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.
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.
Squeak till the grease flows freely.

In case anyone believes a system wide healthcare collapse is impossible in the modern age.

India has the capacity to produce vaccines in enormous numbers.
Brought on by:

*Indifference to human suffering
*Coordinated global disinformation campaigns regarding covid
*Conservative political leadership & decision making
*Demagoguery and autocratic populist governance
*Abject refusal to extend aid to citizens because of ideology
Society wide collapse is occurring globally. This is not a coincidence. Coordinated disinformation campaigns that amplify covid is a hoax are being globally organized. It was never limited to North America.

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).

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.

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.

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.
