I am calling on all #yyccc to denounce today’s anti-mask rally at City Hall.

@nenshi @BigRedyyc @peterdemong @CouncillorKeats
@JeromyYYC @gccarra @EWoolleyWard8 @DruhFarrell @JeffDavisonYYC @ChahalGeorge @seanchucalgary @JyotiGondek @Joe_Magliocca @Ward4Ward1
.@ChahalGeorge has stepped up.

Thank-you, George.

.@JyotiGondek has stepped up.

Thank-you Jyoti.

.@CalgaryPolice statement on today’s rally.

.@JeffDavisonYYC has stepped up.

Thank-you, Jeff.

.@gccarra has stepped up.

Thank-you.

.Looks like @CouncillorKeats has RT’d this thread.

Thank-you, Shane.
I appreciate you amplifying this, and look forward to your statement.
.@CBCRaffy shows a comparison between the statements from @CalgaryPolice today and @edmontonpolice last week.

Read them for yourself.

Also, I recall reading that a few #yeg police officers were injured at the rally last week.

“Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-government extremists have similarly seized on the pandemic “to promote disinformation and alternative narratives,””

Excerpt from @StewGlobal investigation.

h/t to @AdamMacVicar for sharing.

.@TaylorBraat_ covered this rally today in #yyc.

"This is becoming a pattern. A pattern of citizens hiding under the guise of an anti-mask campaign, taking to the streets, bringing out symbols of hatred like tiki torches."

—Professor Temitope Oriola, @UAlberta criminologist.

edmonton.ctvnews.ca/are-hate-group…
Even a top #UCP issues manager has announced that he has grown tired of the torches; suggests the use of umbrellas instead.
.@bymichaeldunn shares his observations of the rally in this thread:

.@samifouad shares his observations of the rally in this thread:

.@YYCantiracist reports on hate groups recruiting at the rally in front of Calgary City Hall, where #yyccc works and meets.

.@DruhFarrell has stepped up.

Thank-you!

.@EWoolleyWard8 has stepped up.

Thank-you!

.@JeromyYYC has released a statement in response to the event... siding with the anti-maskers.

It may be worth mentioning here that Mr. Farkas was a senior fellow at the Canada Strong and Free Network (the conservative think-thank formerly known as the Manning Centre) which is a member of the Atlas Network...

canadastrongandfree.network/speakers/jerom…
I discovered the Atlas Network when investigating who was supporting the anti-mask protests in #yyc.

It turns out that a number of individuals who work for Atlas Network partners in Alberta, like the JCCF, are encouraging these protesters.

.@BigRedyyc has stepped up in council.

Thank-you.

h/t to @LiveWire_DK for reporting.

.@nenshi has stepped up in council.

Thank-you.

h/t to @LiveWire_DK for reporting.

.@DruhFarrell expresses her concern for this hate group.

.@BigRedyyc's statement denouncing the Feb 27 event and reaffirming #yyccc's commitment to building an anti-racist community is put to a vote.

The motion passed unanimously.

I'm not saying that this happened because of pressure from me, but I'm please to see this statement by council.

.@seanchucalgary posted this statement publically today.

Thank-you.

I looked for public statements from the other councillors.

While I couldn’t find an independent statement from @nenshi, he spoke in council and RT’d almost all the statements other #yyccc members had posted on this topic.

Imagine bragging about how many people were infected with a preventable disease due to the gross negligence of Conservative premiers to manage the pandemic. ImageImage
In terms of rates, it’s like Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta were competing to have the highest case rates. Image
Under Kenney, Alberta has had more covid DEATHS than Nova Scotia has total cases. Image

"[Millennials] have been hardwired with *collectivist* ideas, (...) from their primary and secondary schools to universities. That's a cultural challenge for any Conservative Party, and we have to figure out how to break that."

--Jason Kenney.

Just a note here that while the term originated in the 19th century, *collectivism* was often used by Ayn Rand when she denounced anything that involved people cooperating with each other.

This is the definition that Rand, who hated "the common good" used. Image
Notice the distinction from the older meaning.

Which definition do you think Kenney is using in his dogwhistle, during his sit-down with Ezra Levant? Image

Want to play a media analysis exercise with me?

Of course you do!

Lets look at two articles about a topic and compare how they're covered.

Let's examine the laying off of 26 IT managers that happened late last year as covered by @CTVnews and @CBCNews.

#ableg #cdnmedia
First let's to CTV.

calgary.ctvnews.ca/26-it-managers…
Notice the title.

"26 IT managers laid off by Service Alberta due to budget constraints"

The implication here is that the budget constraints *forced* the hand of the government to fire essential IT workers.

When fascism comes to Alberta, it will march in the streets with torches.

NHL is on tonight, so...

In 2019 #yyccc approved spending $290 Million on a new arena.

In 2018 there were 2911 homeless people in Calgary.

That’s about $99,622.12 going to support Billionaire N. Murray Edwards for each homeless person in the city.

“Coun. Evan Woolley convinced only three fellow councillors that reconsidering the taxpayer-funded portion of the arena was the way forward.”

Woolley was right.
