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.

FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
