Movement to keep fossil fuels in the ground gaining momentum in Canada and abroad | CBC News:

The movement to keep oil and gas in the ground has reached Canada, as Quebec joined the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance
this week — becoming the first North American member of a new group
being launched at the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow that
wants to phase out the production of oil and gas.

Cutting fossil fuel production also means targeting the emissions
when oil and gas are burned. Canada, like other countries in the Paris
Agreement, is only required to report emissions that come from its
territory.

The emissions numbers for the oil and gas sector only
account for emissions from producing, transporting and processing those
fuels in Canada. The emissions from those fuels when they are actually
burned in cars or power plants abroad don’t count toward Canada’s
totals.

“So
most of the fossil fuels that Canada produces, we export and go
somewhere else, and then they’re consumed and they’re burned. And the
emissions associated with that shows up on another country’s tab,” said
Angela Carter, an associate political science professor at the
University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ont., who researches the fossil fuel
industry.

This has led to a growing call to target the production
and supply of oil and gas, rather than just the emissions. Canada’s
current plan to cut emissions from the oil and gas industry relies on
making companies extract the oil more efficiently.

Canadian intelligence warned PM Trudeau that China covertly funded 2019 election candidates: Sources – National | Globalnews.ca:

Canadian
intelligence officials have warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that
China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of
foreign interference, which includes funding a clandestine network of at
least 11 federal candidates running in the 2019 election, according to
Global News sources.

Delivered
to the prime minister and several cabinet members in a series of
briefings and memos first presented in January, the allegations included
other detailed examples of Beijing’s efforts to further its influence
and, in turn, subvert Canada’s democratic process, sources said.

Based
on recent information from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service
(CSIS), those efforts allegedly involve payments through intermediaries
to candidates affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), placing
agents into the offices of MPs in order to influence policy, seeking to
co-opt and corrupt former Canadian officials to gain leverage in
Ottawa, and mounting aggressive campaigns to punish Canadian politicians
whom the People’s Republic of China (PRC) views as threats to its
interests.
