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 They repealed the legislation when Alberta was in a state of emergency.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.

Alberta is a de facto (in all but name) dictatorship when in a state of emergency.

The question is not why UCP keeps allowing covid to ravage the province. The question is why the public continues to permit the government to assume the role of dictator using covid as rationale.

UCP continues to prove their intent and values are autocratic.

Utter denial that UCP is an autocratic party that imposes dictatorial decisions during the most stressful and chaotic periods (when covid wave is surging) does not change the fact this is what UCP is doing.

The problem is that people are refusing to acknowledge what’s happening.

Case in point: the newly proposed curriculum is receiving mass province wide criticism. However, Alberta is moving into a third wave of covid.

Once an emergency is declared, and it will be, UCP will approve the curriculum. No debate, no committee review, no public input or register of dissent.

Because UCP legislated themselves absolute power during a state of emergency.

This power dynamic gives UCP incentive to keep rolling waves of covid in perpetuity.

The premier and the party are playing with our lives and have no apparent concern whether citizens live or die.

The public remains mostly oblivious to this fact.

If this sounds objectionable and horrific, it’s because it is.

Corrupt autocrats frequently give themselves legal authority to dictate their commands so they can carry out heinous actions with impunity. It’s what dictators do.

Ford and MPP Mulroney attempted to bypass the accountability process by banning all civil litigation against the provincial government. This is an alternate approach to escape culpability for vile and criminal actions.

But the court caught them and quashed this legislation.

Ford just found out he cannot escape culpability for his inaction and dreadful decision making in regards to covid or any other policy.

Kenney and UCP have barely been challenged with the changes to the Public Emergency Act of Alberta.

John Carpay and JCCF are challenging the provincial govt’s authority to assume the powers of dictatorship when an emergency is declared.

A clear set up. Kenney mishandles covid, Carpay challenges the govt’s authority to restrict freedoms, no one bothers to check absolute power.

Kenney, UCP and like minded political parties are corrupt. They use subterfuge, infiltration, political drama and distraction, sabotage, multiple chaotic events to distract, literal crimes and many other methods to keep the public disoriented and discombobulated.

That’s what corrupt demagogues do. They make themselves a moving target so it’s more difficult to take aim. They employ assistance from others to make themselves appear honest & trustworthy.

Kenney has already publicly admitted zero covid is NOT his aim. He identified a mitigation strategy. That means he has decided that some deaths will be permitted to save the economy. And some businesses will be allowed to fail to preserve human lives.

This allows the virus to spread uncontrolled in the community. And is considered the preferable choice rather than zero-covid.

The more covid and the new variants spread, the greater the likelihood an emergency will be declared. And all those vehemently opposed policies of Dominionist Christian Nationals can be implemented with minimal resistance.

UCP are NOT a collection of incompetent oafs.

They are a highly organized and well funded Christian nationalist political party with a far right agenda & the ability to shut down dissent.

Does that sound incompetent? It shouldn’t. It’s the personification of corruption, entitlement, kleptocracy and plutocratic oligarchy.

So many accuse the UCP of being stupid and incompetent. The public is easily fooled and incapable of recognizing reality. Kenney and UCP are all too competent at installing a dictatorship and quelling dissent.

It’s us that are incompetent at recognizing & removing threat.

If we want to preserve Albertan democracy, we need to, at minimum, acknowledge the actual problem.
