Canadian Lawmaker introduces Bill to imprison people who “suggest that a fossil fuel “would lead to positive outcomes in relation to the environment, the health of Canadians, reconciliation with indigenous peoples or the Canadian or global economy.”

Ottowa. Feb. 16, 2024. Charlie Angus, a far left Canadian member of Parliament, has introduced C-372: An Act respecting fossil fuel advertising.

The totalitarian bill specifies penalties for producers (“on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or to both”) and individuals of any stripe (“Every person, other than a producer, who contravenes section 6 is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $500,000”) who make improper statements about the fossil fuel industry. 

C-372 states that “It is prohibited for a person to promote a fossil fuel or the production of a fossil fuel…(b) in a manner that states or suggests that a fossil fuel or the practices of a producer or of the fossil fuel industry would lead to positive outcomes in relation to the environment, the health of Canadians, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples or the Canadian or global economy.”

Terry Etam, writing for Wattsupwiththat.com, compares the bill to the 1956 Soviet Criminal Code.
