We've got a bit of a climate change roundup this week with our friend Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science,
00:00:04.500
and then we're discussing her side project, wherein she examines the narrative around Indian residential schools here in Canada.
00:00:13.420
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:30.000
You know, since COVID has receded, we've gone back to the same old emergency, catastrophe.
00:00:40.940
The old thing that they used to use to control your life and where you went and what you could eat and the kind of car you could drive,
00:00:50.200
how far you can get away from your house, that sounds a lot like COVID, doesn't it?
00:00:54.480
The politicians who were hell-bent on controlling all the comings and goings and your interactions during COVID,
00:01:02.600
well, COVID's gone, and so they have to go back to the old one, climate change.
00:01:08.800
And there are a few different ways that they are using climate change to control your life,
00:01:13.660
and one of those ways is infesting the banking industry with climate hysteria,
00:01:19.100
which will lead, of course, to carbon social credits.
00:01:24.480
And if you think that's just a conspiracy theory, they're already doing this sort of thing to major energy projects.
00:01:30.840
If it doesn't meet climate targets, well, maybe the bank won't finance it.
00:01:37.620
So it's a bureaucratic prohibition on an already approved project.
00:01:43.260
And then after we discuss that with my friend Michelle Sterling and a whole host of other issues,
00:01:51.800
we're moving into something else that she has been acutely focused on,
00:01:56.060
and that is the facts around Indian residential schools here in Canada.
00:02:04.640
She is someone who worked in Alberta history, in particular, for a very, very long time.
00:02:11.800
And so she's got a lot more expertise than the people accusing skeptics of genocide denial
00:02:37.800
So joining me now is my friend and good friend of the show, Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science.
00:02:42.500
And there's so much to talk about on the climate front, because now that COVID has receded,
00:02:47.060
we've gone back to the old emergency that's going to kill us all, and that's climate change.
00:02:51.980
Michelle, thanks so much for coming on the show.
00:02:54.420
Now, I wanted to talk to you, before we get into some other things, about you had sort of made a list of things that you wanted to talk about,
00:03:06.160
but there were some things that I wanted to talk about, too.
00:03:08.700
But I noticed this week, and the reason I sort of mentioned COVID is because there is a woman now suing CBC
00:03:17.360
and several levels of government and officers of government because of the propaganda that she fell victim to with COVID.
00:03:27.460
And she ended up with Bell's palsy and severe vaccine injury.
00:03:33.620
But and so there are attempts to hold CBC and the government responsible for their bad, flawed messaging there,
00:03:40.760
or at least their messaging that wasn't entirely honest.
00:03:45.020
And I see that you've done a little bit of deconstructing CBC's, what would we call misinformation,
00:04:00.280
It was a live show, Deconstructing CBC's Propaganda.
00:04:06.380
Yeah, the Deconstructing CBC's Propaganda, this was about the Fault Lines Report,
00:04:14.040
which also contained a lot of COVID material as well.
00:04:17.760
And basically, the Fault Lines Report was set up by the Canadian Council of Academics
00:04:23.060
or something to that effect, or Canadian Council of Academies.
00:04:27.500
Anyway, a multimillion-dollar organization, basically government-funded.
00:04:31.500
And, you know, we were the only group picked out by name in it.
00:04:36.960
But, you know, when you go through the CBC report,
00:04:40.340
you see that they're trying a new method of indoctrination and propaganda,
00:04:52.200
because, you know, the live stream that we did really takes her to task,
00:05:02.940
Instead, she was creating this kind of narrative, storyline narrative,
00:05:09.740
And then they put Stephen Lewandowski on screen,
00:05:12.820
and he's a professor of cognitive behavioral psychology.
00:05:18.120
He's the guy who wrote the very famous paper called
00:05:20.760
NASA Fake the Moon Landing, which then he tried to apply to all dissenting climate scientists
00:05:31.360
So this may be starting to sound a bit familiar to everyone.
00:05:34.600
Anyway, he said almost nothing, but in his interview,
00:05:39.540
and really the Fault Lines Report that Jayla did was not reporting at all.
00:05:46.040
So within that live stream, I did sort of like,
00:05:49.940
what if she had been reporting on actual things in the report?
00:05:55.720
So, you know, have a look at it and see what you think.
00:05:58.520
But yeah, CBC is, you know, not informing the public.
00:06:03.780
They're actively misinforming the public on so many things.
00:06:06.740
Now, one of the things that I think should have been all over mainstream media,
00:06:15.600
it happened in May, and I didn't see it anywhere except on the Friends of Science YouTube channel.
00:06:21.660
And that was that wind power in Alberta went to near zero.
00:06:28.760
And this was chilling to me because of the federal push for net zero policies.
00:06:36.000
They don't want even fossil fuel backup when it comes to green energy on the grid.
00:06:44.680
that there was a complete and total collapse of wind energy in Alberta in late May,
00:06:54.340
First of all, tell us what happened and what that would have meant for us
00:06:57.560
if there were no such thing as fossil fuel backup for a grid.
00:07:01.620
Well, it's actually, there was one media report, and that was Brian Zinchuk of Pipeline Online.
00:07:09.080
So he did the first report of it, and then I picked it up and basically read his report as a video message
00:07:16.340
because, you know, it reaches more people and some people don't read.
00:07:19.360
Anyhow, yeah, wind collapsed, and for many hours, I don't have the stats off the top of my head,
00:07:28.600
but what it would mean for us is if we didn't have the natural gas backup,
00:07:34.220
which we do have, and we're building a couple of thousand megawatt more gas generation,
00:07:39.180
and if we didn't have the existing coal, which we do have,
00:07:42.940
if we didn't have the import from Saskatchewan, Montana, and B.C., we would have been toast.
00:07:48.820
And the thing is with wind, wind and solar are typically regional phenomenon.
00:07:55.980
So if there's a drop in wind in Alberta, that would be the same in Saskatchewan.
00:08:00.520
And Saskatchewan is also under tremendous pressure to abandon coal and not use any natural gas
00:08:10.680
And, of course, the theory of the clean grid, which the east-west grid,
00:08:15.480
which is a liberal platform, has been for a long time.
00:08:19.160
It's based on probably on the Danny Harvey paper out of University of Toronto,
00:08:25.700
where he proposed, and note, he's a geographer, he's not a power generation expert,
00:08:33.080
and you can tell when you read the paper, because he thinks that an east-west grid
00:08:37.960
hooking up to hydro in the provinces with lots of hydro and nuclear in Ontario,
00:08:45.140
and wind mostly, like 30% of the wind power, I think, was to come from Alberta,
00:08:49.380
that we would have a very cheap, inexpensive power source.
00:08:55.440
And you're hearing this being repeated by the Clean Energy Canada,
00:09:05.680
And their argument is like, oh, there's so many billions of dollars on the table
00:09:11.040
for the provinces to be subsidized for this, you should just jump in,
00:09:17.380
Well, all those billions of dollars of subsidies come from our pockets,
00:09:21.560
so we'll be paying for these subsidies, not to mention,
00:09:25.340
there's not enough power on the grid right now for the EV policy in Canada, period.
00:09:33.060
So if you're going to be electrifying houses and trying to hook up an east-west grid,
00:09:38.200
I mean, look what happened in Quebec over the Christmas holidays, right?
00:09:44.080
and they have problems there now because they have electrified a lot of homes
00:09:53.140
So how can we hope to draw from Quebec's big hydro to Alberta
00:09:59.660
And if the wind goes flat here, we'll all be in blackout.
00:10:03.360
You know, and blackout is not only dangerous for humans,
00:10:08.000
but it's catastrophically expensive for industry.
00:10:11.880
You know, if you have some manufacturing process,
00:10:22.280
then you have millions of dollars of product that's kaput.
00:10:29.240
they do have backup power for probably three or four days maybe.
00:10:33.580
But I think a lot of people in Quebec were out for a week or two, right?
00:10:44.760
We've got a number of reports like the true cost of wind and solar for Alberta,
00:10:54.120
that help people understand why it's so expensive to do this
00:10:59.740
So, I don't know, there's like a freight train mentality
00:11:16.220
Yeah, and you can watch this stuff happen in real time.
00:11:20.320
There's a Twitter account called Reliable Energy Alberta,
00:11:47.520
Take a look at that on a cold day or a hot day.
00:12:01.280
Yeah, you can look at the Alberta Electric System
00:12:05.060
That's where the data comes from for Reliable AB.
