This is what Canada elected? No wonder the Canadian Liberal Party had to call on the US Democrat Party to get Justin elected... the Democrat Party does real well getting idiots into office.

Yes, and he's the best of what they've offered the past ten years.

Stéphane Dion
Michael Ignatieff

Trudeau may be declared the worst PM and party leader - even worse than the others on the list. Only because he was elected and was given the green light to display his incompetence. His handlers better get a grip on him - quick!

Well we know his handlers had to step aside and let the US Dems take over his campaign. Maybe the US Dems need to take over as his handlers as well. It is difficult to handle stupid by the DNC has made it an art form.

Nope. But because it's around Fort Mac, it's obviously because of global warming caused by Alberta's oil industry. Seriously, there's some pretty disgusting tweets by some pretty disgusting twits about this.

And so, in his usual fashion, Trudeau responded adroitly to the most awkward possible question of the hour, doing his best, which is pretty good, to deflect discussion in the National Press Theatre away from global warming and back to what’s being done to help a community that sure needs it.
So he's a chickensh*t for not allowing the press to derail the news conference? The immediate problem is how to help the people of Fort Mac, not get involved in some AGW goat f*ck.

Because he didn't want to be ridiculed and laughed out of the room

CO2 reduces combustion.

Here's where I have a big problem.... Fire extinguishers are filled to the brim with dangerous CO2.


Mother Nature is pummeling the Hell out of First Nations.


Wonder if Cliffy will be declaring that this is some form of karmic retribution for those folks

It isn't like the US doesn't still have some trees in the places that are headed for desertification, they fly away as heat and smoke.

'Of course' Fort McMurray fire linked to climate change, Elizabeth May says

The leader of Canada's Green Party said Wednesday climate change was partly to blame for the wildfire devastating Fort McMurray, Alta., touching off a debate about whether it was the right time to discuss the causes of the conflagration.

"Of course," Elizabeth May said Wednesday when asked if there was anything about the fire that is linked to global warming. "The temperature records were being smashed through last month for northern Alberta," she said, while noting that no single event is caused by climate change alone. "It's due to global emissions.

"Scientists will say we know with a destabilized climate, with a higher average global temperature, we will see more frequent, more extreme weather events ... due to an erratic climate, due to our addiction to fossil fuels."

Later, in a statement sent to reporters, May said she wasn't directly tying the Fort McMurray wildfire to climate change. "No credible climate scientist would make this claim, and neither do I make this claim," she said, while urging Canadians to take collective action to mitigate the impact of "extreme climate events."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to make a direct link between the fire — which has forced some 80,000 people out of their homes — and climate change, at least while the embers are still burning.

"It's well-known that one of the consequences of climate change will be a greater prevalence of extreme weather events around the planet, however any time we try to make a political argument out of one particular disaster I think there is a bit of a short cut that can sometimes not have the desired outcome.

"Pointing at any one incident and saying, 'Well this is because of that,' is neither helpful nor entirely accurate," he said. "What we are focussed on right now on is giving the people of Fort McMurray, and across Alberta, the kind of support that they need."

Cuz he's chicken ****?

Why didn’t Trudeau want to link the Fort Mac fire to climate change?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau obviously anticipated being asked at his news conference today about the connection between climate change and the forest fire that had already wreaked such devastation on Fort McMurray, Alta., and hadn’t yet burned out or been stopped.

And so, in his usual fashion, Trudeau responded adroitly to the most awkward possible question of the hour, doing his best, which is pretty good, to deflect discussion in the National Press Theatre away from global warming and back to what’s being done to help a community that sure needs it.

Still, he didn’t dispute the uncomfortable fact that climate experts have long seen more frequent, more intense fires in the boreal forest as an unavoidable result of global warming. “It’s well known that one of the consequences of climate change will be a greater prevalence of extreme weather events around the planet,” he said.

Trudeau argues against linking one disaster and climate change

Because he finally is starting to realize the truth on the stupidity of linking everything to climate change.
