Trudeau Considers Restricting Distance of Vehicle Travel For Canadian Citizens

“Limit consumption of hydrocarbons by individual Canadians in terms of allowable miles travelled by motor vehicle, train or air.”

During the recent COP26 summit, Justin Trudeau hosted a carbon pricing conference showcasing Canada’s carbon policy. He referred to it as "one of the most stringent and ambitious in the world."

"The climate conference was a veritable who’s who of world leaders, with some 30,000 delegates descending onto Glasgow for the conference."

In terms of a domestic carbon program, no emission reduction mandates had thus far been established beyond an agreement between Alberta and Ottawa to limit output at 100 megatonnes per year. Canada emits roughly 730 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent annually. The Trudeau government has now mandated a specific 100-megatonne reduction for our oil and gas sector by the year 2030. 

This in itself is not a surprise. What should make the ears of Canadians perk up is one of the proposed restrictions to accomplish the goal. Among other current considerations in the Liberal government's proposal, we discover the following:

"Limit personal consumption of hydrocarbons by individual Canadians, in terms of allowable miles travelled by motor vehicle, train or air."

My, my-- Canada is certainly filled with surprises these days. Last week delivered another zinger:

"Deliberately coughing at someone during the COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a criminal assault.”

Applying our math skills, that's two examples of unprecedented forms of draconian social measures in the past two weeks. Not that mainstream media will present it as such. In both cases, the information was ever-so-casually tucked into news articles on a larger theme.

Let us understand the potential what is being proposed. There may come a time when the distance Canadians can travel in their vehicles includes a hard cap on mileage. Not only would this apply to their personal vehicle, but also to the time they spend idly reading a newspaper while riding a bus.

All of which conjures up a collective yawn from legacy media. As a result, they will likely  never juxtapose this "progressive" policy with what Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms has to say about the matter.

6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.

(2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:

1. to move to and take up residence in any province; and

2. to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

What would occur in a case where Charter-based mobility rights were violated by Trudeau's restriction on distance of travel?

A simple question it is. The answer, of course, is nothing at all. Just as it applies to current Charter breaches that result from Covid mandates.

Result: a loss of personal freedom. Predicted extend of exposure from establishment media? Nothing. Witness as Canada continues to morph into a reasonable facsimile of authoritarian nations of the world.

Baby, You Can Drive My Car

As expressed by those idealists of 1960's liberalism, The Beatles. How things have changed. In 2021, the liberal ethos is personified by a potential limit on how far you drive your car down a country road.

"None of these options can be dismissed when Canada now has a federal environment minister that doubtlessly believes that there is infinite value in the elimination of any Canadian carbon emissions."

And who could be more effective at cracking the carbon whip than the person PM Trudeau just appointed as Minister of Environment, Stephan Guilbault? Witness as the globalist arsenal falls into line to reshape the destiny of Canadian society.

As Cultural Action Party said the day Justin Trudeau was appointed prime minister, Canada circa 1867-2015 is over and done with.

CAP expect nothing less than a succession of incremental stones laid in the pathway toward Canada's conversion from democracy to dictatorship.

All in the name of equality among all peoples of the world, of course.
