The young out to destroy

While the young seem on hell bent on destroying everything that us older Canadians worked and fought for, perhaps it will be their undoing in the end.

They want to destroy the economy of a once great province whose generously have contributed billions of dollars to the rest of Canada. The sin? Success in raising the quality of living for all Canadians but mostly socialist Quebec.

Imagine for a moment if they are successful. The fossil fuel industry has collapsed. Transport of goods now dependant on fossil fuel imported from the USA. Surely they wouldn’t take advantage of us Canadians who bravely fought again a warming planet and saved the world, would they? So since Canada can’t supply such things as diesel fuel that semi trucks need to transport goods and the last time I looked trains use diesel to propel their engines (electric trains are toys in case you forgot) Canada’s only option is to temporarily buy diesel from the USA.

Of course there is always aircraft — oops they use aviation fuel, damn another fossil fuel but no worries Canadians can always buy from the USA.

Quebec can always buy more from important suppliers from the Middle east and Venezuela instead of Canada. Really what do they care? They have indicated they have no social appetite for that terrible Alberta dirty fuel.

Saint Greta has scolded world leaders except in China, India, United States and Venezuela who are major polluters because she wants the world to penalize Alberta not major polluters. But hey reality does not exist in the eyes of Greta of Green Fables.

The latest fable in the quest to destroy Capitalism is the PETA like demonstration by dwellers living in their parents basement who are against Ribfest which is a fundraiser to help disadvantaged. What a great quest! Should they be successful nobody would lose I guess.

Yes I am an older white guy..surprise! Eventually they will win and BBQs will be outlawed. In the meantime those bastard extremely rich cattle ranchers will be outcasts in their own country but that doesn’t matter does it? These modern crusaders will be in charge of a country that is heated by dung.

Crops will be cut manually and diesel guzzling fossil fuel tractors and combines will be confiscated by the politically correct who were given ribbons for managing to show up at elementary and high school events.

Anybody else tired of the protest De Jour?  Those superior beings who glue or chain themselves to a variety of buildings should be left alone to protest. Why does anyone need to bring their quest to the public?

The generation following the protest generation might view thing a bit different. They might determine that the extreme  position of the lame generation that made their life so difficult could be different. But they will likely find impossible to change as the damage has been done. At my age I only can wring my hands and write comments about how I feel.
