Why does your mayor want to tell you how many calories you can consume and where those calories should come from?

An initiative called C40 Cities involves mayors of big cities all across the world signing on to a climate scheme to “confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone can thrive.” It touches every aspect of a resident's life, from nutrition, and transportation, to house size.

The tentacles of the green movement are fully entangled in municipal governments, and it shows. Calgary has recently signed on to an $87-billion climate plan. Ottawa's climate plan is more than $60-billion. No one campaigned on these plans, but now voters have to pay for them.

And outside the cities, the government is the sharp end of the spear in the green war on modern agriculture. Trudeau announced this week that nitrogen caps slapped on Dutch farmers, which caused uprisings in the streets, are now coming to Canada. Farmers will have to limit fertilizer use, perhaps cull livestock, and will suffer smaller yields which will drive up the price of food for the consumer while farmers suffer financial losses. It's starvation and economic collapse by design.

Joining me tonight to discuss the green war on cities, cars, farms, and humanity is Michelle Stirling from Friends of Science.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Tom Harris on whether Conservatives are ceding too much to the environmentalist left

Are Conservatives conceding too much territory to the environmentalist left when they adopt their language to discuss climate change?

The city council in the most conservative place in the country, Calgary, under the direction of new progressive mayor Jyoti Gondek, has just adopted a net-zero climate scheme that will cost the next two generations of Calgary residents 87 billion dollars to implement fully. The plan stems from an earlier, non-binding resolution to declare a climate emergency in Cowtown.

Something similar happened on a federal level a few years. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer whipped his caucus to agree to a non-binding motion to support the United Nation's climate change agreement. It was very soon that the targets in that agreement were written into a trade agreement with the EU, CETA. And the vote by the Conservatives to support the Liberal motion has been used by the Liberals as a cudgel against any Conservative that dares to differ on the issue of climate change ever since.

This is why even conceding language, phrases to the left and agreeing to non-binding virtue signalling announcements is a bad idea that leads to worse ones.

My guest tonight recently penned an op-ed in the National Post chiding the Conservatives for adopting Liberal talking points and suggesting that Conservatives must seize the opportunity of their leadership election to reset their communication strategy on climate change.

But will they? Or are they too scared of CBC to do what they know the grassroots want?

Joining me tonight to discuss this issue and the farmer's rebellion in the Netherlands is Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition Canada.

The City of Calgary just passed an $87 billion climate plan. 

The net-zero plan will extend through to 2050 and will set the Calgary taxpayer back $3.1 billion annually.

City councillors voted 9-6 in favour of the scheme. Councillors Sean Chu, Sonya Sharp, Andre Chabot, Richard Pootmans, Jennifer Wyness and Dan McLean were opposed. The strategy mandates that all city vehicles must be zero emissions by 2050, and aims to have all buildings in Calgary with a net-zero standard by the same year.

The burden for Calgary taxpayers will be enormous and it flows directly from the city's so-called climate emergency declaration which was sold as non-binding but is now being used as justification for the crushing green scheme debt.

All this is happening in front of the backdrop of the greatest outdoor show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede. The rodeo brings in politicians angling for votes. The United Conservative leadership contestants were in town, as well as the Conservatives angling to replace Erin O'Toole in the top spot. The Prime Minister was also in town to flip pancakes, and he was, according to the mainstream media but in contrast to reality, "mobbed" by "throngs" of fans.

Cory Morgan from the Western Standard joins me tonight to break down the news from Cow Town and debrief us on the debate/fireside chat with CPC leadership hopefuls hosted by Western Standard earlier in the week.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Roe v. Wade for young conservatives with Kat Krozonouski and Nat Biase

This week the right scored a major win in a culture war most assumed was long ago lost.

Roe v. Wade, the ruling that federalized abortion laws, was overturned by the US Supreme Court in a majority decision. Cue the gnashing of the teeth, the wailing, the moaning, the Handmaid's Tale costumes and the twerking for justice.

If you got all your news from the mainstream media, women like me are going to have our shoes taken away and forcibly impregnated by slack-jawed Christian Talibanic extremists over and over again until we die in childbirth. But that's not the truth. The decision turns the issue of abortion back to states to legislate on, where state lawmakers can be held accountable for their decisions. California and New York will remain abortionist Valhalla, and Texas, Alabama and other red states will chart a different path.

Misleading politicians and their mainstream media and celebrity enablers are working young progressives into a panicked frenzy. It can't be good for them.

How can we help them calm down? Should we even bother? And what can conservative young people do to keep the culture war wins rolling in?

Kat Krozonouski and Nat Biase, the hosts of Miss Understood join me tonight to walk me through it all.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Michelle Stirling on Big Tech's climate 'misinformation' warnings

YouTube and Facebook have been slapping warning labels on the content of climate change skeptics, accusing them of spreading misinformation. But, as they say, the phone call is coming from inside the house.

Friends of Science — an organization comprised of actual scientists, analysts and professional engineers — has been subject to this special tagging of their videos and posts, warning potential viewers and readers that Friends of Science may be guilty of getting the science wrong. The tags direct viewers to United Nations links about the politics of climate change and push people to studies showing an increase in recent temperature data.

However, the pros at Friends of Science, known for digging into data, dug into the data the Big Tech oligarchs have been using to fact-check skeptics and discovered that it was either wrong or specifically labelled not for use to defend climate science.

Michelle Stirling Friends of Science joins me to discuss the organization's 20-year-long fight for open civil discussion and the climate misinformation being spread by Silicon Valley.
