In that war the Canadian oil sands has been the main front for over a decade. It has been the object of the world’s environmentalists’ most sustained crusade. It will not take a Jeopardy sage to guess which national government has been most avidly the champion of the cause. The Trudeau government, with its acute ambition to be seen as the whitest of the white knights in the combat against the Great Warming to come, its patent yearning to be seen as a, or the, major player in the great cause, has made the fight against what it calls climate change its most public and urgent endeavour. Global warming has, for all intents, replaced peacekeeping as Canada’s bid for global stature.
…
The Trudeau government vastly overestimates and overpraises the power of “our example to the world.” This is quite natural. Every author is the ideal reviewer of his own book. But to earn even that dubious international status, look at the costs at home. Canada’s carbon tax, and its high zeal for the cause, cannot, in any substantial way, change the equations of the world’s atmosphere. We are incidental to the problem, if indeed it is a problem. Whatever Canada does, or does not do, will not accelerate the crisis or diminish it, in any way that is meaningful.
And they’d be one helluva lot happier if the cidiots would stop voting for the freakin’ socialists.
Toronto has got its residents down in the dumps, according to a study that says people who live in rural areas are happier than those in urban areas.
PS—Torontonians please don’t move to the country and bring your diseased liberalism with you.
