Radicalized Evangelical Christians are putting the rest of the community in danger by refusing to abide by covid measures. Contempt for others’ health while spreading a deadly disease is not a religious right.
That needs to be made clear in media reports.
Dr. Hinshaw addressed faith communities refusing to abide by covid measures. They’re breaking the law. This isn’t optional, the orders are mandatory and enforceable.
This article doesn’t analyze why the province wants to move to a provincial police force. While it reviews costs, it doesn’t delve into the “benefits” from the perspective of UCP. Why might UCP want it’s own police force?
To understand the decision making premise of UCP, first you need to understand their ideology.
Paleolibertarianism is the prevailing ideological base from which UCP operates.
While they call themselves conservative, paleolibertarians are not. They’re in a league of their own.
Roughly fashioned after Reconstruction Era 19th century Gilded Age Robber Barons and Redeemers, paleolibertarians represent “Old Conservatism,” institutional authoritarian governance through social pressure, and unregulated property rights and deregulated free market economies.
This is what the anti-trust laws of the early 20th century were meant to prevent.
The result was to divide Standard Oil (John A. Rockefeller’s oil monopoly) into several smaller companies. That solution didn’t really fix the problem though.
Years later, US anti-trust laws are being lobbied heavily to be repealed and to allow unregulated monopolies.
Just like Hawaii vacations. Apparently some people have more rights than others?
Maybe if the government pulls their licence to operate until covid is over or their parishioners are vaccinated?
I’m sure getting tired of covid doubters making life difficult for the rest of us & receiving polite letters and minimal fines for putting the public’s life at risk!
This is another one of those harsh realities mainstream Canadians prefer to rationalize away. You personally aren’t racist. You personally haven’t experienced racial hatred. So it’s difficult to empathize with those who have.
You are one grain of sand on the beach.
You’re open to new experiences and cultures. You may even have friends and relatives that are BIPOC. But you’re ignoring the dangerous and cutting shards of glass BIPOC must wade through to traverse the beach.
This is the action MLK jr. referred to as infuriating.
