“Limit consumption of hydrocarbons by individual Canadians in terms of allowable miles travelled by motor vehicle, train or air.”

During the recent COP26 summit, Justin Trudeau hosted a carbon pricing conference showcasing Canada’s carbon policy. He referred to it as “one of the most stringent and ambitious in the world.”

“The climate conference was a veritable who’s who of world leaders, with some 30,000 delegates descending onto Glasgow for the conference.”

In terms of a domestic carbon program, no emission reduction mandates had thus far been established beyond an agreement between Alberta and Ottawa to limit output at 100 megatonnes per year. Canada emits roughly 730 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent annually. The Trudeau government has now mandated a specific 100-megatonne reduction for our oil and gas sector by the year 2030. 

This in itself is not a surprise. What should make the ears of Canadians perk up is one of the proposed restrictions to accomplish the goal. Among other current considerations in the Liberal government’s proposal, we discover the following:

“Limit personal consumption of hydrocarbons by individual Canadians, in terms of allowable miles travelled by motor vehicle, train or air.”

My, my– Canada is certainly filled with surprises these days. Last week delivered another zinger:

“Deliberately coughing at someone during the COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a criminal assault.”

  1. Since this idiot thinks he is the only one aloud to travel EVERYWHERE. Canadians need to supply him with his own means of travel. I am not talking about anything with an engine. He needs to have transportation that requires leg power. Yes, you guessed it either bicycle or shanks mare (walking). For long distance travel he could be supplied with one of those early inventions involving the use of a bicycle with wings. Anything more would have to come out of his personal finances. Accommodations willl have to be in the lines of a tent, with a campfire for warmth and cooking. He would have to be able to transport it himself. If he starts a wildfire the onus will be on him.
    Monkey see, monkey do. This alone would cut Canada’s non-carbon footprint by 90% I am sure. Yes Trudeau, we can play hardball too.
