The Will Rogers Of Politics

Despite all of the green virtue-signaling that comes from Ottawa on a regular basis, those who follow such things know that it is largely empty rhetoric that hides some very, very inconvenient truths. On the one hand, there never seems to be sufficient funds to implement meaningful programs that would improve people's lives (think full dentacare, pharmacare and affordable housing). On the other, there is no dearth of money to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, to the tune of many billions per year.

Despite that largesse, Big Oil seems unable to afford to clean up its own messes, despite additional government inducements to do so. The following video is well-worth viewing to see how environmental destruction by the industry continues apace.

The Canadian government is a world leader in pretending to be a world leader in environmentalism. Watch this ad from the brightest minds in Ottawa, who have cooked up a new climate solution: flushing a trillion litres of oil sands waste into Alberta’s largest river.

In true Will Rogers fashion, the Trudeau government clearly has never met a corporate entity it didn't like.
