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.

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

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.

So…

I decided to deconstruct and analyze the Federal Liberal Party Mandate Letter.

The letter is available online. I just want to focus on what to expect in the coming months since a budget will not be forthcoming for awhile.

After reading the mandate letter, I can see why.
Language conveys meaning. Words are chosen carefully. I have no doubt PM Carney composed this himself. It’s bureaucratic speak. But it’s relatively easy to understand.

First: a new approach to governing.

Expect prodigious and monumental changes within the public service. Image
Foreign policy, industry & trade, and national security will be front and centre. What does this look like? Steel workers, ship builders, weapons manufacturers and ammunitions factories will be mobilized quickly.

Steel workers have no need to be concerned about US tariffs. Image

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.
