Readers will note Artur Pawlowski is the street pastor that came to Edmonton and demonstrated for removal of mask mandates and the immediate release of Pastor Coates.

Brandishing tiki torches.

While he shouts gestapo & Nazi at the police, his open church puts lives at risk.
And look who is supporting this nonsense.

Jack Posobiac. And Ezra Levant of course.
If this civil disobedience that puts lives at increasing risk isn’t stopped soon, we are going to have open insurrection to more than just facility capacity & mask mandates.

Christian Nationalists are a dangerous group of zealots.
Yet AHS & the province continue to allow them to make their own rules, select the laws they will follow and those they will flout. All the while endangering the lives of not only the church goers and believers in their insolence, but the rest of society as well.

I’ve explained this several times. But I’ll do it again.

A year ago, in April 2020, UCP enacted changes to the Public Emergency Act in Alberta.

When an emergency is declared, the government has complete power to amend, repeal or create any legislation.
Regardless if it has to do with covid or the emergency.

It is in the best interests of UCP to keep the province saturated with covid. That way, they don’t have to go through review of their policies and dissenting opinion. They don’t have to even inform us until it’s done.
How did coal policy get changed without consultation and debate?

Alberta had declared a state of emergency. They repealed the legislation when Alberta was in a state of emergency. Therefore bypassing the legislative and debate process.

I refuse to amplify this garbage.

But it should be noted that Conrad Black is propagating racist imperialist white washed rationale for Kenney’s proposed curriculum.

It never ceases to amaze me how many share Black’s worldview.
People who invest all their self worth in the belief that Europeans were more socially or economically advanced than North American indigenous peoples.

The idea is preposterous and egotistical self serving.
While the technology of Europe was more advanced, the social and economic norms certainly were NOT.

In Europe, most people were treated as chattel, serfs and indentured servants. With no agency of their own. Only one social class held wealth and power. All others subsisted.

I found this paper that provides a helpful framework to examine and analyze the proposed changes to the Alberta curriculum.

core.ac.uk/download/pdf/2…
I encourage people in education to read it. Parents and other supporters as well.

It describes the differences between the design of a curriculum meant to indoctrinate & control the population and one that encourages critical thinking.

Written by an Eastern European academic.
When the Soviet Union crumbled, the benefit to modern contemporary politics is the research and efforts to document the change from a society that enforced autocratic ideology to be adopted and a more democratic approach to public education of children.

I remember a number of women came forward accusing Frankin of copping a squeeze while taking pictures at a community fair.

That’s why he resigned.

Where are those women and their accusations now? They evaporated after Franklin resigned. Funny how that works.
Which is why it’s difficult to trust the Cuomo situation at face value.

Unfortunately, cons come in the female variety. I.E. not all women are honest and trustworthy.
Which is why knee jerk reactions and cancel culture are so dangerous and unhelpful.

Let’s go back a few hundred years, before women and children were considered persons in their own right.

In English Common Law, women and children were considered the property/assets of the head of the family.
Corporal punishment was restricted to a switch no larger than the size of your index finger. Women and children could be beat to within an inch of life, and it was entirely legal. Dogs and horses could be beaten as well.

Wealthy heads of households could abuse their servants.
Female Servants didn’t dare complain or they wouldn’t be paid their meagre below subsistence wages. Or maybe they’d be denied food for a few days. Forced to sleep with the animals. Beaten and raped instead of just raped.

Today I am sad. Very sad.

It’s the first time I have felt defeated and awash in grief for reconciliation.

I’m certain many other indigenous people feel similarly.

What was once a dream of equal personhood has been replaced with fear and woe for what’s to come.
I see people criticizing the new proposed curriculum. Strong, well thought out arguments why this curriculum is so troublesome and devastating for BIPOC, LGBTQ and Women in general.

But my tears and sorrow know this is where it will end.
I’ve watched for the last few years how so many good intentioned people accept the policies of governments that cause great harm and actually kill innocent vulnerable people (spiritually, emotionally and physically).
