Article content Can we have a federal election this Thursday? Recommended Videos Or do we need to suffer through Justin Trudeau for a few weeks longer, as it takes a bit to organize something like that? It is one thing to have a certified activist such as Steven Guilbeault as minister of environment and climate change, but now the prime minister has truly lost it. How important is it to subvert our economy to a fight against climate change? More important than feeding our children, apparently. On tour in South American, he said, “It is really, really easy, when you are in a short-term survive (sic), I gotta be able to pay the rent this month.
I gotta be able to buy groceries for my kids, to say, ‘OK, let’s put climate change as a slightly lower priority.’ And that’s something that’s instinctive. When the storm comes, you want to hunker down and just sort of huddle up and wait for it to blow over.
We can’t do that around climate change. And unfortunately we have an awful lot of political amplification of the kind of narrative that is directly opposed to that.” Wow.
You think it is important to feed your children? Well, Justin has a message for you: It’s going to get even harder, Buster, because he is quite willing to jack up the carbon tax. He knows what the real priority is and it isn’t your kids. It isn’t your mortgage or rent.
As of April, the federal minimum tax was set at $80 per tonne of CO2 equivalent, set to increase to $170 in 2030. The carbon tax increases the price of everything and Trudeau is willing to hit you harder. If you and your kids cared about global warming the way he and Guilbeault do, you would train your little offspring to get along on twigs.
Perhaps your family could investigate the practice of breatharianism — the belief that a human can survive on air and light. No food required. Just like that cult, Trudeau is treating global warming like a religion.
He is a carbon-taxifarian. RECOMMENDED VIDEO No matter how important one thinks the global warming issue is, one would have to admit that we could take Canada’s economy back to subsistence farming, with mules pulling plows, chickens in the back 40 for eggs and meat, making our own clothes out of birch bark, and we would need the Hubble telescope to see the difference we would make in global carbon. Take 50 fat guys, a couple of kegs of beer and a swimming pool.
Let them stay in the pool, peeing their way through the day. Put a three-year-old by himself in the shallow end with a sippy cup. Then tell the youngster he’s the problem with the water quality.
That is Trudeau’s approach to us in terms of carbon. He’ll send junior to bed with no supper. If he really believed in what he is saying — that climate change is the existential crisis of our time — he’d do Zoom meetings with his pals in South America rather than jet-setting around the world, as he so often does.
His time is more than up. He got one thing right. We do have narrative that is directly opposed to that.
I think there is another guy who would axe the tax..
