Trudeau Liberals attacking free speech on climate change
While Liberal MPs desperate to get re-elected next year are busy knifing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the back, the Trudeau government has just passed a draconian new law against free speech aimed primarily at Canada’s oil and gas sector.
Buried in two paragraphs of the more than 500 pages of Bill C-59, omnibus legislation implementing budgetary measures previously announced by the government, are vague new rules under the Competition Act, ostensibly intended to combat “greenwashing” – when individuals or businesses makes false claims about the environmental benefits of their products or policies.
This includes efforts to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions under the Trudeau government’s climate change plan to achieve “net zero” emissions in 2050.
The legislation classifies false claims as deceptive marketing practices and expands the power of the federal government through its competition bureau to impose fines of up to $750,000 on individuals and $10 million on businesses (or 3% of annual gross revenues) for a first offence, and up to $1 million for individuals and $15 million for businesses for subsequent offences.
It also provides for criminal prosecution if the claims are found to have been made knowingly or recklessly.
Jack’s Note: Not to worry. There’s something in our law called REPEAL and Poilievres first project should be to repeal everything these border line idiots have ever done over the last nine years. Everything wherever possible! Make it like the past nine years never happened and disappear this highly immoral party forever. They have richly earned it.
