The Sierra Club has posted an article claiming that people must stand up to the 'bullies' of the freedom convoy that is presently parked in downtown Ottawa. This is rather hypocritical of the Sierra Club, since they have a long track record of bullying energy projects, investors, banks, and even Friends of Science Society. In 2014, they objected to our billboard, so they published the names and emails of senior executives with our media provider, and incited their members and followers to harass them. People have expressed concerns about the convoy damaging our economy, and about foreign funding. When we examine the facts of the Tar Sands Campaign, Canada has lots billions...hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, and the Tar Sands Campaign groups were foreign-funded for hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the forensic audit by Deloitte for the Allan Inquiry. We have a short summary of those details on our blog. We hope the world can return to the days of open, civil debate on contentious matters - and we certainly hope we are not going to descend into an 'eco-dictatorship' has pushed for by Deutsche Bank. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4xLtoF3VHA

...while ignoring pandemic and global oil price shock. The World Economic Forum globalists profess to know how to run the world. They've put out a video telling you how to have a greener Christmas, starting with your Christmas Tree. Where once people said don't cut down trees, now WEF advocates for a live tree over a plastic one for a 'lower carbon footprint'. But will your little tree make a bit difference - or is it more that tree planting is associated with the buying and selling of carbon credits? And since the video mentions the "1 Trillion Tree" organization, a WEF tree planting project, it sounds more like a commercial for their other projects. Odd that they are busy with your Christmas Tree when they have nothing to say about the pandemic or the global oil price shock and energy crisis. In 2006, the WEF reported in their global risks report that pandemic or an oil price shock could crater the world economy. By 2020, both of these were off the list of global risks, replaced with nothing but climate change! What's up with that? No matter what they say - YOU should have a Merry Christmas anyway you want. And...a Happy New Year! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woIGys1lsW4

On Aug. 2, 2023, the government of Alberta announced it would be putting a six month moratorium on approvals of all large renewable developments, citing the concerns of rural Albertans who questioned potential damage to agricultural land and concerns about decommissioning and disposal of wind and solar devices at the end of their ~20 year lifespan. The climate activist community reacted with predictable outrage, many invoking the current wildfire season as evidence of a 'climate emergency' - others claiming that billions of dollars of investment would be lost, and others claiming wind and solar are affordable and thus we need more of them as power prices rise. In this explainer, Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science takes a look at a far more serious issue - blackouts. In the fall of 2022, Alberta had seven 'Grid Level 3" emergency alerts. This means blackouts are imminent. Two such alerts were in September, one in November and four in December during extremely cold weather all across the province, (when a blackout might have been catastrophic). This information comes from the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) 2022 Market Statistics report. In all cases, the collapse of renewables was a key factor. In this video, Michelle walks viewers through some information about the power grid and also the foreign-funding behind many of the big Environmental Non-governmental Organizations (ENGOs) who have pushed to get these renewables and climate policies in place. Alberta has gone from having a substantial reserve margin in place on the grid for such emergencies, to now having only 12% reserve margin, while also being short 1,000 MW of dispatchable power over 2014. So power demand has risen, reliable, dispatchable power generation has dropped dramatically, and we have many more megawatts of renewable power on the grid - which has made it unstable. As of Aug. 6, 2023, news reports said Premier Danielle Smith also cited federal regulations against natural gas development as a reason for the moratorium. Likewise, Michelle notes there are anti-natural gas activists who want to completely phase out natural gas, which is the primary source of power for Alberta. Will we all be in the dark?
