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.

sourcewatch.org/index.php/Stat…
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.

PP’s main political ad states, “anyone from anywhere can do anything…”. That statement is the most egregious lie I’ve ever heard.

This attitude and belief is why people who support CPC are so agitated. They have been indoctrinated to believe they are entitled to power.
We have all been told we can achieve any goal if we put in the effort. But listen carefully to the content of PP’s promise.

Anyone from anywhere can do anything.

That’s indoctrinating propaganda. Not a campaign commitment.

PP has campaigned for 3 years on a broken Canada.
The official campaign narrative is a propaganda Big Lie.

Canada NEVER promised guaranteed success for hard work. That’s the “American Dream” narrative repackaged as the “Canadian promise”.

It’s slick propaganda that targets those suffering economic hardship. Image

I’m actually not surprised that a couple negative experiences and people are willing to abandon their beliefs and values.

Some facts:

Journalists are human beings.

Gilmore has progressive values and beliefs.

Disinformation is used to manipulate perception & behaviour.
I have seen a tendency to favour radical left progressives in her analysis. But she remains quite accurate nonetheless. Gilmore hasn’t misrepresented facts & truth, often going above and beyond to establish a common reality & truth.

We are being forced to judge her credibility.
Where is mistrust originating? I’ll take a stab at this.

Gilmore wasn’t fired from her Friday fact checking segment. The management at CTV decided the backlash from loyal viewers wasn’t worth losing viewers (money) to establish reality.

It’s why for-profit businesses exist.

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. Image

This bullshit needs to be exposed!

It’s occurring on both ends of extreme politics.

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.

Ok. We all understand the bargaining chip rationale for the reason Smith should not keep mentioning export tariffs on O&G.

What I am now pointing out to Albertans is that Smith is and always has been an American bargaining chip.
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.

Since then, a “grassroots” movement took over.

This is someone who is trying to get people to not vote.

Do not buy their bogus arguments. Image
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. Image
Image
Image
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.

What I find hilarious is the cons aren’t questioning PM Carney. They’re questioning the validity of his Oxford PhD.

Oxford is a top university that’s been in operation for roughly a millennia, since 1096.

Oxford is the oldest English speaking university globally.
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.
