Environment Minister Stephen Gilbeau is a socialist environmentalist who doesn't actually care about the environment. He just cares about climate change and wants to stoke the flames of the wildfires that are destroying small towns and cities across Canada.

00:00:00.000 In the least shocking news of the day, our far-left Liberal Environment Minister in Canada is deeply incompetent.
00:00:08.300 He seems to not really care if large wildfires are burning down small Canadian towns and cities as long as he still gets to use the aftermath to stand and stump for climate action.
00:00:19.920 And now, evidence is coming out showing that his ministry, the Ministry of Environment through Parks Canada, blocked firefighters from being able to save towns like Jasper, just told them to stand back and do nothing.
00:00:34.680 Brandon Leslie, the Conservative MP for Portage Lisgar in Manitoba, put this out today, saying,
00:00:39.980 Shocking testimony. 50 firefighters and 20 trucks ready to battle the flames were turned away by Minister Gilbeau's office on the ground.
00:00:48.800 Liberal failures in Jasper continue to be exposed. More to come.
00:00:52.880 And he put out this document underneath his statement on X, with this highlighted portion at the bottom.
00:00:58.880 These are from firefighters who were giving testimony.
00:01:01.440 It says,
00:01:03.060 We were informed that we were non-essential, and when the fire's risk rose again during August 2nd to 4th, with increasing fire behavior anticipated,
00:01:12.580 we were lawfully ordered by Parks Canada to leave Park by 1,400 hours, 2 p.m., and then 12, which we complied with.
00:01:21.600 That's absolutely insane.
00:01:23.580 So we had historical buildings burned down around and in Jasper, probably because the Canadian Environment Ministry didn't want firefighters getting involved to fight fires.
00:01:38.920 They might try and claim that, well, they weren't wild firefighters, people specifically tasked with that job.
00:01:44.480 But as wildfires start to approach Canadian towns and cities, why can local firefighters not participate in trying to save people's property?
00:01:53.980 That's absolutely insane.
00:01:56.320 Again, Environment Minister Stephen Gilbeau does not actually really care about climate change, like he does because he's a left-wing environmentalist.
00:02:05.900 But what you have to understand with left-wing environmentalists is that they care about left-wing ideology before the environment.
00:02:13.460 And climate action's a great way of pushing socialism.
00:02:17.720 You get to basically say that the government should have more control over the economy for environmental reasons,
00:02:23.880 without really the need to be able to justify yourself other than the fact that bad things could happen
00:02:29.540 if the government doesn't start taxing you on this, or take over this industry, or block this mine, or block this oil and gas project.
00:02:36.960 The revolution always matters more than the actual issue that they're talking about.
00:02:43.000 Stephen Gilbeau would let more force burn down as long as he gets to stump harder on climate change issues.
00:02:51.600 And maybe he would regret the fact that this all happened, but again, his actions speak louder than his words.
00:02:58.820 We already had reports being released that other MPs put out showing that the Liberals were being begged by their own people,
00:03:07.120 by their deputy ministers, to not cancel force management tools like small controlled burns
00:03:14.420 to be able to prevent large buildups of deadwood from causing mass wildfires.
00:03:20.820 And Stephen Gilbeau was just considering getting rid of all of it, because he doesn't actually care.
00:03:26.140 He does not believe in the concept of force management.
00:03:29.680 So as a conservative, if you're ever accused of not believing in climate change,
00:03:34.180 even though everyone acknowledges that the climate changes,
00:03:37.160 people just disagree on how much of an impact humans can have on the actual temperature on the planet,
00:03:44.000 obviously anything that goes into the atmosphere will have an impact on the temperature.
00:03:48.360 If you just put up a bunch of rubber ducks around the planet,
00:03:51.100 you would probably end up changing the climate in some way,
00:03:54.920 because everything on the planet contributes to it.
00:03:57.940 There you go.
00:03:58.620 But if anyone accuses you of not believing in climate change,
00:04:01.880 ask them if they believe in force management, because apparently they do not.
00:04:06.060 They do not believe that we can let foresting companies,
00:04:09.440 let logging companies cut trails through the forest to be able to create fire breaks.
00:04:14.380 They don't believe in clearing deadwood to make sure that there's just not a giant pile of fuel for wildfires to exploit.
00:04:21.620 And then it causes fires to become like small county fires to go into massive provincial fires.
00:04:27.740 They don't seem to believe in it.
00:04:29.500 But again, it's because it doesn't really matter to them,
00:04:32.700 because the thing that matters to them more than the environment,
00:04:35.700 more than whatever issue they're talking about,
00:04:38.280 is government control and management of the economy.
00:04:42.020 Stephen Gilboa is a socialist first, and an environmentalist second,
00:04:46.520 and apparently a forest manager exactly last.
00:04:50.360 This guy is absolutely incompetent in his job,
00:04:53.820 and you should not be shocked when we have polling models coming out like this,
00:04:58.760 showing that the Conservatives could win as many as 240 seats,
00:05:02.920 with the bloc coming in second with 44 seats,
00:05:06.020 the Liberals with 33, and the NDP with 25.
00:05:09.640 Nobody trusts the Liberals anymore.
00:05:12.740 They're bad at their jobs,
00:05:14.260 on top of the fact that I think a bunch of them don't even care about doing a good job.
00:05:18.480 They care more about their own more left-wing ideology
00:05:21.820 than they care about the well-being of Canadian people or our forests and parks.
00:05:28.880 Anyways, guys, I'll see you tomorrow.
