Canadians: Tell your lawmakers to defend SK’s right to stop collecting carbon tax
OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Government polling reveals that most Canadians are not alarmed over “climate change” and will continue to eat meat.
According to in-house Privy Council research obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, over one-third of Canadians think “climate change” could benefit Canada while almost half believe that “adapting to the impacts of climate change is cheaper than preventing it.”
“The purpose of this study is to provide the Privy Council, Department of Environment and Department of Natural Resources with high quality data and information on Canadians’ beliefs, attitudes and behaviour relating to climate change,” the report said. “This includes support for existing and proposed climate policy and programs.”
The research, which questioned 13,700 Canadians, discovered that climate change is not at the forefront of Canadians’ minds, with many pointing out that prediction models are not accurate, and Canada could actually benefit from climate change.
The poll found that 35 percent of Canadians felt that “the impacts of climate change in Canada will be overwhelmingly positive because it is a cold country.”
Similarly, nearly half of those polled believe that “adapting to the impacts of climate change is cheaper than preventing it.”
At the same time, 24 percent believed that most climate models are not accurate in their predictions.
According to the poll, 27 percent revealed that they have “never” discussed “climate change or its impacts,” with family or friends. Twenty-three percent reported that they discussed it “once in the last two months.”
“In the last two months how frequently or infrequently have you done the following things: Did not eat meat for an entire day,” the survey asked to which 30 percent said “never,” while another 12 percent reported going meatless once in the past two months.
Similarly, the poll showed Canadians are very much attached to their current diet and are not interested in changing it in the name of “climate change.”
“How frequently or infrequently have you made efforts to eat a more plant-based diet?” the survey questioned, to which 30% said “never,” 25 percent said “occasionally,” and 19 percent said “rarely.”
In Canada, the dubious”climate change” narrative has been routinely used by the Trudeau government to levy taxes against citizens.
Since taking office in 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has continued to push a radical environmental agenda like the agendas being pushed by the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” and the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals.”
When it comes to so-called man-caused “climate change,” which leftists have been preaching about for years, a June 2017 peer-reviewed study by two scientists and a veteran statistician found that most of the recent global warming data have been “fabricated by climate scientists to make it look more frightening.”
Meanwhile, Western Canadians involved in oil, gas and manufacturing are routinely attacked by the federal government. However, two court rulings have dealt a blow to Trudeau’s environmental laws, after provinces Alberta and Saskatchewan took on the federal government over laws impacting important industries.
The most recent was when the Federal Court of Canada last November overturned the Trudeau government’s ban on single-use plastic, calling it “unreasonable and unconstitutional.”
The second ruling comes after Canada’s Supreme Court sided in favor of provincial autonomy when it comes to natural resources. The Supreme Court ruled that Trudeau’s law, C-69, dubbed the “no-more pipelines” bill, is “mostly unconstitutional.” This was a huge win for Alberta and Saskatchewan, which challenged the law in court. The decision returned authority over resource pipelines to provincial governments, meaning oil and gas projects headed up by the provinces should be allowed to proceed without federal intrusion.
The Trudeau government, however, seems insistent on defying the rulings by pushing forward with its various regulations.
