Summary

Justin Trudeau has been flying around the campaign trail with two planes, but Elizabeth May and Maxime Bernier have only used one plane. What's the deal with the second plane? Is it for security reasons or is it for his ego?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hypocrisy is the name of the game as a lot of Canadians are outraged to learn that Justin
00:00:14.240 Trudeau has been flying around on the campaign trail and not just one but two airplanes two
00:00:21.180 airplanes while everybody else Andrew Scheer Jagmeet Singh I guess the occasions when Elizabeth
00:00:26.960 May and Maxime Bernier in flight they're just using one what on earth can the second airplane be for
00:00:32.700 one for Justin Trudeau and the other for his ego I mean what's happening here well the truth they've
00:00:38.120 clarified is one is for Trudeau and his immediate team and the media traveling with him and then
00:00:43.320 the other plane is for their equipment and the advance team the members of of the campaign that
00:00:48.920 want to get to a place before the prime minister so they can set up and get everything ready and so
00:00:53.540 forth but here's the thing it's not like Trudeau has any larger team right now or needs to than
00:00:59.840 say Andrew Scheer Andrew Scheer actually has the same number of RCMP security detail based on where
00:01:05.040 we're at in the campaign based on the fact that Andrew Scheer could become the prime minister in
00:01:09.480 a couple weeks anyway so sort of same security presence happens throughout all of this and the
00:01:14.080 other part of it is Justin Trudeau apparently at some points in the last campaign he used a second
00:01:19.340 plane then as well and that's when he was leader of the third party what is going on here where are
00:01:25.980 their priorities because it's the prime minister who will chastise everybody else for all of their
00:01:32.580 emissions and talk from up on a pedestal about how we all have to do more how dire it is how much of
00:01:38.980 emergency we are in and how yes the little guy is going to be stuck with it even more because that's
00:01:44.880 what the carbon tax is and there's very good reason to believe that if re-elected Justin Trudeau
00:01:49.660 and Catherine McKenna are going to jack that carbon tax up even more so a lot of people frustrated on
00:01:56.980 this and they should be I don't care for what a lot of those alarmists say Greta Thunberg Naomi Klein
00:02:03.080 Green Party leader Elizabeth May I think oversells a lot of this but I will credit them with being
00:02:08.560 honest about what needs to be done if we're going to get to pretty much zero emissions in the next couple
00:02:14.260 decades which Justin Trudeau made a gesture announcement saying that he's going to do to
00:02:19.180 get to that you're pretty much going to have to live as those activists I mentioned said in World
00:02:25.420 War II style conditions like they did in London England back many decades ago food rationing not
00:02:32.120 traveling anywhere pretty much doing very limited human activity and just sourcing all of your products
00:02:37.460 and your food locally I mean you're going to have to incredibly constrict all of human and economic
00:02:42.720 activity I think that's bonkers and I don't think we need to head in that direction but if you want
00:02:47.380 to get to the zero emissions well that's a route to do it and some people Miss Thunberg for instance
00:02:52.480 well she took that boat across the country to make her way to New York Justin Trudeau he's taking two
00:02:58.960 planes when he does a trip from Ottawa to Toronto where you could take via rail or what have you for a few
00:03:05.000 hours but he's taking those two planes instead now the frustrating thing about all of this is there are
00:03:11.760 other things we can talk about here that don't have to involve all these carbon taxes and tis-tisking
00:03:18.760 regular Canadians pretty much harming low-income Canadians with these taxes and it doesn't have
00:03:24.180 to result in a situation where Trudeau looks like a hypocrite one of them is one of his own campaign
00:03:29.100 promises he actually talks about planting a whole bunch more trees because of carbon capture because
00:03:34.320 of how that helps with emissions well that's actually a good idea and it's a far more reasonable thing
00:03:39.180 than the carbon tax or these meaningless gestures about zero emissions I think most Canadians regardless
00:03:44.640 of politics would go well it's nice to have more trees around our country we have a beautiful country
00:03:49.620 let's let's take responsibility for the landscape there's so much more that could be discussed about
00:03:54.840 how the green movement wants to build a better mousetrap and at a certain point in time we may soon find
00:04:00.760 that electric vehicles are at the same price point as vehicles that take gasoline and the consumer just
00:04:06.180 naturally gravitates in that direction to that other product maybe that product will actually be
00:04:11.640 cheaper and then people will head that way the free market is actually moving us to a less emissions
00:04:17.940 intensive world so there you go there will be some green revolution heralded and maybe all this stuff
00:04:24.080 that Trudeau is forcing down our throats will all be for naught so why the need to do all of this why the
00:04:30.260 need to be exposed as a hypocrite we really need to have the conversation on those fronts because
00:04:35.540 all this drama that we're going through right now it's not worth it
