It’s like something out of George Orwell’s 1984. Canada’s Competition Bureau, an arm’s length agency funded by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to the tune of almost $50 million annually, investigated three organizations accused of denying mainstream climate science for over a year, following a complaint from an environmental group. The bureau discontinued its 14-month probe in June, citing “available evidence, the assessment of the facts in this case, and to ensure the effective allocation of limited resources”, according to Josephine A.L. Palumbo, Deputy Commissioner of Competition, Deceptive Marketing Practices Directorate.

But it will re-open its investigation should it receive relevant new information from the public.

The complaint was filed by Ecojustice on behalf of six “prominent” Canadians, including former Ontario NDP leader and UN ambassador Stephen Lewis.

It accused three groups, Friends of Science, the International Climate Science Coalition, and the Heartland Institute of making false and misleading claims about climate change, including that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide, and that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.


lol, Trump better stay the hell out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Canada makes money from one of the most unfriendly environmental practices on the planet, oil from tar sands. This is nuts.

The republican deniers in the US need to be investigated. Obviously getting paid.

If you can't force people to your side with lies you might as well force them in through fear of investigation.

I think every plant on the planet would agree with these groups.

What does Canada have against foliage?

We are the only country in the world that have a constitutional amendment protecting freedom of speech, we need to be vigilant so we never lose it.

This is probably the worst time to be a scientist.

You can't investigagte things that have become dogma.

(and there's a long list of false dogma)

So we are living in reality a less-enlightened world.
