Jim Warren: 2010 was the inflection point, with social media bringing woke culture and zealous environmentalism to the fore
Can supporters of a rational, economically-feasible transition to renewable energy reasonably hope to convince enough policy makers and members of the public that the overly zealous goals of dogmatic environmentalists are irrational and potentially dangerous?
Editorial: Facebook and Instagram to start blocking Pipeline Online links on Sunday. This is 1979, on the way to Orwell’s 1984
I will be attending federal Minister of Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s event with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce in Regina on June 28. He will be talking about the “just transition,” which means to do away with the oil and gas sector, one of Saskatchewan’s most important industries. But you won’t be able to share any of my stories coming from that event on Facebook, or Instagram. I don’t even know if you can privately share it on Facebook Messenger. Likely not. So a federal minister might be speaking about the demise of your industry and livelihood, and you can’t share or even read those stories through Facebook. There’s a wee possibility that “just transitioning” your job out of existence might upset you. But that story will be verboten on Facebook. As will every other story.
Jim Warren: Freezing in the Dark, 2023 Version. How many Canadians do Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault anticipate the “just transition” will kill?
The hazards presented by disruptions to the reliability of the electrical power grid and our capacity to use natural gas to heat buildings, along with wild spikes in energy prices, go well beyond the threats of inconvenience and financial losses. These sorts of energy system failures also contribute to health problems. Freezing in the dark is not just the punch line from a 1970s bumper sticker. High energy prices and service disruptions can kill people — even in rich countries like Canada.
Brian Zinchuk: Facebook has commenced strangling Canadian news media and Danielle Smith. This is censorship, the destruction of the entire concept of a free press
This is 1984 in real time. Today, they may be coming for me and Danielle Smith. What will happen when they come for you?
Brian Zinchuk: How Brie cheese could defeat a French-Canadian prime minister
It won’t be environmental policy, gender issues, pipelines, windmills or electric cars that will cause people to vote out the Liberals. It will be that wheel of Brie cheese young people can no longer afford, as they drive home past homes they may never have a chance to own.
