00:00:00.000 So today I headed to the McDougall Center in Calgary for an exclusive one-on-one interview
00:00:05.840 with Alberta's Environment Minister Jason Nixon to talk about the meeting he was going to have
00:00:12.680 with the Federal Environment Minister Stephen Gilboa. Being a punctual sort of guy, I arrived
00:00:18.420 at the center fairly early and I was just in time actually to catch Stephen Gilboa and his rather
00:00:24.160 large entourage getting out of a sizeable black SUV and making their way into the meeting.
00:00:30.900 Now I didn't expect Gilboa to show up on a cargo bike or cross-country skis or anything
00:00:37.700 like that but it really does demonstrate the hypocrisy of these Environment Ministers from
00:00:44.620 Ottawa when they tell us we have to eschew oil now but they're still consuming it today.
00:00:51.200 The Electric Age isn't here yet and it's not even here for people with the resources
00:00:56.440 and the virtue signaling ability of our Federal Environment Minister. The irony is hard to
00:01:02.380 miss with him consuming Alberta petrochemical products as he sits down with an Alberta Environment
00:01:08.240 Minister to try and explain to us why we have to stop consuming petrochemical products.
00:01:21.200 Thank you.
00:01:22.200 Thank you.
00:01:23.200 Thank you.
00:01:24.200 Thank you.
