His guest predicts Alberta will look more like Brazil if we remain with inadequate restrictions.
We MUST pressure Shandro and Kenney to completely lockdown. Close schools, factories, all stores except grocery. Vaccinate essential workers.
Or we will be watching 2000 people die a day.
Kenney is afraid of the reaction of the Christian nationalists and white supremacists that elect him.
He needs to be afraid of the majority of Albertans who vastly outnumber Kenney’s voter base; by 2:1.
If you’ve ever wondered when you need to be an engaged citizen?
When your government makes decisions that put people’s lives at risk because of lobbyists & voters who don’t care how many people die. They only care about making profits.
Our lives are more important than business owners profits. There are methods to save businesses that don’t involve sacrificing lives to a deadly pandemic. This far UCP has refused to access those methods.
The guest’s name is Dr. Kashif Pirzada. He’s the first interview.
I recommend you listen to this doctor’s interview and hear it for yourself. Our lives are in danger.
This article is written in response to Pastor Coates and Grace Life elders decision to continue to ignore public health orders.
Please read to understand the mental gymnastics performed to rationalize ignoring the rule of law. People need to witness what we are up against.
The author is aware of criticism heaped on churches that refuse to abide by public health orders. Here it’s explained that putting your neighbour at risk is honouring God’s commandments. Not protecting their life by wearing a mask or staying home.
Christian Nationalist parishioners (not just Grace Life congregation) have been indoctrinated to believe their faith permits them to ignore the secular laws of governments because they follow God’s/Jesus’s laws.
This is regularly reinforced in church and on social media.
@mrenner_schultz Martha I really liked your thread about Artur Pawlowski, the pastor that labelled health inspector and accompanying police Nazis for attempting to enforce public health orders for safety.
But it’s difficult to read.
Any chance you could post it again as a connected thread? I like it so much I would like to amplify it. And maybe build upon the narrative you’ve created.
Not a demand, just a request if you have time. Let me know if you require assistance on how to string tweets together.
What you say in the thread is important. Rule of law is being undermined by these pastors and the government is complicit.
Kenney attempts to convince the public he supports the rule of law and rejects the use of hyperbole and demagogic rhetoric as weapons.
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.
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.
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.
