Read these ones carefully.
Is Ethnocentrism Evil?
“But a strange thought occurred to me, what if one person’s culture *is* better?”
I had a colonial education, too. It’s an awfully short list though.
And sure, follow that up with an excerpt from the Fraser Institute’s crap tax study.
Guess how I’ll be spending a good portion of Easter break?

There’s a candidate forum in Brooks tonight. I’m collecting some wall swag. And I might tweet some stuff. Like the olden days… Image
Moderator is reminding everyone to be respectful to candidates and neighbours. Almost ready to begin. Image
Smith is first. Lots of applause.

In less than two weeks Albertans will choose a new govt. Elections have consequences. After four years of UCP rule, investment is back, the economy is strong. Four years in opposition and the NDP hasn’t learned anything.

I know lots of people think Lich is being prosecuted for her politics. Some have even said enforcement is subjecting her to “treatment that is far outside the norm of how our courts and police behave.”

It’s not, they just didn’t care about how activists were treated before.
Conservatives didn’t care about Amy’s story because Amy is an animal rights activist who was charged with attempted break and enter and attempted mischief.
Her bail conditions included a no contact order.

Conservatives didn’t care about George’s story because George is a Land Defender. Although others were present at the protest where George was arrested, he was the only one charged. Political persecution?

He thanked everyone for being in touch with their communities every single day - and he would know what it's like not to be, for sure.

Watching the Covid update on Facebook because the notification came up first. The batshit signal must've shone brightly today, holy hell.
"You said no vax passes - what's next concentration camps?"
"I'm not vaxxed and never will be. You better not step on my land because you won't be exiting it."
"I can't wait to see you hang!"
"Agenda 21/30 is being enacted more every day."
"Your [sic] going to jail."
"That child did not die of Covid - that baby was tested and denied proper care."
"Leave the kids alone! They have zero risks from covid!"
"All about money... GREESY [sic]"
"No info from Pfizer til 2070 on this experiment. Why is that?"
"Clinics are not reporting adverse effects"

So, about Derek Sloan’s news.

I saw the case numbers and decided to stay home BUT! @WSOnlineNews is live streaming on FB.

Let me just say the room is buzzing and now piano music fills the space. Can’t drown out the din though. #ableg #cdnpoli
They announced that they’ll be staring in about 5 minutes OMG it is definitely packed.
People are still arriving, they said, and there's still some seats left. "Get to know your neighbour" they said.

“Alberta continues to take extraordinary measures to control the spread of the virus,” says UofA President Bill Flanagan.

I actually can’t tell if that was a troll - it was delivered expertly.

Money for universities is good news though. Especially for science. #ableg
This update is on $20M for the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, applied virology institute.

It’s rather uplifting to hear the gains they’ve been making in research and development in HepC vaccines. I lost a cousin to that a year ago yesterday🥲
Dr. Houghton says they’re working to make Alberta, and the UofA a “globally competitive site for biotechnology” and says that is possible through support from the government.

That had to be a troll 😏
