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.

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.

As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.

This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now!
I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.
In Canada, it’s FN and the Inuit who have suffered the most oppression. Their way of life was targeted for elimination. But so too were the Métis. Just in different ways.

Inuit & FN were oppressed thru apartheid type communities that treated people like second class citizens.

A very difficult question to answer. Not because it’s complicated. It’s not. It’s rather simple.

But most people aren’t aware of these issues because the far right and radical left work so hard to distract from actual issues and agreed upon solutions. @Vanessa_Sarges
With that caveat now in place, the answer is as follows:

During Trump’s first term, he arranged for Mike Pompeo, former DCI, to meet with Russia to develop “cooperation” for cyber crime investigations.

That’s probably what people remember and immediately think of irt the 2AP. Image
But that is not what the Second Additional Protocol is about.

The 2AP is an international agreement that enables signatory nations to access information while conducting investigations involving cybercrime.

It was discussed in 2022, when Biden was president. Not Trump.

Anyone notice the First Nation Chief interviewed is negotiating in public, right out in the open?

aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
He indicates some First Nations actually support secession from Canada.

The plan for Treaty 6 chiefs was to get assurance that Treaty would be recognized & honoured. Not block the referendum.

The article acknowledges language changes, but it serves secessionists interests. Image
Image
It does not serve Treaty 6 chiefs’ interests of preserving the established legal treaty status and rights.

But treaties don’t transfer from one state to another when secession or annexation occurs.

Just like passports and pensions. They are not automatically transferred.

@sqirlgirly I don’t care how devastated Americans are feeling right now.

I’m enraged that so many are sorry now that the evil has been unleashed. But they had a viable alternative that 90 million chose to stay home and not elect.

They weren’t bothered to help themselves.
@sqirlgirly Now that Canada is under threat of losing sovereignty from a madman and a large number of American Nazis and white supremacists who were cited into power by masquerading as Christians, they want absolution.

Fuck that.
@sqirlgirly They couldn’t be bothered to think of anyone but themselves and their “cost of living” worries when it mattered.

Why should Canadians forgive those who recognize now what has been unleashed? No.

Fight to regain control of their own govt.

Then I might have some empathy.

Ok.

Many think this is a distraction.

And it is.

But, UCP is NOT concerned about negative media coverage in one news media with a paywall while several pro con media (mainstream and independent) continue to ignore the corrupt-care scandal we are all so bent out of shape over. Image
Image
Book banning is not a distraction.

This is the main focus of the Christian Nationalist base within UCP.

Think back to the provincial NDP govt in Alberta. Remember the traditionalist Christian and Muslim reaction to Ontario sex education curriculum in 2018.
This is Project 2025 policy being implemented at a provincial level as a way of ensuring UCP doesn’t lose support.

I’m sorry if you consider this a distraction, but it’s what the radicalized extremist base has been demanding.

While MLA Guthrie is appalled, no one else is.
