Guilbeault Has Got To Go

Guilbeault Has Got To Go

We’ve said it before - and we’ll say it again:

Steven Guilbeault has got to go.

First, we thought the election would mean we’d be rid of him.

Then, even though the Liberals won again, there were rumours he’d be out of cabinet at least.

In the end, he was back in Cabinet, but relegated to being just the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.

For those not in the know, this is the political equivalent of being put out to pasture.

Not quite as bad as being put out of your misery, to continue the analogy, but still effectively the end of your “career”.

So, problem solved, right?

Not quite.

Somehow, Guilbeault just keeps on popping up - and every time, it’s to undermine the energy sector.

The latest example?

Minutes - literally just minutes - after Prime Minister Mark Carney told Canadians he was “very serious” about building new pipelines, Guilbeault jumped in to say that, actually, Carney is wrong and no new pipelines are needed in Canada.

Not only was he completely undermining his own government’s stated priorities (on Day 1!), he was also just wrong.

Guilbeault claimed that a new pipeline isn’t needed because Trans Mountain is only operating at just 40% capacity. 

In reality, it’s almost full already.

But facts have never gotten in Guilbeault’s way before.

Under his leadership at Environment and Climate Change Canada, Guilbeault pushed forward some of the most damaging, ideological, and unconstitutional policies this country has ever seen:

• The so-called Clean Electricity Regulations, which would destabilize power grids and drive electricity prices through the roof.
  
  
• The disastrous Just Transition, which would legislate thousands of good-paying oil and gas jobs out of existence, replacing them with fewer, lower-paid, government-approved “green” jobs.
  
  
• A looming emissions cap on the oil and gas sector, which is - let’s be honest - just a production cap by another name.
  
  
• The ban on gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035, a policy so out of touch it might as well have been designed in a fantasy world.
  
  
• And the now-overturned ban on single-use plastics, where his government declared plastic a “toxic substance” - a ruling struck down by the courts as unconstitutional.
  

These policies weren’t just bad ideas. 

They were unconstitutional and economically disastrous.

But Guilbeault didn’t care.

He never has.

And now, even when he’s not technically the one in charge, he’s still doing everything he can to block progress, undermine the economy, and impose his radical environmentalist ideology on the rest of the country.

Mark Carney says he’s serious about getting pipelines built.

If that’s true, he needs to prove it.

And he can prove it by getting rid of the one person who’s spent his entire career trying to stop them.
