Summary

Leo Knight explores the contrast between Prince Charles and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when it comes to their public statements on climate change, and the reality behind the scenes of how they actually do it. In this episode, we take a look at what Prince Charles actually did in the past two weeks, including a trip to Vienna, a visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, and a photo op with Greta Thunberg.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 In Davos, Switzerland last week, Prince Charles addressed the World Economic Forum and outlined a 10-point plan to help the global economy become more sustainable, including the imposition of green taxes and investing in environmentally friendly technologies.
00:00:23.480 He also took time out for a photo-op with Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old darling of the left who hectares the world regularly on her view of climate change.
00:00:35.160 Prince Charles, who, to be fair, has not come to that game lately.
00:00:40.700 He has been pontificating for much of the last three decades on the subject.
00:00:45.240 He doesn't seem to care that there's no evidence to support his position.
00:00:48.700 But he soldiers on with mind-numbing logic.
00:00:53.460 But then he left Princess Diana in favor of Camilla, so it could be said his judgment is questionable.
00:01:00.340 But the worst part is the reality behind the scenes of how he acts versus what he says.
00:01:08.080 So, let's look at what he actually did in the past two weeks.
00:01:12.900 He was in Vienna, so he had an empty plane dispatched from Scotland to collect him.
00:01:20.940 The plane then took the prince to Muscat in Oman, where the prince paid his respects to the new sultan of Oman.
00:01:28.300 The plane then returned empty to its base in Vienna.
00:01:33.060 Another plane was then dispatched from Luton, just north of London, to Muscat to collect the prince.
00:01:38.640 Apparently, this all occurred because the crew of the original plane had exceeded their allowable flight hours.
00:01:46.500 The new plane then flew the prince from Muscat to Sandringham to meet with the queen
00:01:52.860 to discuss his wayward son Prince Harry's abdication of his duties by decamping to Vancouver Island with Meghan Markle.
00:02:01.980 Prince Charles then took a helicopter 131 miles from Lasham Airfield to actually meet the queen in Norfolk.
00:02:10.900 After the meeting, he took another helicopter from Norfolk 192 miles to Scotland
00:02:16.980 and then jumped on another helicopter to Lasham Airfield, a distance of approximately 262 miles.
00:02:24.580 From Scotland, he then jumped on a private flight to Davos.
00:02:29.820 And after a photo-op with Clement Dullian of the left, Greta Thunberg, he then flew to Israel later the same day.
00:02:39.080 In that period, empty planes flew more than 16,000 miles on errands for the prince.
00:02:45.980 Think about that.
00:02:46.800 That alone produced an estimated 162,000 tons of carbon emissions,
00:02:52.860 which would have taken a small city in England almost a year to generate that much carbon,
00:02:58.720 let alone to do it in a fortnight.
00:03:01.080 And it's not just Prince Charles.
00:03:03.220 We need only look at our own Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
00:03:06.600 Last year, he took, by my count, 204 flights on taxpayer-funded aircraft.
00:03:12.020 Given that there are only 365 days in a calendar year,
00:03:16.380 and he took more than 40 personal days and 10, at least, vacations,
00:03:22.360 and there are 104 weekend days in a year,
00:03:25.300 one might ask when did he actually work?
00:03:28.120 Yet, he lectured Canadians ad nauseum about climate change,
00:03:32.140 declared a climate emergency right in July,
00:03:34.980 right before taking off Tofino on Canada's west coast for a surfing holiday,
00:03:39.260 and then he imposed a carbon tax on the rest of us poor vassals.
00:03:44.140 And then, this week, after some stellar reporting by the rebel Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:03:49.440 we learned that the newly anointed Deputy Prime Minister, Christia Freeland,
00:03:54.420 would fly to airports like Toronto and Montreal
00:03:57.540 and send her chauffeur-driven limousine empty from Ottawa to meet her wherever she was going.
00:04:04.820 There is a special sort of arrogant entitlement for someone to do that,
00:04:10.880 and most especially for a Minister of the Crown in a government
00:04:14.500 that has financially penalized the nation for no good reason other than for their own ideology,
00:04:21.880 to which, clearly, they don't actually adhere.
00:04:24.880 Whether it's Prince Charles, Justin Trudeau, or Christia Freeland,
00:04:30.320 the message is the same.
00:04:32.380 Do as I say, not as I do.
00:04:35.660 For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
