All that makes it sound like he's a bad guy for lying and having one standard for himself and another for everyone else.View attachment 17248
The intent is to make sure that politicians who enact climate emergency measures for residents are “walking the walk,” Fontaine said Wednesday.
Climate Change: New Westminster mulls public declaration of carbon footprint for elected officials — Vancouver Sun
Councillor Daniel Fontaine suggests voluntary declaration that tallies councillors' carbon emissions, such as how many plane trips they took or how they travelled to work.apple.news
“As I was filling out my financial disclosure form, it just got me thinking ‘why, if we’re under a climate emergency, are we not requesting our civic leaders to also report on our carbon emissions?’ Because while it is important to know what businesses I have shares in, I think it is equally as important to know whether I drive a Hummer or take five or six trips to Europe a year,” he said.

For example, Trudeau flew to Victoria, B.C., to promote his government’s budget and push the need to lower carbon emissions. The next day he was doing the same in Edmonton, Alberta, and then on Wednesday, he was in Laval, Que.
All of this is perfectly normal. However, what isn’t normal is how Trudeau turned around and flew across the country again to Vancouver, so he could spend part of the Easter weekend skiing in Whistler.
This isn’t about Trudeau taking a vacation; everyone, including politicians, is entitled to downtime with family, even in the middle of a world crisis. It’s good for the soul, it’s reinvigorating, and leaves you recharged when you get back to work.
The problem here is that if Trudeau really believed his own words, he would have rearranged this tour to go from Laval to Edmonton to Vancouver and then driven up the highway to the slopes at Whistler. Instead, he’s flying across the country again.
It becomes difficult to believe Trudeau, to take him seriously when his words and actions are worlds apart. It’s almost like he believes there is one set of rules for people at the top like him and another for the rest of us.

After flying to Victoria to discuss reducing emissions, Trudeau flew back across Canada to Montreal before zipping back to Whistler to ski.torontosun.com
Let’s not forget that Trudeau hiked the carbon tax last April 1, as well, and the annual April Fools Carbon Tax increase is coming again soon.
Of course, little people pay the carbon tax, for themselves and for Trudeau’s travels. He doesn’t pay and won’t notice any cost increase, it just gets passed on to us.
But the real criminals in this are the people who voted for him and continue to allow him to do this with no punishment.
And it's too late now - even if he's voted out at this point he has been in power long enough to reap the benefits and will be rich for the rest of his life if he does nothing more than speaking tours and running his 'charity'. There's nothing you can do to him to really punish him at this point.
Those people are terrible people, but will go to their graves believing they did the right thing because if they hadn't someone bad would have gotten in.
