The real problem is not Zain Haq.

Haq is the climate activist just deported back to Pakistan for violating his Canadian student visa requirements. He started attending Simon Fraser University in the fall of 2019 but apparently got distracted when he took part in a large Extinction Rebellion protest on Vancouver’s Burrard Bridge in October that year.
Haq’s studies were soon secondary to his Extinction Rebellion activism, and he became the local spokesperson for that movement. He has been arrested about a dozen times. He was sentenced to 14 days in jail in February 2022, and according to Breaker News the BC Supreme Court judge involved voiced concerns about Haq’s intentions:
Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick acknowledged Haq said members of Extinction Rebellion are non-violent, but she said aspects relating to Haq were “concerning,” including comments he made to the Vancouver Sun about the potential for violence stemming from the pipeline.
“He refers to ‘forcing government change’. He refers to the government actions as being ‘treason’. These are very troubling comments, in my view,” Fitzpatrick said.
A National Post article discussed Haq’s support for David Suzuki’s famous November 2021 statement at an Extinction Rebellion event where that beloved celebrity-environmentalist said: There are going to be pipelines blown up if our leaders don’t pay attention to what’s going on.
The National Post story includes:
But talking about pipelines being “blown up” during a protest organized by illiberal activists known for disregarding the rule of law was sure to be taken by some as an incitement to violence. And indeed, the response by Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Zain Haq included thinly veiled threats against pipelines, politicians and journalists.
“Not only will pipelines be blown up, but we can be certain that world leaders will be put on trial for treason or worse — be killed,” said Haq. “Although Extinction Rebellion activists are non-violent, we cannot control the actions of those outside of this movement who may commit acts of violence. The same goes for the media. When the Canadian public realizes that the press has been misleading them about how the climate emergency is being addressed, you can be sure that some people will become violent.”
He was basically channelling a Hollywood mob boss saying, “I wouldn’t lay a finger on you, but I can’t speak for my associates over here.” That Suzuki would attach his name to a group like this shows just how far even mainstream environmentalists have swung.
3 months later, an extremely disturbing axe attack on Coastal GasLink pipeline security staff in their vehicles took place. About $20 million in equipment damage was also caused. Were the unknown anarchists behind this violence influenced by Suzuki and Haq?
A Rebel News video of a subsequent protest (August 2022) organized by Haq and his now-wife, Sophie Papp, provides an example of the sort of people they attract. The polite reporter attempting to cover the march was menaced by various protesters several times, including this threatening in-your-face rant:
Protester: Why the fuck are you here? Why don’t you fuck off. Here (gives the double finger), there’s for your fuckin’ membership, there’s for your Rebel News. Go fuck yourself lady. Go fuck yourself, go fuck yourself. Would you like me to turn it up, here you go, go fuck yourself. If you’re no fucking friend to native people, go fuck off.
Reporter (black indigenous woman): I am native.
Protester: Fuck off. Stop playin’ that fuckin’ race card. Fuck you.
Haq is seen standing next to the man, trying unsuccessfully to calm him down, but maybe that guy is just one of those that protest organizers cannot control the actions of … who may commit acts of violence. It’s not Haq’s fault, right?
At about the same time as the axe attack, and just prior to his February 2022 sentencing, Haq was interviewed by Global Citizen, explaining that getting arrested was all part of the plan. He stated:
We’re going to hit five to 10 different roadblock points going forward, at least three times a week, with a goal of 200 arrests over four weeks.
The expectation is that we won’t win with 200 arrests, though you never know, but the goal is to build enough momentum so we can create this really big third iteration so we can have 2,000 arrests. We had 54 arrests last month, and we paused, and now we’re mobilizing and recruiting and we’ll have 200 arrests in the second iteration. We’ll pause again for a month.
Two thousand people going to prison — that's the plan. It’s very strategic. It’s thought out step by step.
So, breaking the law and making a mockery of jail time was the prime strategy. However, this grand scheme didn’t evolve much given that Haq appears to have been lying low while the deportation net tightened around him.
In April of 2023 he married co-activist, Sophie Papp, whose résumé includes pouring molasses over the Gastown Steam Clock to symbolize oil damage. A news piece from Capital Daily chronicles the couple’s activism exploits and deportation issues, then provides the obvious rationale for what was no doubt a strategic union:
During all this, Haq and Papp decided to get married in the hopes that it would secure permanent residency for Haq. A year has passed since applying for spousal support and their case is still pending.
In-person protest would seem to have been set aside since 2023, but what about behind-the-scenes? Given that Haq is on the Board of Advisors of Climate Emergency Fund, an American organization that sponsors Extinction Rebellion and other disruptive activism, it is likely that he was still covertly operating.
This is the real problem:
Climate Emergency Fund Glitterati (and Zain Haq)
Climate Emergency Fund was founded in 2019 by Rory Kennedy (daughter of the late politician Robert Kennedy), with seed money from Aileen Getty (granddaughter of the late oil baron J. Paul Getty). A third founder, Trevor Neilson, left the organization because the Fund’s grant policy was changed to require that recipients use the monies received for disruptive (illegal) activity.
Rory Kennedy is the Hollywood Royal of the foundation, living the Malibu lifestyle and producing movies along with a cohort of other chosen ones. Like most world-elites, Climate Change restraints are for the masses, not her. Did you know that a 2006 UCLA Study found that the movie industry was responsible for about 8 million metric tons of CO2 annually in metropolitan Los Angeles alone? Would that amount now be 16 million?
It is also of interest to Canadians that another Climate Emergency Fund Director, Geralyn Dreyfous, is in charge of the film production company Impact Partners, which financed the Academy Award nominated documentary Sugarcane. The film is about alleged abuses in the late1950s at the Cariboo Residential School. It outrageously suggests-as-fact that priests routinely raped school girls and if they became pregnant, their babies were then thrown into an incinerator.
This disgusting misrepresentation of indigenous treatment in Canada is simply false, and Dreyfous knows it. Ed Archie NoiseCat was the baby found in the unlit garbage burner, left there by his 20 year old mother (school attendance ended at age 16) who was living about an hour away on the Canim Lake reserve. It was later found that she had become pregnant by a man named Ray Peters from the Skatin tribe, not a priest. For greater detail check out: The Bitter Roots of "Sugarcane"
As reported in the Williams Lake Tribune, the mother went to jail because of the child abandonment:
Instead of receiving an Academy Award, Dreyfous should be investigated for her role in promoting lies and fomenting hatred towards Canada.
Back to hypocritical activism. Let’s cut through the BS, disruptive protest = breaking the law and Climate Emergency Fund is all about those means-to-an-end. The Fund’s Case Statement sets out that evil society must be made to pay the price for their wicked behaviour:
Disruptive nonviolent protest has many unique characteristics that make it more impactful than other methods of advocacy. By disrupting business-as-usual, protesters can inflict a tangible cost on climate villains for their crimes in the form of lost profits, or on political leaders for their inaction in the form of damaged reputation. The costs imposed by disruption allow protesters to directly exert hard power in a way that no other tactic can, making their actions impossible to ignore.
Using Pakistani national Zain Haq to move monies cross-border into Canada for criminal purpose, Climate Emergency Fund played a game of American foreign interference and subversion. In order to get those funds, Haq had to agree that he would use them for (illegal) disruption of the Canadian economy and society. As well, and true for any Hollywood publicity campaign, the drama involved must attract significant media attention:
In early 2022, Climate Emergency Fund established an internal policy to only fund groups that engage in or directly support disruptive tactics. The performance of our grantees before and after we implemented this “disruption-only” criteria clearly demonstrates the narrative power of disruptive protest. For all forms of measurement, disruptive grantees received greater than 10x the press coverage than non-disruptive grantees.
Just like in their movies, portrayal of doom and the existential dread it causes the audience, is another insidious aspect of their intent:
If bold climate policy is to be passed, millions of people will need to transition from feeling like things are “normal” to feeling like the world is ending. Perhaps the fastest way to bring about that large-scale shift in consciousness is for people to see thousands upon thousands of people acting as though the world is ending by participating in disruptive protest.
Additionally, the Case Statement clarifies that Climate Emergency Fund intends to manipulate election results:
Even when disruptive protest groups do not secure short-term material victories, the positive impacts of their protests can still manifest in other ways. For example, many researchers have found that protests are very effective at securing election outcomes aligned with the interests of protesters.
This seditious conspiracy of Hollywood heirs, who likely have never held a basic job, believe they know what’s best for Canada and the rest of the planet. Brainwashed by their own self-importance, they are an ongoing danger to economic development and civic peace in our country.
The Zain Haq’s of the world are dime-a-dozen. He deserves his removal from Canada, but another courier-pawn will just take his place. The real menace are the hypocritical US foundations that only exist because of past fortunes made in the oil industry, and that are sustained by equity portfolios still dependent on vast quantities of oil.
Oil fortune guilt haunts those wealthy inheritors, motivating their superficial save-the-world virtue. Smugly, they light the fuse of aggressive anarchy from the comfort of their empires, and the Climate Emergency Fund is a particularly egregious example of this because their financial support is specifically predicated on breaking the law, worldwide.
The spoiled brats of the Hollywood film industry are shaming and weakening Canada with cinematic lies like the fakecumentary Sugarcane, while inciting criminal actions using paid-puppet-radicals. We have been an easy target because our left-leaning governments don’t seem to want to follow-back the trail of abetment and shut down dirty funding from these eco-cartels. Perhaps they also believe … that protests are very effective at securing election outcomes aligned with the interests of protesters.
A video was uploaded of the perpetrators of the Coastal Gaslink axe attack and taken down pretty quickly. They didn't seem at all concerned that anyone would determine their identities from the video. It was a group of local natives. No investigation was done on that attack, as far as was made public anyway. If Sugarcane wins a (very undeserving) Oscar watch for Sellars to be out stumping for more taxpayer dollar compensation for fictitious babies in incinerators. It will not be good. The supporters of Sugarcane should be held accountable for their role in this largely fictitious account. Deport whatshisname. And all his buddies who are here illegally.
