Why is Canada's climate strategy focused only on domestic emissions?
Well, that's the way Liberals do things. They target the softest target possible. Somebody goes on a shooting spree; they attack the people who follow the rules, and then take away their hunting rifles and disable them from protecting their homes with a handgun. We all know that the guy who went on the shooting spree bought his guns illegally from the source, smuggling, which we have virtually ignored, but they need to look like they are doing something.
Liberals look at us (average Canadians) like we are peasants, and I'm not talking about the people who vote Liberal. I am talking about Liberalism straight out of Quebec. Remember, "You can't put the money in their pockets; they'll blow it on popcorn and beer." It would seem that Canada has an inferiority complex in that we want so very badly to be taken seriously on the world stage and loved by the cesspool known as the United Nations. This was demonstrated this week by us turning our back on Israel.
I argued about this carbon tax boondoggle on this Forum back in the day when Paul Martin fell on Jean Chretien's Sword. I remember the mantra, "It will help slow down the warming planet. People will change their actions just like cigarettes!" I called BS then, and I'm calling BS now. On a cultural level, Justin Trudeau's Liberals have taken the George W. Bush mantra, "You're with us or you're with the Climate Deniers, the Anti-vaxxers, the Transphobic, the Misogynistic, blah blah blah. If we are talking about climate, Justin Trudeau's Liberals have significantly changed Canada's climate. We went from an open society that welcomed everyone to McCarthyism. That discussed sensitive issues and didn't always agree, but discussed nonetheless.
There is no healthy discussion, there is no debate, and if are brave or fool enough to say this in public, you will face a mob out to destroy you. During SNC Lavalin scandal, I posed a question to the PM's Twitter account, and his keyboard commandos found my website and systematically attacked me until I relented. That's right, I relented because they were going to start shit with my publisher, and in the end, I would be the loser. I needed only look at J.K. Rowling, who the press now vilifies as anti-trans when all she did was insist that a woman and a trans woman are completely different. That's what she said; she's received death threats and was labeled transphobic.
The people who came after me were Justin Trudeau supporters, and the threats they made were unnerving.
The Prime Minister stood in front of a microphone and said, "If Jody had a problem, she should have come to me." She told him nine times that this was a bad idea. I asked him on Twitter, "How many times did Jody say, 'No?'"
We are truly being held hostage in Canada, by the Liberals and the NDP. Our military is in ruin, picked over by Trudeau and his cronies then burned for a billion dollars. They engineered and built the tent cities, the victimhood, the McCarthyism, and the only ones they are truly punishing are the peasants. Us.
