Summary
In this episode of the podcast, I talk about the Trudeau government's failure to get the Keystone XL pipeline built, and the radical environmentalists who are trying to stop it. I also talk about why I believe the pipeline should be built and what the government should do to stop radical environmentalists who want to see our natural resources extracted and brought to market.

justin trudeau is sort of you know he's just absolutely lacked leadership when it's come to
00:00:05.520
the file of the pipeline you know they talk a big game they're all about patting themselves on the
00:00:12.320
back and virtue signaling over the environment they're so proud of themselves their record
00:00:17.520
forcing through this unpopular carbon tax uh the work that they're doing to push forward
00:00:22.800
incredibly unrealistic targets and standards through the uh paris accord you know they're
00:00:27.520
so proud of themselves on that front uh but then when it comes to actually you know using those in
00:00:33.920
that environmental framework to get our natural resources extracted and brought to market they
00:00:39.600
just don't know how to do them both and you know trudeau is more than happy to cancel other pipelines
00:00:44.880
as i talked about as i mentioned but then all of a sudden this one he's advocating that should get
00:00:49.440
built and he's sort of lost he's sort of lost the plot he's sort of lost the argument so you know his
00:00:56.000
again his government is just really struggling to articulate what it is they believe in and to
00:01:02.400
try to convince their own base which is very much brought up made up of radical environmentalists i
00:01:08.880
mean even within his own cabinet you know there's a story that um spencer fernando put out yesterday
00:01:16.160
about how uh elizabeth may had co-written a book with um with a senior staff member of uh jim car minister
00:01:24.800
jim carr who's a natural resources minister in trudeau's government the chief one of the senior
00:01:29.440
ranking people in his office co-wrote a crazy environmental book with elizabeth may so you know
00:01:35.680
these environmentalists are really active and in in high-ranking positions in the trudeau government
00:01:42.000
and they're kind of stuck between the same paradox of how to appease the crazy radical environmentalists
00:01:48.880
in your own midst while also trying to do what's in the national interest the best interest of the
00:01:54.560
country and that's why it was so great to see thousands of canadians show up today to stand up
00:01:58.960
for our natural resources because you know it puts more political pressure on these on these political
00:02:05.760
leaders justin trudeau in ottawa rachel notley in alberta and john horgan in british columbia they're just
00:02:12.880
clueless you know trying to appease the radical environmentalist so nothing what is the government
00:02:19.440
going to do what is the federal government going to do to stop radical environmentalists who have
00:02:24.720
hijacked the system who have hijacked the system they don't really have an answer they don't they're
00:02:28.640
not showing any leadership and they're really talking out of both sides of their mouth like why
00:02:34.080
do we believe these people katherine mckenna of all people who is you know trying to shove a carbon tax
00:02:40.480
down our throat who says that she has no time for people who don't agree with her when it comes to
00:02:44.720
carbon taxes and now all of a sudden she's saying that this is a pipeline that has to be built you
00:02:49.760
know their their own base the radical environmentalists aren't having any of this and i don't think that
00:02:56.080
mainstream everyday canadians who are paying attention are having it because it's not consistent
00:03:00.720
with what they've been talking about it doesn't seem sincere it seems incredibly hypocritical
