Meet Maggie Hope Braun, the woman who’s transforming one local council at a time by exposing the global climate agenda infiltrating our Canadian towns and sucking millions of dollars out of fiscal budgets.
KICLEI stands for “Kicking the International Council Out of Environmental Initiatives”
Here’s a brief sample of what Kiclei offers, which they provide for free and by donation:
📌 Why are local governments quietly adopting global programs?
📌 What’s the hidden cost of “net-zero” at the municipal level?
📌 How can YOU get involved—and win?
Education. When councils are asked to spend millions on initiatives that reduce, say, 400 tonnes of CO2 annually, the public deserves context.
Here’s what 400 tonnes of CO₂ represents:
– 0.000069% of Canada’s annual emission
– 0.0000011% of global human emissions
– 0.000000019% of total CO₂ in Earth’s atmosphere
In other words: a drop in a vast atmospheric ocean.
Advocacy. We provide the tools, reports, and strategy to help you organize effectively and guide your municipality toward locally-driven solutions—without ICLEI, FCM pressure, or global policy frameworks. Lots of resources at kiclei.ca

We put our hearts and optimism into environmentalism with the belief that humans can be careful, wise stewards of this beautiful, life-giving planet. But over time, green solutions have been co-opted by vested interests and now we’re stuck inside a Truman Show—trying to make lifestyle changes, fervently believing the media and pinning our hopes on renewables, and nowhere near where we need to be. We’re awash in social conflict from gridlocked beliefs, the world becomes more unstable by the week, and the usual pirates are making fortunes. How in hell did we get here and why does “progress” keep going so wrong?
To begin to answer that, we need to recognize the repeating patterns. Capitalism’s biggest strengths are innovation and generating wealth. Pretty obvious, right? Less obvious are capitalism’s biggest weaknesses: the lack of care or foresight that all products will cause some degree of harm; they refuse to accept responsibility and make corrections when harm occurs; and pervasive greed.
“Experts”, scientists and respected members of the community endorse and push the latest thing.
It took years and many lawsuits to get the cigarette cartel to admit its products caused harm. And they’re still for sale.
Here’s a quick overview of the pattern as it pertains to renewables.
The climate change idea sparks. A group with money and power coalesce and research and development ensues. Renewable energy is launched and the story is formulated: EVs, wind and solar are going to be great for humanity, they’ll fix an important environmental problem and fill an urgent need. The media announces the new story and amplifies it everywhere.
What nature does is no longer good enough; industrial solutions are best. Any criticism or concern about the solutions are initially tolerated then gradually sidelined, ignored and silenced. As with the history of car culture, the renewable industry rapidly spreads. A great deal of money is invested by a great many EV, solar and wind companies, all heavily subsidized by government. People are employed, the green economy grows. The media reinforces that renewables will save us from the doom reinforced by the same media. Behind the scenes, Mark Carney’s GFANZ and the green finance cartel develop co2 taxation schemes. (link at the end of this post)
Reputable scientific sources are silenced and ignored. People now believe only the media.https://clintel.org/
As the pattern continues to unfold, so does a deterioration of trust. The public is never shown the nitty gritty so we have blind spots. We know nothing about the manufacturing process or the pollution it causes, what resources are necessary to make renewables, or even how they are transported around the globe—all of which require massive amounts of oil, gas and coal. New environmental harms brought by EVs, solar panels and wind farms are piling up on top of existing environmental harms from fossil fuels.
“The raw material for the solar panels is coal, with an average life of 11 years. This means that 11 tons of coal must be burned to make a solar panel – about 3000 pounds! The production process uses high temperatures and pressures.
The process of making the chemicals used in the production process creates dioxins. Dioxins can cause reproductive and developmental problems in humans and animals, damage to chromosomes, hormones, and immune systems, and some types even cause cancer.” (continued below)
The media does not tell us about solar farms abandoned because they weren’t profitable or solar panel garbage dumps. But they’ll broadcast a weather event to reinforce the gloom and doom.
“Solar panels also do not last forever – they have an average lifetime of 11 years. To produce 1 billion square meters of solar panels would require 2,000 million metric tons of coal – that’s 20 billion pounds! The energy to manufacture the panels, create the PVCs and dispose of them all cause pollution. So you are releasing poisonous chemicals into your environment and adding to global warming by the production process alone.”
At this point in the process, much of the public is so brainwashed they refuse to consider anything other than what they’re being told. Society is divided and we’re fighting among ourselves, which is convenient and planned, as we’ll soon see.
Solar panels cannot be recycled. Nor can wind turbines, another failed concept.
Has anybody mentioned that huge turbines are just being buried in massive landfills??
And we wonder why there’s so much mental illness and anxiety now. The media is largely responsible. And who owns the media, you might ask?Why, it’s the very same people who own everything, including renewable energy. Imagine that.
Which brings us to the climate pirates and their schemes.
He suddenly turns up on our humble shores professing uncharacteristic political ambition. Why? Mark Carney is a gold card member of the club of “elites”, a WEF darling, a finance bureaucrat his entire career. Winning down doesn’t suit him.
His first day as unelected Prime Minister, Mark Carney made a big deal of cancelling the carbon tax—an easy theft of his rival’s policy. The point was to hoover support away from the Conservatives and trick low-information voters into believing that Carney’s a fresh face and a bold fixer of problems made by the Trudeau Liberals.
Read on, because it’s not about Liberals or Conservatives, Carney and the “elites” could care less.
Canadians long ago stopped believing that carbon taxation is a meaningful solution to climate change. We’re getting more and more surly as costs increase and we watch, in slow motion, our standard of living sink below the horizon. We know, and Carney knows, that the carbon tax is a scam.
Here are the real reasons he wants to be Prime Minister.
In his real life, the one where he’s the United Nation’s climate czar, Carney and the globalist “green” capitalists have been trying to foist the U.N. climate agenda onto the banks. See this incredibly well researched article by Trish Wood. We, the billions, have turned out to be too snarly and hard to control; the green cartel wants the banking system to become the choke point for all Net Zero climate regulations.
How that would work, using a mortgaged home as an example. Paraphrasing independent BC journalist Odessa Orlewicz from her show, Liberty Talk Canada: In order to approve a mortgage, the bank would impose green upgrades as a pre-condition. The upgrades would cost a fortune. For those who already have a mortgage, when it comes time to renew, if you don’t comply with the mandatory upgrades, the assessed value of your home would drop, making it less desirable to future buyers who are also stuck inside the same paradigm. Say your home was worth $1 million but since you declined to upgrade to a heat pump (luckily, one of Carney’s companies sells those) then the value of your home would drop to $750 K because it’s not in climate compliance.
A very stinko plan that nobody can embrace, including banks. In Carney’s little red book of green finance, all banks will be climate-rated. If they fail to meet their quota of green mortgages, the bank’s rating will fall. But bankers just wanna keep driving that money train. Banks won’t be pushed into losing money (unless it can make money for them) and they don’t take to being cornered by legal liability. So some of the world’s biggest and most influential banks have been threatening to abandon Carney’s GFANZ plans.
Ooh, a big pothole dead ahead. Nevertheless, he will charge forward.
“We need a transition at the scale of the industrial revolution and at the speed of the digital transformation. For this to happen, a radical transformation of the financial system is required.”
— Mark Carney, UN Special Envoy on Climate Finance, speaking at WEF
Befitting the high status of “Special Envoy”, Carney has preached that the banks must be turned into One World Bank. A journalist opined: “At the Jackson Hole conference in August 2019, the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, argued that it is time to ween the world off its reliance on the US dollar and replace it with a new international monetary system. He eloquently argued that more thought should be given to creating a global electronic currency, which we call a ‘world wide currency’ (WWC), that could act as “synthetic hegemonic currency”, thus “dampen the domineering influence of the US dollar on global trade” (Financial Times 2019).
“Replace the US dollar”? I bet Trump would be delighted to hear that.
Delusions of grandeur: as soon as the One World Bank exists and the planet has been turned into the wonderful green heaven it simply could never accomplish all on its own, Carney and his fellow “elites” will become our masters in supreme wisdom. The “economy”, that singular entity, will magically unify and centralize. All of humanity will decide to live in perfect harmony. Jazzed by all the success, all warring will cease. World peace will finally reign. (And it goes without saying, social ills will have totally disappeared.) The era of true progress will be upon us.
Reality: the One World Bank and its “global electronic currency” will have humanity locked inside a digital gulag 24/7/365. The other name for that is Social Credit Scoring and China’s communist dictatorship is already doing it.
Let us not be gullible rubes. Carney is here to retool his strategy; he’s angling for respite and the opportunity to pivot. And gawd help us, if we give him power he will pivot. As fast as he can. Before the house of cards falls and all the investors turn on him, he will shove this hurting nation into the role of test pilot for global “radical transformation”.
