Calgary climate protestors call carbon capture 'pipe dream'

For Dr. Joe Vipond, climate change isn't just an environmental concern; it's a health hazard. Article content He believes, as past president of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, those in medicine can help translate tangible impacts to Canadians. Article content Article content 'You can see right now in the parts of the country that are burning, how much wildfire smoke — or even the displacement of people from their homes, is a significant health issue, ' Vipond said. Article content Article content 'We have that ability as physicians in interpreting the climate issue in a way that Canadians can understand how it impacts them.' Article content Article content He said that tangible understanding was a great boon in the effort to phase out coal usage in Alberta. Now, he wants to instill a different tangible understanding into Canadians; tax dollar investments losing money. Article content Protestors gathered at the steps of the Harry Hays federal government building in downtown Calgary. They had begun setting up in the buildings entryway courtyard, before security from the building moved them down to the city-owned sidewalk. Article content Despite chants by the crowd of 'hey-ho, pipelines have got to go,' Vipond says that the they were not there to say they should not be built, only that 'there shouldn't be public money going into pipelines.' Article content Article content Article content Pipelines have been a hot-topic at both federal and provincial levels of government. Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre — recently restored to a seat in the house of commons — called for two pipelines to be under construction by the one-year anniversary of Prime Minister Mark Carney taking office. Article content The governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario recently announced a search looking for companies to conduct a feasibility study into a possible pipeline from Alberta to Ontario. Article content Vipond says he's worried that, if funded by tax dollars, a pipeline won't payback its initial investments. Article content 'China will never burn as much oil as it burned last year,' Vipond said. Article content 'At a time where building a pipeline is a a risky endeavor, that risk should be taken on by private capital,' Vipond said. Article content The International Energy Agency has previously confirmed a plateau in Chinese oil fuel demand. However, just last week the organization said that global oil demand will increase by about 700,000 barrels per day this year and in 2026.

Poilievre calls on Canada to designate Bishnoi gang a terrorist group

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has added his voice to the list of politicians calling on the federal government to declare a gang based in India a terrorist organization in Canada. Speaking in Surrey, B.C., on Wednesday, where police say they've received 10 extortion reports in six months, Poilievre asked for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to be added to Canada's list of terrorist organizations. There's evidence now that their violence is linked to terror and to political motivations, Poilievre said. Police in B.C. have said members of the province's South Asian community are being extorted for cash under threat of death or violence, and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been linked to some of those threats. For example, a Surrey businessman has received threats demanding $2 million (new window) while businesses he's associated with have been targets of gunfire three times. The Bishnoi gang is also tied to cases of extortion and targeted shootings in Ontario's Peel Region, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown previously said. WATCH | Bishnoi gang has 'terrorized communities,' Poilievre says: Poilievre said designating the Bishnoi gang a terrorist entity will give police greater authority to crack down on the group's activities. Law enforcement has spoken out about the organized chaos and violence this group has done in our country, and that is why mayors across the country, premiers have also said … this organization should be put on the list of banned terrorist entities, he said. Other political leaders calling for the terrorism label include Brown, B.C. Premier David Eby and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. The Conservatives asked for the designation last week, but Wednesday was the first time Poilievre has addressed the matter publicly. There can be serious criminal and financial consequences to any group labelled a terrorist entity. Banks can freeze assets and police can charge anyone who financially or materially supports such a group.

Photo: (Rahul Singh/ANI/Handout via Reuters) Simon Lafortune, press secretary for the public safety minister, didn't say if the Bishnoi gang is being considered for inclusion on the terrorist list, explaining the government's "national security experts independently evaluate and provide recommendations on whether any entity meets the thresholds set out in the Criminal Code. That process is rigorous and ongoing, and all potential threats are continually assessed to ensure we are keeping Canadians safe, he added. The federal government has taken similar action against seven criminal organizations including cartels and street gangs involved in fentanyl trafficking (new window) . Among them are the Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa cartels, two of Mexico's largest and most powerful organized crime groups. Canadian police sources have told CBC News (new window) the Bishnoi gang is one of a number of criminal enterprises in northern India that have spread into North America in recent years. The group's founder, 32-year-old Lawrence Bishnoi, has been in Indian prisons since 2014, but his network is wide and vast to this day, Poilievre said Wednesday. His organization takes orders from him and carry out extortions and other crimes around the world, the Conservative leader said. Indian media outlets have described extortion as one of the gang's biggest sources of income, at home and abroad. Wednesday's news conference was Poilievre's first media availability since winning a byelection Monday in the rural Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. He used his stop in Surrey to condemn the Liberals' response to crime. Poilievre supports mandatory jail time for people found guilty of extortion. He also wants the government to repeal Bill C-5 (new window) , which expanded the availability of conditional sentences (new window) , allowing some convicted criminals to serve time under house arrest, and Bill C-75 (new window) , which requires judges to release some people charged with a crime while on bail at the "earliest reasonable opportunity (new window) and with the least onerous conditions."

Billionaire Elon Musk spotted in Bella Bella, B.C., over weekend

Airport shuttle driver Sean Carter has lived in the remote northern British Columbia community of Bella Bella for almost nine years and says the small coastal village occasionally gets a celebrity visit. Maybe a movie star or former athlete on a fishing trip. But nothing too high profile. He said that was why he initially ignored a private jet at the local airport on Saturday — until he heard a commotion and people pulled out phones to take photos of Elon Musk, the world's richest man. 0:22 Trump says it's 'ridiculous' for Musk to start a third political party But Carter did make sure to see Musk when he flew out on Monday, after getting a tip that he was on his way back to the airport in a helicopter. Story continues below advertisement 'Sure enough, yeah, the Helijet came back maybe an hour, half an hour later, and Elon Musk was the first guy,' Carter said.

Carter said his photos didn't turn out very well. But another person's photos published by the CBC show the Tesla CEO's arrival on Saturday at the fishing and logging community of about 1,000 residents for his trip with an unknown purpose, with a young boy on his shoulders. 0:50 Elon Musk regrets Trump posts on X: 'I went too far' An account on the social media platform X that tracks Musk's private plane shows it arrived in Vancouver on Saturday before flying out to Seattle, Wash., then San Jose, Calif., on Monday. Story continues below advertisement Tesla did not immediately responded to a request for comment. Carter said he believed Musk may have been visiting James Murdoch, son of media magnate Rupert Murdoch, who has been reported to own a waterfront property nearby. Carter said the Bella Bella area sees some luxury yachts and private planes because of nearby fishing resorts, but it has rarely — if ever — been visited by someone as high profile as Musk. 'This is a very small village,' Carter said. 'And yeah, we'll get the odd celebrity, maybe movie star that goes through to a fishing lodge or an athlete, former athlete or something. 'But to see the world's richest man … however you feel about him personally, it's still a big deal.'
