This new proposed ON bill is similar in content to an ALEC bill.

alec.org/about/

American Legislative Exchange Council is a bill mill. Industry sponsored organization pumping out cookie cutter bills for industry friendly legislation.
Check it out. Here are 2 descriptions of the proposed Ontario bill, and a link to similar ALEC bill.

Canada accesses ALEC through the Fraser Institute’s membership in the State Policy Network.

Fraser Institute is a prominent Canadian think tank that hosts an annual Economic Freedom of North America Network Conference.

The SPN aids Canadian think tanks by concealing funders. It’s their policy to keep those funding these efforts in Canada & the US hidden from public scrutiny.
You may wonder why all the above screen shots are US focussed?

Because SPN destroys the myth that it’s Tides & Rockefeller blocking fossil fuel resources.

Here’s how they’re transforming society in Canada.

This is indoctrination & subversion of a foreign nation.
Canadian Conservatives are being trained & aided to victory by industry funded organizations.

Coordinated think tanks flooding MSM & social media with libertarian ideology.

Spinning disinformation campaigns provincially & nationally.

Funded by dark foreign & domestic money.
A list of industries who pay into ALEC for bills “friendly” to their profit margin.

Notice EXXON & KOCH INDUSTRIES are prominent donors.

Me thinks industry bought a few compliant leaders. Ford’s carrying out their agenda dutifully. Kenney will too.
Apparently the delay in implementation of these industry “friendly” policies is a few years behind. Ford is bringing in SPN/ALEC legislation 5 years after it was discussed. This Energy Agenda is from 2014.

GSA’s are student run and student initiated. Parents don’t need to be advised or aware of a student’s participation, unless the student informs them.

This is the issue being protested.

Parental rights do not give parents absolute control of their child’s existence.
It just means they have the responsibility to feed, clothe and shelter their child. They owe their child, not the other way around. We parents are their caretakers, not their owners.

Part of caretaking vs ownership is actually caring for your child.
Part of caring is loving them for who they are. And allowing them to be who they were born to be. We start doing everything for them, but gradually we must let them determine their own destiny.

Children and adults have a right to privacy.

Here is an example of consequentialism.

This person is only motivated by personal gain or avoidance of pain.

Using ends justify the means rationale, it is only their tax bill that matters to them, not the mitigation of poverty.
The benefit to society is inconsequential because it means a net loss to their bank account.

Justification for taxes is immoral to the consequentialist, esp. if it requires taxes to be used for the benefit of others. Something consequentialism does not ideologically support.
The consequentialist believes it’s the responsibility of those who’ve created the problem by being poor. Offering a helping hand is taking responsibility for another’s self imposed suffering.

This is Ayn Rand ideology. Everyone for themselves and screw the poor & middle classes

Heads up. This is the new attack on PM. Attacking his credibility and integrity.

blacklocks.ca/court-reopens-…

Another Finkelstein Method tactic. Using the courts to provide legitimacy to their accusations.
Remember Harper loaded the judiciary with ideological supporters during his 10 years as PM.

Just like Chuck McConnel is doing in the US since Trump was elected. Harper had 10 years, and in Canada, it’s the GG who appoints the judiciary, not the Senate.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_sys…
These are the two Governor Generals that would have approved every judicial appointment during Harper Government.

This role is highly ceremonial, basically approving every action that is proposed by the prevailing government.

An investigation by @USATODAY @azcentral and @Publici found *10,000* pieces of “copycat” state legislation introduced since 2011, with 2000+ passed into law; bills were written by special interests and not lawmakers. You know about some of them… usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
“Stand Your Ground” laws are the most infamous; just as widespread: laws designed to overrule the will of voters when they raised the minimum wage, banned plastic bags, or tightened gun laws, and laws intended to limit the ability of citizens to sue businesses for wrongdoing. /2
Wisconsin’s lege put into law a measure “limiting pain-and-suffering compensation for injured nursing-home residents, restricting payouts to lost wages, which the elderly residents don’t have.” This was the FIRST BILL Scott Walker proposed after Rs won both houses. /3

#ConCon 101
The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.
For anyone who doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to read this whole thread, I am also posting ConCon 101 EZ and ConCon 101 EZ+ which are much quicker. The purpose of this thread? #NoConCon
To convince you how vital it is for our country's future to oppose ANY state resolutions for ANY type of #ConCon. They are all dangerous for Democrats. #NoConCon
