Juno News - Justin Trudeau is stuck in the past

The way we live now is set to fundamentally change in so many ways, and we ve yet to figure out where we re going to be in the next few decades. Why is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau still stuck in the past?

00:00:00.000 the way we live now is set to fundamentally change in so many different ways our relationship to the

00:00:11.360 workplace our relationship to transportation to various different shopping methods to consumer

00:00:17.200 products to our dry cleaner to the clothes we buy for going to work or the clothes that we buy less

00:00:22.800 frequently everybody knows this i'm not saying anything profound there's various news articles

00:00:26.480 about this every single week everybody that is except for prime minister justin trudeau i can't

00:00:31.200 help but feel that he does not realize we are living in an entirely new landscape where we

00:00:36.080 probably need to start talking about different policies to address these different issues but

00:00:40.560 he seems so stuck in the past being yesterday's man wanting to address things like he did in his

00:00:46.160 first term and we know he's fixated on climate and green issues and he's saying this new throne speech

00:00:51.600 which is going to take canada in more left-wing directions than ever before is going to make

00:00:55.360 this a greener canada and that's that's the first phrase one of the first phrases he keeps using

00:01:00.320 when he's giving his press statements the past couple weeks greener this and that more and more

00:01:03.760 ambitious climate goals we go well hold on a second we're already seeing major changes in that regard

00:01:09.760 obviously if we're not going into work as much as we used to not five days a week but two or three times

00:01:14.720 a week well that's going to see reduced congestion on our streets that's going to see a drop-off

00:01:19.920 in demand for auto vehicles not good for that sector but i think that's just

00:01:23.360 a reality the oil and gas sector unfortunately being hard hit by all of this but trudeau wants

00:01:28.480 to hit them even harder i think he wants to phase up the oil sands even more why if we're already seeing

00:01:34.640 depressed statistics in all of those regards why does he have to double down on something that is

00:01:40.720 already in a changing dynamic right now it's key to fund transit in our cities all across canada but

00:01:46.640 they're going to see reduced ridership demand as people aren't going to the office as frequently a lot

00:01:51.760 of changing in consumer products that have to do with this whole ecosystem and we've yet to figure

00:01:56.000 it all out so why is trudeau so hastily barreling forward with doubling down maybe tripling down we'll

00:02:02.400 see what he does with all these green scheme funds perhaps with changing the carbon tax rate

00:02:08.080 why is he making these changes so so self-assuredly now as all indications suggest he's going to do when

00:02:14.880 we haven't actually figured out where we're heading on all of these fronts shouldn't he put the ideology

00:02:19.040 aside and just wait a moment let us all grab our bearings and see what this new reality is

00:02:24.960 before he gets in front of the ball and tries to reimagineer the economy to his own liking things have

00:02:31.040 changed i'm not sure if trudeau has fully assessed that yet what do you think
