Feds Encourage Canadian Businesses to Join WEF's Initiative to Advance Net-Zero Goal
The First Movers Coalition aims to use purchasing power of businesses worldwide to decarbonize 'heavy-emitting' sectors such as aviation, shipping and trucking.
The federal government is encouraging Canadian businesses to participate in a World Economic Forum (WEF) initiative that will use their buying power to drive decarbonization across seven industries globally, record shows.
Endorsement of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), which the federal Liberals joined as government partner in January, is contained in a document tabled in Parliament on Dec. 11 in response to questions posed by Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis in October.
Ms. Lewis asked what obligations and actions Ottawa has undertaken to fulfill its commitments as a partner of the FMC.
“As a Government Partner, the Government of Canada is asked to encourage Canadian businesses to join the coalition and influence future supply chains, while positioning themselves to succeed in a sustainable economy,” wrote Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne in the Inquiry of Ministry document.
The FMC was launched by U.S. President Joe Biden at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. It is a partnership between the WEF and the U.S. Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry.
According to the WEF website, the FMC currently has over 90 global corporations as members, and 13 government partners, which have collectively made 120 commitments. The non-governmental organization says the coalition aims to use the purchasing power of businesses worldwide to decarbonize “heavy-emitting” sectors, focusing on aluminium, aviation, cement and concrete, shipping, steel, trucking, and carbon dioxide removal.

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
