Calgary City Council voted to rescind the Climate Emergency Declaration. Kudos to the Councillors that put forward the motion and the team that worked hard to make it happen. We need to dig deeper, though, because we know there is no climate emergency.

00:00:00.000 Our team had found out that the Calgary City Council was going to have an election, a vote, sorry, regarding climate change emergency declaration.
00:00:13.280 And it was to have it removed. Sorry, I was just going down for the details.
00:00:15.960 There were two motions that were put forward, rescinding the climate emergency declaration, value for money audit and climate strategy spending, and then rescinding the climate emergency.
00:00:27.320 And so kudos to the councillors that put that forward.
00:00:31.980 And once we found out about it, our team, Renee, is doing an amazing job in Alberta on that team
00:00:37.500 and watching what's going on, writing the action.
00:00:41.060 Sondra stepped up, helped to write the action and get all the information in place.
00:00:45.860 And then I put my finishing touches on it as well.
00:00:48.920 And so anyways, we had a win and the vote was 10 to 5 to cancel the emergency climate measure that the former mayor Gondak had put in place.
00:01:03.780 And so, you know, the fact that it passed from 10 to 5 is awesome.
00:01:09.440 It's absolutely amazing.
00:01:11.220 But what our team is doing, we call it a partial win.
00:01:14.120 We've got to dig deeper because what my question is, is, okay, that's all very nice that they've done it, but have they pulled all the funding for it? Because we know hundreds of billions of dollars of your tax dollars are seeping into this wealth transfer under the name of climate change and green energy.
00:01:33.100 And it's a complete pile of garbage. And the reports have come out exactly on that, saying that this climate change fraud, it's implausible to reach their goals, especially based on the fact that there is no climate emergency. So kudos to the Calgary Mayor and City Council.
