(Althoughthe covid pandemic is essentially over, we are keeping this important policyproposal from the 2021 election campaign in our Platform to show how the PPC approach completely differed from that of all the other establishment parties.)

Issue

The Liberal government has spent billions of dollars at home and abroad to fight global warming—or “climate change” as it is now officially called to account for every natural weather event and its opposite.

In order to lower greenhouse gas emissions, it has imposed taxes and countless regulations, it subsidizes inefficient and costly “green technology,” and it has blocked the development of oil and gas resources crucial to our prosperity.

It is an undisputed fact that the world’s climate has always changed and will continue to change. Until twelve thousand years ago, much of Canada was under ice, and it is thanks to natural climate change that we can live here today.

There is however no scientific consensus on the theory that CO2 produced by human activity is causing dangerous global warming today or will in the future, and that the world is facing environmental catastrophes unless these emissions are drastically reduced. Many renowned scientists continue to challenge this theory.

The policy debate about global warming is not grounded on science anymore. It has been hijacked by proponents of big government who are using crude propaganda techniques to impose their views. They publicly ridicule and harass anyone who expresses doubt. They make exaggerated claims to scare people. They even brainwash school children, many of whom now suffer from “eco-anxiety,” and believe the planet is doomed and they have no future.

Facts

Climate change alarmism is based on flawed models that have consistently failed at correctly predicting the future. None of the cataclysmic predictions that have been made about the climate since the 1970s have come true. No new ice age. No steady warming in direct relation with increases in CO2 levels. No disappearance of polar ice caps. No exceptional rise in ocean levels. No abnormal increase in catastrophic weather events. No widespread crop failure and famine.

In fact, CO2 is beneficial for agriculture and there has recently been a measurable “greening” of the world in part thanks to higher levels. Despite what global warming propaganda claims, CO2 is not a pollutant. It is an essential ingredient for life on Earth and needed for plant growth.

According to former Liberal Environment minister Steven Guilbeault, the Trudeau government has deployed about 100 different measures to fight climate change. Although the new Carney government has suspended the collection of the consumer carbon tax, the Liberals are planning to add other taxes, programs and regulations to replace it.

Pierre Poilievre has campaigned for years against the carbon tax, but he confirmed that he is not proposing to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. He has never explained how he would fulfill Canada’s obligations under that agreement to reach our carbon emissions reduction targets, apart from vague promises to promote green technologies and carbon capture. He has also never said that he would repeal the 100 other measures adopted by the Liberal government. The Liberal and Conservative plans on climate change are the same.

It is illogical for the government to pretend to care about CO2 emissions and the environment while planning to bring in millions of immigrants, non-permanent residents and refugees to Canada over the coming years. These people from countries that are poorer than Canada will use more energy, consume more stuff, and need more space for houses built in sprawling cities on land previously used for agriculture or left in a natural state. A larger population inevitably has a larger impact on the environment.

Our Plan

Given the uncertainties over the scientific basis of global warming, and the certainties about the huge costs of measures designed to fight it, there is no compelling reason to jeopardize our prosperity with more government interventions.

A People's Party government will:

  • Withdraw From the Paris Accord

    Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, abandon unrealistic greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and stop sending billions of dollars to developing countries to help them reduce their emissions.
  • Abolish all Climate Change Programs

    Abolish the taxes, regulations, subsidies, and programs adopted by the Liberal government to fight so-called climate change, and instead invest in adaptation strategies to protect Canadians against natural disasters such as floods and forest fires.
  • Promote Solutions for Canada

    Prioritize implementing practical solutions to make Canada’s air, water and soil cleaner, including bringing clean drinking water to remote First Nations communities.
  • Impose a Moratorium on Immigration

    Impose a moratorium on new permanent residents for as many years as necessary until the housing crisis has cooled down, the negative economic impact of mass immigration has been neutralized, and the process of social and cultural disintegration due to mass immigration has been reversed; thereafter, substantially lower the number of permanent residents Canada accepts every year to between 100,000 and 150,000, depending on economic and other circumstances (see policy on Immigration).
