Action for Canada's Tanya Gaw is the founder and leader of Action for Canada, a group dedicated to fighting climate change, poverty, and injustice in Canada. She has been on the front lines of the fight against climate change for the past 10 years, and is here to remind us that we are all in this together.
00:00:51.400Oh, well, no wonder he doesn't want to tell us what his investments are before we vote.
00:00:58.820I'm so honoured to introduce you to Tanya Gaw, the founder and leader of Action for Canada.
00:01:05.720For nearly 10 years, Tanya has been bringing awareness and truth to Canadians about the destructive government policies damaging our nation.
00:01:14.160Through calls to action, relevant resources, timely campaigns, and weekly guests on the Empower Hour, Tanya has inspired and empowered Canadians to stand up for our rights and freedoms.
00:01:26.980Will you all please help me welcome Tanya Gaw.
00:01:33.580As you're saying, you know, nearly 10 years, 10 years of my life, I can see Tom shaking his head in the background there as well.
00:01:41.480Like, I couldn't, I can't believe that it's almost 10 years that we've been fighting this battle.
00:01:45.860But the best part of it is, Heather, is that I have met amazing people like you, amazing people like Tom, our chapter leaders, and all the people across this nation that love this country.
00:01:57.160And we're not going to stop this fight until we win.
00:01:59.920And before bringing our guest on tonight, I am going to do, provide a couple of highlights, some wins, some good news reports.
00:02:09.620And it's been a while since I've done that.
00:02:11.880I'm not doing the weekly news updates every week because there's so much good stuff that we're doing in the background.
00:02:17.560It is quite a battle, but we are organizing.
00:02:20.420I'm meeting with lawyers, strategy meetings with the chapter leaders, and initiating campaigns across the country.
00:02:27.940And as we slowly push back, I mean, we're really taking background from the enemy.
00:02:32.620And so I will share my screen right now and get into that so we can bring Tom on.
00:02:40.160So that's just a view of our map across Canada and all those beautiful little maple leaves represent Action for Canada chapters.
00:02:47.180And I believe very, very soon we're going to have our first chapter in Quebec.
00:02:51.840That will be hopefully the beginning of many more.
00:02:55.040So to start with, and to give you a little bit of hope, there won't be any sound on this because it's in a different language, but this was in Lourdes in France.
00:03:03.780And as we go into the Resurrection Sunday, Good Friday coming up this week, there are Christians around the world that are celebrating.
00:03:13.520Well, 20,000 French Christians came out to celebrate and watch this massive crowd as it moves.
00:04:20.280I just wanted to personally, we're sending out our email tomorrow morning, and I just wanted to personally wish you all, I don't say Happy Easter because the term Easter is actually a pagan goddess.
00:04:34.180And so it became, you know, just as with everything, taking Christmas and taking Easter and making it about Easter bunnies and Santa Claus, and that's not what it's about.
00:04:45.640So I'm going to stick to Happy Resurrection Sunday.
00:04:51.140And just that my thoughts are with everybody, all of our members and everybody watching this video.
00:04:57.600And down below as well, if you aren't somebody who has a church or maybe you don't go to church, but you want to listen to a service, then I would highly recommend Dr. David Jeremiah, Pastor David Jeremiah's service that we've provided on that page.
00:05:12.600Okay, so we put this action out this week, we are at war in our school boards that have been overtaken by wokeism and individuals that are bringing a highly elevated attack against our children, against morality, and especially in the Catholic school system, they're sneaking into the Christian school systems as well.
00:05:39.080And I think that these should be no-go zones.
00:05:40.780Our public schools should definitely be no-go zones as well, because this is a political movement.
00:05:47.640This is not just some minority group, the LGBTQ activists, they are political, and they've been taking a lot of ground, and we need to take it back.
00:05:56.780So we won in Dufferin Peel last year, and again in a challenge in Dufferin Peel at the beginning of this year, making sure that the pride flags cannot be displayed in the Dufferin Catholic School District.
00:06:08.140And Waterloo, that was a big action that we sent out this week, and I thank all of the members who showed up at 10.30 in the morning, even though the meeting started at 7.00.
00:06:21.540And this particular meeting on the 14th was to vote for a new chair, because the last one had stepped down and there was an interim chair.
00:06:31.320Unfortunately, the chair that I'm hearing they refer to her as woke is the one that got elected, because a trustee, Bob, there's nine trustees.
00:06:40.580There's four who are committed to their Christian faith, and then there are four who should not be on that board, as far as being a Catholic school district is concerned.
00:06:50.540And Bob was sitting in the middle, and Bob has future political aspirations, I hear.
00:06:56.360And so I don't know why he thought he was on the right side of history in voting for a woke chairperson when he could have voted for the gal that was currently in the position,
00:07:07.820who really cared about our kids and protecting them and getting all of this political agenda out of the school systems and just focusing on education,
00:07:18.780just focusing on good morals and having our kids being able to thrive when they graduate from the school system.
00:07:25.640So the vote on the flag is going to be April 28th.
00:07:32.060I'll probably just refurbish this email and say, please, please, please take the time when we put these actions out to email the school board.
00:07:42.260We've got superintendents listed here, as well as the nine school board trustees.
00:07:46.580It is so important that you take this action because they're like, wow, you know what?
00:17:17.340That's 40% of global financial assets.
00:17:20.140Global financial institutions can play a number of roles to help economies in the transition.
00:17:24.860First, the most obvious is to get money, to get capital to those companies that have plans to get their emissions down.
00:17:33.620And so part of that is, I'd say, the easy bit, which is to build new renewable power, wind, solar,
00:17:40.000soon at great scale, hydrogen, also hydroelectric, and in some cases, nuclear.
00:17:44.020But the more complex part is finding those companies in industries that have high emissions.
00:17:50.360Think of the steel industry, aviation, much of manufacturing, and finding those companies that have plans,
00:17:56.020that have to make big investments to get those emissions down.
00:17:59.440And put a number around it, it's an extra $2.5 to $3 trillion a year of additional finance that we have to find in order to get those emissions down.
00:18:12.820But that's not all that finance can do.
00:18:15.400What finance has to do as well is to provide capital for the adaptation of our economies.
00:18:21.480We need to build more resilient infrastructure for the more extreme weather that we already experience.
00:18:26.640And the tragic fact is that we are going to experience more droughts, more hurricanes, more extreme weather, and more damage.
00:18:33.040So we need to invest in that resiliency.
00:18:34.620And we need to provide better safety nets for people around the world and very much in the emerging and developing economies.
00:18:43.260Many of those who are most vulnerable have no financial protection when the most damaging aspects of climate change get.
00:18:50.240And we need to do a much better job of providing that support, that coverage to help literally protect people.
00:18:56.500The most effective policies for accelerating emissions reductions are those policies that are very clear and provide certainty and incentives for businesses and for financial institutions to act.
00:19:13.960In Canada, there's a carbon price, and it is legislated.
00:19:17.640At the end of this decade, that carbon price is $170 per ton.
00:19:21.900The carbon price today in Canada is $50 a ton.
00:19:24.200But financial institutions and businesses know that if they take action today, they're saving that cost because that's the decisive point.
00:19:34.260In Europe, there are a series of moratoriums on the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles.
00:19:44.440And so that's part of the reason why we're seeing so much activity in the auto industry today to transform to produce only electric vehicles.
00:19:54.500So these deep decarbonization policies, policies that, at a date certain in the future, tell industry, tell finance, tell all stakeholders where countries are going to go, they provide the incentive to act today.
00:20:24.380And I mean, as I say, he makes Trudeau look like a moderate.
00:20:27.200And in 2021, he launched this group, which is called the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero.
00:20:34.660And happily, a fair number of banks are withdrawing from this.
00:20:37.920But regardless, I call it an initiative aimed at bringing together financial institutions to force, and I put that word force in there, the transition to a net zero economy.
00:20:48.140And I say force, because, of course, if you don't give them the money, they need to run their businesses, you don't have a business.
00:20:55.340So that's the guy who is now currently our prime minister.
00:20:59.080And if the polls are right, he has a good chance of even getting a majority.
00:21:05.020We really have to actually forward this video and anything else you can find to your friends who are thinking, Mark Carney, oh, he's just like my friendly uncle.
00:21:13.780And, you know, it's sad because I think many people who support Mark Carney have no clue as to what I'm about to show you.
00:21:20.960And I think they're voting for him simply because he seems like a friendly uncle, at least the way the CBC and others portray him.
00:21:27.740And, oh, my goodness, Carney, or I should say, Polly, I have a Pierce Cross, you know, that sort of thing.
00:21:32.960Now, the People's Party are great, and I would support them, except for the fact that the only party that can actually defeat the liberals are the conservatives.
00:21:41.860So I'm going to watch the polls closely.
00:21:44.420Given my preferential choice, I would vote People's Party.
00:21:47.400But maybe I'll have to vote conservative if it looks like it's going to be close, which I think it probably will be.
00:48:25.120When we actually look at where the different sources of energy come from, the production of the minerals, for example, they're largely coming from China.
00:48:53.740I don't want to see the city of Ottawa electrified on the backs of African children breathing radioactive dust and tunnels that are collapsing.
00:49:01.820You know, so, I mean, there are a lot of things that people just don't know because the CBC and others are protecting them from it.
00:49:09.180So, I'd suggest this book here, Helping Citizens Understand the Environmental and Human Abuses to Support Clean Energy.
00:50:02.220The other problem, of course, is that our power supplies will be regularly interrupted with brownouts and blackouts like experienced in Texas.
00:50:10.200Remember, I talked to you about this last time.
00:50:12.660Up to 700 people died because the state's wind turbines failed just before winter storm Uri hit.
00:50:19.680And you can actually see that right here.
00:50:22.240The green, dark green, is wind power just before the storm hit.
00:50:29.700Now, one of the craziest things that you won't find a little hard to believe, it sounds like it's out of Monty Python.
00:50:35.120It's so stupid, is that to please the environmentalists, they decided to power a lot of the natural gas pipelines with wind power.
00:50:43.840So, when the wind failed, they couldn't even get the natural gas around in a lot of these places.
00:50:50.680So, you know, if you actually take it to its extreme, the climate scare will kill not 700 people, but millions of people.
00:50:59.260Because the bottom line is Texas came within a few minutes of a total grid failure that would have lasted weeks and killed thousands of people.
00:51:07.580You see, if the frequency goes below a certain level, the whole system comes down, okay?
00:51:13.480And they need something called a black start to get out of it, and that takes a very long time.
00:51:18.560And we have to realize that Carney would continue and add to 140 climate-related measures.
00:51:24.540I won't read all this, but it just goes on and on and on.
00:51:27.720I mean, there is so much the cost of this will be.
00:51:30.460He also wants to bring in a very complicated set of tariffs that would be imposed on goods from countries that don't have the same climate policies as us.
00:51:41.260In other words, practically everybody in the world except for Western Europe, okay?
00:51:46.840So, this would mean imposing a broad range of tariffs on Canada's largest trading partners, the United States, Mexico, and China.
00:51:53.760And, you know, if you want to annoy Trump, this is virtually guaranteed to do it, okay?
00:52:01.440So, we're going to end up in a massive trade war if Carney gets in.
00:52:05.400Because, as I said earlier, this is actually part of what Carney wants to do.
00:52:10.240Now, the CBC won't tell us because, well, look at this.
00:52:19.920So, they'll have you believe that these are green energy sources.
00:52:24.060It's going to stop climate change, even though Canada's contribution is negligible and have no effect, even if it were true, that we were causing climate change.
00:52:38.660And, you know, a lot of people think they can beat this by not addressing the fact that there's no climate emergency.
00:52:45.340And, you know, for example, the best people, anti-best people, I gave a presentation on Saturday to a group of 30 farmers.
00:52:53.040And I said to them, look, you know, you're opposing the battery energy storage systems because of fire potential, because of explosions, pollution, noise, you know, destruction of rural farmland, turning it into industrial.
00:53:07.900But the problem is, and it's the same thing with 15-minute cities and the same thing with all the different bad outcomes of the climate scare.
00:53:15.380The problem is what will happen in many cases is that the politicians will say, yeah, yeah, there is some risk to this.
00:53:22.660There are some downsides, but we have to save the climate.
00:53:26.480And as long as they can say that, they have a moral high ground.
00:53:29.900Now, the beauty of action for Canada is, unlike most of the groups, you are not afraid to say there is no climate emergency, which is beautiful because without that, I think the people will lose the argument.
00:53:43.680I mean, it's a little bit like arguing, you know, against men and women's sports, but not saying that there's a biological difference between men and women.
00:53:52.400I mean, this is a fundamental underlying thing that has to be said.
00:53:56.260So I said to this group, and I think they're on side, I think they're going to now start appearing at committee meetings, but you have to do it strategically, okay?
00:54:04.440In the case of 15-minute cities and all these things, you have to do it strategically.
00:54:08.460In other words, if you have your first person presenting saying there's no climate emergency, so all this is garbage, the trouble is the politicians will dismiss you as a climate denier.
00:54:19.460And they won't listen to all the valid arguments that are brought up about the negative consequences of the 15-minute city or the wind turbines or the battery energy storage systems.
00:54:32.340You have to give them a reason to want to kill the battery energy storage systems or the 15-minute cities.
00:54:38.800So you start by talking about, in the case of the batteries, massive fire risk, explosion, pollution, destruction of farmland, you know, the noise and everything else, reduction in the value of property.
00:54:52.540So the first few people appearing in a meeting should coordinate themselves so they bring up all the negative.
00:54:58.940And, you know, what's going to happen is by a third or fourth person speaking, a lot of people in the audience will say, geez, this is really bad.
00:55:31.900In God we trust, all others bring data.
00:55:34.700They said, after analyzing the best empirical data available, and they go on to say this, the Right Climate Stuff team concluded that there is no climate crisis, and increasing carbon dioxide and rising temperatures will be beneficial to our civilization and the biosphere.
00:55:53.440So you really have to know your facts with regards to the climate issue.
00:55:58.400And that's where I want to introduce our book here that Canadians for Sensible Climate Policy put out for the Heartland Institute.
00:56:05.980If you actually go to our website, you can order one of these for $25 on the web.
00:56:10.180That includes tax and shipping and everything else.
00:56:12.520And it gives you the economics of why the climate scare is deadly.
00:56:18.860And it follows up, strategically follows up, with the fact that it's not necessary because the climate scare is ridiculous.
00:56:48.340The Maritimes were, you know, almost a century ago.
00:56:51.880You know, so this book, and I'm encouraging you to order it because, of course, we're selling it.
00:56:57.680But we're really hoping people will get this book and maybe even get a couple of extra.
00:57:02.460If you commit to giving it to your representatives, we'll send you some books for free, okay?
00:57:08.820But, yeah, this is how you get up to speed on the basics you need to kill the climate scare and with it to destroy the chances that we will follow Mark Carney down the road to disaster.
01:03:03.120So long story short, Mark Stein has won in court against Michael Mann.
01:03:11.920And the judge had even, it says here, found that the father of the hockey stick chart knowingly and willingly,
01:03:18.880willfully used erroneous and misleading information.
01:03:22.400So Michael Mann is now being labeled as a liar and a fraud.
01:03:26.220In turn, where he was trying to get a million dollars out of Mark Stein through lawfare,
01:03:30.820Mark Stein, in fact, he had to pay $5,000, but the judge awarded him costs at 500, I think it was $580,000.
01:03:40.440So we can bet that the climate alarmists are not going to acknowledge this case anytime soon.
01:03:47.000But what it does is it has provided ammo for our side to say, look, more and more, we're providing you evidence that all of this climate change is indeed a fraud by those who are wanting to financially benefit themselves.
01:04:04.560And Mark Carney is on the front line of that.
01:04:44.680Oh, well, no wonder he doesn't want to tell us what his investments are before we vote.
01:04:49.600Well, and I don't know if you saw it, there was breaking news today.
01:04:53.180Sam Cooper's been doing all of this reporting on foreign interference, and several police have come out, and they've provided evidence of foreign interference.
01:05:04.920And as no surprise to us, Chrystia Freeland, Melanie Jolie, Etel, Cesis, were all named in this, and they're demanding that Mark Carney, what, like, they're demanding that he do something about this.
01:05:19.300In other words, we're going into election. We don't know all the redacted elected officials that are currently running right now.
01:05:26.060I think a lot of them have stepped down because the fact that it's not going to look good when they are named.
01:05:31.760But this, I just want to give people encouragement. It's like, oh, you know, I think Mark Carney's going to win.
01:05:36.760It's like, this potentially could do him in, and the Liberal Party.
01:05:40.320Yeah, actually, you know, one of my advisors who studies the politics very closely, and he doesn't want me to name him, but he's saying he thinks Polyev will win.
01:05:50.260So we'll see. I mean, Polyev's no saint in, you know, knight in shining armor, but he's infinitely better than Carney.
01:05:59.580At least he'd be going in the right direction.
01:06:01.240I mean, I'd love to see a PPC candidate elected or Christian Heritage Party, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon.
01:06:08.920So at least not, maybe one or two somewhere.
01:06:12.080But yeah, so I think people, you know, this is my little pitch.
01:06:16.260I think you have to vote strategically.
01:06:18.240I mean, if you're in a riding where the Liberals are going to win by a landslide, well, then maybe you vote for PPC because that's who you really support.
01:06:26.240But if it's close, I think we have to vote against, you know, Trudeau, not Trudeau, it's Trudeau squared.
01:06:34.660We have to, I think I'm going to vote Polyev because I think it is close in my riding.
01:06:40.320Yeah, and I'm, it's an interesting conversation to have, and, you know, it's a very stressful time for people, but I'm going to vote with what I know is right.
01:06:48.760And I'm going to vote PPC in my riding and what, because I've been studying very much and paying attention to what's going on in the European nations where the populist vote has won.
01:07:00.560And it came where people had to make, you know, a decision to go with what they knew was right instead of the worst of two evils.
01:07:08.760And I think we're getting close to that, Tom.
01:07:12.260And that, I think, is a fundamentally better approach.
01:07:15.800And, you know, it's interesting because there were people in the audience on Saturday when I spoke who were PPC candidates, actually, in the local ridings.
01:07:23.680And I said to them, you know, there's only two parties that have the right climate approach, and that is the PPC and the Christian Heritage Party.
01:07:52.140So, I mean, I hope the People's Party, you know, get to the point where they're like the Reform Party, where they start to bring in more and more MPs.
01:07:59.300And eventually, the Conservative Party, hopefully, will realize that's where the people are, you know, and maybe merge with them.
01:08:09.960I know, and there's a possibility as well that when the PPC finally get a few people in, that there will be actual conservatives who had that strategy to be conservative, who may cross the aisle.
01:08:28.640There's a couple of questions that have come, and then we'll wrap this show up, because I don't want it to be too long, because I want people to be able to share this with friends, family, and with elected officials, and really get this information out.
01:08:45.360Who in the scientific community would live debate Carney on the issues of carbon and weather change, and how to get Carney to agree to a live televised debate?
01:09:12.220If he were to, in fact, you'd laugh, at one point, he was debating the, I think it was the environment minister of Quebec, and he so thoroughly, politely, but so thoroughly defeated him that after the debate was over, the media went to interview both of them, the environment minister and Ian Clark, and the environment minister ran away.
01:09:32.880He wouldn't talk to the press, because Clark massacred him.
01:10:02.180I honestly think he probably believes it, but because it's so financially beneficial, I think there's a little bit of a biased investigation going on there.
01:10:25.460But because Mann was in the U.S., Tim didn't get a dime.
01:10:29.480I mean, Michael Mann was ordered to pay Tim, but Tim's family and, you know, his beneficiaries obviously really suffered.
01:10:37.240And the sad thing is that Tim actually suffered really serious health impact because the trial was so hard on him.
01:10:45.400Yeah, Mark Stein is going through the same thing.
01:10:47.920One of my directors knows him personally.
01:10:50.500And, I mean, it's still got to be wonderful to hear the fact that you've won, especially in today's climate where the courts have just dragged people along.
01:11:01.340Like, this should have never lasted 10 years.
01:11:03.640And, you know, I'm just writing an article tonight, actually, after this interview, where I think it will really inspire people.
01:11:12.820It is dying across the world in all kinds of ways.
01:11:15.860I mean, we obviously know in the U.S. it is where, you know, the Secretary of Defense, he said, excuse the language, but he said, we're in charge of defense, not this climate crap.
01:11:29.240Now, there's all kinds of indicators all across the world now that the climate scare is starting to die.
01:11:35.060And when the article's finished and published, I'll send you a copy because I think it's inspirational to see not only Mark Stein win, but also to see that other people are waking up gradually.
01:11:46.420Well, and we've had good results in talking to people, mayor, city councils, a lot of them, you know, heard about this climate alarmism and they didn't do their due diligence and they didn't research it.
01:11:59.000They just sign on the dotted line or say A, I, whatever, you know, and voted in favor of it without doing the research.
01:12:05.880And now having that opportunity one-on-one to come in and educate some of them, sometimes it's got to be a little more forcefully with pushback and calls to action and pressing in on them for them to get a bit of a jolt and actually listen to what it is that we're talking about.
01:12:24.960You know, one thing Mark Carney keeps saying is, oh, oil and gas and coal will become stranded assets because nobody's going to want them.
01:12:31.760In reality, and this is what I pointed out to the councillors when I spoke to the Agriculture and Real Affairs Committee two weeks ago, the real stranded assets will be wind and solar power plants and battery storage systems.
01:12:45.300And they're going to have to spend a huge amount of money to dismantle these things because nobody's going to want to pay 10, 20, 30 times more for electricity.
01:12:54.340They're going to say, no, just give me good natural gas electricity or coal or nuclear.
01:12:58.740But the problem is, these things will become stranded assets.
01:13:02.960Nobody's going to want them when the climate scare dies.
01:13:07.020When you were talking about wind turbines, solar and batteries, I was like, wind turbines, eyesores, killing birds.
01:13:12.720They're caught burying them in the ground because what do you do with these monstrosities?
01:13:17.640And then the solars are useless in the winter, buried under snow, again an eyesore, taking up agricultural land, complete farce.
01:13:27.520And then the batteries are bad, not only bad for the environment and, you know, to get rid of them when they're done, but also on the backs of slave labor.
01:13:37.420There is not a whole lot positive about this.
01:13:40.260And you know what the price, you know what the price tag is?
01:13:42.640For Ottawa, they want to build, for example, a battery energy storage system west of the city.
01:14:06.180You know, it's much better to have a home generator, you know, a gas power generator or, you know, your own personal system.
01:14:12.660But to have one for the whole city at a cost of $650 million for that particular battery energy storage system, a thousand times greater cost per kilowatt hour.
01:18:48.120We have guaranteed rights in this country.
01:18:51.460We are putting chapters across the nation.
01:19:01.120We are going to be in every town and every city.
01:19:05.560And we are going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people who are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other and give each other the help when they're down.
01:19:16.580We are going to use the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses.
01:19:24.820The government's actions are completely 100% unlawful.
01:19:31.520Judgment will again be found on justice and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.
01:19:39.960You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.
01:19:46.580And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.
01:19:52.200God says he will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
