Everything you own that is not metal or wood is a "fossil fuel" product.

No more promoting solar panels or wind turbines, those are fossil fuel products.

And there's a 99% chance the metal and wood products were created and transported using fossil fuels. They're aren't many products created by hand tools and shipped by horse these days.

This can backfire greatly. It says "promote a fossil fuel or the production of a fossil fuel in a manner that is false "

You can post something true, like fossil fuels help plant growth or that fossil fuel are not likely to run out in the near future and then take them to court.

Lol, this is pretty naive. It's Canada court system. You'll present your evidence that fossil fuels help plant growth. The judge will listen. Then the judge will say you're wrong. Voila. You're now in prison.

This of course assumes a court system that isn't overtly malicious, which I don't expect from Canada or any other nation at this point.

Didn't even have to read the Bill...

It's false promotion, ie lying about fossil fuels to sell them. It's in the image...

That's a whole other can of worms, but making stuff up just makes them (and us) look stupid.

It's Canada though. Their idea of falsehood or wrong is blatantly out of touch. If I wrote that "vaseline is good for burns and other injuries provided you've received approval from your physician" that's a good chance that would violate the bill.

Why does there need to be a law about lying in advertising specifically fossil fuels? Lying in advertising, to a certain extent, is already illegal. It's called fraud.

Don't fall for the bullshit. They want to make a special law so they can abuse it.

This is Canada, where saying that the mRNA injections increase the likelyhood of getting infected by a coronavirus, a documented fact, is considered ''covid and antivax misinformation''.
