Results: Maxime Bernier calls teen climate activist 'mentally unstable'
Published on 09/04/2019
People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier has doubled down after attempting to discredit an internationally recognized teenage climate change activist by calling her “mentally unstable.” The Twitter thread, which attracted plenty of negative reactions, essentially focused on Thunberg's call for complete societal change in order to combat climate change. He called Thunberg “the international mascot for climate alarmism” and claimed she is being used as “a convenient shield” by the left.

Greta Thunberg is open about her mental illnesses and has attracted many influential people towards advocating for climate change. Do you think that she is playing a "victim card" to become popular through the climate change problem? Yes
