The head of the United Nations announced the appointment Thursday of an expert panel led by Catherine McKenna, Canada's former environment minister.

McKenna, 50, represented the Liberal Party in the riding of Ottawa Centre. After a 2019 cabinet shuffle, she served as minister of infrastructure and communities, before deciding to bow out of federal politics ahead of last year's election.

"We need to drive trillions of dollars from the private sector to help build the infrastructure we need, low-carbon infrastructure," she said in the same interview. The panel will publish another report early next week that is expected to confirm that the world is not on track to meet the goal of capping temperature rise at 1.5 degrees C by the end of the century, which was laid down in the 2015 Paris climate accord."If we don't see significant and sustained emissions reductions this decade, the window of opportunity to keep 1.5 alive will be closed — forever," said Guterres. "And that will be disaster for everyone.

Global warming the new pandemic

So we've redefined 'expert' to mean dunce? When did that happen?

Oh yeah, another WEF store :/

She should be an expert on greenwashing as her idea of going electric on all cars. She never responded a question about where the Lithium batteries are going to be disposed once they go dry.

OddZombie Great!

Climate Barbie!!!! The woman is a leech.

So she was picked for her ability to “greenwash”?

The entire 'green initiative' is greenwashed. Global warming happens with or without human interaction. Stopping it is impossible as this was set in motion once the last ice age came to an end. Since then the earth has warmed at a rate of 1 degree per year since that time.

No one can trust her.

Hate That woman

🤦🏻‍♂️

She lost billions of dollars

All canadians should be disappointed by this. cathmckenna had been raised to her level of incompetence b/c we didnt want to deal with her failure, she wasted Cdn $, lets move her onto a larger job.

The liberal government are not credible for oversight. In Ontario forest are deforested for corn fields but no carbon charge, but you can get carbon credit for planting trees. We need some AI as this is just a smoke show.

This appointment approved by Klaus Schwab and the WEF. Right Liberal Broadcasting Corporation? You support this whole German dictatorship thing, don't you?

TedBlades Got in there a little early with the April Fools content? Well, to be fair she would certainly have plenty of experience spotting it. But less perhaps in calling it out. Turning over a new leaf?

More wasted money, Who cares!!

April Fools right?

Spare us!

After her appalling financial record where she couldn’t account for was it millions or billions of $$$ …. This has to be an April fools joke …….Hopefully ?

She would know 'greenwashing'.

Expert?

Congratulations Catherine.

April Fool's

She's a former politician and far from an expert. The UN is doing itself no favours and risks another credibility problem.

She is highly disliked in Canada. Now the world can experience her grace.

If she’s the “head” of the expert panel then it’s no wonder the UN has lost legitimacy.

WhereIsTheMoneyCatherine? 🇨🇦🤡🌎

April Blonde Barbie FOOL including CBC for reporting.. WHAT about MP's pay increase today - no mention Fools

cathmckenna you are so deserving of this position. I can’t think of a better Canadian to fill the role. Ignore all the negative noise.

They must have money they want to disappear

This is the second April Fools joke posted today

Watch her work her magic. Disappear the UN budget and forget where she spent the money!

Someone tell the UN they better watch their account balances if she's around.

بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي ولو آيَةً… صدق رسول الله ﷺ قناة قرآني نبض قلبي فيها آيات مكرره لتسهيل الحفظ مع تفسير صوتي للتدبر🤲 إشترك بالقناة و شارك لنتشارك الأجر يوم القيامه باذن الله🤲

CathMcKenna ’s claim to fame is banning straws that actually work and in a drunken moment of truth admitting if you repeat a lie enough, people will totally believe it. Oh yeah, she once ate a puppy and attended a child bride wedding.

Oh Gosh! Not that stupid woman! How do you get a rational result from a dyed-in-the-wool environmental freak-out?

Congrats Catherine

cathmckenna Exorbitant Privilege, institutionalized grift and graft. Why your children and grandchildren will never enjoy a better life than you.

She's either corrupt or incompetent since she lost billions without explanation maybe that bought her the seat on this un panel since they are both corrupt and incompetent as well

Oh my from the woman who lost billions of dollars and brags about lying. What a world

Climate Barbie strikes again.

A clown to run the circus

She cannot lead that panel.

Is this real or satire?

If you repeat it, if you say it louder, people will totally believe it!

cathmckenna Must be an April Fool‘s joke

Great!!!! Giver her more money to lose. Just makes perfect sense!

Canadians should be very proud of the leadership Catherine has demonstrated on climate change.

Credible Likely should have credible people doing this no Show us the money Catherine!

Maybe the panel can have their meetings at 'Tooney's Pasture'

This must be a April fools joke

Worst possible person. Spent oil tanker sized loads of cash and refuses to account for where it went. Canadian media never mentions her failings, because they are paid to support the Liberals.

She is incompetent - This is unacceptable. Get Suzuki's bomb maker now. What a JOKE, Catherine is!

Where did she wash all that green from infrastructure? You know, the billions she can’t account for? greenwashing TMX ClimateCrisis Hypocrisy cdnpoli cdnmedia

What happened to the infrastructure money under her watch?

Catherine McKenna is toxic. She better have a peddle bike to go from business to business. She claims that fossil fuels are the reason for climate change. Not once admitting over population and natural progression of the earth’s life cycle.

Climate bimbo

cathmckenna So unqualified for this plum post is McKenna, the UN again demonstrates its irrelevance in anything to do with important global initiatives. As environment minister, she accomplished nothing, as infrastructure minister she in left in scandal after losing $Billions cdnpoli

Landback.

Thankfully all this climate BS and woke crap will be done with soon. People are catching on to the cults, and are tired of them.

She should know exactly what to look for. She greenwashed the Liberal governments climate change “achievements” for six years.

Another Puppet

What a waste of time. And CBC finds this interesting. So will the left wing Media.

Another one to be bought

She bought a pipeline.

That tells you everything you need to know about the standards of the United Nations.

Wow. Talk about the WRONG person for the job. climatebarbie

I assume you’re on the panel as well jkenney ? You’ve got lots of experience at say, scrutinizing……

One crook investigating other criminals, sounds like this would work.

Great news :) Congrats cathmckenna you will rock this!

She didn’t hit her targets in carbon reduction… why is SHE in charge?

🤣🤣🤣🤣💸💸💸💸

What punishment does her highness dole out for the crime of greenwashing?

Is she an expert because she greenwashed 187 billion?

The experts are coming....lol

Of course, now cathmckenna is feeding at the UN trough. She couldn’t account for billions of Canadian taxpayer’s money, now she will spend UN member’s dough. She is a parasite.

Hey UN you'd better hope that this role doesn't have a budget, Cathy will make that money disappear. She's a prime example of the Peter Principle where an incompetent individual keeps getting promoted.

Lock your puppies up...

Catherine McKenna on a UN expert panel? I guess Saudi Arabia is on the Women's Rights Council, so why not? 🤣🤣🤣

Why is a non-expert leading the panel of so-called experts, being a liberal don't make anyone an expert, it makes them an idiot.

I'm really not believing in the integrity of this person. I've checked out long agoooo

The climate will balance itself, like our budget. Sheesh🤪🤡

Just what is needed at this time, someone who knows nothing

Bet she do3snt talk about this fact…

They certainly chose the right person to lead that expert panel Catherine McKenna certainly qualifies, good to see her still acting in that capacity.

No words..expert?

Maybe the group can go find all the money she can’t account for .

UN scraping the bottom of the barrel for experts

Heaven help us

So this is why she attended the Climate Change conference a while ago. Some people wondered why she was there and if she was on the tax payers dollar.

Very good

Great I hope she can do us all proud.

Good choice.

Anyway we can get Catherine to scrutinize whether or not it’s actually Trudeau that’s doing the ‘greenwashing’?

Where is she gonna take the 600 b from this time

Sooooo true!!!!

Well, that's definitely going to make things easier for the pipeline companies...

This is a joke right?

I would really like to know what this person accomplished. Over 500 million dollars in infrastructure money that was never accounted for and was covered up. McKenna is another one of Trudeau’s unaccomplished MP’s that done nothing for Canadians other than lip service.

Welp, she's certainly an expert in greenwashing. Is this like when the police hire former car thieves to advise them or when tech firms hire hackers?

Lololololol!

Who fuckin’ cares what Climate Change Barbie thinks

Check her airline flights

Wow! Big news.

OMG, is the same woman who said there was going to be violence and shootings in downtown Ottawa because of the freedom rally and they had guns...but nothing happened, no violence no guns...how can anyone trust this things judgement? She couldn't book Lassie into a dog show FFS!

First Class travel!

So is she getting rid of the greatest greenwashing of them all, the carbon offset bank? This is the most ridiculous idea if you truly believed that CO2 was the climate control knob since it cancels out any CO2 reduction all for a price. David Suzuki & Al Gore are big on this.$$$$

We are ruled by komissars.

This came out a day early. April fools is tomorrow.

To the UN accountant: 1.Check her expenses 2.If funding for projects is required, ask for as much details as possible.Let her be accountable! 3.Check her private flights (she was used to it) + reasons 4.Don't trust her and double check everything WhereIsTheMoneyCatherine

This will certainly the view that the UN is not a credible body.

God help us

An expert , qualifications please to be designated an Expert Mckenna Ottawa

Horrible

And then what? A good finger-wagging?

😂😂😂😂😂😂Crap

Soft landing

She should know since the entire liberal platform is based on green washing and virtue signalling.

All credibility is gone with Barbie in the ranks

Really ? Did any of the former environment ministers policies have any impact on the amount of emmissions ? After 5 yrs. the level of emmissions didn't change and the consumption of fossil fuels has not changed .

This is not a job for any one person to do.

Our Prime Minister has been greenwashed into thinking he can tax Canadians into believing that will help climate change.

Hahahhahahah

Expert panel in forensic accounting of missing billions in infrastructure money?!

She’s bad. Monster
