However their strategy was developed, it is certainly supported by Canadian conservative premiers.
Was this the retaliation Kenney referred to when Biden cancelled KXL?
Me thinks this could be it.
What is it called when an entire industry attempts to write laws favourable to their profit making and eliminating federal government power to regulate them?
A corporatist coup?
A cartel coup?
A plutocrat coup?
Whatever the descriptor, this is an organized coup.
And what is it called when regional politicians conspire to undermine federal authority?
A soft coup.
Which is precisely what Canadian conservative premiers (Kenney, Ford, Legault, Pallister & Moe), and NDP premier Horgan, have done since 2019.
Relying heavily on the racist and obstructionist precedent of American slave states, the coalition of Canadian provincial premiers have attempted to “nullify” or “interpose” federal authority in several areas of policy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullifica…
Seems our premiers have been following an American developed strategy to block federal authority.
Carbon levies were challenged in court by three provincial leaders. Kenney, Ford and Moe.
The Supreme Court of Canada rejected their premise and affirmed federal authority.
Refusal to assist in enforcement. Is that the explanation for Grace Life church and the many other extremists, restaurant owners and businesses, along with anti lockdown protesters, who seem to have a free pass to flout public health orders? Who can say? It’s possible.
And what about unconstitutional provincial laws that have been enacted by recalcitrant premiers, claiming their turf isn’t subject to federal authority?
Quebec ~ Bill 21. Alberta ~ Bill 1.
Putting those provinces at odds with federally guaranteed constitutional human rights.
Yep, Canada’s provincial premiers have conspired to limit federal authority. Then have the audacity to blame PMJT and the Liberal government for the covid chaos which they themselves have caused.
Fraser Institute connects cons to ALEC bill mill through the State Policy Network.
Fraser Institute receives funding from Kochs and other dark money donors. They attend the SPN network meetings and pass on the legislative expectations and strategies developed by ALEC to Canadian conservative politicians.
Here are examples in other jurisdictions. Thanks @Norlaine.
Weird how protest dates are so aligned with the “Save Our Country Coalition” run by ALEC bill mill.
There’s even a handy guide on how to plan a protest.
One would think that by spreading them out they didn’t appear so coordinated and centrally planned.
The protest guide is specific. Make it look like it’s organic grassroots. Make your own signs. Include religious leaders and nurses. (There’s where the partnership between white supremacists comes from. ALEC arranged it for larger more impactful protests).
ALEC even conveniently gives conservatives their talking points. A trained monkey can deliver predetermined talking points.
Must be why we have trained monkeys 🐒 running conservative political parties. People who use critical thinking can develop their own talking points.
Is there anything Canadian conservatives are doing and offering that actually originates in Canada?
I couldn’t tell you. But I can say I haven’t really found an original thought.
Low and behold, the Liberty Coalition of Canada emerges as a new lobby group. It looks and acts a lot like the American Save Our Country, now defunct.
Far right conservatives and evangelical Christians are attacking our democracy with an organized disinformation campaign.
All of this is being conducted in Canada with assistance of JCCF as a coordinating institution.
Connected to lifesite news, bitchute, rumble, & odysee alt right network sites. Under the radar.
Delusional beliefs about compromised freedoms and rights.
Lifesite is a toxic ultra far right Christian site. Linked to Campaign Life Coalition. CLC is closely connected to the World Congress of Families. An ultra far right Christian coalition of Russian & American radicalized evangelical extremists.
Canadian Christian conservatives are influenced by and intimately connected to this far right political movement to eliminate social democracy using Christian beliefs and values and to install theocracy/theonomy in “Christian” nations.
Canada isn’t the only target. It’s global.
This group of ultra far right extremists are the organ grinders, the puppet masters, the architects of this toxic, hate fuelled, disinformation campaign and political movement.
They seek to install a theocracy or worse, theonomy.
People like Kenney, Ford, Singh, Horgan and even Trump are their loyal capuchin monkey’s performing distractions while the architects dismantle institutions and replace the critical thinkers with obedient homogenous non thinking human wage slaves for citizens.
That is what humanists and progressives are up against. An organized, extremely well funded international criminal cabal seeking to either end the human species or control who makes it to the other side of climate change, and now the deadlier covid variant pandemic.
People need to wake up. Or we are all done.
Variants as deadly as P1 and B117 are creating catastrophic death. We MUST lockdown and aggressively vaccinate. Remove the monkey politicians from governance. Their plan is to keep cycling covid until rebellion or mass death occurs.
No right exists to access crown land. And private land which abuts common/crown land must be protected from forest fires.
The forest is literally a tinderbox and every precaution must be taken. Individual rights don’t exist when the possibility of massive destruction is a risk.
The narratives being offered by libertarians, chaos agents, saboteurs, democratic subversion agents and “free-men-on-the-land” are designed to create doubt about the legality of the mandates and fines.
None of the rest of us are prepared to sacrifice the province.
Many Canadian’s lives and livelihoods are on the line. Trump has imposed additional tariffs to the 2.5% Canadian exporters would generally pay to avoid the costs of being CUSMA compliant. That’s no longer an option.
Changes in the environment require adaptation to preserve viability.
Canada is not forcing vendors and exporters to adopt one position over another. But the federal government has chosen to pivot and seek alternative markets rather than cow-tow to a maniacal wannabe dictator.
Exporters have options. Keep trading with US and become CUSMA compliant or find a new market.
Personally I believe doing both would be an easier transition for any vendor who is heavily reliant on US trade markets.
So I came across a post from this Postmedia journalist and had to use it in a lesson about propaganda.
It’s so blatant, and will make comprehension of complex issues easier for those who find policy discussions boring or difficult to follow.
My new project is tying current issues to policy content so everyone can understand what behaviours, values and opportunities policies are attempting to change, influence or create.
Deconstructing this propaganda is helpful to learn how policy works.
FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.
In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes and right now it’s rhyming.
Past fascists didn’t have modern technology, but they did have memes and political cartoons.
However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language.
PMMC probably believes it is difficult to misinterpret. But there is a major discrediting campaign being conducted against him. And I don’t believe he has much experience with this level of disinformation.
So he requires an experienced professional counter propagandist’s help.
As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.
This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now!
I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.
In Canada, it’s FN and the Inuit who have suffered the most oppression. Their way of life was targeted for elimination. But so too were the Métis. Just in different ways.
Inuit & FN were oppressed thru apartheid type communities that treated people like second class citizens.
