Selling Canada – Carney’s Pitchbook

By: Gavin Pitchford

For Canadians interested in what, exactly, foreign investors are being offered… it’s all here. Or at least some of it…

When reading, please keep in mind that the Carney government has effectively SUSPENDED ALL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION and projects are effectively pre-approved, with absolutely no impact assessment required. Under present legislation recently enacted as part of the “Budget Implementation Bill” , any Minister can exempt any project from any law except the Criminal Code. And do not have to disclose they have done so – can authorize pretty much anything with anyone – and under no obligation to inform the public.

These include protections for endangered species, and the environment. The Government – or in fact any single cabinet minister – may also seize land without oversight or notice. Because – as above – they may suspend ANY law – excepting only the criminal code. So to be clear, murder is still off the table.
