CANADIAN CONVOY APPEALS TO END MANDATES

A few weeks ago we featured an editorial about freedom, governance, and special interests in a democracy. The timing was spot on. A convoy of trucks has now gathered in Canada’s Capital from across the country as an appeal for the federal government to lift mandatory measures to contain Covid that are viewed as no longer necessary, and impeding their industry. The protest is setting a Guiness record as the longest convoy on record at 7.5km and comprised of some 50,000 truckers – many from sympathetic US neighbours. The protest has garnering $10M in financial donations and sympathy from citizens who see food security at risk.

The gathering poses a threat to close down the Capital for as long as the protest lasts; some truckers say their food supply will last a month. Can the organizers keep the protest focused and check attempts to co-op the protest’s purpose?  Will the media give the gathering a fair hearing or focus instead on fringe extremes? How should Government respond?

“Protesting” will be the subject of our webinar on February 3rd, and is sure to trigger discussion of how other nations manage protesting in the world where the internet and social media can mobilize and inform/misinform in an instant.

THE CONVENIENT TRUTH – Webinar February 10th – SAVE THE DATE

How to address climate change is a story that just won’t go away. It emerged with the revelations of An Inconvenient Truth.  The subsequent revelations of climate change and associated protests have viewed climate change as an existential threat calling for quick action to terminate the usage of fossil fuels for energy.  Oh, if it were only so easy.

Regardless, the protests are becoming more sober – more of a dialogue. The forces and sources of change are shifting from sheer panic to a focus on the rate of change, the pace of change, and how to best TRANSITION recognizing the consequences – the costs in particular, of going too fast, and that mankind’s demand for energy is immediate and growing and that alternatives are few, costly, and unlikely to meet short term objectives including nuclear. Of particular relevance for Canada is it’s unique position with it’s super-energy economy in being able to help, if only it wasn’t so virtuous and got on with the merit of helping others in their transition.

On February 10th, we will be featuring a webinar on The Convenient Truth featuring Ron Murch interviewing Yogi Schulz as per below.
