Trudeau stresses balancing
economy, environment during brief Calgary Stampede visit
By Lauren Krugel ~~ The Canadian Press / Global News ~~ July 13, 2019
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has
told Liberal supporters their party is best positioned to get major projects
like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion built because it’s able to take
“difficult compromise positions” between growing the economy and protecting
the environment.
Trudeau made the remarks at a donor reception Saturday during his annual
Calgary Stampede visit, which included fewer public events than in the
past.
“Compromise is actually harder and more courageous than sitting on one
end of an issue, crossing your arms and saying ‘I’m standing on my
principles and I’m not moving,’ because that doesn’t actually require you
to listen to another point of view,” he said at a cafe on the 21st floor of
a downtown office tower.

with crude slogans on the plaza below....
Trudeau lecturing on the arts of
balance and compromise is hilarious, ironic and perfectly normal – for an
egotistical, schizophrenic, totalitarian sociopath. His self-portrayal as
captain courageous is not the picture we have of his past four years.
Declaring climate change to be a national emergency is not a logical or
rational decision.
Employing a universal carbon tax and demanding that provinces comply or
face having the tax federally imposed is not a compromise.
Trudeau needs to sit down with Catherine McKenna and explain that she is
losing her position as environment minister as she is unwilling to engage
in compromise, refuses to consider other opinions and her view is not
balanced between the economy and environment.
Imposing ridiculously severe environmental laws is not balanced or
reasonable. Imposing environmental laws without extensive consultations
with the provinces is not a compromise position.
Trudeau recently accused premiers who have gone to court to challenge his
carbon tax legislation of playing political games when that is all he and
his advisors in the PMO do.
It is frightening that Trudeau is expressing how others should deal with
conflicting issues but he has no intention of following those rules. It’s a
classic example of “do as I say, not as I do”. Only someone with severe
personality disorders expects to get away with this blatant deception.
