Propaganda.

Misleading propaganda.

False equivalency.

This is what indoctrination of the masses looks like.
UCP is attempting to indoctrinate Albertans to devalue, dismiss and distrust ALL non-conservatives.

Taxpayers are footing the bill.

Including the 2/3 of Albertans they’ve targeted as untrustworthy.
I’m not really in favour of paying my provincial taxes, only to have them used to delegitimize my political beliefs and values.

How about you?

What’s next? Disenfranchisement of anything politically left of UCP ideology?

@kaythird just a suggestion or friendly advice...

I find straight facts supported by evidence, presented in a non threatening manner in a conversation are more easily received as information than panicked pleas for attention.
Not that we don’t have reason to panic. We do. But panic isn’t the best state of mind to be communicating what we need to panic about.

Panic is not a useful state of mind.

Remaining calm and rational helps others take you more seriously.
It takes longer to converse, and you are only able to reach a few people at a time.

But most shy away from panicked or forceful opinions.

This information isn’t opinion. It’s facts. It’s all documented in news articles that go back 10 years or more.

I’m sorry, but I tend to agree with Vicky. Please hear me out.

Though I don’t have an opinion on Mohawks. They are pretty militant on their own. For example, look what they did to a band chief when he called for the blockade to be removed as a gesture of good will.
I’ll demonstrate why I believe Cons have manipulated the situation from the start.

Wet’suwet’en has been consistently blocking access to their territory for 10 years. The issue is land title (with the Crown) and who has the authority to approve the location of the pipeline.
The issue has always been land claims of the Wet’suwet’en peoples. That is a legitimate claim.

It’s the cons and CGL that want to delegitimize that claim because it impedes the corporation from controlling the pipeline’s location & reveals the duplicity used to obtain approval.

Some of the funds, if not all have already been invested.

Kenney/UCP took possession of pension funds in Nov/19. By December 26/19 AIMCo and KKR had bought 65% of CGL ownership.

CGL is the pipeline currently being protested across the nation.
@MerlinofCanada @jkenney It’s the pipeline that has been contested for 10 years. Not because of lack of support for the pipeline, but because of land title issues.

Kenney took pension funds because no one else would invest in CGL. Because of the land claim dispute that has been an issue for 10 years.
@MerlinofCanada @jkenney As the new owners of majority of the project, KKR and AIMCo are responsible for applying for the new injunction.

AIMCo is not an arms length organization. Meaning the provincial government has the option to influence and direct Aimco decisions.

The @jkenney show was something to behold today—amidst announcements for treatment funding, those of us in #harmreduction waited in bated breath for some indication about the fate of supervised consumption services (SCS) in #Alberta.
While the SCS chatter didn’t start until after the announcements, the government’s continued negative attitude towards the service was in full force.

#Trump’s #G7 Misstatements, Lies, Distortions #Propaganda
❌False excuse for skipping climate mtg
❌China called to restart talks
❌‘2nd thoughts’ misinterpreted
❌G7 leaders wanted Russia back
❌Putin outsmarted Obama re Crimea
❌1stLady knows KJU
❌Lost $3-5B on presidency
@CNN
@CNN Great CNN graphic of Trump's #G7 distortions, lies & #propaganda missed a few Orwellian BIG LIES:
❌I don't care about making money
❌I don't do things for political reasons
❌I'm an environmentalist
Bombarding the public w/ absurd & provable lies is how fascists break societies.
@CNN By far the most disturbing thing Trump said at #G7 was reported in this piece by @PhilipRucker & @michaelbirnbaum: Going to the mat for Putin, Trump argued to remove #democracy as a core G7 principle. And became combative when the world's democratic leaders didn't agree with him.

Some are justifiably wondering why the #UCP's 2019 interim supply bill for libraries is drawing so much more criticism than the #NDP's in 2015 #abpoli #ableg

Here's what's different (1)
The #NDP's interim supply bill was tabled in June, to start July 1 (edmonton.ctvnews.ca/mobile/interim…). Folks who work for libraries in southern Alberta confirm they received 75% of their grant then, and the remaining 25% in early Sept thru special approval of the Minister of the day (2)
The #UCP's interim supply bill has come, literally, months later and is giving libraries 50% of their operating grant with about 6 weeks left in the fiscal year (3)

Hilarious. Also, this morning I read through the entire #UCP platform, and it is full of dogwhistles, pandering to business, and deeply troubling policy "ideas" (a word I'm using rather charitably here).

A thread will be forthcoming in the next little while. #ableg
As promised: deconstructing the #UCP platform.

Kenney continues to be leader of three parties, and we should all remember his astroturfing of social media accounts, like Unite Alberta. It's in this spirit, of course, that the platform isn't actually on the UCP website. #ableg
It's fine to have election-specific pages, but it's interesting to have an entire website dedicated to this campaign that, really, operates as yet another Kenney front, which was registered in 2016, a year and a half before the UCP even existed. #ableg

Everyone's heard of #FakeNews. Before it was called fake news, it was called #disinformation. The goal is to cause confusion and chaos, so people don't know who to trust or what to believe. THREAD 1 #RussianCollaborators #Propaganda #FridayFeeling #FridayMotivation
Disinformation promotes so much misleading & false info that people lose faith, give up. Disinformation is designed to weaken the enemy by discrediting it with lies and "leaks" of damaging "info". Hint: the enemy is us, the resistance. 2 washingtonpost.com/news/worldview…
Joseph #Stalin is credited with inventing the term "dezinformatsiya", defined in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia as "dissemination (in the press, on the radio, etc.) of false reports intended to mislead public opinion". 3 #ColdWar #Propaganda #Lies #misinformation
