This is an ALEC sponsored policy. (American Legislative Exchange Council). ALEC is Koch Industries among other corporate interests. CPC & Fraser Institute are members though SPN (State Policy Network). These policies are US Tea Party policies.
ALEC Tea Party policies are the entire reason US states are almost powerless to address COVid appropriately at the moment.
These laws have been adopted in the US at the state level, though pressure to adopt them federally was huge during Obama administration.
Basically States who have this policy promise not to deficit budget. So any changes or emergencies that arise mean cuts to existing programs.
This is why states cannot purchase enough PPR for healthcare staff, because it means cutting other programs to pay for it.
So when O’Toole says he supports this policy tool, he’s saying severe austerity measures and inability to respond to emerging threats without removing funding from other essential services is how he intends to address COVid.
Canadians can watch on cable tv the success rate.
Close to 5M infected with COVid and currently over 175,000 dead from inability to perform miracles with the budget restraints some states are forced to operate within.
O’Toole just aligned himself with American style austerity measures and trickledown economics that are killing and infecting Americans at exponential rates.
If you want to live with COVid and have no federal help to address it and it’s impact on peoples lives, pick O’Toole.
If you want better odds, the current LPC federal government has ensured access to PPE, provided COVid economic benefits for individuals and businesses and “supported” provinces financially in order to act when they would have let the disease run rampant.
Seems like a no brainer to me.
You want to create the nightmare US is suffering right now with COVid, elect O’Toole.
You want to remain safe and have a government support public health with funds and social pressure in provinces to step up, elect LPC.
Or you could take a chance on a party that’s never governed before who tells you what you want to hear, like feds can eternally fund school openings fully with their money tree, regardless of provincial neglect. Oh, and not raise your taxes, just wealthy’s & businesses’ taxes.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Stick to reality. COVid is a dangerous disease requiring federal and provincial support to mitigate the disease and its impact on the public’s health.
NDP would bury us in debt and CPC would cut off any support.
It’s not even a tough choice. Choose science and living, and the ability to emerge from COVid with hope for the future. Fake fantasy utopias and dismal hellish dystopias can be avoided.
This is sabotage of Liberal candidates using identity politics to destroy reputations.
Anyone under the impression these two people are pro Canada? No.
They’re antiestablishment anarcho syndicalists seeking to facilitate the social collapse we see occurring in US right now.
This bullshit needs to be exposed!
It’s occurring on both ends of extreme politics.
Rebel News destroying an Edmonton candidate who had a great chance to oust Tim Uppal.
When you align these efforts side by side, they’re the same.
They’re exactly the same.
Demonstrating clearly that the accusation I’ve made so many times about far left activists is 💯 accurate. Radical progressive left are NOT trying to win, they’re demoralizing voters.
Smith has done much to undermine the Team Canada bargaining position.
She is not advocating for Alberta from the position of loyal patriot. She’s bargaining on behalf of Trump’s interests; O&G oligarch’s interests.
Your confusion is understandable, she was elected as premier.
But was she really?
She was installed as leader after the former leader was ousted by radicalized religious fundamentalists in UCP. Kenney left even though he won the leadership confidence vote, but only by a small margin.
This is someone who is trying to get people to not vote.
Do not buy their bogus arguments.
In case you think I’m overreacting…
These are people trying to demoralize voters who have indicated a preference for the liberal party because of Trump. Because it’s clear LPC and PMMC are in majority party territory.
So this narrative is targeting the soft voter support.
People who don’t typically vote Liberal but feel motivated by fear to lend PMMC support to prevent a calamity like US annexation.
Typically that would be NDP voters and centrist conservatives.
Trump & his international conspirators are seeking to create a minority government.
But sure, Oxford’s standards are so weak they gave Carney a PhD without vetting his dissertation and it’s only come to be recognized as problematic 30 years later by Canadian cons desperately seeking a compromising narrative with which to smear PMMC during a federal campaign.
That accusation seems reasonable to some people? 🤪🤔🤭
Who? People who don’t have post secondary degrees or didn’t finish high school? That’s not disrespect. I have no expectations that those who don’t value educational achievement would appreciate the significance of Oxford.
When you look at this map and the corresponding commentary, it at first glance seems ridiculous and vapid to assume this is what Trump is working towards.
But that’s only if you ignore that we are currently in a major reset of global power dynamics and shifting of world order.
What most human beings ignore is that it’s not money that signifies power. It’s control of trade. Not trade itself, but control of trade routes, trade tariffs & trade barriers.
A review of history tells this is blatantly true.
It’s not technological advancement, it’s trade.
Assyria was undeniably the first empire controlling vast amounts of trade across the Fertile Crescent and beyond. Their wealth was unparalleled. We still use Sumerian number systems Assyria used for time & angles as well, the efficiency of bureaucracy they developed.
There were policies proposed in the last budget update which were problematic for more people than just Freeland.
The focus of labour parties is often only on workers. But the governing Liberal party must govern for all citizens, not just workers.
ALL CITIZENS!
Punishing those who own capital is not going to solve problems. It’s going to make them worse.
But that’s what the price of supplying confidence votes had become; abandoning liberal beliefs and values for Marxist principles. Except Liberals are not Marxists.
