Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: So let's take a look at what's going on here.
- 0:06Speaker 1: So from cat Canada, Polyev calls out Trudeau's Environment minister
- 0:11Speaker 1: at Giobau for ignoring the warnings of his own Parks
- 0:14Speaker 1: department regarding Jasper to clear the brush and do controlled burns.
- 0:20Speaker 1: How about this post from Brian Lilly. Here's just one
- 0:23Speaker 1: example of the Conservatives asking about plans from the Liberal
- 0:27Speaker 1: government to prevent a devastating forest fire in Jasper. The
- 0:32Speaker 1: government knew about stands of dead trees killed by the
- 0:35Speaker 1: pine beetle and didn't act. This is from twenty seventeen
- 0:40Speaker 1: mister Speaker.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Jasper National Park, one of Canada's major tourist destination, has
- 0:46Speaker 2: been devastated by the pine beetle infestation. Much of the
- 0:49Speaker 2: forest is dead or dying. The dead trees are a
- 0:53Speaker 2: tremendous fuel load and present a significant risk to the
- 0:57Speaker 2: community of Jasper. Residents are concerned for their own safety
- 1:02Speaker 2: and that of the visitors and the security of their
- 1:05Speaker 2: homes with the high risk of wildfire fueled by a
- 1:08Speaker 2: forest devastated by the pine beetle. Have the Liberals put
- 1:14Speaker 2: a plan in place to protect this park? We are
- 1:19Speaker 2: an environment and.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Clumations thank you, mister Speaker. Our government is absolutely committed
- 1:26Speaker 3: to the ecological integrity of our national parks. That is
- 1:29Speaker 3: my first priority as a minister. We are working very
- 1:32Speaker 3: hard in all of our parks, including Jasper National Park.
- 1:35Speaker 3: I look forward to talking to the member further about
- 1:37Speaker 3: this and seeing how we can move forward. The kids.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Yeah, that didn't work out very well. Why wouldn't they
- 1:43Speaker 1: do that? Would they have a political reason to not
- 1:47Speaker 1: do that? I wonder? I wonder, I wonder if the
- 1:51Speaker 1: party that seems to have rested its entire political hopes
- 1:54Speaker 1: on terrifying people about global warming. I wonder if they
- 1:59Speaker 1: would have a re to not do their due diligence
- 2:02Speaker 1: and protecting areas like Jasper from forest fires by doing
- 2:07Speaker 1: their due dealership, by doing by doing responsible forest management,
- 2:12Speaker 1: especially when they've been warned over and over and over
- 2:15Speaker 1: again for years that there was a looming disaster. I
- 2:20Speaker 1: wonder if there's any perverse incentive they might have to
- 2:23Speaker 1: not do that, to just actually just let it happen.
- 2:27Speaker 4: I wonder, not only as the Prime Minister and his
- 2:30Speaker 4: government tax Canadians into poverty, his former Environment minister called
- 2:35Speaker 4: single moms and small businesses arsonists because they oppose the
- 2:40Speaker 4: carbon tax. Meanwhile, he ignored the warnings of his own
- 2:46Speaker 4: Parks Department that the Jasper Valley had turned into a tinderbox,
- 2:51Speaker 4: warnings that go back to twenty seventeen, seven years ago,
- 2:56Speaker 4: repeated warnings to clear the brush and do control burns.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Why didn't his government do the job and prevent or
- 3:04Speaker 4: mitigate this disastrous fire?
- 3:09Speaker 5: The right, honorable, plumbingistic mister steep Speaker is always astonishing
- 3:16Speaker 5: to hear the leader of the opposition talk about the
- 3:19Speaker 5: impacts of the extreme weather events related to climate change.
- 3:24Speaker 1: While he okay, but the question is why did you
- 3:26Speaker 1: ignore all those warnings. It's almost like you just let
- 3:31Speaker 1: it happen.
- 3:32Speaker 6: Opposes any climate action at all. He has no plan
- 3:37Speaker 6: to fight climate change, which means no plan for affordability,
- 3:41Speaker 6: which means no plan for the future of the Canadian economy.
- 3:45Speaker 6: We have a price on pollution that is putting more
- 3:48Speaker 6: money back in the pockets eight out of ten Canadians
- 3:51Speaker 6: where it applies, and is bringing down emissions and creating
- 3:55Speaker 6: growth and jobs. That's what Canadians need.
- 3:59Speaker 1: No, it's not. Actually, none of that would have prevented
- 4:02Speaker 1: the fire and Jasper the catastrophic fire in Jasper. What
- 4:06Speaker 1: would what would have prevented it? Was responsible forest management Jasper.
- 4:12Speaker 1: National parks are under your jurisdiction. Just In Trudeau, why
- 4:16Speaker 1: didn't you do Why didn't your government do anything after
- 4:20Speaker 1: being warned over and over and over again. Why it's interesting,
- 4:25Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you do? That doesn't seem to make any
- 4:28Speaker 1: sense because we all know, even even just In Trudeau,
- 4:33Speaker 1: even this guy, must know that carbon taxes aren't going
- 4:37Speaker 1: to stop global climate. Obviously, there is no mechanism by
- 4:43Speaker 1: which carbon taxes will change global weather. Right when you
- 4:47Speaker 1: take into account what is Canada's global share of emissions,
- 4:50Speaker 1: how much of that you can actually prevent from going out?
- 4:54Speaker 1: When you consider that if you just erased Canada off
- 4:56Speaker 1: the map, it would not change Just erase Canada off
- 4:59Speaker 1: the map in ten would not change the global global
- 5:01Speaker 1: climate one bit? Right, So he must know that nothing
- 5:06Speaker 1: that he's going on about, that he's preaching about would
- 5:09Speaker 1: have prevented that fire, but force management would have. So
- 5:14Speaker 1: why why didn't they do it? Being warned over and
- 5:17Speaker 1: over and over again, it feels like there's a perverse
- 5:20Speaker 1: incentive to not do it again when you have just
- 5:24Speaker 1: made your entire political career now out of global warming
- 5:28Speaker 1: or ninety percent of it. At this point, the whole racism, sexism,
- 5:33Speaker 1: misogyny thing is wearing a bit thin. So he got
- 5:36Speaker 1: he's gotta lean heavier into the global warming thing now.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just gonna say the obvious. I think
- 5:42Speaker 1: they didn't do it in the hopes that there would
- 5:44Speaker 1: be a fire so that would benefit them politically. I
- 5:47Speaker 1: don't think they're above that. I don't think they're they're
- 5:49Speaker 1: above anything at this point right, everything they've done is
- 5:54Speaker 1: being designed to hurt this country. Everything has been on purpose,
- 5:59Speaker 1: because if it hadn't been, they would have stopped by now. Anyway,
- 6:03Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share,

- 6:08Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time.
