Justin Trudeau goes on an international junket to lecture others about climate change
00:00:04.500
and the whole world rolls her eyes. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:13.000
Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in to The Candice Malcolm Show. I hope everyone out
00:00:16.260
there had a wonderful weekend and I hope you had a great Halloween celebration. I'll just say,
00:00:20.780
for me, I love Halloween. So when you're a little kid, Halloween is just the best. There's so much
00:00:25.460
anticipation. There's so much build-up. You sort of have like your events at school. You get to
00:00:30.240
dress up at school and everyone in your neighborhood starts dressing up or starts decorating
00:00:34.700
their home. You start decorating your home. There's like a lot of anticipation building up to the big
00:00:38.560
night, which is Halloween. And then there's so many different ways that you can sort of celebrate
00:00:42.640
Halloween. You can go out trick-or-treating. You can go to a haunted house. You can go watch scary
00:00:47.480
movies with your friends. You can stay home and hand out candy. There's just lots to do, lots of
00:00:51.420
excitement. And again, being a kid on Halloween is the best. And then you get older and Halloween
00:00:56.260
kind of changes. It's not really about getting scared and going trick-or-treating. It's more
00:01:00.680
about, you know, wearing costumes and going to parties and that kind of thing, especially in
00:01:04.760
university. So Halloween is different. It's still fun. Then you leave university and the whole appeal
00:01:10.020
of just like going to a party or going to a bar in a Halloween costume kind of loses its appeal.
00:01:14.600
And so for me, there was like a while where there's just nothing really to do on Halloween. So it
00:01:18.860
sort of changed. I lived in a city. I lived in an apartment building. There were no kids around.
00:01:23.260
There's no trick-or-treaters. So there's no point in getting candy to hand out because no one's coming
00:01:27.440
to the door. There's no kids around. There's no real point in decorating. And Halloween just sort
00:01:31.800
of loses some of its fun. But then you have your own kids. And when your kids get excited about
00:01:37.840
Halloween, it becomes like as exciting as it was when you were a kid, if not more, because you kind of get
00:01:42.460
to see it all through your child's eyes. So we're sort of at a stage in our household where the kids just
00:01:48.220
get really excited, especially my son. He's almost three and he just loves the idea of Halloween.
00:01:53.200
He loves the decorations. He loved getting dressed up. We took him trick-or-treating for a little bit.
00:01:57.100
He wasn't as into that because he's a little scared to go up to the doors and stuff like that.
00:02:01.580
But he loved being at home handing out the candy to the other kids, the bigger kids who were coming
00:02:05.980
trick-or-treating. So we just had a great time and it really was fun. Now, I want to point your
00:02:11.600
attention to a tweet that was making some attention online. Some people shared it with me.
00:02:17.380
And to me, this is just one more reason why the left is totally insane. And one more reason why
00:02:23.000
for your own mental health, you should stay off of Twitter, stay off of social media, because it is
00:02:27.740
just a totally insane platform. So this tweet comes from an individual who is a, he's a doctor.
00:02:34.260
He's a professor. He is the head of Brown University School of Public Health. So he's the head of a public
00:02:39.920
health school at an Ivy League university in the United States, the best and the brightest,
00:02:44.880
top medical experts and practitioners here. So this is Dr. Ashish Jha, I believe I'm pronouncing
00:02:52.400
that correctly. Dr. Jha said this, kids going trick-or-treating was safe last year. It is
00:02:57.740
exceedingly safe this year. No need for the kids to wear a mask if they're staying outdoors, unless of
00:03:03.460
course the mask is a scary part of the costume. And then he does a little funny winky face. So this is,
00:03:08.640
this is correct. And you know, this is the medical opinion of someone who is very prestigious,
00:03:13.600
uh, has, has a very, very prestigious position. And, uh, so what is the reaction of course? Well,
00:03:19.380
this guy gets totally mobbed. Um, people are outraged that he would say this and, and you really
00:03:24.020
see people sort of like diving deep to try to find an example of why this guy is wrong. And so you see
00:03:30.880
tweets like this, what about the positive air pressure when the door opens or a bunch of kids close
00:03:36.840
to one another screaming trick-or-treat until vaccinated? I still think there should be
00:03:40.960
caution. So just a couple of points about this one. Twitter is just so mean-spirited. You can't
00:03:45.240
even put out a fun, lighthearted tweet, a Halloween tweet, or an innocuous medical tweet that says
00:03:50.600
something that's so obvious. Yes. Uh, kids are running around outside. COVID isn't a threat when
00:03:54.720
you're outside. Uh, it's kids, kids don't really get COVID the, as, as I covered in my show on the
00:04:00.000
weekend, I wrote about my son column. I might do another show dedicated on this because it's just such an
00:04:03.460
important issue, but kids don't, don't really get sick from COVID. Kids don't really die from COVID.
00:04:08.200
That's not really a thing. The death rate, uh, the case mortality rate for COVID with children,
00:04:13.640
including teenagers under the age of 20 is 0.002. 0.002 is the case mortality rate in Canada. Uh,
00:04:22.740
there's been 17 deaths for people under the age of 20 in Canada out of a population of about 8 million
00:04:28.140
people. So this whole idea that kids are at risk of COVID is wrong. And again, no, so they're outside,
00:04:33.240
they're running around, kids aren't really getting COVID anyway, and the interactions are very short,
00:04:38.100
very brief. So, so we, this idea that we have to push paranoia in our society about COVID is wrong.
00:04:44.020
And then the other is just the mob mentality on Twitter. You know, again, someone puts out an
00:04:47.660
innocuous tweet that's pretty accurate and based on his medical, uh, expertise and experience. And,
00:04:53.920
you know, you have all these sort of leftist Democrat, uh, liberal types, just completely,
00:04:58.860
um, replying with insanity, um, saying that the sciences are on their side, even though,
00:05:04.420
you know, they're talking to a very prestigious, um, head of a public health unit at, uh, Ivy
00:05:09.620
League university in the U S just totally, totally silly and ridiculous. Look, if you enjoy the Candace

00:06:03.300
the weekend was that Justin Trudeau went on another international junket. The entire focus of all of his
00:06:09.400
visits, all of his trips has been to lecture the world, lecture others on climate change. And I will
00:06:15.600
explain why it is completely ridiculous for him to do that. Now, I just want to point this out
00:06:20.640
last time Justin Trudeau went on one of these junkets, his staff told Bloomberg that Justin
00:06:25.960
Trudeau envisioned himself as the Dean of the G7. Angela Merkel was stepping down, which means that
00:06:31.800
Justin Trudeau is the longest serving leader of the G7. And so he wants to be considered the leader
00:06:37.440
and the Dean. And that is how he thinks of himself. That is how he goes about these international
00:06:42.740
junkets. It's kind of a joke because as everyone knows, Justin Trudeau doesn't have a lot of worldly
00:06:47.780
experience. He didn't have a lot of work experience before becoming prime minister. He kind of just
00:06:51.920
like partied his way through his twenties and thirties and then woke up at age 40 and said,
00:06:56.440
you know what, I'd like to be prime minister. And Canadians rewarded him with that by the age of 41.
00:07:02.000
So that's the Justin Trudeau story. He's not a very serious guy. And you can see that as prime
00:07:06.260
minister, he usually embarrasses himself. He usually wears silly costumes and he's kind of the butt of a lot
00:07:11.640
of jokes. Regardless, he still wants to be seen as the super serious leader. And so we see that
00:07:17.400
Justin Trudeau on these junkets. And the second one is climate alarmism. Everything that Justin
00:07:22.420
Trudeau talks about, all of his messages, all of his announcement, it all ties back to climate
00:07:26.860
alarmism. He doesn't even call it climate change anymore. He calls it the climate crisis and he
00:07:31.880
treats it as though it's the biggest issue going on in the world right now. I mean, can you imagine
00:07:35.840
being that sort of out of touch with the world? We're still grappling from the impacts of the
00:07:41.740
global pandemic. There has been an absolute ravaging of the global economy and it's still
00:07:46.540
present everywhere. You can see it with the supply chain problems and the amount of time it takes to
00:07:52.260
get things shipped. There's still huge supply chain issues. We're still dealing with higher
00:07:58.020
unemployment. So many businesses that went under so many people who have lost their jobs, still the
00:08:03.780
sort of threat, a looming threat of a fourth wave and more lockdowns to come. And then that's not
00:08:08.480
even getting into the financial side of things, the rapid out of control spending that Western
00:08:13.480
countries have taken on, including and especially Canada, the sort of threat of ongoing inflation that
00:08:18.960
could go to hyperinflation. You know, the governments are just printing mass, mass amounts of money.
00:08:23.540
They've never really experimented with this kind of levels of debt before. And there is a lot of
00:08:28.560
concern about the overproduction of money, meaning the devaluation of money and the impact
00:08:33.640
that we'll have. And yet we don't really hear a lot about that. Instead, we hear a lot about climate
00:08:38.440
change as if that's the biggest and the only threat to the world. And then the second element
00:08:44.180
at play. So the first one is climate alarmism. And the second one is still the COVID theatrics,
00:08:48.920
because we are still living in this sort of post-COVID, post-pandemic world. All the world leaders
00:08:54.400
want to heavily virtue signal about wearing masks and taking all these precautions, lecturing everybody
00:09:00.240
about getting vaccinated. And that's sort of the second theme that we see throughout. Both of them
00:09:05.960
are based on virtue signaling. Both of them are based on promoting their own woke credentials,
00:09:10.980
woke left-wing credentials. And they're both based on pushing a socialist far-left worldview and far-left
00:09:18.040
policies into the world. So those are the major issues at play. The first stop on Justin Trudeau's
00:09:23.800
little whirlwind across Europe here was in the Netherlands. Justin Trudeau went on a bilateral visit
00:09:28.840
to the Netherlands to talk about, you guessed it, climate change, fighting extremism. I guess
00:09:34.600
they're talking about far-right extremism, which again, isn't really a threat at all. But that's
00:09:38.540
the threat that Justin Trudeau pretends is the biggest threat in the world. And then the climate
00:09:42.860
threat, that's according to the CBC. So we see this headline over on the CBC. Trudeau says Canada and
00:09:48.460
the Netherlands must join forces to fight extremism and climate threat. So again, we're supposed to
00:09:54.320
believe that the biggest threats in the world right now are the threat of, what, extremism,
00:10:01.280
which Trudeau talking about conspiracy theories, intolerance, marginalized, angry people online.
00:10:08.020
Supposedly, that's the biggest threat to the world, as well as their climate alarmism.
00:10:12.640
And so out of this, we saw an announcement that Canada and the Netherlands were going to be working
00:10:16.320
together to create a new NATO center based on climate security. So there will be a center for
00:10:23.120
climate security in NATO. Canada will be a leader in this starting in 2023. So, you know, on the upside,
00:10:30.620
Justin Trudeau is actually talking about national security, which is rare and probably a good side.
00:10:35.140
But the downside will be that it is heavily steeped in leftist ideology focused on climate alarmism.
00:10:41.740
And of course, the media being the media, they always fixate on Justin Trudeau, the celebrity.
00:10:46.160
They love to find stories about how Justin Trudeau is famous within certain pockets of society in
00:10:52.100
other countries. And so we see this from the CBC's JP Tasker. Of course, there's this dude in the
00:10:58.720
Netherlands who's the head of a leftist green party. And he looks like Justin Trudeau, I guess he has
00:11:04.940
a resemblance. And so this is what JP Tasker over at the CBC focused on, you know, again, during Justin
00:11:11.440
Trudeau is supposed to be doing something super serious. And the media instead fixate on stupid
00:11:16.440
little celebrity elements. So there's this guy in the Dutch parliament head of the green left party,
00:11:22.140
and he kind of looks like Trudeau. So that's what JP tweets about. He says Trudeau took questions from
00:11:27.420
the Dutch MPs assembled for his speech this morning. He was pressed by Jesse Claver, leader of the green
00:11:32.520
left party about Canada's climate ambitions. Trudeau answered and then quipped nice hair to Claver,
00:11:38.060
who bears a striking resemblance to the PM. Jesse Claver has been dubbed by some media here as the
00:11:44.240
Justin Trudeau of the Netherlands. He bears an uncanny resemblance to our PM. So again, trying to
00:11:50.480
make it seem like Justin Trudeau is this big global celebrity that the Netherlands, you know, has this
00:11:55.140
politician and they call him the Justin Trudeau of the Netherlands. Why? Because he sort of looks like
00:12:00.380
Justin Trudeau. Look, this guy's got kind of like, like curly hair long for a politician long for a
00:12:05.800
political leader. He doesn't really look like Justin Trudeau in his face. But he you know, he's he looks
00:12:10.280
young and his hair is kind of out of control. So no, he doesn't really bear an uncanny resemblance to
00:12:16.020
our PM. No, he doesn't bear a striking resemblance to him. He just has similar kind of hair to how
00:12:22.000
Justin Trudeau used to wear his hair like 10 years ago. And the media is fixating on this. Why? I've no
00:12:27.100
idea. But it is because they're obsessed with Justin Trudeau's looks. They're obsessed with the
00:12:31.500
celebrity aspect of Justin Trudeau. They swoon over him. They think he's good looking and they see this guy
00:12:36.380
they think he's good looking. So they want to talk about his looks. And they want people in Canada
00:12:41.280
to think that Justin Trudeau is just this like well known, revered leader. But no, Justin Trudeau is
00:12:46.740
pretty much the butt of a lot of jokes around the world. And a lot of that comes from the way that
00:12:51.080
he behaves on these international junkets, the way that he acts, the way that he virtue signals some
00:12:56.060
of the silly things that he says that are so steep in woke ideology, or just the lack of self
00:13:01.240
awareness he has when he gets dressed up, when he dances, when he does all kinds of silly,
00:13:06.000
silly things. Okay, so Justin Trudeau moves on from the Netherlands, and he goes over to Rome for the
00:13:12.440
G20 summit. Trudeau goes with his finance minister, Christia Freeland, who really has no business being
00:13:17.540
the finance minister. Let me just say that she came into politics as a journalist. She was a journalist
00:13:22.980
for Bloomberg for many years. She wrote books about really wealthy individuals. And then she never
00:13:29.080
really worked on the business side. She came into the Trudeau government. She was given the foreign
00:13:32.780
affairs position because she's sort of a worldly person. She speaks a bunch of different languages.
00:13:37.380
She was at least better fitted for foreign affairs. Then she got promoted because she's
00:13:42.040
such a good lackey to Justin Trudeau. She's such a good sidekick that Trudeau promoted her to finance
00:13:47.040
minister, even though she really doesn't have the background in finance. It's really embarrassing
00:13:51.500
to Canada to have a finance minister that has so little background and experience when it comes
00:13:57.020
to banking and finance. So here we have Christia Freeland, and she is also becoming a total joke
00:14:02.680
on the world stage. So she, apparently this is a tweet from Politico, a US reporter. He tweeted this.
00:14:08.660
He said, when a minister, Canada's Christia Freeland arrives 45 minutes late to a 30 minute press
00:14:13.720
conference, and then her team announces that only Canadian journalists are allowed to ask her
00:14:18.280
questions. Maybe stay home in Canada if you only want to talk about Canadians, he writes.
00:14:22.620
Pretty devastating stuff. And again, it shows how Canada is not really as revered as some liberals
00:14:29.800
like to think. The Trudeau government isn't really as respected among the international media. The
00:14:34.600
international media don't give them the same sort of kid glove treatment as the Canadian media does.
00:14:39.440
And the international media are always kind of a little surprised by just how unprofessional Trudeau
00:14:44.760
and his team are and some of the really crazy demands that, again, the Canadian journalists put up
00:14:49.340
with because they love the liberals, they want the liberals to do well, they worship Justin Trudeau,
00:14:53.580
or because they are on the dole, they are receiving their salaries from the Trudeau government. And so
00:14:59.020
they can't really criticize them. They just sort of do what they're told. So this guy from Politico,
00:15:04.960
he goes on, his name is Ryan Heath. He says, it gets better. The spokesperson actively, physically
00:15:09.520
intervened to stop Stuart Lyle and I from asking a quick question as the presser rapped and ushered
00:15:16.080
Freeland out of the room. So again, just really, really unprofessional, really embarrassing kind
00:15:20.520
of Bush League amateurish tactics by our finance minister and her team. And just shows just how
00:15:26.660
over their head and out of their league they are when it comes to these international junkets. So
00:15:30.980
Justin Trudeau, while they were at this G20 summit in Rome, he met with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson,
00:15:36.380
and they discussed, you guessed it, climate change. According to the Prime Minister's office
00:15:40.940
release from that, they talked about their shared priorities in advance of the COP26 summit.
00:15:46.080
So Trudeau says that climate progress was made at the G20 summit, but Canada wanted a more ambitious
00:15:52.380
plan. So they put out this press release saying that climate change was at the top of today's
00:15:57.420
agenda. We focused on how we can increase climate ambition during this critical decade and what more
00:16:02.700
we can do to phase up coal, reduce methane emissions, increase support for adaption and fund
00:16:06.980
nature-based solutions. So I just quickly want to say, look, so there's three parts to Trudeau's
00:16:12.800
international junket. The first was a bilat in Holland. The second one was this G20 meeting in
00:16:17.480
Rome. And the third one was COP26 in Scotland, which we will get to next. So he does these three
00:16:22.020
different meetings and all of them, he was obsessed and almost solely focused on climate change. Well,
00:16:27.760
the point of the G20 meeting, it's the leaders of the top 20 economies on planet Earth. They get
00:16:32.700
together to talk about finances and the economy. The whole point is to talk about economic security,
00:16:39.040
talk about the global financial system. It is not to talk about climate change. And the very next
00:16:44.800
meeting that you're going to on Sunday is entirely focused on climate change. So for one G20 meeting
00:16:50.220
for one day, you couldn't just talk about global finances. Trudeau always had to swing it back,
00:16:54.940
always had to make it about his pet little issue and not focus on some of the bigger issues in the
00:16:59.980
world. Like I talked about before the issues with supply chain, it's still a huge problem. Massive,
00:17:05.560
massive disruptions around the world with supply chain issues, which is why it's taking so long
00:17:10.360
to get things. There's huge weights everywhere. It's a major problem. Trudeau doesn't want to talk
00:17:15.120
about that. He doesn't want to talk about monetary policy. We know that from the election campaign,
00:17:18.860
he said that he doesn't think about monetary policy, but inflation and the threat of hyperinflation is a
00:17:23.720
huge problem. And perhaps just again, one day, Mr. Prime Minister, spend one day of your year
00:17:29.040
talking about the serious financial and economic issues and not virtue signaling about climate
00:17:34.940
but alas, this just shows again what a total embarrassing joke our government is, especially
00:17:40.840
on the world stage. That's when you can see it the most. So next Sunday, Trudeau jetted off to the
00:17:46.040
COP26 meeting in Scotland. So what exactly is COP26? So the UK is hosting this, the 26th annual
00:17:53.380
United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow from October 31st. It started on
00:17:59.600
Sunday and it goes all the way to November 12th. COP just stands for Conference of the Parties. So the
00:18:06.260
COP26 summit will bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement
00:18:11.480
and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. More than 100 countries will take part. And so this is
00:18:17.720
just sort of the follow-up to the Paris Agreement. Now we are going to have the probably the Glasgow Agreement,
00:18:23.240
which will be even more ambitious in terms of reducing emissions and pushing the sort of
00:18:29.520
anti-energy, anti-oil worldview. And so the message coming out of COP26 was eat less meat and fly less,
00:18:38.360
which again is just such an ironic message given that we had, what, hundreds and hundreds of planes
00:18:43.600
flying in from all over the world to attend this silly little summit. According to our friends over at
00:18:50.300
the National Review, the big climate change summit welcomed up to 30,000 officials flying in on
00:18:56.460
planes. Private jets flying into the COP26 meeting will blast more CO2 than the Scots pump out in a
00:19:03.700
year. This is according to the daily record, a US outlet. So there will be more emissions from this
00:19:09.140
one weekend of climate change virtue signaling than all of Scotland puts out in an entire year. Just think
00:19:15.780
about that for a second and think about that next time you hear Justin Trudeau bloviating
00:19:19.720
about climate change and how we all need to do more. So there were more than 400 private jets
00:19:25.480
carrying world leaders and business executives into COP26, which will blast 13,000 tons of CO2 into
00:19:32.080
the atmosphere, the Sunday Mail revealed. So again, just just pure hypocrisy over by the global elites.
00:19:38.500
Okay, I just want to share this one quick tweet because it's pretty amusing. This comes from Canadian
00:19:43.060
journalist Glenn McGregor, who was very, very annoyed. Glenn McGregor, by the way, is a CTV journalist. He is a
00:19:49.700
member of the parliamentary press gallery, and he is very, very annoyed that he had to wait in line
00:19:55.460
in order to get into this conference. So here he posts this photo of all these people waiting to get
00:20:00.220
into the conference. He says this, massive lineups at delegate media security screening points for COP26
00:20:06.840
in Glasgow. Not COVID safe, not smart security. Poorly done, Scotland. And then he has a following
00:20:12.900
tweet. Glenn McGregor is clearly very annoyed that he had to wait in line here. He follows up and says,
00:20:17.600
I've been to G7s, G20s, Apex Summits, Summit of the Americans, and the United Nations General Assembly,
00:20:24.780
and I've never seen anything like this before. The UN and host countries should be embarrassed.
00:20:29.420
Shows poor planning. Okay, Glenn McGregor, so sorry that you had to wait outside for a few minutes. I know it must
00:20:34.660
have been just horrible. Well, the idea of a big conference welcoming, what, 30,000 people? I mean,
00:20:40.040
anyone who's ever been to a festival or anyone who's ever been to Disneyland knows that when you're
00:20:44.740
dealing with huge crowds, there's often huge lines. And this whole idea that is not COVID safe,
00:20:50.100
give me a break. One, you're outside. You're going to be safe outside. Number two, I guarantee that all
00:20:55.700
of these people are vaccinated because of exactly the type of people who would be vaccinated. I wouldn't
00:20:59.840
be surprised if they required vaccination in order to get in. And third, from best I can tell,
00:21:04.920
everyone's wearing a mask. So this whole idea that you just cry that it's not COVID safe anytime you
00:21:10.480
don't get your way is pretty pathetic. I just want to point this out quickly. As it is with any of
00:21:16.260
these international junkets, the whole thing is hypocrisy. Obviously, all these elites fly in from
00:21:20.940
all over the world. They lecture us about eating less meat and flying less. Meanwhile, they fly to their
00:21:25.700
hearts content all over the world. That's always been the case. And then the second major thing is
00:21:29.840
that these conferences always punish advanced developed Western countries. They always punish
00:21:34.580
the United States, particularly Canada as well. And there's no buy-in from the rest of the global
00:21:40.920
community. There's no buy-in from countries like China and India, both of which are the largest
00:21:46.180
submitters. You're not going to have a plan to reduce emissions around the world without the buy-in
00:21:50.880
of China and India. And I'll just quickly note how basically these two countries are saying,
00:21:55.700
no to this entire scheme. So China's leader, Xi Jinping, did not even bother to attend COP26.
00:22:01.520
I actually kind of give him credit for this. He didn't want to fly in and sort of be part of
00:22:05.660
his whole hypocritical show. So he attended by video link. And basically, China sends a modest
00:22:12.540
climate pledge to Glasgow, according to the South China Post. The updated document includes President
00:22:18.860
Xi Jinping's pledge last September that China will reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and
00:22:24.060
achieved neutrality, also known as net zero before 2060. Compared with China's previous pledge
00:22:30.020
submitted in 2016, there are also higher commitments to reducing emissions. So China didn't bother to
00:22:35.220
show up to the meeting. And the commitment that they sent in was really modest compared to what
00:22:39.840
the Western countries are demanding. So India also rejected calls to announce what their net zero carbon
00:22:45.620
emission target would be. So you have China saying, yeah, we'll probably get to it around 2060.
00:22:51.060
And India saying, no, we're not getting to it at all, which again, makes it a lot harder for those
00:22:56.480
in the West to claim that this is a global effort when the largest emitters, China and India, are
00:23:00.540
clearly not on board. And of course, there is the elephant in the room, which is that Canada and
00:23:05.420
Justin Trudeau have not met their own targets. Canada is not meeting its own targets. And yet here we
00:23:10.080
are lecturing the entire world and saying that none of these targets go far enough. Well, it's only a
00:23:14.940
little bit hypocritical. So despite being in office since 2015 and implementing a wide ranging set of
00:23:21.600
policies and schemes to tackle climate change, including the carbon tax, Trudeau's record isn't
00:23:26.480
anything to brag about. And who could forget this story over at TNC, liberals are set to miss their
00:23:32.060
2020 emission targets by up to 99%. That was from True North. That story came out last year. So the
00:23:38.940
liberals are poised to miss their 2020 greenhouse gas emissions target by up to 99.2%, according to the
00:23:44.480
latest government data. In his first term as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau proposed a plan to reduce
00:23:49.960
emissions in 2020 to 17% less than 2005 levels with a goal of achieving a 30% below 2005 benchmark by
00:23:59.140
2030. In 2005, Canada admitted 730 million tons of greenhouse gases. According to Trudeau's plans,
00:24:06.460
emissions in 2020 should be down to 606 tons. Yet government data revealed that Canada emitted
00:24:12.440
729 million tons of greenhouse gases this year. And then there's this embarrassing report saying
00:24:19.600
that Canada's emissions have increased the greatest in the G7 since the Paris report. So this is from
00:24:25.380
the left-wing Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. They say that Canada has shown the greatest emissions
00:24:31.200
increase since the G7 and the 2016 Paris Accord. So again, how can Justin Trudeau be taken seriously as
00:24:39.580
the dean of the G7 when his biggest priority is climate alarmism and he can't even meet his own
00:24:45.480
targets, despite implementing pretty widespread sweeping policies in Canada, including the carbon
00:24:51.140
tax. So Justin Trudeau's priorities don't match up with his abilities. He can't actually implement the
00:24:56.360
things that he really, really cares about. And that is because his abilities and his priorities are
00:25:01.460
completely counter to the world that we live in, real life, human nature. You cannot just simply move
00:25:06.740
away from the source of energy in a country. And Justin Trudeau is just so naive to even be trying.
00:25:12.920
He's so out of his league. He is so embarrassing. And every time he goes to one of these international
00:25:16.920
junkets or shows up on the world stage to start lecturing everybody about climate alarmism, it becomes
00:25:22.140
increasingly clear that this man should not be taken seriously. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
