This quote comes from Trump. But it is ideologically aligned with Scheer, Ford & Kenney and their focus on prosperity over the existential threat of climate change from FF use.
Kind of makes you wonder what the common factor is behind the focus on prosperity vs survival of the planet.

It’s not obvious, because Trump and Ford are both boorish, gluttonous, & avarice fuelled capitalists.

But there is one factor that is common to all prosperity seekers.
The subject is taboo. Because it seems to involve religion. We are culturally indoctrinated to refrain from discussing religion.

But that pairing is a ruse. A deception to cloak the actions of a nefarious cult that generates exclusive access to wealth.
Dominionists have a stranglehold on the US Government and want exclusive access to Canadian resources.

They call themselves Christian, but that is to distract from the annihilation cult they all support. Some members, like Scheer & Kenney, believe their own rhetoric.
Others, like Trump & Ford, stand to benefit through the exclusive access to fossil fuel resource production. The impact on the rest of the globe’s inhabitants isn’t a consideration. It’s not on their radar.
These are people whose belief system &/or value system are toxic and self-serving. They cloak themselves in a shield of religious fundamentalism to preemptively disarm any criticism of their actions and dogmatic adherence.
This makes examining or dismantling their malevolent association and its intent difficult to accomplish.

It’s time to confront the taboo regarding criticism of “religious” doctrine.

Or perish en masse because it makes us uncomfortable to broach the subject.

Not a weird flex.

Unfortunately for us, this is the only way people like Chris Barber get attention.

They have no other skills or abilities to display. Their only ability to gain notoriety is to be the thorn in our side.

It’s a pathetic flex.
Maybe if we gave these outcasts just a little more attention before they misbehave, we could avoid their unimaginative effort to be memorable by behaving like an asshole to as many people as possible.

However, that’s would require acknowledgement of mediocrity and banality.
These folks are, in essence, the epitome of forgettable. Society would be required to reorganize to create meaningful roles and responsibilities for the mediocre. Because frankly, most of us are mediocre.

It is the dullness of status quo which permits the mediocre to excel.

Don’t you dare blame Canadian centrist and left wing politicians for the apparent BS being demonstrated by far right saboteurs in Atlantic Canada.

We are done with “both sides” have very fine people or divisive leaders.

This is a saboteur’s destabilization narrative.
No right exists to access crown land. And private land which abuts common/crown land must be protected from forest fires.

The forest is literally a tinderbox and every precaution must be taken. Individual rights don’t exist when the possibility of massive destruction is a risk.
The narratives being offered by libertarians, chaos agents, saboteurs, democratic subversion agents and “free-men-on-the-land” are designed to create doubt about the legality of the mandates and fines.

None of the rest of us are prepared to sacrifice the province.

This is the interesting and relevant part Gil.

Many Canadian’s lives and livelihoods are on the line. Trump has imposed additional tariffs to the 2.5% Canadian exporters would generally pay to avoid the costs of being CUSMA compliant. That’s no longer an option.
Changes in the environment require adaptation to preserve viability.

Canada is not forcing vendors and exporters to adopt one position over another. But the federal government has chosen to pivot and seek alternative markets rather than cow-tow to a maniacal wannabe dictator.
Exporters have options. Keep trading with US and become CUSMA compliant or find a new market.

Personally I believe doing both would be an easier transition for any vendor who is heavily reliant on US trade markets.

So I came across a post from this Postmedia journalist and had to use it in a lesson about propaganda.

It’s so blatant, and will make comprehension of complex issues easier for those who find policy discussions boring or difficult to follow.
My new project is tying current issues to policy content so everyone can understand what behaviours, values and opportunities policies are attempting to change, influence or create.

Deconstructing this propaganda is helpful to learn how policy works.

So you must read the article to comprehend its deconstruction.

The headline is titillating and grabs the attention of the consumer immediately.

Non-citizen immigrant gets off easy for attempting sex with what he thought was 15 year old.

Who wouldn’t be against that?

It’s interesting that so many switch allegiances with every utterance.

If you’re observant you can see who among your follows is unable to trust what’s happening is in their best interests.

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself” is good advice about now.
FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.

In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes and right now it’s rhyming.

Past fascists didn’t have modern technology, but they did have memes and political cartoons.

Most are the very same rhetoric we hear today.

So I’m going to do a cartoon essay to prove it. Image

It amazes me how easily people respond to radical left & right propaganda.

The radical left declares PMMC to be worse than Harper and people believe it without question.

Why?

These radicalized extremist assholes are no different than the far right. They play on your fears.
However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language. Image
PMMC probably believes it is difficult to misinterpret. But there is a major discrediting campaign being conducted against him. And I don’t believe he has much experience with this level of disinformation.

So he requires an experienced professional counter propagandist’s help.
