Interesting independent journalism article.

ALEC has formed a resistance group to climate change.

Weirder still, their position sounds awfully familiar to Canadian conservative’s strategy. @Tentoads4truth

Could UCP, Sask Party or Ontario PC’s be giving ALEC advice?
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.

You can see anti protest legislation is common to several jurisdictions in the last few years. (Read: since Trumpism)

Look what else is common in ALEC controlled states: refusing federal assistance bailout funds.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. 🤔

Alberta & Ontario both refused to access available covid funds provided by the federal government. At citizens’ expense.

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.

tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
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.

That’s the spirit.

Waiting for a saviour is called saviour syndrome.

Taking matters into your own hands with a bunch of like minded citizens is called a movement.

Be the change you want to see. ~ Gandhi.
This is the actual meaning of “pull up your bootstraps.”

This is not an impossible task. But it is labour intensive and frustrating.

Get the PCs to understand that the majority of citizens want effective public health measures. And help from those who have offered it. ImageImageImage
Cause that’s the only action that is going to end the covid cycle. Zero covid strategy demanded by the public most affected or squeakiest wheel. Image

Since Christian Nationalists in the US seem to be leading this movement, here is what to expect from Canadian xenophobic Christian Nationals.

This isn’t a joke or hyperbole. This is what they want. To make Manifest Destiny real.

You can see why treaties would be a nuisance.
How many Canadians know their North American history? I bet few. The dominant culture and those who benefitted and still do are reluctant to reveal the devastation created by expansion of the US and Canada (British Empire).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_…
So many believe Kenney wants to go back to the 1950’s.

I keep repeating it’s not the 1950’s. That was the Golden Age of American Capitalism.

Kenney is looking to implement a return to 1850. Before human rights. Before treaties. When whomever legally claimed land owned it.

The response to this desperate request for federal coordination and extreme targeted measures to save maximum number of lives is disturbing to say the least!
There has been a coordinated strategy to divide the nation & destroy the unity of a national identity. I’m devastated that it seems to have succeeded.

Conservative politicians have relentlessly incited animus while exuding arrogance & haughty derision on progressive Canadians.
We have a visceral and palpable physical reaction to politicians like Ford, Kenney, Moe, Pallister, Legault. Horgan is also in this group, and receives less bile, but that’s a disturbing phenomenon on its own. He doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Mr. Tapper and CNN have been corrected by thousands of Canadians.

Yet he and his network persist in amplifying this disinformation.

Why?
Why has CNN been connected, through Jake Tapper, to promotion of conspiracy theories favouring the far right?

This is not Tapper’s first kick at the cat. He personally gave legitimacy to Trump and denigrated Clinton in 2016 US presidential election.
His devotion to truth is questionable. He’s a click bait king misleading a nation.

Americans know this. Canadians need to be aware of it as well.

I wonder if Canadians understand why First Nations with band and legal FN status are excused from the tax burden for the maintenance of the provinces and nation if they earn their wages on reserve?
There are many who believe this to be an unfair advantage for FN indigenous people.

But that’s because they don’t understand treaties, land title, property rights and citizenship in Canada.

Unless you understand those topics intimately, you’re making a judgment in ignorance.
Treaties were signed with most First Nations. Treaties allow the Crown to assume the title to all the lands in Canada, except the reserves on which various FN were assigned and restricted to live.

Over time, these reserve lands began to be known as independent nations.

It’s disheartening that political pundits continue to ignore the political splintering of conservatives has ALWAYS been the radical evangelical religious right asserting dominance. Every fricking time!

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
By continuously ignoring the power wielded by religious extremism in Alberta, the public remains in a fog, unable to discern what is happening in provincial and federal politics.

This attempt to normalize jockeying for control of the agenda is discouraging.
Is it lack of familiarity about the Christian right? Or is it the attempt to keep religion and politics separate?

But the effort to normalize what has been happening in Alberta since 1935 is intentional. And that makes me angry and resentful.
