Here is a Real Talk @ryanjespersen interview with Shannon Phillips who discusses the implications and details how bad this really is.
Watch from 3:56 to 32:00 approximately.
I encourage people to watch it twice. Once to hear Shannon and once to read the live chat commentary accompanying the interview.
I agree with Ryan Jesperson. If you believe this is only happening to MLA Phillips, you haven’t been paying attention to the slide into autocracy and police state territory Alberta has been on. WTFU! We have police acting like Alberta is a police state.
What most don’t realize is that Singh completely understands the division of responsibility. What he’s doing repeatedly is selling acceptance of nationalization of all authority.
Meaning, he’s promoting autocracy replace the constitution.
People keep stating Jagmeet Singh doesn’t understand section 90 and 91 of the constitution.
He does understand. What he’s doing is recommending the federal government override those sections and impose central authority to get policy implemented.
That’s a big difference.
We must stop mislabeling politicians rhetoric and call it out for what it actually is.
Singh is repeatedly recommending a central overall authority.
But that’s not how Canada is set up. Canada is a confederation of 13 separate authorities. Ten provinces and 3 territories.
If you read through every tweet, you’ll recognize many of the same tactics were used by Harper and CPC that Trump used to damage American democracy. His party was plagued with many of the same kind of scandals and corrupt politicians.
The similarities are uncanny and impossible to miss. A telltale sign that this strategy is planned, coordinated and organized.
If you look elsewhere across the globe, you’ll notice it’s the same story being repeated.
I’m watching the movement build in real time. Radio interviews, network video interviews. Widespread condemnation of Christian prosecution from pastors and Christian Networks. Definitely a martyr complex being built in.
Main theme is God’s commandments and laws supersede secular laws.
Applied outside of Public Health, this poses a significant law enforcement conundrum and legal nightmare.
Other pastors from across North America have been spreading the lie that pastor Coates is being prosecuted for preaching about god. He’s being prosecuted for flavouring the public health orders for public safety from covid for months.
This is no longer local. Evangelical Christians have elevated him to martyr status. And this is being propagated across Canada, US and Mexico at evangelical pulpits, on social media and network Christian news.
All because a pastor refused to follow the public health orders.
This feeds into Q’Anon and Christian Nationalist narratives.
