@NickMilliken Those who value a social safety net and social democracy, would question why else a government collects taxes, if not for costly social programs?
It is a libertarian extremist who attempts to make taxes directed to social needs an aberration.
@NickMilliken Which means you’ve consolidated enough power to begin indoctrination of the public. The stage where you attempt to make it “normal” to cull the weak and ill to meet some sadistic austerity agenda the far right worships.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
It’s bull💩.
@NickMilliken It is NORMAL to care for the vulnerable and the ill.
It’s a human instinct to care for those less fortunate than ourselves, which is why human beings have done it for time immemorial.
Human empathy was not EVER just for the wealthy.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
It’s bull💩!
@NickMilliken Sociopaths and psychopaths, anti-social personality disorder and malignant narcissists deny empathy exists. But the are ABNORMAL! You will never succeed in convincing the public that letting grandma die because her medication is too expensive is ok.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
@NickMilliken You will NEVER convince the public that childcare is a privilege. Women make up 47.4% of the workforce. And two income families are the norm due to economic necessity. Childcare is a need. Children are our most valuable resource. All children, not just ones with wealthy parents.
@NickMilliken It is not normal, when we are on the verge of another Great Depression, to try to normalize absence of a social safety net, or to fob the responsibility off on charities and faith institutions. Alberta was abandoned the last time we had a Great Depression and extended drought.
@NickMilliken Precisely by the same type of religious extremists and libertarian ideologues. Some of us are well aware of our history. You will NOT succeed in convincing the average Albertan that low income deserve to starve or die of exposure.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
It’s bull💩!
@NickMilliken Expanded Employment Insurance is a federal nod to a Guaranteed Basic Standard of Living. Which most of the nation’s population supports. You will NOT NORMALIZE the abandonment of the vulnerable, aged and poor to draconian subsistence and charitable handouts using avarice.
Paleolibertarian beliefs are NOT NORMAL. They are an aberration of human empathy, utilitarian and consequentialist, an adulteration of Christian charity and vacant of moral and ethical justification.
UCP IDEOLOGY IS NOT NORMAL.
@NickMilliken UCP is a corrupt and morally abhorrent criminal enterprise masquerading as a government, selling poison infused koolaid as required austerity.
Your debased offensive and corrupt attempt to normalize indifference will not work.
Maybe stop giving Alberta’s public taxes away.
@NickMilliken IT IS NOT NORMAL TO EMPTY THE PUBLIC COFFERS AND TRANSFER THE WEALTH OF THE PROVINCE TO BIG CORPORATIONS AND THEN DENY THE PUBLIC THE VERY SERVICES THEY HAVE ALREADY PAID TO RECEIVE BY PAYING THEIR TAXES.
That’s criminal and corrupt.

The far right has radicalized its followers into weapons. Fuelled by hate and disregard for anyone that dissents from their beliefs, enraged radical extremists are taking matters into their own hands.
Sure, they took the report after the fact. But one would expect a police escort would be provided to a large group of teenagers protesting the utterance of the “N” word. Even if it were spontaneous in origin.
That’s law enforcement’s responsibility: to keep the peace.
When police don’t do their jobs to the best of their ability, it’s no reason to celebrate. It’s time to start asking tough questions.
What is notable is the scheduled variable leaks confirming an ongoing investigation.
It reminds me of Indictment Friday’s in the US for the Mueller Russia Election Interference Investigation.
Every Friday was hopeful that another indictment would be made. Millions across the globe waiting in anticipation for a glimpse into the investigation. Who was interviewed. Who sat before the Grand Jury. Who was indicted.
School based infections are exacerbating (increasing exponentially) the COVid morbidity rate.
Clear as day! Shut down schools NOW!
Children are spreading COVid everywhere by keeping schools open.
It is a CONSCIOUS & INFORMED choice at this point to greatly increase the spread of this disease and overwhelm the system, OR to shut down schools and ADAPT how we teach children and provide them learning experiences and socialization IN SMALLER BUBBLES.
This CAN NOT BE IGNORED. WE HAVE 4 weeks of data.
Read the chart. Every other area of transmission has stable rates that are manageable.
EXCEPT K-12 SCHOOLS!
Is UCP trying to KILL families with children, creating an orphan social class with lifelong health problems?
I for one am not surprised. I’ve known for quite some time that Power Attainment is the biggest priority of May and Green Party of Canada. It’s not the environment, social policy or truth.
207 schools are reporting at least one COVid case.
How much longer are we going to gamble with our children’s health?
We don’t know what the long term effects of COVid infection are.
But we do know that regardless of the presence of symptoms, there are lifelong effects in many patients.
Even those who suffer no symptoms show damage to their lungs. We do not know the lifetime risk of strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, system wide inflammation.
