Welfare queen Canada can’t survive without handouts.

Andrew Moran, the economics editor at Liberty Nation News, writes that Canada seems to be quietly revising the core tenets of its “climate change” religion.  Under a headline that bluntly announces, “Canada Admits Justin Trudeau’s Climate Agenda Was a Scam,” and a lede that asks, “Is it too little, too late for the struggling nation?” Moran analyzes a seventeen-minute YouTube video that Prime Minister Mark Carney published on June 30.

In that video, Carney states that Canada can no longer afford to pursue the lofty “green energy” goals established by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, which, among other directives, required Canada to cut its “greenhouse gas emissions” by nearly 50% of its 2005 levels by 2030.  (For what it’s worth, the U.S. has greatly outperformed its parasitic neighbor up North with regard to emissions reductions, even though being “green” has become a big part of Canadians’ warped self-image.)  While Carney makes it clear that he remains a climate cultist at heart, his “fireside chat” with Canadians looks like a “rally ‘round the flag” pep talk meant to encourage his fellow climate-change-communists to bite their tongues for the sake of taking on President Trump.  Calling Trudeau’s environmental edicts “expensive” and “divisive” while paying lip service to Alberta’s energy industry in a year when the province’s conservative citizens are pushing hard for secession from the United Kingdom’s pet realm in North America, Canada’s premier central-banker-turned-prime-minister grudgingly admits that his ice commune cannot survive much longer by depending upon welfare handouts and free security from the United States.

“The climate crisis is still with us, and our commitment to fighting it is absolute,” Carney assures “global warming” zealots who see the productive use of hydrocarbon molecules as mortal sins leading to eternal damnation.  “But the certainties of the world of 2015 are long gone,” Carney laments much like a welfare queen who realizes his American taxpayer-provided largesse has come to an end.  “Our neighborhood hasn’t been this hostile since Canada was founded.  The world........
