It's been a joyous time for Trudeau as he increased his carbon footprint yet again, flying to Colorado Springs, the home of the North American Aerospace Defence (NORAD) Command, where he no doubt understood very little and appreciated even less..Neither Justin nor his father had much time for bilateral agreements with the United States but as long as the Yanks are paying, what the hell?.Then Trudeau got back into his government Challenger and flew to Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas where about half the Americas weren’t showing up — some because they weren’t invited and others because they couldn’t be bothered being hosted by the increasingly senile U.S. President Joe Biden who is prone to start snoozing by mid-afternoon when presented with lengthy lectures of any sort..But Trudeau took the opportunity to get together with his doppelganger, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), an utterly insipid failure of chief executives who faced a recall vote but was apparently saved by the patron saint of incompetent politicians. Newsom shares some of the same obsessions as Trudeau, including the belief catastrophic climate change is going to imminently destroy the planet unless we tax fossil fuels to death and force the masses to take mass transit or buy electric cars while the politicians and environmental czars can continue to fly in private jets to take the message to the people..So on Thursday, Trudeau and Newsom agreed to work together to “stave off the worst consequences of a warming planet” and Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and U.S. Environmental Protection Secretary Jared Blumenfeld signed something called a “framework” to do so. I’m not making this up. That’s what passes for a news report these days..Trudeau praised California and Newsom, saying Canada can agree and work with a partner that is working towards shared goals..One of those shared goals is apparently raising the price of gas to a point that nobody can afford to drive. Because just as the price of gas is hitting $10 a gallon in California, it is surpassing $2.20 a litre in B.C. and guess what? That’s $10 a gallon. Trudeau really has found his political alter ego!."Canada has always been a country that engages in the world, and whether it's engaging with like-minded countries or like-minded states like California, we're just there to get things done," Trudeau said..Trudeau didn’t mention the other objectives Newsom achieved while governor. Despite having some of the toughest gun laws in the United States, Newsom has some of the highest crime in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco where people basically just ignore the police because they don’t really have much authority to arrest people and if they do make an arrest, they won’t be in jail long. As we noted this week, people in San Francisco decided to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin because he was clearly working harder for the defence than the prosecution but Los Angeles is still in the grips of a madman DA named George Gascon who sends people to summer camp after they run over mothers and their children..And a trip to the U.S. for Trudeau just wouldn’t be complete without a meeting with his mentor, the doddering Joe Biden, who's never quite sure what conference he is at or even what state he is in. He still hasn’t made a public comment about the overheated Democrat rhetoric that clearly motivated a nutcase to attempt to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh because of the judge’s pro-life convictions..Biden himself has been stirring the hornet’s nest with febrile comments about allowing the states to decide the abortion issue creating a “mini revolution” and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) predicted Kavanaugh would “reap the whirlwind” if he challenged abortion, but Biden is still claiming white supremacists are lurking under every bed and plotting to overthrow the government..Biden, just as he is particularly sanguine about a faltering economy that is sinking into recession and potentially depression, was upbeat about the Summit — or maybe he thought he was at a PGA tournament..“I think we both share the same sense that the possibilities for our hemisphere are unlimited,” Biden told Trudeau, calling the region “most democratic hemisphere in the world.”.That’s quite an irony, given both of these clowns are making the hemisphere less and less democratic every day as a tag team for more censorship, more paranoia for domestic terrorism, more authoritarian repression of political enemies and more targeting of disinformation and hate speech..No doubt Trudeau will return to Canada declaring victory as he waves a “framework” in his hand that will guarantee no climate change in our time..Meanwhile the price of gas will continue to rise as will the price of food and the Canadians’ will watch their bank accounts evaporate..And you know what? Electric cars won’t be the answer. There’s a global shortage of batteries. Someone forgot to tell Biden that..Or maybe he just plain forgot.
