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 0.81
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
