00:00:00.000 Michael Moore gets crucified for doing some research on green energy.
00:00:04.120 Canadians still believe that paying a tax will change the weather,
00:00:07.520 and Elizabeth May is Elizabeth May.
00:00:10.920 This is Canada Now. I'm Greg Wycliffe.
00:00:13.920 Iconic filmmaker Michael Moore endorsed a new documentary last month.
00:00:17.480 Moore is known for his hard-hitting progressive documentaries.
00:00:20.220 However, this new film, Planets of the Humans,
00:00:22.480 was critical of a staple of progressive politics, the green energy movement.
00:00:27.100 Immediately after its release, the progressive mob viciously denounced the film,
00:00:31.080 whining like a bunch of four-year-olds who want their toy back.
00:00:34.100 There were some thoughtful environmentalists who did take the time to break down the film's valid and invalid criticisms,
00:00:39.240 but everybody else grabbed their pitchforks,
00:00:41.720 calling for the outright ban of the film and demanding Michael Moore be burned at the stake.
00:00:45.880 In this case, burning biomass was absolutely justified.
00:00:49.660 Grifters of the green energy movement and so-called experts were calling the film dangerous,
00:00:54.120 full of lies and controversial.
00:00:55.720 Why is the information in this film so controversial?
00:00:58.940 Well, it makes references to reality.
00:01:02.540 And as we all know, reality does not mix well with the fairytale narrative
00:01:06.660 that they use to try and sell us utopian garbage.
00:01:09.720 The film makes the case that solar and wind energy still has a ways to go
00:01:13.020 before being a feasible replacement for fossil fuels.
00:01:15.720 It goes on to explain the massive amounts of fossil fuels it takes to mine, build, and maintain
00:01:20.560 these renewable technologies.
00:01:21.900 This was disappointing news for devout followers of the green religion.
00:01:25.880 Despite what their high priests and priestesses have been preaching,
00:01:28.940 apparently completely transforming our energy infrastructure and our way of life
00:01:32.840 is not as simple as the three little pigs.
00:01:35.680 You don't have to look far in Canada to see examples of renewable energy failures.
00:01:39.980 Last month, the provincial governments of Nova Scotia wrote off a $48 million investment
00:01:45.060 in failed wind tower manufacturing.
00:01:47.900 Why?
00:01:48.280 Well, after two years, there were no sales.
00:01:51.400 No sales?
00:01:52.680 That's weird.
00:01:53.660 Because the bourgeoisie environmentalists tell me there's lots of people in the market
00:01:57.340 for 300 feet tall, 56 ton wind turbines.
00:02:01.060 Are you telling me all these Canadian peasants just want a working furnace and a tank of gas?
00:02:06.440 They probably don't even have the new iPhone.
00:02:10.340 Another critique of the green energy movement is that it's largely supported by government subsidies.
00:02:16.320 In other words, the natural market forces of supply and demand don't exist.
00:02:21.060 They're created artificially by government subsidies.
00:02:23.500 And when this happens, as Michael Moore's film points out,
00:02:26.980 massive organizations that already make billions of dollars
00:02:30.340 and are already responsible for lots of pollution
00:02:32.880 swoop in to pick up those fat, green government subsidy checks.
00:02:37.820 Because, well, the environment, you guys.
00:02:41.960 Okay, Enbridge, if you say so.
00:02:44.640 This is exactly what's happened in Ontario.
00:02:47.380 According to an analysis by the Consumer Policy Institute,
00:02:49.960 90% of a $1.9 billion green energy subsidy
00:02:54.240 has gone to only 11 different massive corporations.
00:02:57.760 Meanwhile, the price of hydro has gone up for everybody in Ontario.
00:03:01.900 Why does the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
00:03:05.160 The environment, you guys.
00:03:08.100 And you might say,
00:03:08.800 Greg, Shell and Chevron, they're going green.
00:03:11.760 They're cleaning up their acts.
00:03:12.840 Didn't you see that Al Gore documentary?
00:03:15.580 Listen, if you don't think there's a lot of money to be made
00:03:19.060 manipulating scientific research as it pertains to the energy industry,
00:03:23.080 the one industry that directly and indirectly profits off of all human behavior,
00:03:29.460 well, you're just adorable.
00:03:31.860 At the end of Michael Moore's film,
00:03:33.960 he alluded to part of the solution to be population control.
00:03:37.780 Too many kids, too many people.
00:03:40.040 Many bloodthirsty climate activists agree with this point.
00:03:44.260 You see, when it comes to population control,
00:03:46.120 these communists are hoping food shortages, poverty,
00:03:49.520 and a deadly virus might just do the trick.
00:03:52.400 It's crazy how quickly granola-eating hippies can start to sound like Hitler.
00:03:57.020 Speaking of creepy Europeans that make your skin crawl,
00:03:59.880 Greta Thunberg was in the news again.
00:04:01.760 The most trusted name in news, CNN.
00:04:04.240 They had a panel on the coronavirus,
00:04:06.180 and since they're such a prestigious news organization,
00:04:08.700 they had to pick the very best for the panel.
00:04:11.480 In this case,
00:04:12.420 a terrified autistic child with an anxiety disorder.
00:04:15.160 Well, I mean, first of all, we didn't,
00:04:18.760 we still haven't gotten tested.
00:04:21.940 My heart goes out to everyone who has to deal with anxiety disorders and mental illness,
00:04:26.320 but it's the people that prey upon them that I can't stand.
00:04:30.240 I mean, CNN follows Greta around with a camera,
00:04:33.220 like Harvey Weinstein's lackeys follow young starlets around with big movie contracts.
00:04:37.820 In other news, earlier this month, former cult leader,
00:04:41.700 former Green Party leader, sorry, Elizabeth May,
00:04:45.300 was excited to talk about the global pandemic
00:04:47.340 and how it's actually an opportunity for the green energy movement.
00:04:50.860 With her nuance, grace, and singular dimension,
00:04:54.420 Elizabeth May made the stunning and brave announcement,
00:04:57.480 oil is dead.
00:04:58.240 So basically, you're saying oil is dead.
00:05:01.320 Oil is dead.
00:05:02.020 Many Canadians retorted, asking Mrs. May,
00:05:04.940 are you sure you're not talking about your political career?
00:05:08.140 But she backed up her bold statements with a study that predicts
00:05:10.880 renewable energy will make up 30% of energy production around the world.
00:05:15.360 When questioned how much of that other 70% would be fossil fuels,
00:05:20.360 Elizabeth started pouring a glass of wine
00:05:22.260 and talking about the amazing benefits of healing crystals.
00:05:25.740 When then asked how much oil and gas products will be needed in Canada
00:05:29.480 to develop more solar and wind infrastructure,
00:05:32.500 she started paying compliments to a former Al-Qaeda child soldier.
00:05:37.320 Welcome back, Omer Khadri.
00:05:40.920 Omer Khadri, you've got more class than the whole fucking cabinet.
00:05:44.000 Thank you.
00:05:44.420 To be fair, when you're ideologically possessed,
00:05:48.060 questions and percentages can be tricky.
00:05:50.720 For example, one study shows that the casual environmentalist
00:05:53.780 is made up of 30% wishful thinking and 70% delusion.
00:05:59.200 But are we really surprised by this?
00:06:00.860 Elizabeth May is like a kindergarten teacher.
00:06:03.400 She based her entire political career on a color.
00:06:06.500 I don't want to be the one to terrorize her fairy tale
00:06:09.100 by pointing out that nearly every item in her home
00:06:11.520 was brought to her in some part by fossil fuels.
00:06:13.620 I don't want to be the villain to ruin her day
00:06:15.840 while she sips her tea stoned out of her mind looking out at the ocean.
00:06:19.480 I don't want to take that innocence away.
00:06:21.580 That'd be like telling a child Santa Claus doesn't exist.
00:06:24.620 That'd be like telling a Canadian that paying a tax doesn't change the weather.
00:06:28.460 That'd be like telling an environmentalist how their hiking gear
00:06:31.160 an environmentally friendly water bottle was made.
00:06:33.700 That's like telling a vegan what happens to rabbits when they sneak onto the carrot farm.
00:06:38.380 That'd be like telling school kids protesting about the climate and CO2 how plants grow.
00:06:43.880 Are they still teaching photosynthesis, by the way?
00:06:46.560 And finally, it'd be like talking to protesters who say we need to stop all those CO2 emissions
00:06:52.060 and tell them where food comes from.
00:06:55.640 Still waiting to hear from Tesla if they're working on those solar-powered tractors.
00:07:00.340 And listen, I am all for making an effort to phase off of fossil fuels
00:07:04.360 and developing and implementing these technologies when they make sense.
00:07:08.520 But you've got to admit, when someone's suggesting that instead of a pipeline,
00:07:12.580 we load up oil tankers that's powered by bunker sea fuel,
00:07:16.120 ship them through the Panama Canal all the way around the continent
00:07:19.540 to refine it on the East Coast, it sounds kind of retarded.
00:07:24.500 But one man's mental deficiency is another man's opportunity.
00:07:28.220 We presently buy a large part of our oil from Western Canada.
00:07:34.840 I think tar sands are condemned.
00:07:37.860 Do not invest any more of those billions of dollars into tar sands because there's no future.
00:07:44.420 We will need some oil for us in the coming years.
00:07:47.000 And I'm not saying you have to stop everything.
00:07:49.660 I never said anything like that.
00:07:51.620 Listening to a politician's explanation of why they don't use oil anymore
00:07:55.780 is a lot like listening to a cokehead's explanation of how they don't use cocaine anymore.
00:08:00.840 Yeah, man, I've totally been cutting back.
00:08:02.640 I don't need that crap anymore.
00:08:04.180 Really?
00:08:04.640 Because you keep disappearing into the bathroom,
00:08:06.540 repeating the same story that doesn't make any sense,
00:08:08.860 and I'm finding these baggies with little white residue in them,
00:08:11.800 and we consume 90 million barrels of oil a day still around the world during this lockdown.
00:08:17.320 Yeah, but that's like a 10% decrease, man.
00:08:20.220 Okay, consumer?
00:08:22.620 Or a sense.
00:08:24.720 And don't get me wrong,
00:08:26.220 I would love to still be reading along and enjoying the green energy fairy tale.
00:08:30.740 I would love to believe that green energy will save the world tomorrow.
00:08:34.900 Cokeheads don't exist.
00:08:36.320 Budgets balance themselves.
00:08:37.920 Greedy corporations aren't indoctrinating me with globalist propaganda.
00:08:41.980 There are no world leaders waging deadly wars over oil and resources.
00:08:46.480 But the reason I had to close the book on this fairy tale
00:08:49.020 is the constant foreshadowing of communism.
00:08:52.400 I mean, the Disney version has a very happy ending,
00:08:54.900 but something tells me the one in real life will not.
00:08:57.860 Don't put money in fossil fuels at all to try to bail them out.
00:09:02.200 It won't work.
00:09:02.940 We need to make good investments that allow people to have long-term, sustainable, good jobs.
00:09:07.760 Tar sends won't be back.
00:09:10.080 Contrary to what agenda-driven narcissists might have to say,
00:09:13.940 oil is not dead in Canada.
00:09:16.040 It's being killed.
00:09:17.380 It's being put down.
00:09:18.860 Put down by the same people who coincidentally don't believe in the death penalty.
00:09:22.840 And by political parties that coincidentally don't have one seat in parliament
00:09:27.020 in the province of Alberta.
00:09:28.560 And because of Alberta's oil reserves,
00:09:30.480 Quebec has received over $200 billion in equalization payments since the 1960s.
00:09:36.140 But why try to cooperate and have respect for the rest of the country
00:09:39.300 when you can exploit it and passive-aggressively say you're going to leave
00:09:42.800 like an abusive boyfriend?
00:09:44.360 We get oil from Alberta.
00:09:46.660 We pay for it.
00:09:48.260 They don't give us any special price.
00:09:50.200 So they should thank us.
00:09:51.940 And let's not forget, back in December 2019, Calgary was already in an economic crisis.
00:09:58.120 Unemployment had reached a record high of 20% among young men.
00:10:02.040 You see, even before this lockdown pandemic,
00:10:04.520 these young men were already stuck inside with their dick in their hands.
00:10:07.720 And that wasn't because of a deadly virus.
00:10:09.520 No, that was because of a hostile federal government.
00:10:12.360 And based on the non-binary, eunuch energy of liberal policymakers,
00:10:16.260 I guess these young men should be grateful.
00:10:19.040 Grateful that it was the oil and gas industry that was neutered and not them.
00:10:23.280 So they should thank us.
00:10:24.960 And when it comes to the oil in our country, Canada is very well endowed.
00:10:29.940 We're home to one-third of the world's oil reserves,
00:10:33.100 but we're being forced to sell 99% of it to the U.S. at a loss.
00:10:38.140 Why?
00:10:38.740 Because Canada has a limited pipeline capacity.
00:10:41.840 Why do we have a limited pipeline capacity?
00:10:44.080 Two reasons for this.
00:10:44.880 Next number one is Bill C-69.
00:10:47.420 Although this bill sounds sexy, it's anything but.
00:10:50.400 Basically, if Canada wants to lace a pipe,
00:10:53.500 the foreplay is no longer working over materials,
00:10:56.400 greasing up nuts and bolts, and breaking a sweat.
00:10:58.600 No, now the foreplay with Bill C-69 is
00:11:01.880 considering the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors.
00:11:06.720 Whew, it's getting hot in here.
00:11:08.180 Even lawyers who usually get off on sifting through legal jargon
00:11:12.200 were disgusted by this bill.
00:11:13.800 And speaking of disgusted, while this clown introduces these virtue signaling policies
00:11:19.000 that cripple our oil and gas industry, he's still importing oil from slave owners.
00:11:24.260 Yes, lovely places like Saudi Arabia where women are still treated like slaves.
00:11:29.700 Not the kinky consensual kind either.
00:11:31.700 Despite how abhorrent that is, I'm sure there's many naive Canadians who are still saying,
00:11:36.560 well, the Alberta tar sands are dirty.
00:11:38.380 It's one of the dirtiest types of oil, Greg.
00:11:40.240 You're moving the goalposts.
00:11:42.320 I'm not going to deny the impact that the oil sands are having on its local environment.
00:11:46.600 But also, let's not disregard and disrespect the many hardworking Canadian engineers
00:11:51.640 trying to make the operation as clean as possible.
00:11:54.200 Because, I mean, think about it.
00:11:55.040 Compared to the rest of the world, Canada is already one of the cleanest places.
00:11:59.460 Why, as Canadians, do we only ever hear about how awful the tar sands are?
00:12:04.020 Pipelines are evil.
00:12:05.260 Us horrible Canadians in our big, cold country, heating our homes and driving our cars.
00:12:10.800 What monsters we are.
00:12:12.680 That's all we ever hear about.
00:12:14.080 And that leads me to reason number two.
00:12:16.160 Why Canada has a limited pipeline capacity.
00:12:18.340 U.S. foundations fund activism in Canada, messaging in Canada, against the Canadian oil and gas industry.
00:12:26.320 It's called the Tar Sands Campaign, and it's funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
00:12:30.140 If you follow the money, you'll see there's very obvious reasons why that's all we ever hear about is the evil tar sands.
00:12:36.920 Wow, the U.S.?
00:12:38.740 Money from the U.S.?
00:12:39.700 The same country?
00:12:40.860 Exploiting our oil and gas industry because we don't have a pipeline?
00:12:43.940 Huh, I guess that explains why these protesters don't care at all about the pipelines running into our homes,
00:12:50.840 but the ones that make our country more prosperous and benefits our economy in every feasible way?
00:12:55.740 Yeah, let's protest those pipelines.
00:12:57.720 And I just wanted to add, I'm sure many people protesting against Canadian pipelines have the best of intentions.
00:13:03.940 And if you're one of those people watching, I want to give you a big congratulations.
00:13:08.320 Because by protesting against Canadian pipelines, you're helping American billionaires.
00:13:13.260 You're helping America grow jobs, and you are single-handedly helping the American oil and gas industry.
00:13:20.200 So while you deny the inevitability of oil coming out of the grounds to protect a tiny strip of land,
00:13:25.580 you're also preventing much-needed jobs from growing in Canada's rural communities.
00:13:30.160 You're helping Canada's unemployment rate go up, and the value of our Canadian dollar go down.
00:13:35.680 How does it feel to be a perfect little soldier for the American oil and gas industry?
00:13:41.100 What's that?
00:13:41.720 You don't even like America and Donald Trump?
00:13:44.380 Well, maybe if you stopped obsessing over American news and cared to follow what actually happens in the country you live in,
00:13:51.520 you wouldn't feel like such an ass right now.
00:13:53.700 For the uninformed, unaware, or flat-out indoctrinated Canadian who doesn't know what I'm talking about,
00:13:58.880 there's a short, well-researched documentary on this topic called Over a Barrel.
00:14:03.080 The sinister story of foreign influence enslaving our most profitable Canadian industry has never once been covered by CBC Docs or CBC News.
00:14:12.860 Ever!
00:14:14.140 Shameful, pathetic, grossly un-Canadian, waste of our tax dollars, and I can't even find the words for this one.
00:14:19.580 But you can guarantee whenever I hear a sweet voice of a CBC announcer, I put another hole in my wall.
00:14:24.860 But Greg, you haven't talked about climate change.
00:14:27.140 What about climate change?
00:14:28.160 Are you a climate change denier?
00:14:29.400 Don't you care about the end of the world?
00:14:32.040 So cute.
00:14:33.300 Of course I believe in climate change.
00:14:35.020 I call them seasons.
00:14:36.360 And when it comes to pollution, I call that pollution.
00:14:39.300 And folks, obsessing over CO2 emissions in Canada as the only form of pollution is a lot like obsessing over your face acne when you've been diagnosed with bone cancer.
00:14:48.920 Of course, clearing up that acne, buying a Tesla might make you feel good and look good to your peers,
00:14:53.800 but toxic pesticides and the Yellow River in China is going to wipe out organisms on this planet a hell of a lot faster.
00:14:59.820 But Greg, the ozone, the rising temperatures, I can only assume you'd be referring to the official IPCC, scientific consensus.
00:15:07.120 Right. The scientific consensus to ignore other science and all agree that the world's going to end in 12 years unless we pay the carbon tax.
00:15:15.660 Smells a little off to me.
00:15:17.460 Reminds me of that consensus between celebrities, politicians, and news channels that we just all agree we're not going to talk about the Epstein story anymore.
00:15:25.320 Coincidentally, these same climate science studies have been disseminated about as openly and honestly on mainstream news as the Podesta emails.
00:15:34.220 But hey, don't let me ruin your fairy tale.
00:15:36.520 Let's let Disney Plus and Netflix babysit our children.
00:15:40.040 Let's pay the carbon tax and make believe like we're actually getting something done.
00:15:44.140 Let's let our Canadian ancestors roll in their graves as they watch us lazy, ungrateful Canadians refuse to stand up against pedophiles and communists.
00:15:51.460 Because according to our global authority daddy figures and our cult progressive leaders, that is living happily ever after.
00:15:58.760 Do you think I left anything out?
00:16:12.460 Is it over yet?
00:16:14.080 Jesus.
00:16:14.620 Jesus.
00:16:19.000 Jesus.
00:16:19.840 Jesus.
00:16:19.880 Jesus.
00:16:20.160 Jesus.
00:16:20.480 Jesus.
00:16:22.300 Jesus.
00:16:22.460 Jesus.
00:16:22.500 Jesus.
00:16:23.420 Jesus.
