Everything in Canada is just a money grab.
The entrenched interest unions, UNIFOR, PSAC, etc are a bottomless pit of extortion, the government and the unionized thugs are the same people.
Of course they are going to exploit the naive population by using Climate Doom as another rubric to funnel money to feather the nests of the bloated public sector leviathan which is eating the country down to the bone.
It's easy to do when the children are indoctrinated from a young age by the teachers, college academics and left wing media propaganda arm, it's fed to them like mother's milk, it's literally a totalitarian Self Licking Ice Cream Cone, Soviet Union Lite in North Cuba.
Just another reason not to bother having kids in Canada, because you will not be able to stop them from being indoctrinated by this totalitarian self perpetuating regime, if you try to teach them other than the state propaganda arm narrative, your own children will lash out at you like the Maoist Red Guard for being "fascist" or whatever. Kindergarten to college, your kids are under the control of these leftist lunatics, you won't have any influence.
It's a lost cause to try to fight it, easily two thirds of the country is totally indoctrinated, you can't undo a lifetime of indoctrination after the fact, it's basically going to collapse under its own weight at some point, all you can do is wait for the debt bubble global financial crisis which will bring Cuba North down by market forces.
It's obviously not as brutal and militarized as the Soviet Union was, but it is Soviet in its need to wall itself from the world and be run as a Potemkin Village and that in the end is what will be its undoing.
It's not going to be the end of the world, but the bloated public sector Leviathan is basically going to eat itself to death, so bloated that it dies under its own girth. It's consuming all real economic activity in Canada and it will just keep going until there isn't enough real economic activity to feed it anymore, like the rabbits in Australia, they just keep breeding and eat all the food and then there's a massive die off all at once.
Innovation, competition and small business, which is the underlying basis of an economic food chain, the public sector unionized Leviathan in Canada deliberately destroys all that to protect itself, but in doing so it is destroying its own food chain. And nobody can restrain it, so there's no saving it from itself.
It's like that Kneedipper hack Yazmeen what's her face they always truck out on the CBC, she comes right out and states that Canada needs to destroy small business competition to prop the unions up, so it's not even like they are trying to deny it.
the indoctrinated population just takes whatever the CBC says as being the gospel, so the Leviathan doesn't have to hide its intentions, just invoke the Americans as a menace at the gates, and the Canadian Soviet will rally around the Liberal Party of Canada Flag and sing the Liberal Party of Canada song and praise the Socialist Workers Paradise to come.
