RE: Experts say Liberals in Atlantic Canada unfocussed, lack “coherent message.” A story by Michael Macdonald of the Canadian Press published in the Hamilton Spectator 30 Aug 21 along with a picture.  The picture is of Justin Trudeau turning and waving to unseen supporters just before he enters his campaign aircraft.  Photo credit goes to Sean Kilpatrick, The Canadian Press file photo.

Did you notice the size of the engine of the Trudeau 2021/Liberal campaign aircraft?  That isn’t some 7 passenger Gulfstream our hirsute hero is boarding, it’s a carbon belching behemoth suitable for Air Canada.  Trudeau uses this carbon belcher to fly around the country to tell us about the dangers of climate change and the sufferings he’s going to impose on us to make it go away.

Trudeau is evidently exempt from the ramifications of his climate change ideology.  He’s too important and the message is too important to subject him to some low carbon alternative.  Besides, his carbon belcher’s contribution to world CO2 emission is so miniscule, that it doesn’t matter.

But what does seem to matter is Canada’s miniscule contribution to world CO2 emissions, currently 1.5 percent of world total, and falling.  China’s contribution is 30 percent and rising, but that’s okay.  Canadian sacrifice can make room for China’s growth.  But we mustn’t talk about that, only about the evils Canadians do and the sacrifices they must endure to make amends.

Although Mr. Trudeau is waving and striking a heroic pose, no one else is in the picture, indicating the size of the crowd seeing him off.  Oh, there’s likely ground crew and a few staffers and local candidates, a small group too embarrassing to show.

Perhaps on election day, everyone will discover just how alone our national hero really is.
