Action4Canada - Global Attack On Canadian Farmers with Tanya Gaw & Tom Harris Nov. 6, 2024

00:00:00.000 Because the models are generating forecasts based on the idea that this tiny little bit,

00:00:07.100 this man-made CO2 in the bottom of this graph, okay, here's the whole atmosphere.

00:00:11.940 There's the man-made CO2.

00:00:13.780 According to the computer models, that red dot is driving the whole system, okay?

00:00:20.800 Tim Ball said that's like saying when your car breaks down on the road,

00:00:24.540 it's one nut on the rear wheel that you have to check.

00:00:27.780 But it doesn't make any sense at all.

00:00:30.660 Now, besides just intuitively and from a data empirical point of view,

00:00:35.800 there's another way that we know that carbon dioxide is not going to cause a climate emergency.

00:00:41.080 Now, this is a little bit scientific, but it's worth talking about.

00:00:47.460 It's such a pleasure to welcome returning guest Tom Harris to the Empower Hour.

00:00:52.820 Tom has 43 years' experience as a mechanical engineer, project manager.

00:00:58.660 He's a science and technology communications professional and advisor to former opposition environment critic in Canada's Parliament,

00:01:07.280 and he's the executive director of International Climate Science Coalition Canada.

00:01:12.140 For over two decades, he's worked with a team of scientists and engineers to promote a sensible approach to a range of energy and environmental issues.

00:01:23.680 One of the topics Tom will be discussing tonight is how the carbon tax is disproportionately affecting farmers

00:01:30.380 farmers and what you can do to stand up against this crippling carbon deception.

00:01:35.980 Will you all help me welcome Tom Harris?

00:01:39.000 Welcome, Tom.

00:01:39.880 We're so pleased you can join us once again on the Empower Hour.

00:01:43.540 Yeah, it's great to be on.

00:01:44.840 I love speaking to the most active and influential conservative activist group in Canada.

00:01:50.940 You know, there's no question that you folks fill that role.

00:01:53.520 And you demonstrated it here in Ottawa, my hometown, we actually defeated a climate alarmist candidate for mayor who everyone thought would win.

00:02:02.160 And largely thanks to Action for Canada people speaking out, she didn't win.

00:02:08.480 So hopefully we can do the same with the farmers stuff as well.

00:02:12.640 So in today's presentation, I'm going to be talking about what's going on and I'll try and share a screen here.

00:02:18.160 We'll see if it works.

00:02:18.760 Oh, sorry.

00:02:20.440 Well, thank you.

00:02:21.100 Thank you, Heather.

00:02:21.800 Tom, I just wanted to highlight something before you start the show there.

00:02:27.700 Awesome.

00:02:28.100 Well, first, I want to say it's always so good to have you on the show.

00:02:31.980 Your expertise, I mean, you give Action for Canada the kudos as to what happened in Ottawa, but you were absolutely a key part of that.

00:02:42.720 I know the team was so grateful for your advice in how to approach it, practicing the questions and the work that you're going to continue moving forward in partnership with Action for Canada is just so much appreciated.

00:02:58.900 So anyways, on that, I'm going to hand the floor over to you.

00:03:03.580 I'm really looking forward to the presentation because I think that the issue we've been talking a lot about 15 minute cities and climate change, etc.

00:03:12.960 But there's a great concern in nations around the world that they're interfering with our food supply chain.

00:03:22.060 And they're doing that in some very nefarious ways.

00:03:25.320 And you're going to be able to reveal some of that to us tonight.

00:03:28.440 So thank you and over to you.

00:03:30.740 Okay, that's great.

00:03:32.320 So I'll go back to sharing that screen if that's possible.

00:03:35.300 Let's see, share.

00:03:37.160 Choose the right screen here.

00:03:39.640 There we go.

00:03:40.540 Can you see that?

00:03:41.140 Okay.

00:03:41.400 Okay.

00:03:42.960 Yes.

00:03:43.840 Good.

00:03:44.160 Okay, good.

00:03:44.800 Well, there's a war on farming across the world being imposed on us.

00:03:49.320 And a lot of people don't see it, but you're going to see it tonight because it is very serious.

00:03:54.120 It'll lead to food shortages.

00:03:55.840 It'll lead to massive increases in prices.

00:03:58.260 And eventually it'll lead to starvation, especially now that they're restricting food exports from the Netherlands.

00:04:04.840 And believe it or not, after the United States, the Netherlands is the second most, second highest country for food exports in the world.

00:04:14.740 And you cut back on what the Netherlands exports and you're going to have a lot of very hungry Africans because that's where a lot of their food goes to. 0.82

00:04:22.160 So we have to take a step back and say, what's happening in Canada that will affect farmers?

00:04:28.100 Well, the first thing is simply this.

00:04:30.640 Now, let's just change slides here.

00:04:33.760 There we go.

00:04:34.600 Well, reducing carbon pollution.

00:04:37.260 Okay.

00:04:37.540 Now, this is 1984 talk.

00:04:39.620 Climate change.

00:04:40.620 This is what the government says.

00:04:41.880 Climate change has a cost.

00:04:43.460 And putting a price on carbon is one way to reduce pollution to help future generations.

00:04:48.380 And they go on to talk about it.

00:04:49.820 But you folks know better than anybody that carbon dioxide is not pollution.

00:04:55.100 And it's not carbon.

00:04:56.940 Carbon dioxide is essential to plant photosynthesis.

00:05:00.540 You can see bubbles in a can of soda.

00:05:02.720 Is that pollution?

00:05:03.640 You know, it's not, obviously.

00:05:05.300 And at less than 180 parts per million of CO2, life is marginal.

00:05:10.340 Patrick Moore, who was the founder of Greenpeace, is now on our board.

00:05:13.420 He actually realized that Greenpeace wasn't what it started as when he looked around the boardroom table.

00:05:20.180 And he realized that he was the only non-Marxist there.

00:05:24.020 So he actually shows that were it not for us releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere with our burning of fossil fuels and production of cement and other activities,

00:05:34.780 CO2 was headed down to this sort of level, 180 parts per million, and life would start to die.

00:05:41.160 What we see is that because of aerial enrichment, enriching the atmosphere with carbon dioxide, we see more and more plant growth.

00:05:49.820 Okay, so this particular statement from the Canadian government has quite a few mistakes in it.

00:05:55.540 You can see it doesn't really make any sense.

00:05:58.540 Now, the reason they can call it pollution is because of this.

00:06:02.780 Okay, this is something called the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, CEPA, C-E-P-A.

00:06:09.020 It has a list of toxic substances.

00:06:13.040 And believe it or not, when Stephen Harper was opposition leader and Paul Martin was the prime minister,

00:06:19.720 they decided to add carbon dioxide to the list of toxic substances.

00:06:24.660 And you can see it right here, number 74.

00:06:27.620 And it was funny because when you clicked on it, the first thing it said is this substance is not classified as toxic.

00:06:34.860 And Harper would then say, well, then why is it on a list of toxic substances?

00:06:39.340 But it remains managed under the schedule of CEPA in order to enable the government to use a variety of preventative and control actions.

00:06:48.000 Okay, so they did it as a trick.

00:06:49.780 Now, the sad thing is we pushed Stephen Harper, okay, now you're prime minister, now you have a majority government, take it off, CEPA.

00:06:57.380 But he wouldn't do it, which is really sad.

00:06:59.480 So now the Trudeau government has removed that statement saying that it's classified as toxic.

00:07:03.980 And now they just say it's to give the government the power to put in place a variety of preventative and control actions to control CO2 under the same act.

00:07:13.760 Well, I suppose you could put water there.

00:07:15.700 You could put anything you want there.

00:07:17.140 It doesn't even have to be toxic.

00:07:18.740 And just as George Orwell said, among postmodernists, and of course this is all part of the woke ideology, postmodernism underlies it all,

00:07:27.700 getting one's terms publicly adopted is not merely an aspect of ideology, but the very essence of ideological warfare.

00:07:35.760 So I've heard from internal sources within the Conservative Party that they finally succeeded in getting Pierre Polyev to stop calling it carbon pollution.

00:07:45.340 So that's a step forward.

00:07:46.700 But in the meantime, the government is imposing, of course, a, quote, carbon, unquote, tax on all of us.

00:07:53.900 Now, what is the cost?

00:07:55.040 And how is it going to affect farmers?

00:07:56.540 This is really important for all of you to see.

00:07:58.640 I drive a Dodge Grand Caravan, and I like my car.

00:08:03.280 It fits my bicycle in the back.

00:08:05.340 I don't care that it's not that effective.

00:08:07.260 But the carbon tax on a liter of gasoline is now 17.6 liters.

00:08:12.740 So filling my 20-gallon Dodge Grand Caravan will cost me $13.37 in carbon tax.

00:08:18.700 But believe it or not, they actually tax the tax.

00:08:22.640 They put an HSD on top of it, so it's really just over $15.

00:08:26.080 Every time I fill up my Dodge Grand Caravan with gasoline, I pay over $15 in carbon tax.

00:08:34.200 And that, by 2030, will be $32 every time I fill up my tank with, I almost said with CO2.

00:08:42.980 No, I fill up my tank with gasoline.

00:08:45.700 Now, of course, this is going to affect farmers because they have massive machines that run diesel fuel.

00:08:50.860 And we're going to look at diesel in a second.

00:08:52.320 But they also have lots of equipment that uses gasoline.

00:08:55.360 Here's the diesel, okay?

00:08:57.420 Diesel, carbon tax for a liter of diesel fuel is now 21.39 cents, okay?

00:09:03.740 And what it works out to here is that if you look at these trucks that they actually ship cattle

00:09:10.200 and they ship huge amounts of grain in, they're currently paying a 300-gallon fuel capacity, by the way.

00:09:17.200 They're currently paying, with HSD, $329 just in carbon tax plus HSD.

00:09:24.760 And by 2030, they will be spending $700 when they fill up their tank on one of these trucks.

00:09:33.520 $700 every single time.

00:09:35.740 The actual gas costs, or in this case diesel, costs approximately $2,000 because they're big tanks.

00:09:41.820 But imagine $700 every time they fill up the tank to ship us our food.

00:09:48.460 So right away, just to get the food to the marketplace, it's going to be hugely more expensive, and it'll all be passed on to us.

00:09:55.860 Same thing with propane, okay?

00:09:58.940 Here's a propane, a 20-pound barbecue propane tank.

00:10:02.700 You're paying $2.50 roughly with HST every time you fill it up.

00:10:06.960 By 2030, this will be $5.29 every time you fill up your propane tank.

00:10:12.820 Now, natural gas is another one.

00:10:15.100 On average, in Canada, households use about this much on natural gas in a year.

00:10:20.120 At $80 per ton, and you're adding $15.3.

00:10:23.760 Currently, with HST, it's almost $400, okay, in a year that you're paying for carbon tax.

00:10:30.960 By 2030, it'll be $838 in carbon tax for the average home.

00:10:37.040 And, of course, natural gas is used for drying grain, and this is where it really, really impacts the farmers, okay?

00:10:44.220 There's an exemption.

00:10:45.420 If they have a grain dryer actually on site, and how many of them have that?

00:10:50.320 I mean, very few because they're huge.

00:10:52.300 If they have one on site, they're exempt from carbon tax.

00:10:55.600 But if they do the grain drying off-site, they have to pay the natural gas carbon tax.

00:11:01.260 And it's estimated to be $46 per acre.

00:11:04.480 Now, some of these farms are 1,000 acres, okay, the 1,000 acres.

00:11:08.420 So they're paying $46,000 for one wheat crop to be dried off-site.

00:11:15.140 And it's going up to, as you can see in the second part of this, $160 per acre.

00:11:20.040 So that would be $160,000 for one of those farms to dry their grain for one crop.

00:11:26.560 So you can see what's happening is very quickly, farming is not going to be a very profitable business.

00:11:33.020 You know, it's going to drive a lot of the independent farmers completely out of business.

00:11:37.560 And, you know, the government will just, I guess, import food or keep us hungry.

00:11:42.760 But the prices will be much higher.

00:11:45.360 Now, if you want to say, okay, well, why are they doing it?

00:11:48.260 Here's why, okay?

00:11:50.020 In Budget 2024, Finance Canada projected that the price on carbon, okay, will rise from,

00:11:56.600 can't read it here because I'm blocking off my own screen with the video.

00:12:00.260 I'll just move it down a little bit, okay?

00:12:02.640 Okay, it'll be $10.4 billion in 2023 to 2024.

00:12:08.420 It'll rise to $20.7 billion by 28-29.

00:12:12.600 And so that would place the total proceeds at over $80 billion.

00:12:17.480 So you're not going to see Trudeau stop this anytime soon.

00:12:22.420 $80 billion is a little too much to give away.

00:12:25.760 Now, yes, Asia, okay, what's driving all this? 0.97

00:12:28.280 It doesn't make any sense.

00:12:29.240 Well, the government of Canada says this on their webpage.

00:12:32.940 It's the main cause of human-induced global warming. 0.52

00:12:35.900 And I'll let you read the rest of it while I take a drink.

00:12:42.200 And I'm going to show you that this is simply wrong.

00:12:45.100 It's not true.

00:12:46.100 It's human-induced enhancement of the greenhouse effect that is of concern

00:12:49.980 because ongoing emissions of greenhouse gases have the potential to warm the planet

00:12:54.720 to levels that have never been experienced in the history of human civilization. 0.76

00:12:59.240 Well, this is absolutely ridiculous, okay? 0.81

00:13:01.500 And I'll show you why. 0.92

00:13:02.840 Media, of course, they're fanning the flames constantly.

00:13:05.420 This is Time magazine.

00:13:07.420 I think I may have shown you this before,

00:13:09.580 but this was the thing that brought me over from being a climate alarmist to a climate realist.

00:13:14.280 It was the actual geologic record.

00:13:16.680 Because what you see is average global temperature over the last half billion years and atmospheric CO2.

00:13:24.500 And, oh, my goodness, is there a correlation?

00:13:28.440 No.

00:13:30.000 It's all over the map, okay?

00:13:32.020 And when Tim Patterson showed me this way back in 1999, I was wondering,

00:13:38.200 do other people think the same or is he just an oddball?

00:13:40.940 Now, watch the end of this.

00:13:42.080 It goes down to the lowest levels, one of the lowest levels, at least,

00:13:46.980 in the history of the Earth as far as we can go back.

00:13:49.720 We can go back about a half a billion years.

00:13:51.800 Before that, there weren't seashells, hard shells, seashells.

00:13:55.380 They use these to actually determine temperature, and that's a complicated process.

00:13:59.720 So scientists noticed that, geologically speaking, the Earth is in a CO2 famine.

00:14:05.360 That during ice ages and ice houses, we've had CO2 2,000 parts per million up to 8,000 parts per million.

00:14:13.260 So what the heck?

00:14:14.220 Temperatures have been similar to the present when carbon dioxide was up to 20 times higher than today.

00:14:20.200 So I thought, oh, okay, this doesn't quite match what I'm being told.

00:14:26.040 I wonder what it was like in the past, in human history, for example.

00:14:31.020 Well, the warmest time in human history was around 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.

00:14:36.020 That was the Holocene Optimum.

00:14:38.040 And they named it at a time when people considered warming good.

00:14:42.340 That's why they called it an optimum.

00:14:44.440 Scientifically, it's called a hypsothermal.

00:14:46.020 Now, let's take a look at CO2 and the other main greenhouse gases at that very warm time.

00:14:52.160 Whoops, I'll just go back one slide.

00:14:54.500 Oh, try and go back one slide.

00:14:57.240 There we go.

00:14:58.360 CO2 was 280 parts per million.

00:15:01.000 Now it's 420.

00:15:02.880 Methane was 700 parts per billion.

00:15:05.500 Okay, it's a very trace gas.

00:15:07.000 If CO2's trace, methane and nitrous oxide are super trace.

00:15:11.000 Nitrous oxide, which we'll talk about later, where it comes from and why they want to restrict it

00:15:14.780 and how it's going to impact farmers, only 275.

00:15:18.260 So all of these were much lower when it was naturally warming or much warmer in the past.

00:15:25.060 Okay, so the whole idea that CO2 and these other gases is driving global warming is simply refuted,

00:15:31.960 not only by the geologic history, but also even within the time that we've been around and having civilization.

00:15:39.280 Now, we know that's true.

00:15:41.660 We know that CO2 and temperature was what it was, partly because right now, 100 kilometers north of the current tree line,

00:15:49.960 we see the stump of a tree.

00:15:51.960 And it was radiocarbon dated to about 5,000 years ago.

00:15:55.120 And I'll just go back here.

00:15:56.960 Take a look.

00:15:58.320 See, about 5,000 years ago, that's when it was really warm.

00:16:01.100 And CO2 was very low.

00:16:04.280 And when trees were growing 100 kilometers north of the current tree line,

00:16:07.920 so that's pretty good proof that it really was warmer then.

00:16:11.620 And I always thought this was kind of interesting.

00:16:14.060 Modern warming started more than 300 years ago, okay?

00:16:18.300 It was coming out of the Little Ice Age.

00:16:20.440 And you can see CO2, global emissions of CO2, only started recently.

00:16:24.820 So, anybody who knows anything about history, either geologically or with respect to human history,

00:16:31.160 knows that this is nonsense.

00:16:33.100 And as Mark Twain said, it ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble.

00:16:37.440 It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

00:16:41.240 So, much of what the climate alarmists tell us just ain't so, okay?

00:16:45.360 It just isn't true.

00:16:46.540 And, you know, a good thing to remember whenever you're looking at data is to remember what the axes are, okay?

00:16:53.540 Over here on the left, we see the axes and temperature.

00:16:57.000 And this is the sort of fictitious global average temperature.

00:17:00.300 It really is fictitious, and we can talk about that later.

00:17:03.180 But if you actually plot it on a normal graph, not on a graph where one degree is a huge increment like this,

00:17:10.060 and it shows, oh my goodness, it's warming quickly.

00:17:12.360 If you plot it on the kind of temperature scale that we typically see in our lives,

00:17:17.120 from zero, maybe minus five Fahrenheit, up to, say, just a hundred,

00:17:22.180 this is the existential threat that is threatening human society.

00:17:27.840 If you put it on a graph that we're used to seeing temperatures at, you can't see it.

00:17:32.500 In fact, the bottom line is it's so small, 1.2 degrees in 144 years since 1880,

00:17:38.740 it's so small you wouldn't feel it in your entire lifetime.

00:17:41.620 And that's not surprising, because the models are generating forecasts based on the idea that this tiny little bit,

00:17:50.560 this man-made CO2 in the bottom of this graph, okay, here's the whole atmosphere,

00:17:55.420 there's the man-made CO2.

00:17:57.440 According to the computer models, that red dot is driving the whole system, okay?

00:18:04.260 Tim Ball said that's like saying when your car breaks down on the road,

00:18:07.620 it's one nut on the rear wheel that you have to check.

00:18:11.760 It doesn't make any sense at all.

00:18:14.080 Now, besides just intuitively and from a data empirical point of view,

00:18:19.240 there's another way that we know that carbon dioxide is not going to cause a climate emergency.

00:18:24.620 Now, this is a little bit scientific, but it's worth talking about.

00:18:27.860 There's a scientist at Princeton University called William Happer,

00:18:31.820 and William Happer is like a Nobel Prize-winning type level scientist.

00:18:35.440 Lots of awards, all sorts of things.

00:18:38.060 But what he did is he did a theoretical analysis of how much a doubling in CO2 would cause, okay?

00:18:45.800 The black is current. 0.99

00:18:47.380 Now, by the way, I'll just explain this.

00:18:49.600 This smooth purple line is the amount of energy that's being released to the atmosphere,

00:18:56.460 the top of the atmosphere, for different frequencies, okay?

00:18:59.720 If there was no greenhouse gases, this is the line that shows how much energy is released to space

00:19:06.660 from the top of the atmosphere if there was no greenhouse gases.

00:19:10.680 However, if there were other greenhouse gases but no CO2,

00:19:15.700 the amount of energy released actually reduces, as you can see here.

00:19:19.700 And so that's starting to warm the planet.

00:19:21.480 At today's level, 400 parts per million, we have the black line, okay?

00:19:26.180 So at different frequencies, we have different amounts of energy being trapped in the atmosphere,

00:19:31.720 and you can see definitely that it's a lower amount of energy escaping the space

00:19:36.560 than it is if there was no greenhouse gases.

00:19:38.860 So I'm not saying greenhouse gases don't trap heat.

00:19:41.620 They do.

00:19:43.100 But, and here's the key but, if you double CO2, what would be the effect?

00:19:48.780 Well, the effect would be the red line, okay?

00:19:51.340 Now let's zoom in on that.

00:19:53.840 The red line is doubling CO2.

00:19:56.760 That shows how much energy, get this right,

00:20:00.260 how much less energy escapes the space if you have twice as much CO2 than we do today.

00:20:07.360 So once again, the black line is what we have today.

00:20:10.920 If we double CO2, you can see the change in the outgoing radiation is very, very small.

00:20:18.800 In fact, it's hardly detectable.

00:20:20.340 And a good analogy for this is to think about if you paint the side of a barn red, okay?

00:20:27.340 And this is a farmer analogy, so it fits in well.

00:20:31.480 The first coat of paint really makes the barn pretty red.

00:20:35.140 The second coat of paint makes it a little bit more red.

00:20:38.340 When you make more coats of paint, it doesn't make much difference to the temperature of the barn,

00:20:43.240 or sorry, the color of the barn, because the barn is saturated from a redness point of view.

00:20:49.400 It's not going to get any more red when you put on more coats of red paint.

00:20:53.320 It does increase the weather and capability.

00:20:55.780 Of course, it makes it more robust, but it doesn't change the redness of the barn.

00:21:00.300 And the same thing is happening here.

00:21:02.340 The atmosphere, not just with respect to CO2, but with respect to methane and nitrous oxide as well,

00:21:08.040 and I'll show you those in a second.

00:21:09.200 The atmosphere is pretty well saturated for these gases.

00:21:13.780 So the amount of warming that they can make, that they theoretically can produce,

00:21:18.600 even if you double CO2, the amount of extra warming is very small.

00:21:23.300 And as you can see, there's a big change when you go from zero CO2,

00:21:27.620 you know, all the way down to here.

00:21:29.800 Actually, it's from the green all the way to there.

00:21:31.560 There's a big change.

00:21:32.760 That's the first coat of paint.

00:21:34.780 But the second coat of paint, third, fourth, fifth coat, which is down here, doubling of CO2,

00:21:40.940 there's almost no change.

00:21:42.660 So we've got three pieces of evidence.

00:21:44.560 We have common sense, which looks at that chart,

00:21:48.560 which showed CO2 as one tiny dot coming from humans.

00:21:52.140 It's sort of say, how is that going to drive the whole atmosphere?

00:21:54.400 You have observational evidence through history that CO2 doesn't drive it.

00:22:00.020 And now we have theoretical evidence as well.

00:22:02.420 So we know for a fact we can double CO2.

00:22:05.520 And the only thing that will happen is we'll have greater crop productivity and more yield.

00:22:10.640 Okay.

00:22:11.060 But really virtually no temperature rise.

00:22:14.120 And that's not too surprising because this little ball of gas is actually the main driver of climate change.

00:22:21.540 However, the computer models assume that CO2 is the driver of climate change.

00:22:28.180 So they produce all this spaghetti of forecasts.

00:22:31.640 Okay.

00:22:31.900 And the red line is the average of all the computer models,

00:22:35.920 which take it as a given that carbon dioxide is the driver of climate change.

00:22:42.020 But it doesn't work because the green is what we're actually seeing.

00:22:46.080 Okay.

00:22:46.440 So if we doubled CO2, the most we're going to see is perhaps a one degree change over the next century.

00:22:53.020 And that will be highly beneficial for humanity and for nature.

00:22:58.200 But it's magical thinking.

00:23:00.620 We're going to use these models that don't work.

00:23:03.280 And we're going to base billion dollar climate decisions on things that just don't happen.

00:23:09.000 Coal, gas, and oil, you can see their increase was far, far later than what Glacier started to shorten.

00:23:15.660 And the good news, of course, is that global deaths from natural disasters are way, way down.

00:23:21.940 Now, there's a few reasons for that, not just the fact that we're having less extreme weather.

00:23:27.720 And I've showed you that in previous presentations, despite what the media tell you.

00:23:31.680 But also, of course, we have better early warning.

00:23:35.220 And here's a quote that I love.

00:23:37.080 When all men, and this was done in the 1930s, when all men think alike, no one thinks very much.

00:23:42.800 So CO2 is not a problem.

00:23:44.440 The carbon tax is useless.

00:23:46.380 It's going to cost everybody a fortune.

00:23:48.980 Imagine $700 every time they fill up a tractor trailer truck to bring us our food.

00:23:54.700 I mean, that's insane.

00:23:56.240 Now, the other thing I wanted to talk about was nitrous oxide.

00:24:00.720 You see, when they spray artificial fertilizer on crops, some of it doesn't go into the plant.

00:24:06.740 It actually runs off into the ground, into the groundwater, nearby soil, etc.

00:24:11.260 And it reacts with the microbes, and it releases something called nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.

00:24:17.000 Nitrous oxide is what you breathe in laughing gas for the dentist.

00:24:20.720 And the theory is that this nitrous oxide that's released from agriculture will cause dangerous global warming.

00:24:27.860 Well, we'll put that to rest in a minute.

00:24:30.120 But it's worth talking about what the targets are here.

00:24:33.060 And I'll just shift up my screen here so that I can read my own type.

00:24:37.100 Now, you have to realize that the fact that there's been an increase in emissions and an increase in fertilizer does not indicate that we're inefficient.

00:24:58.760 It's because we have greater productivity.

00:25:01.700 And, you know, it is interesting that Ontario, which is where I live and across Canada in general, we use fertilizer very efficiently.

00:25:10.340 And the reason is obvious is because it's very expensive.

00:25:13.380 Across the world, only about 40% of the fertilizer put down actually is absorbed by plants.

00:25:19.500 In Ontario, it's 60%.

00:25:21.200 And I believe it's probably the same across Canada.

00:25:24.180 Now, what is it that they want to do?

00:25:26.620 Okay, they want to reduce fertilizer use, essentially.

00:25:30.600 Now, because they're so efficient at this point, reducing emissions from fertilizer use really means reducing fertilizer.

00:25:39.000 And Fertilizer Canada did an interesting study.

00:25:41.460 And here's what they found.

00:25:42.680 A 20% reduction, and remember, the actual target for the government is 30%.

00:25:47.720 But a 20% reduction would affect food production and farm incomes like this.

00:25:52.560 Lost canola corn and spring wheat production, they'd lose $10.4 billion.

00:25:59.040 Cumulative loss over the period 2023-2030 would be $40.5 billion.

00:26:04.420 And assuming all the rest were sold in Canada, here's a big killer for anybody who gets food from Canada.

00:26:10.500 Canadian exports of canola, we make a lot of canola, would decline from more than 10 million tons today to 750,000 tons per year by 2030.

00:26:25.020 And I just direct people to the homepage of ICSC Canada.

00:26:29.620 There's an interesting paper written by our economics expert, Robert Lyman, called Less Food on Your Fork.

00:26:35.460 Friends of Science, actually.

00:26:36.640 I think you've had them on, Tanya, with Michelle Sterling.

00:26:40.540 They're a wonderful group out of Calgary.

00:26:42.600 They actually put out really good papers with Robert Lyman, and we put one of them, with their permission, of course, on our homepage.

00:26:48.720 And you can take a look.

00:26:49.580 But the government tells us the restrictions are voluntary, okay?

00:26:56.140 Well, it's interesting because True North was able to get, through independent access to information,

00:27:01.980 that government officials are saying they'll consider the use of mandatory regulations as policy options if the voluntary doesn't work.

00:27:10.780 So it's coming.

00:27:12.360 Now, let's take a look at what would be the impact of a doubling of nitrous oxide, okay?

00:27:18.220 Because this is what they say is so radically dangerous.

00:27:21.860 Okay, F equals 1 means today.

00:27:24.120 That's how much energy is released to space with today's concentration of nitrous oxide.

00:27:29.820 F equals 2 is if you double nitrous oxide.

00:27:33.740 And you can see only in a couple of places in the spectrum is there any change in the energy released to space.

00:27:40.080 And, of course, the less energy that's released to space, the warmer the Earth would be.

00:27:44.260 And so you can see it's very, very slightly warmer.

00:27:48.220 If you double methane.

00:27:50.040 But it's so, so tiny, you just simply aren't going to have any effect.

00:27:54.740 I mean, really.

00:27:55.860 And take a look.

00:27:56.800 This is why.

00:27:57.720 This is sort of obvious.

00:27:59.620 Atmospheric levels of nitrogen oxide have been increasing at this amount.

00:28:04.620 0.00085 parts per million per year.

00:28:08.220 As a result, the warming of nitrous oxide amounts to be about 0.000.

00:28:14.560 My goodness, it's not even...

00:28:15.700 It's negligible, okay?

00:28:17.860 I mean, the bottom line is, negligible as it is, the government wants us to restrict fertilizers.

00:28:23.540 Now, you have to realize that half of the people in the world get their food as a result of inorganic fertilizers.

00:28:31.860 So the net result of actually a massive reduction in fertilizers is massive starvation.

00:28:40.580 And Bob Lyman actually points this out.

00:28:42.860 I mean, he says,

00:28:43.420 Big, big mistake.

00:28:51.700 Big mistake.

00:28:52.300 We'll talk about it in a second.

00:28:53.240 As they're seeking to accommodate the government's agenda in the hopes of moderating it or reducing its costs.

00:29:00.860 I would argue that this is a fundamental flaw.

00:29:03.740 In my view, farmers' organizations have failed adequately to consider the context of the Trudeau government's demonstrated approach to climate policy.

00:29:12.400 The approach is one based on single-minded adherence, okay?

00:29:17.000 Regardless of the cost, they want to bring it down.

00:29:19.640 The target of reducing it to 30% below, uh-oh, it's simply an interim one, okay?

00:29:26.860 The ultimate goal, endlessly repeated, is to eliminate all greenhouse gases and therefore to eliminate all hydrocarbon-based fertilizers, no later than 2050.

00:29:37.940 And I should point out that ammonia, which is the main thing, it's, let's see, NH3, that's the main ingredient of fertilizers.

00:29:47.420 It's produced with natural gas through a process called the Haber-Bosch process.

00:29:52.380 And so you get rid of anything to do with fossil fuels, you get rid of all this ammonia fertilizer.

00:29:57.680 It's deadly.

00:29:58.340 And, you know, it's interesting because I've asked people often, what do they think is the most important invention of the 20th century?

00:30:06.400 And some people will say computers or spacecraft or whatever.

00:30:10.600 No.

00:30:11.220 The most important invention is the Haber-Bosch process to produce artificial fertilizers.

00:30:17.200 Because half of the world's population, 4 billion people, rely on it to live.

00:30:24.500 Haber-Bosch process, making artificial fertilizers, ammonia specifically, is the most important invention of the 20th century.

00:30:33.340 Now, we have to ask, if that's their target to actually go to zero in artificial fertilizers, has it ever been done?

00:30:43.200 Well, yes, they tried to do it in Sri Lanka.

00:30:48.660 And, in fact, Sri Lanka was the poster child for the World Economic Forum, okay?

00:30:53.300 They said, oh, my God, we're going to get rid of the use of all artificial fertilizers.

00:30:57.520 The result was halving of the production of wheat and an 80% increase in the price of rice.

00:31:03.820 And here's the result.

00:31:05.460 The country went berserk.

00:31:07.480 They chased the president out of the country.

00:31:09.720 He ran out of the country.

00:31:10.760 He left the presidential palace and left the country to save his own life, okay?

00:31:15.520 They had a massive economic crisis that was brought on by the no organic fertilizers policy.

00:31:22.260 So, Bob Lyman, he says this.

00:31:24.280 Look, that is the government's objective.

00:31:27.320 They want to get rid of all of the inorganic fertilizers.

00:31:30.560 And he says this in the report, and I encourage you to read it.

00:31:34.040 Accommodation, even if successful, will only buy time.

00:31:37.420 And even then, not much of that.

00:31:39.820 Any farmer contemplating the idea of spending millions of dollars to meet the 2030 target would be foolish to not consider what happens next.

00:31:49.860 And, you know, even people within the UNIPCC are starting to say things like this.

00:31:56.760 One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy.

00:32:02.700 This has almost nothing to do with the environment anymore.

00:32:05.400 So, it's about control.

00:32:07.140 It really is.

00:32:07.860 It's about us making us dependent on the government.

00:32:11.040 Now, you might ask, and what is driving this?

00:32:15.000 And, by the way, I didn't show the graphs of methane, which is CH4, but they essentially show exactly the same thing.

00:32:22.480 That you can double methane, and it has very little impact.

00:32:27.480 And you kind of know that's true, because in these periods in the past when it was much warmer in the Arctic than it is now, we didn't see a sudden runaway greenhouse effect to disaster, to catastrophe that they're forecasting.

00:32:41.220 So, once again, you say, well, what happened in the past when methane was much higher?

00:32:45.880 Well, we didn't have a climate catastrophe.

00:32:48.000 It didn't become like Venus.

00:32:49.960 Okay?

00:32:50.300 It didn't happen.

00:32:52.180 And we say, well, then what's driving it?

00:32:54.440 Well, this is what's driving many of the things that you people actually work on.

00:32:59.580 It's called the Transnational Progressive Movement.

00:33:02.300 And if it's okay with you, Tanya, I'd like to take five minutes to talk about this.

00:33:06.260 Okay.

00:33:07.620 Great.

00:33:08.100 Well, it's various groups.

00:33:10.100 And you folks know all about the World Economic Forum on the upper right here, the Club of Rome, the Open Society from George Soros.

00:33:18.520 The UN is doing this.

00:33:20.140 Knowledge purveyors, those are people in universities that are essentially Marxists.

00:33:24.640 And, of course, the NGOs and the activists, they're the stormtroopers, okay, the browntroopers.

00:33:30.040 And, strangely enough, more and more, it's business corporations.

00:33:34.340 Now, Dr. Tammy Nemeth, who's an historian from the United Kingdom, she has written two very excellent papers.

00:33:41.300 If you search her out on the Internet, you can find this paper, Dr. Tammy Nemeth.

00:33:45.900 It's worth writing down.

00:33:47.180 Because, as I said, this applies to all the causes, I think, that you're working on.

00:33:51.980 The gender issues, you know, all kinds of issues are being driven by this huge movement.

00:34:00.460 So we're going to talk a little bit about it.

00:34:01.920 There is a transnational global movement to facilitate a fundamental paradigm shift, a great transformation, which they now call the Great Reset, to a new energy economy that will halt fossil fuel use and development, initially in the Western world, in order to create a new global low-carbon net-zero civilization.

00:34:21.960 It's about transforming the world and creating, this is direct quotes from Dr. Nemeth, creating a new civilization that is not based on fossil fuels.

00:34:29.800 And she goes on to describe it, it's rooted in progressivism.

00:34:33.720 Now, we've got to define that, okay, because it's not progressive.

00:34:37.460 In order to get a critical mass of public support to fundamentally transform Western industrial economies and societies.

00:34:45.180 And here is what she talks about when she describes progressive.

00:34:49.360 Progressive today means using democracy and capitalism to progressively, gradually move people in society towards a type of socialism and a global collective that will replace modern industrial capitalist society with a managed, managed by who?

00:35:05.840 By technocrats unelected in the world economic forum and other groups and interactions through technology under the species of saving the earth from alleged human-caused climate change.

00:35:17.620 Some would call progressivism a form of socialism that intends to progress towards a communist-type societal organization.

00:35:26.840 Now, here's her conclusion.

00:35:29.840 Transnational progressive movement is unified in the ultimate goal.

00:35:33.920 To overthrow and replace the capitalist modern industrial democratic system everywhere.

00:35:39.400 And to overthrow our modern way of life.

00:35:43.040 Now, this is actually very scary because, as she points out, modern industrial capitalism is the target to be replaced.

00:35:50.240 Okay, and they want to do it by having inequality across the world, not by boosting us, but by lowering us to the rest of the world.

00:35:57.600 And she says, one might think of this as a global suicide pact, or as Rex Murphy put it, a doomsday cult.

00:36:04.640 This is about the destruction of the modern way of life.

00:36:08.320 And she makes the point that they are trying to destroy a society that in the history of mankind has lifted more people out of poverty and illness and increased life expectancy more than ever before.

00:36:19.880 This kind of a graph is very rarely shown by mainstream media.

00:36:25.500 Okay, as CO2 emissions have increased with our use of fossil fuels, it has pulled us out of poverty.

00:36:31.680 Look at this, GDP per person across the world.

00:36:34.120 Life expectancy, population has boomed.

00:36:36.980 People say there's too many people on Earth.

00:36:38.720 Well, no, we're doing great.

00:36:40.960 Okay, but if we get rid of inorganic fertilizers, yeah, there's twice as many people as we should have.

00:36:47.200 Okay, now you have to say, well, how are we going to fight back against this?

00:36:52.220 I'll just give a few ideas because much of it is what you folks do ordinarily anyways.

00:36:57.280 Joseph Benamy, who's our economics advisor and policy analyst, he says, one of the greatest ways to change policy is to scare the bejeebers out of politicians at public meeting. 0.99

00:37:10.060 You go to the public meeting, you go to the mic, one after the other, after the other, you organize the way we did here in Ottawa, and those politicians will think, oh my God, I'm not going to support that policy.

00:37:23.000 So that's the first thing you do.

00:37:24.800 You call into radio talk shows.

00:37:26.840 It's harder for them to edit them to actually cancel you out.

00:37:30.280 You send presentations like this to your MPs, you know, you send it to your counselors and to others, and you say, look, are you trying to starve us?

00:37:39.600 Like, what are you doing putting regulations on artificial fertilizer that keeps farmers in business and feeds us all?

00:37:47.060 So, you know, send these presentations to lots of people.

00:37:49.820 And, of course, do the other things that Action for Canada do.

00:37:52.820 Speak out, tell people, do all sorts of things.

00:37:55.000 Now, just in the last couple of minutes, I want to say a little bit about batteries.

00:37:59.540 If I take five minutes on that, is that okay, Tanya?

00:38:04.280 Oh, I can't hear you.

00:38:09.900 Sorry, I was unmuted.

00:38:11.080 There you are.

00:38:11.560 Yes, absolutely.

00:38:12.480 Please do.

00:38:13.500 Okay.

00:38:14.220 Here in Ottawa, they are proposing to put in a 250 megawatt capacity battery energy storage system.

00:38:22.780 And I'm going to show you a picture that gives you some idea of how big that is, because this is incredible.

00:38:28.640 It will be one of the biggest in the world.

00:38:30.640 Okay.

00:38:31.320 The cost is $650 million.

00:38:34.260 Okay.

00:38:34.560 And they want to put it just west of Ottawa.

00:38:36.500 And, of course, they want to put these all across Canada.

00:38:38.840 And the reason they want to do it is pretty straightforward.

00:38:41.160 If they're going to power the country on wind and solar power, they're going to have to have backup.

00:38:45.660 But the problem is, 250 megawatts of capacity and 1,000 megawatt hours of total energy storage, if you're pumping the energy out at its capacity, that will only last for four hours.

00:38:58.820 Okay.

00:38:59.280 So you get four hours of power for $650 million.

00:39:04.160 You can calculate that would be, what, 100 times more expensive than regular energy.

00:39:09.000 Now, here's a picture to give you an idea of how environmentally damaging these things are.

00:39:15.000 There's all kinds of reasons.

00:39:16.340 But one of them is simply that they're massive.

00:39:19.180 They're unbelievably massive.

00:39:21.140 Here is a 230 megawatt battery energy storage system.

00:39:25.660 This is it right here.

00:39:27.380 Okay.

00:39:27.680 This is the 230.

00:39:29.340 Remember, the one they want to put near Ottawa is 250.

00:39:32.020 And it's attached to a much bigger solar station.

00:39:36.020 Okay.

00:39:36.160 This is in California.

00:39:37.880 Okay.

00:39:38.200 It has a nameplate.

00:39:39.260 That has 550 megawatts.

00:39:41.360 But the actual battery storage is 230.

00:39:46.560 Now, I'm just going to blow up one little section here so you get some appreciation of how massive this is.

00:39:53.080 Okay.

00:39:53.340 This square I'm going to blow up.

00:39:55.140 Okay.

00:39:55.300 Let's zoom right in.

00:39:56.980 There we go.

00:39:58.080 Okay.

00:39:58.620 These containers are massive.

00:40:00.420 They're like 10 feet tall, 40 feet long, you know, 8 feet wide, something like that.

00:40:05.020 And they want to put in 290 of these.

00:40:09.240 290 in Ottawa.

00:40:11.600 And I don't know if you saw recently, but in the Port of Montreal, one of these containers caught on fire.

00:40:17.180 They had to evacuate the nearby communities.

00:40:19.560 100 people had to leave.

00:40:20.660 You couldn't see across the road.

00:40:22.440 Lots of horrible gases, in particular hydrogen fluoride, things that are heavily toxic, you know,

00:40:29.220 very corrosive, were emitted.

00:40:30.900 That was just one container.

00:40:33.160 And that caused that whole region of Montreal to be, you know, you couldn't see across the street.

00:40:37.880 Literally, one container.

00:40:39.380 Imagine if all of these went up in flames.

00:40:42.720 Okay.

00:40:43.040 I mean, this would be amazing.

00:40:44.820 And, you know, they're saying, as an excuse, that the LFP batteries, which is lithium, iron, F is for ferrous, phosphate, they're saying they're much safer.

00:40:54.660 But the problem is they put out a lot more gas.

00:40:57.800 And in particular, when they burn, they put out something called hydrogen fluoride.

00:41:01.880 Now, I was asked at a recent presentation, where does the fluorine come from?

00:41:05.940 If it's lithium, iron, phosphate, how are you getting fluorine gas?

00:41:10.720 Well, here's how.

00:41:12.300 The electrolyte in those batteries, the LFP batteries, is typically, let's see if I can get this right, lithium hexafluorophosphate.

00:41:23.900 That's what it is.

00:41:27.280 And that's where it comes from.

00:41:28.500 And what happens is when they go into thermal runaway, which happens when the temperature gets high enough that other cells nearby start catching and igniting as well.

00:41:37.360 When it goes into thermal runaway, the electrolyte breaks down, and it emits hydrogen fluoride.

00:41:43.880 And here's what a thermal runaway looks like.

00:41:46.260 Under normal operation, the heat is dissipated faster than it's generated, so it's safe.

00:41:51.400 However, if you have any of these things happen to your battery, if it overheats, if it is crushed, you know, you get a forklift run into it, for example, with penetration.

00:42:00.120 If it's overcharged, if there's an internal short, an external short, or if the electrolyte leaks, you end up with heat generation.

00:42:08.400 And it generates heat at such a rate that it can't dissipate it fast enough.

00:42:13.500 So the temperature rises, and then the reaction rate in the battery, which is a chemical reaction, of course, it increases, and it generates more heat.

00:42:22.300 And it goes around and around, and you get a thermal energy runaway, and you can see what happens over time.

00:42:27.500 It spreads from one battery cell to others until eventually the whole thing erupts into a massive battery fire.

00:42:35.200 Now, you've probably seen on the Internet battery fires from these piddly little batteries they have in bicycles.

00:42:41.320 Okay?

00:42:41.700 We've seen complete apartments enveloped in flames and smoke and everything else.

00:42:46.080 But what we're talking about here is 290 of these massive containers.

00:42:52.800 Okay?

00:42:53.100 So this is a huge risk.

00:42:55.820 The likelihood of a thermal runaway appears to be fairly low in the case of LFP batteries.

00:43:01.660 But if it happens, oh, my God, you've got hydrogen fluoride, super poisonous, super toxic, super corrosive being emitted.

00:43:10.040 And in the case of the battery energy storage system that I was talking about, the 250 megawatt one, it is upwind from Ottawa.

00:43:18.640 So we'd have hydrogen fluoride gas drifting down over the city, almost as bad as like a small nuclear explosion.

00:43:26.320 So we're working with groups to oppose the best systems here in Ottawa.

00:43:30.880 We're going to be speaking to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee about it.

00:43:36.020 And I encourage people to actually work with us because, man, this is only happening because of the climate scare.

00:43:43.620 Because the only reason they want the batteries is to back up these ludicrous wind and solar plants, which are only happening because of the climate scare.

00:43:52.160 So, so much of this originates with the climate scare.

00:43:56.000 But there is no hazard.

00:43:57.880 We can double CO2, double methane, double nitrous oxide, and there's no threat.

00:44:03.420 So, yeah, let's fight against this.

00:44:06.020 That's it.

00:44:14.360 Good stuff.

00:44:15.500 Oh, can you hear me?

00:44:17.240 Yeah, I hear you great.

00:44:18.340 Okay, good.

00:44:19.080 Oh, my goodness, Tom.

00:44:20.660 Some of it was a little over my head.

00:44:22.480 I got to tell you at the beginning there, some of those stats and that information, I'd have to, I'm definitely going to need to watch this again.

00:44:29.680 But the beauty is, is that the reason that we have experts like you coming on the show is so that we can share this information on our 15-minute city page.

00:44:40.700 And then people can become experts on it as well.

00:44:44.100 So they can go in and talk to their elected officials and say, kind of like, I don't want to say, but give your head a shake.

00:44:49.700 Yeah, what are you doing?

00:44:51.260 What are you doing?

00:44:52.060 What are you supporting?

00:44:53.360 Actually, Terenzio, could I share screen for a moment?

00:44:56.840 I like to go in and I'm going to show people where they can find this.

00:45:02.860 So under our current issues, you'll find 15-minute cities, which will bring you to this page.

00:45:08.820 And what I did the other day is, if you scroll down a little bit, I went, put news items in.

00:45:14.580 And what Tom is talking about, the e-bikes catching on fire in the container in Montreal, electric cars down in Florida, actually, they caught on fire when the corrosive materials from salt water got into the batteries.

00:45:28.240 And there was 11 electric cars and 48 lithium batteries caught fire.

00:45:32.920 And this is not something, this is not a regular type of fire that you can just put out.

00:45:37.860 And there was a very serious and fatal car accident in Ontario about a week and a half or two weeks ago, where three of the four people died.

00:45:49.000 But it happened to be an electric vehicle.

00:45:51.580 And yes, you know what, there's gas and fuel as well, but it just burns differently.

00:45:55.820 And it's my understanding that there was a chance that more of those individuals in this car could have been rescued had it not been for the electric batteries and the way that fuel generation, I guess, burns and ignites.

00:46:11.500 And so then if you scroll down a little more, Tom has been writing some very good articles on how to address elected officials.

00:46:22.380 I love the mob, the mic to get up there.

00:46:26.340 And as he said, you've got elected officials and the way the squeaky little wheel of the, whether it's the LGBTQ, as he said, or the globalists or minority immigrants, whoever it is, you know, they just kept pushing and pushing and they get in the faces of elected officials and they push their agenda. 0.95

00:46:47.380 And that's how we got into this mess.

00:46:49.400 And so I just want to remind our viewers, there's way more of us than them.

00:46:53.620 And so we need to get educated and informed, and then we can go up there and mob the mic.

00:47:00.080 We can hold these elected officials to account, like even asking, have you read the report?

00:47:06.320 I mean, that's one where you'll generally have an instant win because the majority of them are not doing their due diligence and reading what it is they're supporting.

00:47:18.060 If you scroll down the page, there are other videos that we've put together here on the C40 cities, the plan to take away and limit, well, to take away meat and agriculture, dairy, sorry, and to limit clothing to three pieces a year, etc.

00:47:33.920 So come down, you'll see here again, our friend Tom Harris has been on the show many times.

00:47:41.080 If you keep scrolling down to the bottom of the page, you'll find many more video resources and calls to action that we've been doing to address this matter.

00:47:50.080 Also, very good examples of what we're doing in Manitoba and other cities across the country, very effectively putting a stop to the agenda moving forward.

00:48:00.500 So as highlights go, a couple of those, I'll be doing this on the weekly news update tonight as well.

00:48:08.340 I don't know if you heard about this, Tom, but Toronto was going to put a ban on the e-bikes and the e-scooters because there's images of them catching on fire on the subways.

00:48:23.940 And it's like, can you imagine being stuck in one of those with the fire igniting?

00:48:30.520 Like I said, these don't burn like, you know, normal fires do.

00:48:34.680 And so rightfully, they were going to do a six-month ban on them.

00:48:37.960 I don't know why seasonal, but either way, it's now been put on pause because the vote will be held off until the board's next meeting to give the TTC's racial equity officers time to determine the impact any potential policy could have on marginalized groups.

00:48:54.260 Yeah, I guess they won't burn if they catch on fire.

00:48:57.740 Yeah, I guess.

00:48:58.560 And I mean, it's like as if they're different.

00:49:01.180 So I just wanted to highlight what you said that was about the electric cars.

00:49:04.540 And just so that we can prove to them, 15,000 kilograms of lithium batteries inside a shipping container caught fire at the Port of Montreal.

00:49:14.740 And that was one shipping container.

00:49:16.680 The one they want to put here is 290 shipping containers.

00:49:19.960 Okay, so I'll stop sharing screen, but I just want to give people direction.

00:49:25.280 Like we are here to help.

00:49:27.100 We need all hands on deck.

00:49:29.240 Tom and Action for Canada are uniting and working together.

00:49:33.300 He's helping to do some of the strategy training with our chapter leaders.

00:49:40.140 So we really encourage you to join us because we are being effective.

00:49:45.600 And you know, one thing, one thing, Kenya, I want to point out, you often find when you go to the microphone early in a session, it's good to get up to the mic early, that people you don't even know in the audience join you.

00:49:57.160 And they say, yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

00:49:59.820 Like, what are we doing?

00:50:01.200 So you suddenly find there's all kinds of allies who otherwise would have stayed quiet that you prompt through your speaking out.

00:50:08.840 Same thing with talk radio.

00:50:10.300 Call in right at the beginning of a talk radio show.

00:50:12.840 There's somebody listening, you know, somewhere else in the city who says, man, that's a good point.

00:50:18.100 I'm calling in.

00:50:19.140 And suddenly you have a chain of events.

00:50:21.320 It's the bandwagon effect.

00:50:22.720 We want the bandwagon effect to work to our advantage.

00:50:25.800 And it definitely will.

00:50:27.820 If you get up and you speak out and call radio, you'll find lots of sensible, ordinary people.

00:50:33.480 You never heard of them before.

00:50:35.060 And they're suddenly supporting you.

00:50:37.740 It's absolutely amazing.

00:50:39.900 And when you are courageous and when you step forward, I always say courage is contagious.

00:50:45.920 And there are so many Canadians that are really stepping up because they're understanding that our window is growing smaller in an opportunity to overturn what the government is doing.

00:51:01.620 And one of the reasons I put those resources on our web page and the articles is so that you can tangibly say this was not independent media.

00:51:13.080 All right.

00:51:13.480 This was mainstream media reporting on what is happening.

00:51:17.160 And whether it's the municipality, the province or the federal government is opening up to liability.

00:51:24.280 And they have to take this seriously.

00:51:27.640 So we even encourage people to write their public safety ministers and really appeal to the municipalities.

00:51:36.140 I mean, it says the low hanging fruit where we really need to shut it down and say, are you prepared?

00:51:41.780 Are you putting money away for liability?

00:51:43.820 Because I don't want this coming out of my tax dollars.

00:51:45.900 So where is the money going to come from for the harm that's going to be caused if you don't actually ban those e-bikes?

00:51:53.460 And can I add something to that?

00:51:55.200 I used to work as the legislative assistant for Bob Mills, who was the opposition senior environment critic in the House of Commons.

00:52:01.960 And what he would often say to me when I tell him about letters from the public, he'd often say, is there any media attached?

00:52:09.680 Is it being covered by the press?

00:52:11.660 And if my answer was no, then he would say, OK, I just put it over there, you know, look at it sometime.

00:52:17.920 Now, here's a trick.

00:52:19.200 When you call in to talk radio, record yourself.

00:52:22.880 Get into the radio station website.

00:52:24.940 Record yourself.

00:52:25.860 Take the take a little audio clip.

00:52:28.320 And then when you send it to an MP, then when you send it to a counselor, say, and I spoke about this on the radio.

00:52:36.220 Here's my clip.

00:52:37.060 And I'll also call into the radio station in a month to tell them what your answer is.

00:52:43.420 Suddenly there is media attached and you call in later and you say, you know, Joe Blow, my MP, has not answered.

00:52:51.380 And here's my concern.

00:52:53.020 Then you send them that audio clip.

00:52:55.660 You get their attention much more so than if you just send a letter and you don't actually have any media attached.

00:53:01.820 And you laugh, Tanya, the first thing all the MPs do in the House of Commons every day is they look at the media clippings because what they do is they actually they used to do it on paper.

00:53:13.220 Now, I guess they do it electronically, but they send around to all the MPs.

00:53:17.440 Here's where you were mentioned in the press.

00:53:20.000 That could be radio.

00:53:21.020 It could be written as well.

00:53:22.540 So you want to generate media to associate with your letter.

00:53:26.780 Similarly, you can write to the newspaper trying to get published.

00:53:30.200 And most of them is hard, but if you write to the National Post or the Sun Media Chain, OK, they will undoubtedly publish you if it's a well-written letter.

00:53:39.220 The Sun Media Chain are interesting.

00:53:40.780 People don't realize it, but the newspaper that has the greatest circulation in Canada is the Toronto Sun.

00:53:47.960 OK, people just laugh at the Sun Chain.

00:53:49.900 But the truth is they have huge circulation.

00:53:53.000 So you get a little letter published in the Toronto Sun and thousands of people are going to see it.

00:53:57.880 And if you can say, and I wrote a letter to my MP, Joe Blow, and I'll tell people what he answers, suddenly there is media attached.

00:54:09.300 So that is one of the keys.

00:54:10.700 You have to attach media.

00:54:11.900 When you go to the microphone in public sessions, get one of your friends to videotape you.

00:54:16.820 OK, put it up on YouTube afterwards.

00:54:18.760 Here's the question I asked.

00:54:19.920 And suddenly hundreds, if not thousands of people are going to see it.

00:54:24.660 So you've got to think, you know, how do I get media?

00:54:27.220 Because that's what they pay attention to.

00:54:28.960 Well, and accountability is an awesome thing, right?

00:54:31.500 And that's something that I think elected officials, well, maybe not Trudeau or Chrystia Freeland,

00:54:37.060 but that they would shudder at the thought of liability.

00:54:39.840 They think they're above the law, but I think they're going to get a rude awakening hopefully someday.

00:54:43.500 But the average politician didn't sign up for this.

00:54:47.060 And it's one of the reasons even why our notice of liability is extremely important.

00:54:52.780 People say, oh, the NOLs, you know, they don't work.

00:54:55.220 And it's like, you don't know in time where those notices are going to end up.

00:54:59.680 And just as an example, with the notices of liability regarding the vaccines,

00:55:04.700 they were served here in British Columbia to our current premier, David Eby and Bonnie Henry, etc.

00:55:11.380 And when we filed our notice of civil claim, they filed their notice of defense.

00:55:16.280 And guess what was included is the notices of liability,

00:55:19.800 which shows that they were completely 100 percent informed on the harms and they have no excuses.

00:55:26.440 I was shocked that they included it as a part of their notice of defense.

00:55:30.200 That's a huge success.

00:55:31.780 Yeah.

00:55:32.000 You know, it's like when your enemy mentions you, you know they're paying attention.

00:55:36.080 I'll just say one other quick thing.

00:55:37.500 You should also compliment the politicians when they do good things.

00:55:41.760 OK, it's interesting because one of my friends was a writer at the Ottawa Citizen and I asked him,

00:55:47.260 I said, why don't you cover both sides of the climate issue?

00:55:49.800 He said, well, when we cover your side, the next day the editor is bombarded with phone calls and emails and everything complaining.

00:55:57.080 Well, we can help offset that by complimenting them, you know.

00:56:02.500 So, I mean, one of the reasons these are people, you know, they're just people like you and me.

00:56:06.940 And if they get 10 compliments and two criticisms, yeah, they say, OK, good, you know.

00:56:13.240 So, yeah, there are times when the politicians do what we want and that's when we should compliment them and broadcast it, publicize it.

00:56:20.040 Right. Yeah, I agree.

00:56:21.860 It's a very good point.

00:56:23.220 Something that I was thinking about while you were talking is, of course, the 5G towers are going up everywhere.

00:56:29.420 And the UN, the WHO had designated that the 4G was a carcinogenic and that certainly the 5G is because it actually penetrates the skin like a toxic chemical.

00:56:44.300 And they're saying it's dangerous.

00:56:46.560 And yet the government is not only not doing anything about that, they are flooding, you know, across Canada.

00:56:55.760 They're putting up all of these towers and paying incentives for municipalities to put up these towers.

00:57:01.620 And people are being very harmed.

00:57:03.640 Children are getting cancer at schools.

00:57:05.580 People are wanting them, you know, torn down or taking that upon themselves.

00:57:08.680 I saw a couple of articles in the U.S.

00:57:11.080 And so it just shows that nothing that the government does is actually in the public's best interest.

00:57:18.040 And you always got to follow the money.

00:57:20.020 Yeah, it's all in their public.

00:57:21.640 It's all in their own vested interest, you know, and you make it.

00:57:26.020 So the key is to make it their vested interest to do what we want.

00:57:30.580 In other words, the pain and consequences of not doing what we want are too great.

00:57:35.800 And we have to make sure that they understand that, you know.

00:57:39.060 And as I say, publicizing it, telling your MP, you know, I was disappointed.

00:57:44.340 I had this sort of idealism viewpoint when I started working in the House of Commons, thinking that letters to the MP mattered.

00:57:53.100 They only mattered if there were thousands or if there was media attack, you know.

00:57:58.920 And sadly, they just won't do anything unless there's some sort of publicity.

00:58:03.480 So you have to think of how am I going to generate publicity for this?

00:58:07.100 So I'm going to actually talk to Terry, for example, in Oshawa.

00:58:10.060 How are we going to generate publicity for the dumb answers that the Durham people gave, the leaders of the Durham region gave?

00:58:17.160 For example, they said when one of the people asked, you know, what about have you consulted Tim Patterson, Ian Clark, you know, Ross McKittrick, who are leading experts at universities in Canada about this before passing your plan?

00:58:31.100 And they said, this is what the Durham Council said.

00:58:34.460 They said, oh, well, those people aren't disputing whether there's a climate emergency.

00:58:37.740 They're just talking about the degree to which there is an emergency.

00:58:42.160 So, you know, obviously a great thing to do is to call in to talk radio and say, that's completely wrong.

00:58:47.620 And then the next time you go to one of their meetings, uh-oh, they know they better be, you know, honest in dealing with you because it's going next to the media.

00:58:56.760 That's the key.

00:58:57.740 I know I'm repeating myself, but.

00:58:59.420 Well, it's important, right?

00:59:01.040 You have to repeat it so many times before people will absorb it.

00:59:04.280 Yeah.

00:59:05.000 What I like is that one of our chapter leaders, they've been going to school board meetings and they ended up creating a poster and they quoted the trustees.

00:59:16.200 And they were like, you know, in other words, there's, there's, it was something along the lines that the freedom, freedom of speech doesn't actually exist, you know, in, in, in a school board.

00:59:27.760 Because in other words, it's up to the trustees to direct the conversation.

00:59:35.080 And so they've, of course, we know that they've shut people down.

00:59:37.940 So here they are being quoted.

00:59:40.440 Flyers are being handed out to the public.

00:59:42.560 And, and so they're not extremely happy with Action for Canada because they're saying you're constantly in disrupting.

00:59:50.140 You know, even the police had been called and it's like, yeah, but the police were on our side.

00:59:54.780 Yeah.

00:59:54.960 So there's so much that it's changing.

00:59:58.240 We're changing the, the conversation in politics and those thousands of letters are being sent.

01:00:04.620 And we're just going to continue to do that work nationwide.

01:00:07.520 Yeah, for sure.

01:00:08.560 So I just want to thank you for coming on the show again tonight.

01:00:11.560 This issue of our food and them wanting to interrupt our food chain is concerning.

01:00:20.420 It's, I want to say diabolical, it's evil, and we've got to put a stop to it.

01:00:25.400 And we need more hands on deck. 0.65

01:00:27.420 So many viewers here that need to join Action for Canada in our chapters and Tom, and we're going to get this.

01:00:33.940 We're not going to stop until this, this job is done.

01:00:36.240 Yeah, and I saw a chat that was saying they'd like to work with me in Edmonton and Calgary, and I'd love to do that.

01:00:42.440 So just get a hold of me.

01:00:43.900 I'm at icsc.tom.harris at gmail.com.

01:00:47.760 And I'd love to work with people in Edmonton and Calgary.

01:00:50.260 I used to live in Cold Lake, actually, when I worked for the military.

01:00:53.360 And believe it or not, Edmonton was the place I went to warm up.

01:00:57.360 Yeah.

01:00:59.240 Yeah, so you know, Cold Lake is cold.

01:01:02.520 Yeah.

01:01:02.880 Anyway, that was great, Tanya.

01:01:04.000 Thank you very much.

01:01:04.880 Yeah, I appreciate it.

01:01:06.080 And we've got a brand new chapter coming in Edmonton.

01:01:09.260 Just an amazing group of people.

01:01:11.960 And as well, Kim, our national chapter leader, coordinator, and Sandra and Renee have been headlining the interactions with the Calgary municipality and doing a really stellar job there.

01:01:25.360 So whatever you can add extra to that is going to be appreciated.

01:01:29.680 So any final word to our viewers before we sign off?

01:01:33.320 Well, no, the fact is that the left took over our institutions by being brave and doing many of the things you're already doing.

01:01:41.320 So I just encourage Action for Canada.

01:01:43.160 You can win.

01:01:44.100 Remember, the left were on the outside when Alinsky wrote his Rules for Radicals.

01:01:48.280 They're now running the show.

01:01:49.840 We're on the outside.

01:01:51.080 We can get back in.

01:01:52.500 Trump demonstrated that yesterday.

01:01:54.400 We're going to do that in Canada.

01:01:56.020 And Action for Canada, as I say, I think you folks are the most effective conservative activist group in Canada.

01:02:02.860 And, you know, I boost you whenever I can.

01:02:05.080 So, yeah, do speak out.

01:02:06.820 We can win.

01:02:08.380 All right.

01:02:08.880 Awesome.

01:02:09.280 The love is mutual.

01:02:10.100 Okay, my friend.

01:02:12.300 Thank you so much.

01:02:13.360 We'll see you again.

01:02:14.720 Bye-bye.

01:02:15.580 Bye.

01:02:18.040 All right.

01:02:18.780 Well, that was an amazing Power Hour with our good friend Tom Harris, who gave another stellar presentation.

01:02:25.280 Next week, we're going to have a movie night.

01:02:28.260 So please make it a fun night.

01:02:30.180 I mean, it's not a fun topic.

01:02:32.000 But I'm saying that, you know what?

01:02:33.540 Have a dinner with friends.

01:02:35.260 Make popcorn.

01:02:36.260 This is not a documentary for children.

01:02:40.560 So make sure that they are not present when you watch this.

01:02:43.880 But this is an incredibly important documentary that Tommy Robinson is, that he recently has launched.

01:02:54.120 He made it three years ago, and it's time.

01:02:55.760 He's just, he's in jail right now.

01:02:58.000 I watched a two-hour live interview with him.

01:03:02.720 And it happened to be on YouTube on Sunday.

01:03:05.100 I don't normally do that, but I took the time.

01:03:07.360 And that YouTube video has been taken down saying that it violates standards.

01:03:11.280 So I will find that interview again was with a fellow named Liam.

01:03:15.720 And it was amazing.

01:03:18.200 Tommy was given it as all.

01:03:20.000 He knew he was going to jail.

01:03:21.700 I believe it was the next day.

01:03:24.060 And the conversations that he was going to have to have with his children.

01:03:28.300 And the interview viewer asked him, like, Tommy, why are you doing this?

01:03:32.580 Like, you've got a family.

01:03:33.580 And he says, because this is so much bigger than just my family.

01:03:38.040 And this is the attitude all men need in the Western world. 0.84

01:03:43.460 This is bigger than you.

01:03:45.720 And the sacrifice that you make for your family, the sacrifice Tommy Robinson is making, is for all of our families.

01:03:53.460 Not only in Britain, but around the world, millions and millions and millions and millions, tens of millions of people are watching on what's happening to Tommy Robinson and his imprisonment in being put in one of the worst prisons when he was assured that he would.

01:04:10.840 Anyways, I'm not going to go in to all of it.

01:04:13.100 I'm going to find that interview.

01:04:15.120 If somebody has it, please email it to me, and I'll include it in the weekly action that's going out on Sunday night so that you can hear in advance what Tommy is sacrificing and what he has done for every citizen around the world and the fight that he's been in for our children and the fight that Action for Canada is in for our children here in Canada.

01:04:38.840 And the reason why we, too, are willing to speak so boldly about this.

01:04:44.720 So anyways, I hope you'll make it a thing and that you'll invite friends.

01:04:49.520 And so just in closing, I'm going to read two scriptures that were relevant to the Empower Hour tonight when we were talking about farming and protecting our food system.

01:05:04.080 So Genesis 1, 29, 30 says, we always go back to the Word of God.

01:05:09.100 What does God have to say about this?

01:05:11.260 And it says,

01:05:11.700 And so what we've got to remember is this emphasizes,

01:05:38.640 this is a Christian nation built on biblical Christian principles, and God is our ruler.

01:05:45.120 He appoints leaders, but when they are tyrannical, we are to put God first.

01:05:50.580 And God says, He gave us the seed and the food to grow.

01:05:55.060 Not Klaus Schwab, not Justin Trudeau, not Bill Gates.

01:05:59.560 Okay, so let's go to the second verse. 0.97

01:06:01.780 It also carries on in Psalm 144, 13 to 15.

01:06:06.400 May our barns be filled with crops of every kind.

01:06:10.380 May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands.

01:06:14.980 And may your own oxen be loaded down with produce.

01:06:18.520 May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares.

01:06:25.980 Yes, joyful are those who live like this.

01:06:29.260 Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.

01:06:32.320 The key is to live like this.

01:06:35.740 We need to surrender Canada to the Lord once again and live by His standards.

01:06:41.620 And our barns will be full.

01:06:43.940 And our worries will be few.

01:06:47.200 And that is my prayer for Canada.

01:06:49.140 That is my prayer for each one of you.

01:06:51.420 So God bless you.

01:06:53.020 God bless Canada.

01:06:54.220 And I'll see you next week.

01:06:55.740 Thank you.

01:06:56.260 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.

01:07:17.560 I'm going to thank our founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much for our freedom.

01:07:33.020 And I'm calling on you today.

01:07:36.140 Don't put them to shame.

01:07:38.500 Don't waste what they did.

01:07:40.360 We have guaranteed rights in this country.

01:07:51.000 We are putting chapters across the nation.

01:07:54.680 We are going to be in every town and every city.

01:07:58.580 And we are going to build communities within these communities of life-minded people

01:08:03.060 who are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other

01:08:06.920 and give each other the help when they're down.

01:08:09.280 We are going to use the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses.

01:08:18.040 The government's actions are completely, 100% unlawful.

01:08:24.280 Judgment will again be found on justice.

01:08:28.500 And those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

01:08:32.600 You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.

01:08:39.280 And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.

01:08:44.880 God says he will turn the sins of evil people back on them.

01:08:50.380 He will destroy them for their sins.

01:08:54.420 I take great comfort in that because I serve a mighty living God who has allowed us to go through this season of discomfort

01:09:07.400 because we as a nation have turned our backs on him and we need to get right.

01:09:14.440 So I am just going to thank you so much.

01:09:18.200 I'm going to say God bless you and God bless Canada.

01:09:22.080 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you put your heart and bless you and your name on your behalf.

01:09:28.080 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and with you and today.

01:09:31.900 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you.

01:09:41.120 Thank you.

01:10:11.120 Thank you.
