.
Say, what's that mountain goat doing up here in the mist?
