I watched original The Corporation and watched “The New Corporation” on @CraveCanada today. If you care about the state of affairs un your world watch it! thenewcorporation.movie & agree with @terry_truchan & @Shratno to just watch it... sharing my takeaways in what follows 1/12

Beware of Corporate branding that uses “friend & ally” brand messaging “we are a good company” we’re innovating to help you etc ... this could be big corporations simply white washing their brand to conceal their true agenda 2/12

Another one to watch out for is “our business has innovated & solved this problem” & then they take over government operations & lobby 4 deregulation edicts creates a monopoly for them i.e. Alberta’s privatizing Alberta Registries department with exclusive 35 yard contract 3/12

Companies don’t pay their fair share, for example, orphaned & abandoned oil & gas wells in Alberta, the Federal & Alberta government provide corporate welfare $$$ under the guise of “creating jobs” to fund what these companies were legally required to do in the first place 4/12

Take whatever you can, create a crisis, @jkenney has been gaslighting these issues since taking office, think abandoned oil & gas Wells and cancelation of the XL pipeline, gaining outrage while wasting billions 5/12

Using information to control people, @UCPCaucus has used the #pandemic and #COVID19AB to obfuscate the true facts & control data, just ask @MerlinofCanada how many #Alberta under age 19 have contracted #COVID19AB almost 20% of all cases <age 19 never hear that from @jkenney 6/12

Manipulate people’s worldview, aka gaslighting, think kids under age 19 with #Covid19AB, #nocoalAB and Keystone XL pipeline... these are examples of wide spread political & business malfeasance that is costing jobs, lives and campaigning 2 years before the next election 7/12

Exploit an unequal advantage, creating new laws that #Alberta government can create an “ministerial order” and retroactively or proactively change laws by simply writing a letter & then issue a Press release which bypasses democratic accountability in legislature #ableg 8/12

Don’t like the laws? Change them without consultation, canceling master contract with Alberta Doctors, taking over #abteachers #pension and a rescind 1976 #coal policy to name just a few 9/12

Don’t enforce laws, orphan oil & gas wells, mandatory mask mandate, churches allowed to flaunt health orders without consequences 10/12

Putting corporate profits ahead of next generation, tax breaks for big business, handing over Alberta registries, ignoring climate change and pandering to oil & gas 11/12

I’m tired and 😞 I’m stopping here it’s so overwhelming but we have to speak up and make your voice heard here and elsewhere, just #ResignKenney already 12/12

At the beginning of this movie there is a line... “the greed economy is killing me” ... of all the characteristics of entrepreneurs, *greed* is the most dangerous & insidious, goose stepping us toward tyranny, #wewillrise let’s unite to force @ucpcaucus out of office

The last 10 minutes of thenewcorporation.movie were the hardest 4 me 2 watch, the corporate profit agenda has failed us, we must #embraceChange & #ReinInCorporations otherwise history will find we were asleep with our privileged existence #leaveNoneBehind 14/

Hunger 4 corporate profit (greed) is the single biggest ethical conflict, greed & the drive for profit will always corrupt every other ethic because greed 4 profit corrupts & creates conflict of interest, until greed is reined in capitalism will consumer our basic freedoms 15/
