Prince Harry warned against ALIENATING Canadians with climate change campaign – Express

Harry is a passionate environmentalist and has often spoken out about the dangers posed by climate change. While on a trip to Botswana last year, the Duke of Sussex described planet Earth as being in a state of emergency and encouraged people to join the fight. In an impassioned speech, he told an audience: We are losing the race against climate change. Everyone knows it. Theres no excuse for not knowing that.

The most troubling part of it is that I dont believe that theres anybody in this world that can deny science undeniable science and facts science and facts that have been around for the last 30, maybe 40, years and its only getting stronger and stronger.

Aaron Wudrick from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has cautioned Harry that he faces being given a chilly reception in Canada if he goes on the offensive with his global warming campaigning.

Mr Wudrick pointed out that almost half the country and western Canada in particular, where Harry and Meghan have made their new home, relied on the oil and gas industry for an income.

The CTF director, whose organisation has launched a campaign against the federal carbon tax, told Express.co.uk: We believe in climate change, but we do not support the tool they are using to fight it.

On that issue generally I think that if Harry wants to engage in political campaigns, he will need to be very sensitive to the political realities in Canada.

He will not find a very warm welcome in many parts of this country if he is aggressively in support of things like carbon taxes.

He will get a very chilly reception in many parts of Canada if he does.

He explained: So much of western Canada is a very natural resource based economy.

JUST IN:Meghan Markle and Prince Harry MUST have their security paid for by UK

On Thursday Mr Trudeaus Government finally admitted defeat and confirmed it would no longer fund the Duke and Duchess of Sussexs security bills.

Public Safety Canada, the body responsible for the royal couples security, said: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex choosing to relocate to Canada on a part-time basis presented our government with a unique and unprecedented set of circumstances.

The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) has been engaged with officials in the UK from the very beginning regarding security considerations.

"As the Duke and Duchess are currently recognised as Internationally Protected Persons, Canada has an obligation to provide security assistance on an as-needed basis.

At the request of the Metropolitan Police, the RCMP has been providing assistance to the Met since the arrival of the Duke and Duchess to Canada intermittently since November 2019.

The assistance will cease in the coming weeks, in keeping with their change in status."
