Juno News - Justin Trudeau is 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
