Canadian bill would send people to prison for saying anything favorable about oil, gas or coal

A bill introduced in the Canadian House of Commons would ban making statements that might promote the use of fossil fuels.

Charlie Angus, a member of the Canadian Parliament and the New Democratic Party, said in a statement that the bill would “make illegal false advertising by the oil and gas industry.”

“The big tobacco moment has arrived. We know that big oil has done years of disinformation and interference and false claims about the damage it is doing to the planet, but it is also killing people,” Angus said.

The preamble of the bill blames multiple examples of bad weather on the fossil fuel industry and compares its products, which are the basis of over 80% of the world’s primary energy and thousands of everyday consumer goods, to the use of tobacco.

According to the National Post, the bill so broadly defines “false advertising” that it could apply to any statement favorable to the oil and gas industry, including an “I Love Canadian Oil and Gas” bumper sticker. The bill would also criminalize statements of fact, such as suggesting that natural gas has fewer emissions than coal.

:eye roll: My heart goes out to Canadians. This might be the USA had diben or kamala won or finagled their way to the presidency instead of Trump.

It seems like the whole SANE world is praying for Donald Trump's success. You can see where that will ready people to put their hopes in another man when that other man's time has come.
 
How crazy is this bill. I wonder if it even has a remote chance of being passed?
Well the National Post is NUTS to say it hasn't a chance

I think it DOES have a large chance of passing and here's how.

The NDP (who are sponsoring this bill) have an agreement called the supply and something or other with Trudeau to keep him in power, and keep the Liberals going- AS LONG AS THEY LET THE NDP do whatever the NDP wants.

Since the NDP, the greens AND Trudeau's Libs ALL HATE fossil fuels they are likely to band together.

The only hope and it's running out fast is that while Parliament is prorogued (on pause) nothing can get passed.

Since the combination of Liberals and NDP is enough to outvote the Conservatives (Pierre Poilievre) this could be the price for Trudeau to remain in power till the fall.
 
Guess they don't like modern medical care . . . disposable impermeable gloves, IVs, one-use syringes, anesthesia, oxygen, oxygen tents, lab tests, tubes of potions and antiseptics, etc., etc., etc.

How about the next time they need a root canal, the dentist doesn't offer them any anesthesia and doesn't glove up, first?
