Elizabeth Nickson: How "mind-numbingly privileged from birth" Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "green" agenda destroyed British Columbia

Believe it or not, there was a time when British Columbia, Canada, was a thriving hub of peace, prosperity, innovation and success. All of that changed, though, thanks to the efforts of 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Journalist Elizabeth Nickson wrote a piece for her Welcome to Absurdistan blog about how Kennedy single-handedly destroyed British Columbia and the thriving economy it once had with his tyrannical "green" agenda. Now, to be fair, Kennedy appears to be changing in some ways from the person he once was. At the same time, he comes from a long line of wealth and entitlement, which heavily impacted his environmental pursuits, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s when he led the very protest that ultimately demolished British Columbia, which used to have the largest industrial forest in the world. "It paid for education and universal 'free' health care," Nickson writes about that forest. "The environmental left decided to shut it down," she adds, noting that their reasoning was that the government, "as was common practice, had sold cutting permits with long leaseholds." The new socialist government that installed itself around this same time decided that it was going to pull all the permits and take those forests back in order to "save the planet." What ended up actually happening was the collapse of Western Canada and all the great things it used to be before the greens, led by Kennedy, took over the place. (Related: Last fall, Kennedy caved to Zionism by calling on college and university campuses across America to impose "zero-tolerance policies" for "antisemitism.")

RFK Jr.'s past environmental escapades destroyed many lives

In order to avoid losing all the money they invested in the forests, the lessees immediately clear cut their lands, which while ugly to look at make great fire breaks. Protests ensued, though, because the greens decided that the clear cutting was an assault on the environment. "RFK Jr. came in under RiverKeepers and supercharged the protest," Nickson says. "His celebrity and glamour made the protest major international news. I was in London, I heard about it. More kids joined the protest. And then more and more. Until the government caved." "Would it have happened without his presence? I do not think so. He gave very young people who had no access to power, nor any hope of it, ever, a very heady hit of significance and their lives took on huge, huge meaning. For many it remains the high point of their lives. Because for the province, it was all downhill from there. All promise vanished and a grinding slow growth followed." Chances are that Kennedy is simply too insulated in his own privileged world that he is unable to make a connection between his past environmental extremism and the destruction of entire regional economies and societies. Either that or he is a serious wolf in sheep's clothing leading the people astray – which do you think it is? "I admire the heck out of his work on vaccines," Hickson writes positively about Kennedy. "I admire his work on cleaning rivers and destroying polluters on the east coast. I admire his courage to take up the leadership baton. I admire the many sensible things he says." "But then, I remind myself of sitting in a packed auditorium in San Francisco while he shrieked at the crowd for 45 minutes, starting it with parading his glamour coming in on a private plane with his kids, while the hoi polloi in the audience were thrilled at proximity to power, wealth, history and glamor. Then, he sent every resource worker and business straight to hell, and jailed climate skeptics. The greens are destroying the world, one livelihood at a time. Learn more at GreenTyranny.news.
