In 1983, Vancouver declared itself to be a nuclear weapons free zone.
City council voted on this, and passed into law.
And it worked! It's been over 30 years and sure enough, nuclear weapons have never been used in Vancouver...
Today, let me announce to the world the next target of the city of Vancouver’s aldermen:
Vancouver City Council voted unanimously Wednesday night to declare a climate emergency.
Now that the motion has passed, city staff will come up with new ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set new climate change targets.
It's true: The people who ended the Cold War now want to end the Hot War, or whatever they think is going on with the weather.
(Which is weird, because Vancouver’s weather is pretty mild compared to the rest of the country. If you can stand the rain, it’s great.)
I don’t feel like there's a climate emergency. Because no-one in the world is acting like it’s an emergency — and by that, I mean the people who claim it’s an emergency. They still jet around — in fact, the UN’s global warming conferences are always in exotic locales around the world, with tens of thousands of important people coming to them by jet. As opposed to just talking, say, over Skype or online.
Vancouver City Council blames this climate emergency in part on "record-setting wildfires." But 29 huge fires in B.C. in the past four years were caused by criminal arsonists, not "global warming."
They also claim we’re about to be swallowed up by the sea. I don’t think Vancouverites believe that, because if they did, those expensive houses right on the waterfront, including David Suzuki’s preferred property, wouldn’t be the most expensive in the city.
But here's the key section, where it is resolved:
THAT Council direct staff to establish a “Climate and Equity” working group to provide guidance and support for the City’s efforts to transition off of fossil fuels in ways the priorities those most vulnerable to climate impacts and most in need of support in transitioning to renewable energy.
So it’s not really about controlling the weather. It’s about controlling people. Or “climate equity”. Which means changing how we live — changing the law, changing spending — using the climate emergency as the excuse.
Hey, here’s a helpful suggestion. It’s from Trudeau’s state broadcaster, the CBC, two weeks ago:
Vancouver home's $2,000 cat door built as part of package to fight climate change
West Vancouver residence showcases technology that will soon be part of Canada's building code
Spend four million dollars on an eco-friendly home. Spend $2,000 on a global warming friendly cat door.
I mean, once you save the world from the Soviet Union, saving people from the wrath of the sun itself is the obvious next step of crazy...
NEXT: David Menzies joins me to talk about the latest absurd example of political correctness destroying stand up comedy.
FINALLY: Your messages to me!
Sea level rise. The City of Vancouver estimates it’ll cost $1B by the year 2100 for flood management due to sea level rise. This is provable nonsense. All they need do is check the Vancouver tidal gauge data which has records going back nearly a 100 years. NOAA keeps track of it along with every other tidal gauge on the planet. See here:
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=822-071
For Vancouver, the rise is less than 2 inches per 100 years. And it’s a steady linear rise, with no sign of acceleration. At that rate, a 1 foot rise would take more than 600 years. Some “emergency”!
All that hydro electricity hurts the Salmon. Big issue amongst eco radicals.
Hey, Vancouver, the minute that “renewable energy” sources
are truly efficient, greenies will vilify them as the bird and bat KILLERS that they are.
BC is nearly entirely powered by hydroelectricity, and the bit of fossil power they do use will dieappear once Site C opens. (yes, a bit of damage from that, but not any worse than digging up coal).
Then, perhaps they would see what frauds David Suzuki, Al Gore, Maurice Strong and Micheal “the hockey stick” man really are.
These bozos have perpetrated a fraud on all of humanity simply to line their pockets and those of the filthy rich that control every aspect of the world economy from manufacturing to war.
Meanwhile, millions are suffering since they have no food, heat or light because we cannot burn fossil fuels.
What a load of BS!
- The left hate comedy, they want it eliminated. They hate joy & love, it offends them. Carbon is the building block of life, they consider it to be a poison or pollutant. This is the mindset of today’s left.
If I learn more about BC, I’m going to go crazy too.
I assume as much for all of Canada.
This will hurt. It will not be over quickly. BC needs a lot of help.
I’m gonna explode here.
I swear to God, I hope the correspondent to BC if there is one is cool.
I can’t handle it otherwise!
Good Luck Rebel!
Open the door to BC!
And let’s not forget that Vancouver is the city that thought taking the people’s money and buying the city’s upper management Toyota Prius’s was a great idea . . .. . until it was noted that most of these four wheeled virtue signals were being driven around on their gasoline engines.
Canada’s ‘left coast’. It must be the mountain air that makes them loopy.

Says one who obviously does not have arthritis in the joints in the hand. I hope you never do.
It is no more difficult to turn a door knob than push down on a stupid lever. Arthritic or no. Give me a break. I replaced all levers with door knobs.
I replaced my door knobs with handles all by myself. I did not even wait for a government mandate nor did I use a government grant. I just up and bought new door handles and swapped out the old door knobs. It is actually quite simple. They sell them at what is called “home centres”. At least here in Manitoba they do.
In BC you may need to take a government approved course and buy permits and get approval from city council and perhaps only use lock-sets that are certified organic.
If you folks in Vancouver find this difficult I can come and do it for you for a small fee- say $400 per door. The question is, “How did the fool and his money get together in the first place?”.
Zuzana, if only we could transfer your experience with authoritarian government oppression onto the entitled snowflakes which comprise a large portion of Canada’s voting population. The Children of the parents who experienced the death camps etc. didn’t want to swamp their kids with their sorrow (Polish kids in my neighbourhood got more of the reality passed down to them than I did) But I grew up with the sorrow in the background always.
The children born from my generation (millennial’s) were more or less spared. There is no reference for them. It should have been a part of their formative education but we spared them thinking we were home free/ Big mistake. Freedom and liberty must be protected by every generation. Those who come before must pass that important reality down to the next generation. It is something that has been sorely neglected in the west. The war never ended, it was only waiting. The time is ripe now and we are all in big trouble because we did not prepare our children in the west.
-———————I agree that there is a lot going on in BC and a Rebel reporter keeping ‘lotus land’ on its toes these days would be a good idea. I hope we see that again soon.
Sure be clean and a good citizen but this is ridiculous.
Sliding doors too.
Rich seniors in Vancouver have key pads I believe.
😄 Enough with the crazy! The whole country knows now.
I don’t believe that was a polite comment. True or otherwise.
I believe in the chartered freedoms and what constitues as a privilidge within a group or company otherwise.
But I’ll see you in the gulag and save you half my boiled grass. I’m on a diet.
All I know is since the viet cong operated out of that area and there are still plenty of explosives about, the area is tied to communism.
Given what I just read on Wikipedia… I know that’s a questionable source, women recieve equal pay for equal work since the early part of last century.

I don’t know why she may be preaching to the choir.
Council’s flawed thinking for banning doorknobs was it is easier for a Senior to pull down a door handle than turn a door knob. What they didn’t think of was the Senior has to put the key in the small hole to unlock the door.
In conclusion if they can unlock the door, they can turn the knob.
