Don’t forget to shame them to tears.

Literal tears.

Canada does not respect those who try to use double standards. There are NOT two sets of rules. One for the plebs and one for the political class.
These people need to be verbally eviscerated for attempting to exempt themselves from COVid orders.

They should be fined and lose their jobs. It’s irrelevant which party they belong to. People are dying and leaders have the extra responsibility to lead by example.
It’s fricking ridiculous that seniors and people with comorbidities are dying in droves and these people have some sense of entitlement that they deserve a vacation?

Everyone else has to isolate at home while these politicians and pundits jet set somewhere warm to relax?!?😡
There is absolutely zero room to claim ignorance. It’s irrelevant if this was planned months ago. THE GLOBE IS EXPERIENCING A DEADLY A PANDEMIC!!! Since mid March 2020. Every human alive that can form a cogent thought is aware of the dangers and knows travel enables transmission.
Society is experiencing several rogue libertarians refusing to comply with public health orders. This puts everybody else at risk, but especially the frontline workers and essential services workers.

Politicians & the wealthy DO NOT have special freedoms to spread disease.
Public health orders apply to every person and citizen. But especially to politicians and the support staff who are responsible for implementing public health policies and legislation.

They not only should know better, it’s expected for them to role model the behaviour desired.
There are already 14,597 dead Canadians because people continue to spread the virus.

Teachers, nurses, physicians, grocery workers, trash collectors, water safety technicians, utility managers, police, first responders, transporters of goods and hospital workers.
How many of those people deserve to die because Hawaii beckoned? Or Bahamas? Or London, UK or family in far off locales?

How the hell are confused members of the public supposed to abide by public health orders when politicians and their staff don’t feel the need?
First, you want to return to Canada from your exotic vacation? Pay for it yourself.

Second, travellers are required to isolate for 14 days upon return. Do it in a monitored facility. We don’t need any more mistakes since the new virus variant is widespread across the globe.
You don’t get a free pass to potentially kill essential workers or anyone else for that matter, because of your egotistical, hedonistic, utterly hubristic desire to relax, visit family, go to a meeting.
And as for that job you currently have, please hand in your resignation. You’ve demonstrated abundantly with your disregard for the public’s health, that you neither have the intellectual constitution to cut it or respect for the public to hold such an important position.

The lack of empathy is astounding.

Michelle Rempel reveals she made the decision to stay in Canada because she might get caught, not because she believes it to be the correct and ethical thing to do.
Listing a number of reasons she feels so traumatized by the restrictions of COVID is priceless political theatre. Everyone is in the same boat. None of us can visit with family.

But Ms Rempel feels entitled and denied that privilege because of CBC reporters.
Screw the plebs who are in the same situation. She’s Michelle Rempel. A politician. She sacrifices so much already. And deserves special treatment. But CBC is the vulture waiting for her to cash in on special privileges.

If you read this article, it’s comical.

The hubris and arrogance it displays is so over the top, it’s almost unbelievable.
Apparently the premiers of Canada now believe they are in charge of federal decision making. Not the Prime Minister.

Or at least that’s what the author is trying to sell readers.

I’ve never seen anything more comical in my life. Image
Excessive arrogance and hubris. But so egregiously over the boundaries of believable, it’s hilarious. Who is going to believe that premiers across Canada ignored the constitution and the subsequent assignment of purview to go to bat for Alberta and Jason Kenny? 😆😅🤣

A lot of people are trying to figure out what UCP means by putting this biblical quote out into the twitter verse at Christmas.

Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.
The quote is often repeated at Christmas. “A child is born...” makes reference to the birth of Jesus. Makes sense.

But what does it mean?

Christians (and other religious observers with their religious texts) have made an art form out of interpreting what passages mean.
To those most radically devout (some might say zealously faithful), hidden divine meanings are gleaned from “correctly” reading the bible.

That’s what Dominionists believe. That god himself wrote the bible. Through inspiration of the actual authors, & only they can interpret.

Observe the almost vertical rise in COVid hospital admissions in orange. Even after modest COVid restrictions have been put in place.

This is exponential growth. We need more restrictions to crest the peak. While ICU admissions are not as dramatic, compare them to Thanksgiving.
Compare Calgary and Edmonton.

Observe the region hardest hit in first wave is now the lowest percentage positive.

Is that reduced testing or better behaviour?
Seven local health areas in Edmonton vs two in Calgary. Exact opposite from first wave. Why? How?

Wetaskiwin is the only local health area on an accelerated rise in cases.

When an ideologue is referring to social mobility, one has to wonder.

Which social group is he referring to and how socially mobile is the vision?

UCP paleolibertarian ideology doesn’t promote social mobility. In fact it reinforces class stratification as natural.
So, is this statement from Kenney just gaslighting (i.e. lying to gain support for outcomes that UCP has no intention of achieving?), or is this targeted rhetoric for certain demographics (white, middle income, males?).
It’s both.

The curriculum being proposed is neo-Confederate.

It’s based on the belief of the superiority of white superiority, as evidenced by reliance on classic liberal arts, and reinforced with removal of critical thinking to be replaced by rote memorization & repetition.

If you have the time, please read this interview.

Mariana Mazzucato is making a huge impact on how we view value of work. She’s an economist that is brilliant and takes a hands on approach.

To make the economy work for everyone is her goal.
She understands power and how it is used. She understands how value is incorrectly linked with price and how that influences the entire system.

She understands how to change policies that will benefit all & is teaching governments how to create those policies. Including Canada.
The entire globe is studying her theories and practical policy applications.

Dubbed the “most dangerous economist in the world” by Financial Post, she is striving to improve how governments shape economies.
