Anyway, back to Trudeau’s handpicked replacement coronation tomorrow, Canada is teetering on the verge of plunging headlong into a state of political anomaly unique among large and sophisticated countries.
Mainstream Canadian conservatism abhors change, even when change is desperately needed

We appear to be about to elevate to the de facto position of interim prime minister someone who would then be one of the last government leaders of serious countries still urging backbreaking public sacrifices to eliminate fossil fuel use and thus strangle into painful extinction our greatest industry (petroleum) and the key to the economic prosperity of Canadians over the next 50 years.
Everybody in the world is opposed to the pollution of the world’s air and water, and to that extent, everyone in the world is a conservationist. But the advocates of the abolition of the oil and gas industry, even though natural gas is a relatively clean fuel (as is nuclear energy), are not seeking a realistic balance between the economic welfare of the population and the security of the environment.
They take no account of the fact that the leading offenders of their perfectionist standards of avoidance of carbon use — China, India and Russia, in particular — consider all of these climate change warnings to be unmitigated rubbish and make virtually no concessions to them whatever (
They didn’t mention Brazil or South Africa in the BRICS nations above).
Even the greatest alarmist only claims a 1.1 C rise in temperature in the last 145 years. The electorates of the United States, Italy and most recently Germany have imposed a course correction on the public policy of their countries.
Historians will eventually unearth how it happened that the Canadian Liberal party, starting with Stéphane Dion, fastened on to the green terror as a method of frightening and uplifting the Canadian electorate into supporting them, put the country into an economic straight jacket.
The media and corporate Canada, terminally afflicted with faddishness and docility, became parrots, agents and denunciators, promoting all forms of wokeism, but above all, the self-punitive pursuit of an immaculate environment.
But it's not necessarily Canadians, or even adults, deciding who will become our country's next leader

Mark Carney, Trudeau’s favoured candidate is to gain the federal liberal leadership this weekend, wants to spend another $80 billion a year in hot pursuit of climate perfectionism; he is a messiah of climate alarm and touts this not only as the path to safety, but as ”a huge opportunity.” So, in its worrisome way, is suicide.
The coming election is shaping up to be a choice between self-destruction and future prosperity
