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.

Seems like Australia is finally waking up!
One Nation sure sounds a lot like Canada’s PPC. Wouldn’t it be great if Canadians could wake the hell up and figure out that they could vote for a party that actually shares their values like Aussies seem to be doing.
Not sure where this came from but love it!! 😂😂😂😂😂
'If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative When Old, You Have No Brain'
Alberta’s future belongs to Albertans—not Ottawa.
That’s Maxime Bernier’s message on his Alberta tour. He’s calling for radical decentralization: getting Ottawa out of provincial affairs and putting decisions back in the hands of the provinces — and closer to the people who live with the consequences.
MAX’S MESSAGE: OTTAWA, GET OUT OF PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS.
Tonight, Max makes his case live from Calgary, joined by Isaias Nolasco of New Generation PPC, Nadine Wellwood Autor of Alberta Rising, and Madison and MayCee Holmes, co-hosts of At Home with Holmes.
