ARROGANCE, IGNORANCE, WISHFUL THINKING ON DISPLAY

     Goldstein, Toronto Sun: The Trudeau government’s approach to addressing climate change — a combination of arrogance, ignorance and wishful thinking — has been on full display in Ottawa in recent days.
     On Sunday, on CTV’s Question Period, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna repeatedly dodged basic questions from host Evan Solomon on how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reach his absurdly unrealistic 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target.
     Instead, she veered off into a partisan rant about, how, because she has “three kids” and we need to “save the planet,” she has “no time” for Canadians, including federal and provincial politicians, who oppose Trudeau’s carbon pricing scheme.   McKenna equated that with climate denial, with those who, she said, “pretend that climate change isn’t real.”
     So if you’re not on board with Trudeau’s carbon pricing scheme, according to McKenna, you’re against children and the planet.
