"I think we see this pattern in most western democracies. When a left leaning progressive party comes to power they almost always begin an attempt to take away the rights of citizens. And they do what the video shows. The latest example of this is the Trudeau government's carbon tax. Canadian tax payers are being taxed because China and India are polluting like drunken sailors. Trudeau is now getting booed when he appears in public. Even his wife had enough of him. He can't be gone soon enough."
Just like auto seatbelt and SMOG laws. Hated, but the result was fewer deaths and cleaner air. Just because China is closer to a scorched earth approach doesn't mean the west has to keep ahead in the scorched earth race. The alternative resources are needed in our future, and we should get there first.

Western nations did not eliminate scorched earth policies. We have only exported it to other countries where they scorch the earth for us with slave labor mining and drilling for our needs.
