Prefab Carney
Is Carney promoting his financial interests by trying to sell prefabricated homes to Canadians?
After a decade of the Liberal government killing the economy with demented progressive policies, with suppression of natural resource development, with a draconian social justice agenda, suddenly Carney, Trudeau’s handpicked and Xi Jinping-approved successor, tells Canadians he’s got a plan to improve productivity and increase housing starts.
Reader, what do you think? Do we believe the Carney Communist Clown Show?
What’s this modular housing thing about, anyway?
Let’s dig in and see what the fuss is about. First of all, Brookfield has a financial interest in modular building. Note the date, reader— this is during Carney’s tenure with Brookfield Asset Management, as head of impact investment. How much of Carney’s love for prefab homes stems from his stock options in the company he worked for as Vice President? That’s for readers to think about. Remember that the Liberals have a poor track record when it comes to ethics and they leave a sh1t-tonne of scandals and ethical violations in their wake, from their decade long tenure chokehold on Canadians.
The city of Hamilton recently chose to award a contract for modular homes to a company that sources from China. The city chose this company over an indigenous owned company. RCI Radio Canada reported this story in January.
“Staff have since told councillors that they weren't aware of all the details about MicroShelters or that MicroShelters would be ordering the tiny homes from China through an American company.
Staff have also confirmed to reporters that they didn't check the company's track record or review a model in person, but rather relied on images from the company's website.”
Reader, do you wonder what exactly civil servants in this country do to earn their pay? This seems basic — checking the business to whom you award a government contract, doesn’t it? What happened to buy Canadian and boycott America blah blah blah? Not to mention that made in China prefab homes have a reputation for poor quality and poor insulation and, as such, cannot meet the standards required to withstand the Canadian winter climate.
In 2019 the Inuit corporation and business arm of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association build a 94-room hotel with “ready-made hotel rooms imported from China. The block-style rooms for the Aqsarniit Hotel and Conference Centre on Federal Road arrived by sealift from Shanghai and were installed in around two weeks.”
According to the CBC report, “the modular hotel rooms were purchased through a Canadian company, Stack Modular, that imports modular units from China. Qikiqtaaluk Corporation's construction management company, Bird Construction, holds shares in Stack Modular.”
No Inuit were involved in building this hotel, which came from China in sections, ie modules. Reader, is that what Carney and his PRC-endorsed party want to bring to Canadians? And this improves productivity how?
Fortune Business Insights reports that the prefab construction industry thrives in China and is projected to grow. Fortune Business Insights reports that “… restructured bank loan policies have contributed significantly to the growth of the modular prefabricated construction market.” So debt financing, then? Reader, do I need to point out that government expenditure and debt financing are an anathema to any country’s economic growth and rising productivity?
Reader, China is the largest polluter in the world, “responsible for a third of global emissions for a population representing just under a fifth of the world's total”, according to France’s Le Monde. Do we really believe that a government driven and debt financed modular building industry will address the pollution problem?
Is this a distraction, reader? That’s for you to surmise, reader.
According to Carbon Tax dot org, “much of China’s CO2 come from fuel burning to manufacture goods exported to the United States. In 2017 those emissions far outstripped U.S. emissions to supply agricultural and other products to China. That’s still the case.”
Reader, more importantly—something the PRC’s choice for Canadian PM Mark Carney has chosen to ignore—China leads the world in green energy investment whilst it continues to open coal-fired power plants, upon which it remains highly dependent. How does China dodge fiduciary and financial responsibility for its pollution damage, reader? Well, it remains a developing nation, that’s how! What if we demanded that China pays climate reparations, reader? Wouldn’t that make more sense? As Legal Planet writes, “on this theory, China seems to have a clear duty to pay: it emits about 28% of world carbon, so it should be paying a hefty fee to other countries to compensate them for the harm its current emissions will cause them now and in the future.”
The globalist elites at the World Economic Forum have things all worked out, reader. Would you look at that ESG ETFs and carbon credits. Scammers much? Reader, can we not? Do people fall for this Clown Show?
“Cases studies show that the sustainability performance of modular construction is not balanced in terms of the economic, social and environmental dimensions”, report Zhou Xu et al in a 2020 study published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.
Recently New Zealanders seemed less than impressed by the idea of Chinese modular homes appearing in their Sandringham neighbourhood, saying the prefab units reminded them of the containers one sees in container ships that come to western ports from China.
Reader, I’ll leave you with a reminder that Smart Cities are not your friend. Carney seems to like the Smart City concept, as he mentioned in the clip above regarding his visit to UBC. Recall that I wrote about this Smart City jig in a recent article? Recall that the PRC promotes Smart Cities in Xinjiang, in service to its panopticonomy?
“Underpinning China’s system of oppression is a high-tech network of surveillance. Developed in partnership with private companies, China has unleashed wholesale monitoring and tracking of Uyghur individuals, including biometric data collection of facial imagery and iris scans and genomic surveillance through mandatory DNA sampling.” — Steven Feldstein, 27.10.2022, in The Bulletin.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS-US) published a report on Xinjiang and the PRC’s oppression of the Uighurs. Please read that and share widely, the Uighurs remain a target of oppression and abuse by the PRC.
Reader, PRC is not a nation Canada should be embracing and looking to for economic policy leadership or sustainability and growth. To do so entails subjugating Canada’s national and economic interests.
Remember that this ESG thing is a scam promoted by globalist elites to line their bank accounts and wallets. Think for yourself, reader. Vote wisely, reader.
