Green Gaslighting: How Smart Cities Will Force Your Compliance
Renee Hunt
The globalists who want to control us all have been working for decades to put the pieces of their authoritarian power structure in place. But unlike past totalitarian dictators they’re not going to rely on force, or even the threat of force.
Because they don’t have to.
The reason they continue to push the global warming lie is for control. By convincing people that driving, or using energy, or having children is bad for the environment, and that if we don’t take drastic measures right now, the earth will become uninhabitable, they obtain the willing compliance of a large percentage of the population.
Why take away people’s rights and freedoms when you can convince them to willingly give them up.
But what about the rest of us? Those of us who know the real science, that manmade global warming via CO2 emissions is impossible. How do they control us?
The answer, largely, is Smart Cities, which are now doctrine in almost every city in Canada. And it’s far more than just bike lanes and draconian rezoning laws.
Renee Hunt is with Action 4 Canada, one of our largest freedom organizations, and she’s done a deep dive into the Smart Cities agenda. She joins me today to reveal how they plan to control us all, simply by taking away our ability to resist.

(1:09 - 1:35) Renee Hunt is with Action 4 Canada, one of our largest freedom organizations, and she's done a deep dive into the smart cities agenda. She joins me today to reveal how they plan to control us all, simply by taking away our ability to resist. Renee, welcome to the show. (1:36 - 6:47) Thank you, so happy to be here. Thank you for having me on. And a viewer put me in touch with you, and I'm very glad they did, because you have done this magnificent series of videos on the green agenda, specifically here in Calgary, but it's happening everywhere, not just in Canada, around the world. And let's start with the fact that a few years ago, Mayor Gondek here, who is very much a globalist, declared a state of emergency for the city of Calgary, or sorry, a climate emergency. And what a lot of people don't know is that the cities that haven't done that are the exception, not the rule. It's happening everywhere, and it's all part, of course, of the globalist control agenda. So there's your lead off, Renee. I'm going to let you run with that. Okay, absolutely. Thank you so much. Yes, you are correct. And Mayor Gondek, actually, that was not something that she ran on when she was running for mayor. And so when she did declare, which was very, very soon after she was elected, it was a shock to the city, and honestly, to the province. And a real, you know, a real slap in the face, really, to the people of Calgary and people who work in these industries. As we know, Calgary and Alberta is a major source of our fossil fuels and a major source of income for the country. So for the mayor to declare something like that, yes, it was a real slap in the face for people who've worked in that industry for years and years. So yes, it was a big surprise. And yes, when you start to dig into it a little bit, you definitely see and can make the connections between what's happening in the city of Calgary and the global agenda, honestly. Yes. Okay, so let's talk about now about how they're implementing this as a control agenda. Yes. And you can assume that my viewers know that the entire climate alarmist narrative is completely false. But what better way to control people? What better to get them to give up their rights and to convince them that if they don't give up their rights and freedoms, that the whole planet's going to die? Yes. And so they're convincing people to voluntarily give up their freedoms with this whole narrative. So how are they implementing this? Absolutely. Well, it was really important with the group that I work with, that we come with the receipts. That was very important. We already know, and I'm sure your viewers can agree, that quite often we may be labeled as, you know, the tin hat conspiracy folk. And so it was really important to myself, volunteering with this organization that I do, that I help the individuals who this is of concern is that we come with the receipts and that we don't make anything up. We use exactly what the city of Calgary has put out there and really, you know, just follow the breadcrumbs. And so that's what I did. And I realized that most people, they feel like something is not quite right. Just in your gut, you know, something is wrong with this. I don't agree necessarily with this climate agenda. But we know that the bad side to the green side is they're very loud, they're very vocal, and they can shut you down very easily. And so we wanted to empower the people and give them the information. And the city does a very, very good job of creating all of these documents. There are so many, and I'm sure your viewers can also attest to, you can go down those rabbit holes and you can spend hours at it because you click one link and it takes you down that hole and then you click another link and it takes you down. So it's daunting. And my opinion there is that it's done on purpose. Because this document, the 2050 climate document that the city of Calgary has is almost 100 pages. So who has time, right, to do that research that's necessary? And so I do personally feel that it works in the city's favor to have such documents made and have them so daunting that nobody really feels they have the time to take to go and look in depth into it. And at first glance, it doesn't seem too nefarious, honestly, unless you know and are a little bit familiar with some of the goals of the United Nations and their SDG goals, the Sustainable Development Goals for people who aren't familiar with that. And once you go into that site and spend a little time looking around, once you see it, then you can't unsee it when you go into the 2050 climate document. And there's many aha moments right within that document. (6:48 - 7:59) Yes. And I'm glad you brought up those Sustainable Development Goals. I have many times referred to them as a communist manifesto. When they say sustainable development, what they mean is everyone being universally poor and unable to move around and no rights. So let's apply that now, because now that you've put this in this framework, that this agenda 2050 pathways thing for the city of Calgary and other cities have very similar documents. It's all based upon the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which, as we've just agreed, is nothing but a communist manifesto to take away our rights. And you made a really good comment. You said, when you first look at this document, well, it doesn't seem too nefarious until you really dig into it. So you've dug into it. So show us what you found that reveals what it's really about. OK, for sure I will. So what I have done is I just gave a little bit of history to the residents of Calgary. And maybe I'll just pull up what I had presented and then we'll probably sneak past a few of the slides. Are you able to see my screen? Yes, absolutely. I can see your screen, Renee. (7:59 - 9:27) And before you start here, I want to make it very clear to the viewers, if you go looking, you will probably find a very similar document in your city. So don't think that just because this is for Calgary, it doesn't apply to you. Yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely. So I won't take you back too far. And you can go on the Action 4 Canada Rumble site and find these videos. There's approximately four hours of video. And I kind of take the viewer, you know, through through the websites and, you know, show them where to click and how to find such things. But maybe it's worth pointing out here that it was really, you know, if we go back and look at something, a little bit of the Calgary background, right, we can see that it was Mayor Nenshi who was in place at the time. And I won't necessarily click on this, but it was under Mayor Nenshi that the city of Calgary did apply to become a smart city. And they applied to the Smart City Challenge during that time. And we know that these two are quite close. And Nenshi now, you know, he's, for those who are watching from afar and aren't familiar with Alberta politics, he's the current leader of the Alberta NDP, but he was Mayor of Calgary. (9:27 - 10:52) And I think it's really important to point out as well that during his time there, when you look back at some of the documents that were created, and the things that we know now, you can really see a socialist slant to what Mayor Nenshi was trying to do at the time. And so I've just circled and I talked to people about the different things that have popped up. But a couple of the things that really, really popped out was the exploring guaranteed universal basic income options was in a city document, which is kind of crazy to me that, you know, it's the city of Calgary that's looking at such things. And the other thing was in their appendix for this resilient Calgary document was the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. So it's right there. It's not, you know, myself making it up. You can go back and find such things. And it's in their appendix. So if you click on that, you can go and look. And the picture at the very bottom there, the icons that comes right from, from the UN's SDG goals website. And so at the top, when they're, they're talking about these different, like inclusive futures, these are different documents that the cities has created. And then they show how the UN's goals align within their documents. (10:53 - 11:17) So again, it was just it was just right there and very, very obvious. So with that, just so everybody is is familiar. The city of Calgary, you know, they did apply to become the smart city. But they were not accepted. And they did not win. And I do talk about that in the video. (11:17 - 13:00) And I give you a little bit more background in that we and as a result, it does say right on the website, and you can go and look it up. And some of these pages on their website are old. But they did not win. But they did say they're going to continue on with the smart city technologies. And that has not ended. The city definitely uses smart technologies. And I also talked about that in the video and where to go and find it. So Mayor Gondek, when she came into power, and she was under Nancy, she was a councillor in the city under Nancy. So it wasn't long sworn in in October, towards the end of October and beginning of November, right away, she declared the emergency, which was a shock to to everyone. And the thing about Mayor Gondek is that she's very much a globalist. Just very recently, last summer, she was elected vice president of the World Energy Cities Partnership. And it says right there on the website, you know, that they want to reduce greenhouse gases. And so we're going to have to go to a safer type of energy source. So it's right there in the wide open for everybody to see. And what I really, really like to point out to people within the 2050 document itself, and please stop me if I if you have a question, or if I'm going too fast here, is at the end of the 2050 climate documents, they've actually included the actual declaration. (13:00 - 13:28) So the piece of paper that would have been produced at the, you know, the actual meeting and who the sponsoring councillors were. So all I've done here is I took a screenshot of that. So and I highlighted a few things that people might want to be aware of, and basically saying, you know, Calgary is one of the last remaining cities that has not declared the emergency. (13:29 - 21:09) And I just made big, or larger some of the words that I thought were important, and then put them in red here, that international initiatives are important to the city as such as the Global Covenant of Mayors, the Resilient Cities Network, Race to Zero are included there. So in the larger videos, I do go and do a little clicking around there and show people what it's all about. On the next, it is almost, it is a two page document there. But what is interesting is that they've also included references within the document itself, that the emergency declaration is based on. And so one of the items that stood out to me when I look through the references, and the references were clickable, was the climateemergencydeclaration.org. So you can actually go there. And you can just follow, click around and see what it's all about. And I won't take you through it. But here's a screenshot of just their main page. And on it, and this was just a couple weeks ago, when I presented, I went and checked again, and the number had increased now to over 2000 jurisdictions that have declared this. But what's interesting, if you click around a little bit more, is that this is based in Australia. So really, you know, what does us, what's happening in Australia? And what do, what are they trying to achieve that has anything to do with us? Really, right? So, so that's something for people to take a look at. And again, if you click around, and it's really, I find very difficult to just pull a few items, because there's just so much there. But one of the things I pulled was a campaign to ban all new fossil fuel projects at the local level. And other words there that you hear wartime measures are needed, because this is such such an emergency that's happening within the world there. So that was one of one of the big ones. And again, I tell everybody, we're not pulling this out of a hat, City of Calgary has it right there on the website, and you can just follow the breadcrumbs. And the one of the other areas they talk about is the resilient cities network. And again, you can go and click it shows you all the different cities that have signed on to this in the world. And but what was interesting to me as I looked around on the website is that it was originally launched by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2013. And I know that your viewers will be very familiar with the nefarious Rockefellers and their foundation. So so that was very interesting as well. And again, these are just screenshots of the websites and within the videos themselves, I go through and I click on a few different areas for people to find information. Launch to zero is mentioned as well. And there, if you click and find out a little bit about that, it's the United Nations initiative. And it was launched in very interesting that a lot of this came to prominence. And some of the things that you really see happening were in 2015, and beyond. And interesting in our country of Canada is that is also when Trudeau came into power. And Trudeau also is a young global leader along with Nancy. So it's very interesting that all of this sort of really started to happen in Canada after that date. So yeah, very interesting indeed. And so on this on this website, I did actually go and screen capture quite a few different pages to show to show folks. But one of the areas that I did that was important, just for people to to be aware anytime that there's talk about a 1.5 degrees Celsius, or, you know, needing to stay below that or not go above it. That's all United Nations. So anytime you see that you can know and and rest assured that that is is what you're dealing with there. And so when I took a screenshot of this, and you can see that there's also a link that's mentioned, and you can go and check that out. And so I did go and check that out, which I'll bring up right away. But race to zero. So what was interesting here too, is that ICLEI is mentioned. And I'll talk about that coming up very soon. But that ICLEI essentially, in a nutshell, is for groups to bring in the United Nations initiatives at the local level. And that's been going on for since the 90s, when ICLEI came into power, or pardon me, came into being. So interesting that ICLEI is a sponsor for the race to zero, as well as others, particularly the C40 cities, which we'll talk about very briefly. So as I mentioned, you can go into this website and check out, I'm just going to bring this back up so you can see it here. So this Climate Action Portal, so you can go and check things out there. And so if you go there, and I recommend everybody does, go and check it out. I grabbed a screenshot here. You can filter, so you can actually filter between different countries of the world, the regions, I brought down to Canada, and it will tell you how many actors here, I have 558 actors within Canada, that are working in this organization, and the Climate Action Portal here. And you can even break it down into businesses that have signed up. And so I can actually see businesses within the province of Alberta and see who is a part of this. So very interesting indeed. And so I grabbed this screenshot, because when you see the words adaptation, mitigation, they have these plans that must be submitted. And so within the 2050 document, mitigation, adaptation, are our headliners really in there. So it was just another way for me to show people the receipts, I guess you could say. And we did spend a little bit of time in the videos going a little bit more in depth into those websites. So when it comes to C40 cities, that is also a mentioned as a sponsor of some of these different initiatives. People will say and talk about perhaps Calgary is a C40 city, you can go to the website, check it out, Calgary is not listed as a C40 city. But what's interesting is that C40 cities are sponsors of many of the initiatives. And for those of you who are not familiar with C40 cities, we have an excellent video on the website. Very in depth. It's very nefarious, very dystopian. (21:10 - 24:08) And you can actually go into the different chapters and we show you in the video. But the ambitious goals they have, they have goals, and then they have ambitious goals. So these are some of the ambitious goal that the C40 would like to achieve. And there are mayors around the world. And I don't have the receipts on all of the mayors that go to the C40 conferences. And you can see here, some of the areas that are most nefarious. So when we talk about control, that really, the green agenda is all about, yes, we very much believe that it's about control and controlling the people. Right. And so now, now that you've given us that excellent high level overview, and if there's more you need to give us yet, that's fine. But what I'd like to transition into now is talking about how this is going to affect the people. Yes. And so if there's more here that you need to give us to frame that, please go ahead. But then I'm going to have some questions about how it's going to affect individuals within our cities. 100%. So there's definitely more we could do. And we could just sort of take you through, you know, the journey. But I think probably at this point, you have you have enough information. One of the things that I do lead up to is just showing people a little bit about the United Nations and their website just a little bit. So in in background, just slight background is when we were having the rezoning issue happening within the city, that became quite apparent to me because of the research that I had done, that there was a direct relation to the rezoning that was happening in Calgary, and what was in the 2050 document. So what I like to point out to everyone is, I mean, there's many different areas that the UN looks at in regard to these goals, but specifically the ones that pertain to the 2050 climate document is the theme number 11, which is the sustainable cities and communities. And so some of and again, it takes a lot of time to go through all of that. So I just condensed it and a quick summary. So some of the things there that pop up are negating the urban sprawl. So that's a really, really big one. And when we when the city talks about about this and talks about the planning for the city, they don't want to go outward. And that's really important to the United Nations, because it's about keeping the natural spaces natural. And so we don't want to do that. That's what they say, what they really want is to increase population density, so they can restrict movement and control the population. 100%. So instead of going up. (24:08 - 25:46) Right. And yeah, so that's sort of about the densification. Sorry, I just I want to interject a good story here, because I've got a personal story I can tell about this rezoning and this increase in population density in our neighborhood here in Calgary, where my wife and I have lived now for almost 30 years. Very recently, we got dropped in our mailbox, a very professional looking one page brochure. It wasn't from the government. It was from a neighbor, a neighbor who had the property beside them rezoned for multifamily dwelling and were informed by the city that they had no say in the matter. They're going to put up an apartment building right next to this person's house, and there's nothing they can do about it, which is going to kill their property value, probably possibly bring crime into the neighborhood. And that that could be a big one, because the neighborhood that I live in Calgary has an exceptionally low crime rate, always has. But as soon as you increase the population density, well, now you start getting crime problems. And so the big thing to take away from this story is there was no no one was questions about this. The neighborhood was not consulted. The neighbors were not asked. The city just went ahead and rezoned this property. And I know this is happening across Canada. Yes, absolutely. You're absolutely right. And when we had the rezoning back and forth with this with this actual counselors and people went down to City Hall and they presented the percentage that did not want this new rezoning to go through was very high. And forgive me, but I think it was above 70% that were saying no, we don't want this. (25:47 - 27:23) But and we could that could probably be a whole nother video on its own about perhaps things that were in place before this even happened, that they were going to go ahead with the rezoning anyway. So that that is not democracy, when the counselors do not listen to the people. And and I mean, we could get into all that too. But the counselors have majority of them have lost their way in terms of you're to represent the people and what the people want. You're not there to to bring in your ideological views and what you think that the city should do and the city should have. So, but you're exactly right. And most people don't realize that this is what it's gone to now is that, yes, your neighbor beside you can just decide, you know what, I think that's a really good idea to just have an income property. So I'm going to knock down my house or add on to it. And I can go up three levels beside my neighbor. And we can have up to eight units, right, right there, right, right beside you. And that, yeah, we could go on and on about that. But then it gets into issues of the parking, you know, the amount of people that are going to be living in the area. Yeah, it gets to be a long, drawn on affair to talk about. But you're exactly right. That's what this densification is all about. So moving on from there. So this here is the Calgary climate strategy. And there's a lot of areas that we could talk about and look at there. (27:25 - 28:24) Here it is. As of late, there's been some talk in the news about, honestly, I would say that it's the city gaslighting people who are concerned. We do have some councillors like Mr. McLean, who is speaking up and talking about the money that has apparently been, you know, set aside for this green climate agenda. And he is being gaslit, in my opinion, because the mayor herself is saying to the administration, really, do we really have this much? Are we going to put this much money into the green climate agenda? And the administration says, no, no, we don't have that kind of money. Instead, it's going to come from across all different organizations and industries that are going to help. They're going to help to make this happen. (28:25 - 29:38) So very interesting what's happening there now with a little bit of pushback. But there's much I could share. But what I'll do is I'll just jump right over here. Now, when the housing strategy talk was happening, and the rezoning was happening, I went and looked at that document a little bit closer, because I was going to speak at one of the open houses. And so, if you open up that rezoning document, or the housing document, sorry, they say right in there, and you can go and read it for yourself, but one of the items that really stuck out to me, because I had been researching the climate document, is the climate strategy. They're saying that the housing strategy aligns with the climate strategy, and they talk about that. And I've highlighted it there, that Calgary is expected to grow to over 2 million people. It's crucial that a variety of low carbon, climate resilient housing types and transportation options, and a variety of communities are available to Calgarians to support the net zero goals. And right in there, they tell you and it says zero carbon neighborhoods. (29:39 - 31:24) So if you're not familiar with the climate document, then you're not aware that that's an actual theme within the document itself. And if perhaps what I'll do now is I will bring up that particular area, if that's okay. If you could explain what a zero climate neighborhood is, and what it would look like living in one. Well, the document itself does that. But in a nutshell, it would it actually, I think we need to go into the document to show you. And before I jump into it, I wanted to just bring this up really quick, because many people have talked to me and contacted me and said, you know, about Calgary being a smart city. So I do go through the steps and show them about, you know, Calgary was denied being a smart city. So within the 2050 document itself, and generally any PDF document, people can go and do a word search. So honestly, I just put in different words that I thought would be important to show people sort of the angle or the direction that this this document goes into. And so you can see smart city doesn't even come up within the document itself when I searched up that word. But you can see the different words that do come up and that are much, much larger in terms of you know, carbon, for example, net zero climate, it all comes up there. And retrofit, that's a big one. And that's a big part of the neighborhoods. And so really, so what we say is that the city of Calgary, you know, their climate plan is that like the Trojan horse for bringing in and implementing many of the SDG goals there. So just a little something interesting for folk. (31:25 - 31:42) So what I'll do, I do go through the document, sort of outline a little bit and help people to understand the document, because it can be a little bit confusing. But I'm not going to do that right now. But what I'll do is I'm going to minimize my, my PowerPoint here. (31:43 - 33:33) And I will bring up the the actual 2050 document. So I'll make it a little bigger. Are you able to see that? All right. Yes, we can. Thank you. Okay, perfect. So if we go to the zero carbon neighborhoods, because that's the one that they point out, and there are more we could go through. But there are some definite areas that come up that really pop and are sort of they lead you down the path of realizing that this was a plan that was happening all along. And in the videos, I do show you even a way back to 2017 documents, they're talking about needing to increase density, that having parking spaces or using cement to create parking spaces, that's not a smart idea, because all that's doing is encouraging people to drive, for example, and that's not achieving our purpose. So again, here, you can see I've highlighted a few things here. But what I'll do and this theme, it does have three main areas. So the zero emission vehicles. So that's a big thing within the United Nations SDG goals as well is transportation. That's a big one. That's why in many cities, there's a big push for for the trains to occur. Particularly here in Calgary, and we're not opposed to, you know, connecting the city by any stretch. But when you know that it's related to the goal of reducing carbon so that people drive less, that's when the light bulbs go on. And mode shift, they talk about getting people to use low emission ways of getting around. (33:33 - 36:55) And the big one, because at that time, I was looking at the rezoning zero emission city design to transform the land use planning to prioritize zero emission city design. And I will say when you look into the document, even the preamble in the document, it says that the city has significant authority to adjust or change the zoning within the city. So that is something that was on their mind for quite quite some time. So this may be a little confusing to folk, but I do in the videos, I go and explain what all these arrows mean, etc, etc, and just help people to understand the document a little bit more. So if we look at the pathways quickly, accelerate the transition to zero emissions vehicles. So it's on their mind. And again, I've highlighted a few different things. But requiring that all new residential builds to be built to an EV ready standard. So that's what they would like to implement is when people want to build new places, new houses within the city, is that your your house must be built EV ready, which is a huge cost to have that done. Establish zero emissions transportation zones. So you can see here that they say it's not started yet. I do talk a little bit about the pricing, how much that is going to be. Now this document goes back to 2022. So have they updated it yet? We haven't seen anything to know where they are in in in regards to progress. But in the videos, I do go and I show people London has had a zero emissions transportation zone for many, many years. And what that basically involves is that your vehicle has to be a certain standard in terms of the emissions that it puts out. And if not, when you want to go down in downtown area, that's going to mark more where the eye of the big Ferris wheel is in London, that you have to pay to go into that zone. And if your vehicle is does not meet that certain standard, then you have to pay even more to go into that zone. And those zones are monitored, basically eight in the morning till five at night that you you must pay and as well as on weekends to go down into that area. And now many people are probably familiar that in New York, they are Kathy Hopel, the governor there is trying to implement the low emission zone. And I think that is below 60th Ave or Street. So I'm not sure of those two, but in Manhattan in New York. And she has graciously allowed the residents to only pay nine dollars to get in there rather than 15 residents. And that's nine dollars a day, right? A day to go down into Manhattan. Exactly. And right now, President Trump is pushing back on that he being a fellow from New York was a love for New York is saying, No, we should not make this a cost for our people who need to work and get into downtown to have to pay and for visitors to come here to have to pay either. So they're they're sort of warring that out right now. (36:55 - 37:23) And there are people pushing back in London, for example, about some of these things that that are going on. So there is definitely pushback. So this is something that is real and happening in the world. And Calgary is looking at examples around the world. And this is something that they would like to implement here in Calgary as well. So, again, some other areas in regard to pay pay to play sort of things. (37:24 - 40:54) They would like to work the province. And I will say that the province comes up a lot within this document. So that may be something that we'll be addressing as well. But again, the direct user pay cost of travel. So responding to time, location, type of vehicle and even the level of congestion present along the route, they would like to implement this payment option. And I will say that what I've read down, pardon me, over in London, is that, yes, the larger vehicles pay more if you're driving a truck or your delivery truck or something like that. And very interesting there is that the United States, their consulate down there, and this was reported on the Epoch Times, that they have millions and millions of dollars in fees, emissions fees. And they are saying, no, we're not. We're not paying that. We should be exempt from having to pay it. So that's something that's happening and going on right now, too. I want to raise a point about that, because if you were just talking about how they want to charge people not just to go into certain areas, but possibly charge them based upon how much congestion is, how much time they spend there. To do that, they have to track them. Absolutely. Now, I have my own theory about how they would do that. But what do you think? Absolutely. So what we talk about at the very, very beginning of the PowerPoints that I do is talk about many of the initiatives in the early days, particularly one that I point out is one that was happening in Toronto at the time. It was called Sidewalk Labs. And it was sponsored by Google's parent company, Alphabet. And at that time, one of the ladies, I'm sorry, I'm forgetting her name, but I have it in the PowerPoint. She was a commissioner for privacy. And she was on the board there for the Sidewalk Labs. And she was very, very concerned because she said that privacy is not, it's going to be a big thing here. And I'm worried that people's privacy using this technology is not going to be protected. So she actually stepped down from that. And another screenshot that I grabbed and put up is also talking about the Canadian security CSIS. Sorry, I may not be getting that term exactly right. And they also talk there. And it was a shot that I grabbed of an article that was put out when they did a talk and presentation on this is that they're very concerned about the smart city technologies, that it is open and available for nefarious players to be able to grab our information and and use that against us. So absolutely, you're 100 percent right that a lot of these technologies could be picked up by nefarious players and information about how they would track you, because there's two obvious ways. One, they just track your cell phone, but they're going to have a problem with people like me, who typically leave my cell phone at home because I don't like being tracked. But what we do know now is we've got the data to show that there are more cameras, especially traffic cameras in existence today than you can even count. They're everywhere. (40:55 - 42:34) And this is why they want AI, because by connecting AI to those traffic cameras, they can read your license plate number and they can track where you are and how long you spent there, even if you don't have your cell phone with you. And the only way you can do that is with an AI. Human operators couldn't do this. Yes. Yes. And such things happen already. We know right over, particularly in China, we know they've been doing it for ages and ages. I talk in the videos about Singapore. They're sort of the icon of the smart city technology, and they've been doing it since 2014 there. But yes, they talk about the amount of cameras that are necessary for for this to occur. Absolutely. You're 100 percent right. And I do, if people want or are interested in the videos that Calgary has been using smart technology for a long time, and they have that information on the right, right on their website. And it takes a little bit to find it. You need to click, click, click. And but they talk about the smart technologies and just, for example, out on the golf course at Shaganapi Golf Course. And they talk about having the technology there. And they show you they lift up the seat of the golf cart and they show you right there. See this little and they show they show you what it is. And so if you're ever wondering why the marshal will come around and tell you that you're going to slow on the golf cart, it's because we have this technology and we're watching you and we know. So and that's just one example that they that they use and talk about right on their website. (42:35 - 43:47) So there's that there. And then if we think there's three different programs here within this theme. And so, again, I just highlighted different areas. A lot of it could be made into their own videos, probably. But actually, can I can I jump in? I want to back up for me because it's really important. This tracking is here's something I'm sure a lot of people haven't thought about. We've already put together for them traffic cameras combined with AI's that can track your license plate numbers. They know as soon as you enter a city, they know where you are. They know how long you're taking to go there. They know how much time you're spending there. Then you get out of your car and you're being tracked by facial recognition. So all they need now to control these cities is legislation, like we've discussed, like they have in London, like they're bringing in a New York that says you can't spend more than X amount of time in these areas. Or if you're going to these areas, we're going to charge you. And what starts happening is people who might not even be aware that these legislations have come into place suddenly get a fine in their mailbox from the city for hundreds of dollars saying, well, you spent too much time in this area driving around. And what's going to happen? People are going to comply because they're getting hit in the wallet. (43:49 - 45:03) Yes, 100 percent, 100 percent. And people are fighting back against this. And we always give out the disclaimer that we're not advocating this to for people to do this. But over there in London, this is happening. This is going on. People do not agree with it and they're pushing back and they are doing things like knocking down these cameras and spray painting the cameras and doing these things because they exactly right. They are getting the bills in the mail and they do not agree and do not want them. So if people think that it's make believe that it's not happening, that it wouldn't happen here, I think they'd better think twice about that. Yes, absolutely. And we know I just honestly listened to a news program yesterday talking about, you know, our government, the central banks wanting to pass the CBDCs, very strongly looking at that. So, again, the connection that could be made to what you're spending and, you know, you being cut off from being able to spend even. Right. So not only do you get a giant bill in the mail, but your social credit score gets docked because you spent too much time in this area. So get your. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. 100 percent. (45:03 - 48:29) And so earlier in my slides, I talk about and I show how the change has been made within the city of Calgary, how what what it once looked at one time and now the changes that we're seeing and it's it that was back in 2017. They actually had a plan and a picture for what the streets should look like. And so that was now having more of the stores at the base of the buildings, which we're seeing that now the base of the apartment condo building. So we're seeing that now the roads being made smaller so that it's harder for people to drive, making parking less available and and having the train. And we actually they actually show ratios of the amounts of people that they want to be living in areas and being able to take the train because then they're not driving. Right. And again, so you think of it as people being caged in into a certain area and that that they've been looking at that for a long, long time, honestly. And there's another method that they've been using to prevent people from driving. It's been going on for years now in every city in Canada, as far as I've seen. And it's bike lanes. Yes. So they take a road that was three already congested when it was three lanes. Now they've blocked one lane off for the bikes, which most of the time there's hardly anybody in it. And certainly six months of the year in Canada, there's even fewer people in it. And now they get you down to two lanes. If it was two lanes, now it's one lane. And they're making it so frustrating and time consuming to get anywhere. Plus, of course, all the parking spaces that are now gone because of that bike lane being there and people just give up. Yes. And that's the goal for people to give up is, again, my opinion. But I do. I do believe that that that is the goal. I have relatives that live in Victoria and it is a nightmare to drive even what should be probably 15 minutes to get somewhere. And it works out to be like closer to an hour because the infrastructure is horrible. The parking is horrible. And yeah, you're right, because then people just give up. And it's probably quicker to go on a bike at that point. But thankfully, there are areas that are pushing back. I know in an article that True North put out, they they spoke about their bike lanes being considered to be to get rid of them because it's it's not helping the situation. It's not helping the congestion at all. And you're right. People aren't using them. Well, it's just making it worse. It's not helping. It's making it worse. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. So I'll just I'll just go through this rather quickly here, developing a travel demand management strategy to increase ride sharing. So slowly, slowly, slowly, they're trying to, like, squeeze you, squeeze you to get you to use not to use your internal combustion engine. Right. And so, again, repurposing the lane. So we were just talking about, right, repurposing existing lanes and update policies to complete street designs. So complete street is a street where you have everything a person would need right on that street so that they don't have to drive anywhere to get what they need. And again, the pricing, the pricing structures and tools there. So this area, though, Program H, this was the big one, particularly when it came to the rezoning. (48:30 - 50:02) Focus land use planning to prioritize zero emission city designs. And as I said before, I try to highlight different areas. This one, I mean, OK, I have to highlight everything here because this is exactly what we're talking about. So things that I double highlighted were our communities will transition to compact. So that's another word that's often used for the 15 minute cities, compact mixed use. So, for example, myself, you know, living in a certain area where it's a single family home and zoned for that. They're saying it's going to become a mixed use area now with abundant infrastructure, where transit and active modes of transportation are the preferred mobility choices. And there's more there. But here's what I pointed out before was land use planning is a key function of municipal governments. The city of Calgary has significant authority to influence the type and quality of the urban form in Calgary. Wasn't that interesting that they have the significant influence? It's not we're going to listen to the people and we're going to see what the people want. No, it's us. It's we. The is on us. And yeah, as Calgary moves to towards a denser urban form. So the plan was there all along. Remember, this came out in 2022, but would have been worked on way before that in 2021, for example. So way, way before the zoning issue became a really hot button, a hot button topic. (50:03 - 51:05) So, again, LAPs, local area plans, that was something that many of the different areas within the city, you know, they came up with their own plans for development. But now they're saying that they're going to have to align with the climate strategy. I'm going to just skip to the next one real quick. So some of the things that pop out, develop and implement net zero emissions and climate resilience design guidelines for both new and established communities. Align the build out of new communities with provision of active mobility infrastructure and transit service. So with the focus on like biking, walking and getting being able to get on the train, not with the focus of you being able to drive your vehicle. And there's and I just pointed out mitigation and adaptation strategies that that are in there and that they talk about. And this is, I think, the last one that I'll show here. Incentivize and prioritize energy efficient development in all areas through land use bylaw rules and policy direction. (51:05 - 51:36) And I find it very interesting that in one of the areas that I was just reading again, as I was preparing for this, is that they talk about energy poverty within the city of Calgary. And they say that there are a lot of people who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Well, isn't that very interesting being that you're trying to make it more expensive by reducing fossil fuel use? But with that said, they also went on to say that people can't afford to do the upgrades because they are in energy poverty because we want people to retrofit their houses. (51:37 - 52:35) So we're going to have to find ways to help these people who are in energy poverty to retrofit their house. And through the land use bylaw update, enable increased housing types and support uses in residential areas to facilitate complete communities again and reduce dependency on private vehicles. So it's there. And we also consider viable options for removing and or reducing motor vehicle parking minimums in residential areas to allow for more compact developments, more efficient use of land, and encourage alternate modes of transportation. Right. And if they get away with this crap, don't be surprised if there comes a day when and you and I are the same. We live in a single family home in an older neighborhood. Don't be surprised to come today when the city says you're not allowed to park on the street anymore. A hundred percent. And if you don't have a garage or a place to park in your backyard, you're now out of luck. Yes. You have nowhere to park your car. (52:36 - 54:29) Yes. And they're doing that a little bit in terms of people needing a certain permit. You're only allowed so many permits for a family to in order to park even on the street right out in front of your house. That's always been the case in the really inner city crowded neighborhoods that are close to downtown. But now with climate alarmism again, this is going to be their excuse. We're trying to reduce the number of cars that are driving around. And so we want people walking and it's safer if there's no cars on the street so people can walk safely. So you're not allowed to park on the street in front of your house anymore. Absolutely. Absolutely. I could see it coming from the center of the city and moving out. Absolutely. That control there. And one other just side note, and this is on my mind today because I do often get emails from people who there's things that are of concern to them or things they're wondering about. I had an email from people who cc'd me on it. They sent it to the city of Calgary and they're talking about the concern about certain areas of the city looking really haphazard and you don't seem to be cutting the grass or taking care to trim things up and make things look really nice. Well actually within this climate document, they do say we're not on track to reach our 2050 goal. So we're going to have to do a lot more. We're going to have to buckle down. And one of the things that they talk about is letting the city of Calgary go back to nature, like go all natural so that the grass grows long. It's not touched. It's not looking touched by humans. And so I thought well isn't that interesting that people are noticing the scruffy look of certain areas but right within the 2050 document that is their plan is that it just goes all goes back to nature with you know looking pristine and untouched. So if we think with that and it's happened many times already, you won't be allowed to water your lawn anymore either. (54:30 - 55:03) Exactly. But here's another thing that people haven't thought of and I know they haven't but I think about this stuff because I talk about these kind of things all the time. It starts with no you can't water your lawn and it moves to you can't water your garden. So if you're trying to grow your own vegetables, well too bad you're not allowed to water it. 100 percent. 100 percent. And that we know that yes that kind of came about last year, right? We were dealing with that in the water crisis and I or apparent crisis. Yes, manufactured water crisis. Manufactured. (55:03 - 56:11) For people outside of Calgary who haven't heard about this, there was mysteriously a number of major problems with large water mains in the city that all happened at the same time and took weeks and weeks to fix and no one was allowed to use more than the minimum amount of water during this time. Yeah. Exactly. And if you actually go on to the UN website they talk about and actually I did a little research just introductory research into the water situation in Calgary and one of the things they talk about is reducing water use and that we need there need to be ways in order to get people to reduce. And in actuality there have been things that the city has implemented and we know that because we pay for our water, right? Because now they can see the amount of water that you use in your house, the amount of grey water, black water that goes out and you pay for that. And when I look back at some of the early documents, these were some of the things that the strategies that they were going to use to encourage people to reduce or use less water. (56:12 - 57:11) So they have implemented these things. Those things are there. So, you know, it kind of you kind of it leaves you thinking, well, you know, yeah, I should use my water responsibly. I probably shouldn't just leave the water tap on when I'm brushing my teeth, for example. But at the same time, then we start to worry about, OK, well, how much are they watching us? Right. And so that becomes a whole, you know, probably a whole other topic. I want to point something out though, Renée, and you're sitting here telling us about the smart cities and you're a very smart person. You know what these people are up to. And you've just mentioned this idea of, well, I probably shouldn't leave the water running while I'm brushing my teeth. Now, if and I have lived, by the way, in other countries, I've lived in, say, certain areas of Mexico. Good idea because there's not much water to go around. It's probably coming from a cistern on the roof. But we live in Canada. We have more fresh water per capita in this country than any other country in the world. We're not going to run out. (57:12 - 57:45) And yet they're infecting people with this idea. Oh, you know, we've got to be careful how much water you use. It's ludicrous. It's like telling people who live in the desert, you've got to be careful how much sand you use. Well, and you know what? You bring up a good point because it reminds me of the article put out by Mr. Robert Lyman talking about smart cities. You know, are they a good idea, a bad idea? And he talks about the ridiculousness of us, the cities worrying about not, you know, not having urban sprawl or going outwards because we have so much land in Canada. (57:45 - 59:41) And he gave the number, you know, about how much uninhabited land we have in Canada do we really need to be worrying about this, honestly? No, we don't. So it's just, it's virtue signaling, right? That's exactly what it is. And I think at this point in time, we can package this for people to understand the plan, the master plan that the cities are buying into under these UN sustainable development goals. It's very simple. You brainwash the gullible into complying and then you fine and control those who understand what's going on to into complying. Yes, yes, 100%. And I think people like the councillors, and honestly, I will say probably the administrative state behind the councillors, because I think there's a big push behind them. We have so many committees as well within the city of Calgary, the climate committees, climate advisory boards, for example, those are the people who are most likely helping and pushing this. So yes, I think that they're wanting people to feel that they don't know enough. I don't know enough. So the city's probably right on this kind of thing, right? So that's why we felt videos like we've created here would be to empower the people so that they can step up and say no. And when you go up and you go to an open house, we got the elections coming up in Calgary, but you can go up and you can cite page and verse about what is in the document, right? So that you don't, again, look like that tin hat conspiracy person, you can say no, it is right here and in plain sight for everybody to see. (59:42 - 1:00:26) Right. Now, I like to finish these sorts of interviews on a positive note, because we're giving people terrible news. First of all, I don't think they're going to get away with this, never have. As you say, people are pushing back. But one of the things that really convinces me that the whole globalist agenda around the climate alarmism is failing is what's happening with electric vehicles, because you were talking about that earlier, about having to build homes with electric vehicle capability. And yet what's happening is for the last several years, we've seen electric vehicle sales dropping steadily. So much so that not long ago, the federal government dropped the $5,000 subsidy for them, which has killed that market even further. People are figuring out they don't work. They're not reliable. They won't last as long. They're very expensive to run. And they're not helping the environment one bit. (1:00:27 - 1:03:03) No, absolutely. 100%. And I think that's one of the things that really probably irks me the most, and that I would probably encourage people to talk about is that these green vehicles, the green things they want people to do, like put solar panels on their house, because it's in this document, too. That's a way of, you know, reducing less carbon, is that these are not green. You know, in order to make them, what we have to do to get, for example, the cobalt, just one part of it for these on your house, you know, to go, what they have to do in order to dig up the minerals that are necessary to put these solar panels on, it, aside from some things like child labor, that's happening in these countries, that these are not green. You know, coal is a big, is a big part of, of these solar panels as well. So they're not, these are not green initiatives that, sure, in the end, maybe do they do they work in the green way that people want, but in order to get them made, they certainly are not. So yeah, so those are some of the, these little things are some of the ways that people could go and talk and push back and say, you know, you say this within your document, and this is what you would like to do, but do you know how much the earth has to be pillaged in order to get these minerals that are needed in order to create such things? Right. Renée, thank you so much for all the research you've done. There will be a link, if you're watching this on the IronWire website, there will be a link directly beneath this to all four of those videos. And there's things that people can do to get involved. You're with Action for Canada. People can join and work together. Yes? Yes, 100%. That's our goal is to empower people. We encourage people to join up. We do have weekly meetings if people like to do that. But I mean, even if not, if you're, I know people are, some people are quite involved with many things. We try to put out really, really good informative videos for people just to educate themselves, to empower them to be able to speak, to speak to people who are unaware of such things and that they are going on. Right. So once again, that link will be in this interview as well, the Action for Canada link. So you can go there, you can sign up with them. Renée, thank you so much for your time today, for all the research you've done. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me on. We really, really appreciate it. You are such a great voice for freedom. And so we appreciate being able to bring this to you as well. Thank you so much.
