Kenney knows his policies will create hardship, suffering and even deaths. He’s not incompetent or stupid. He’s an extremist ideologue.
He does not believe or value public funds being spent on the public.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 It has nothing to do with stubbornness. Nothing to do with delusion. He knows exactly what he is doing and why.
He’s attempting to drain the treasury while in office. Stealing. Embezzling. Transferring wealth he believes belongs to those who own the means of production.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 His belief system includes the understanding that taxes are theft from the government and involuntary force applied to support policies and programs that benefit the public.
Which is why he is also proposing full privatization of all social services.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 In his mind, every member of the public has been robbing the true owners of capital of their profits. Thus, the attack on doctors, nurses, teachers and all public servants. He believes he is merely returning I’ll gotten goods to the rightful owners. The wealthy and corporations.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 When you understand his values and belief system, his behaviour, decisions and policies make sense. He’s a fascist.
Fascism is when corporations and the state work for mutual benefit. At the expense of the public and labour force.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 Kenney and UCP do not have the interests of the public anywhere in their list of priorities. They intend to collapse the system and rob Alberta blind. And leave Albertans destitute and weakened.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 It’s called Paleolibertarianism and the economic tools they are employing are called anarcho-capitalism.
Anarchy being a key concept.
If there is no government, no one can stop them from taking what they want.
This remains the best article I have found to describe Finkelstein’s Method. Primarily, Finkelstein was a number cruncher and campaign aid to some of the most caustic, authoritarian and destructive politicians to get elected in the past 60 years across the globe.
When you consider the impact this man had on shifting the public’s perception of liberalism, it’s astounding.
But it gets less mysterious when it’s revealed he was an Ayn Rand protégé in the late 1960’s.
People continue to think CPC’s behaviour is to cause an election.
It’s not.
For the past two years PP and CPC have been undermining Canadian democracy by attacking LPC and PMJT with false accusations. After the Ottawa occupation, LPC negotiated with NDP.
NDP got their requested policy. What did LPC get? They got to deliver policy promised during the 2021 campaign for the federal election.
Not just LPC policy, but also some NDP policy.
What was happening in committees during LPC’s 2nd term?
CPC was obstructing ALL policy.
They also got time to investigate the convoy and Coutts.
How likely do people think the Coutts 4 convictions would have been if there were a federal election? We already saw Smith try to interfere with Pawlowski’s trial. Convoy supporters consider Coutts 4 political prisoners.
@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe Canadian legal documents are not like American indictments.
Different systems. Typically, reporters & investigative journalists tell the story in Canada, while in the US, allegations are specifically listed in the indictment.
@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe Investigative journalism has been effectively shut down in Canada.
But even before that was completely in place, details of criminal charges have been kept quiet when charges are dropped or criminals plead guilty to lesser charges.
@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe For example, SNC-Lavelin corruption details are a mystery because so many of the accused pleaded guilty to lesser charges and the extent of the crime is now closed for public scrutiny.
Interesting to note, the details would have been made public had SNC-Lavelin signed a DPA.
I’m getting really tired of pundits calling for PMJT to step down.
Now that we KNOW it has been Russia poisoning the well and maligning PMJT’s character with fake accusations, conspiracy theories & outright lies, Canadians expect better from pundits, journalists and politicos!
