Perhaps it needs to be clearly expressed.

UCP isn’t just accusing parents with concerns about the proposed curriculum of being socialist dupes.
Their statement clearly expresses devaluation and disregard of those who hold beliefs and values different from their own and the minority who support them. It’s overt disrespect and dehumanization.
Not only is the UCP statement communicating that only the opinions of far right libertarians and conservatives will be heard, they are clearly revealing their disdain for all others.
Dehumanization of your political opponents is a strategy used by autocratic & despotic regimes to justify their policies and actions.

It’s also a required component for genocide. Not that UCP is planning a violent genocide, but they are using strategy that would enable it.
This statement from the UCP caucus confirms that only the opinions of Christian Nationalists, white supremacists, far right libertarians and those who support the legitimacy of UCP ideology and dogma will be heard and incorporated.
UCP is telling Albertans there are two classes of human beings. Us and them.

If you’re a member of “them,” you’re being informed your opinion is irrelevant and will not be used to judge the new curriculum.
How does it feel to be devalued and stripped of your political agency because you hold a different worldview than those in power?

I believe terrified and deeply concerned on where this is going is the appropriate response.
Stop minimizing what’s happening because it’s terrifying.

Stop denying that UCP is an autocratic corrupt and criminal political movement.

Stop believing UCP is democratic in any shape or form. Conservatives abandoned democracy. A long time ago.
Start considering a general strike to stop this criminal cabal from indoctrinating our children with pro American Christian libertarian beliefs and values.

It’s curious to me that some people work so hard to convince themselves that all is well in Canadian federal and provincial politics.

There is a point that scepticism becomes delusion. We crossed that point a long time ago. No reasonable person can conclude politics is normal.
Gone are the norms for decorum and political process. Swept away by constant bloviating, obstructionism, open disrespect, disinformation and personal smears.

While politics has always been fraught with conflict, generally reality wasn’t debated or created through discourse.
Democracy is a tricky concept to define. A few believe it’s limited to free and fair voting. Voting makes up a tangible part of democracy, but overall, democracy is a belief system. So it’s abstract in nature and difficult to fit into a narrow universal definition.

Listen to Dr. Vipond on @ryanjespersen Real Talk for a more in depth discussion on what the government is doing wrong.

The decisions of UCP are inexplicable when you hear what he had to say.

But the explanation is simple.
Lives are considered secondary to the economy.

That is the simplest explanation.
The question required to ask is “what are we as citizens going to do in response?”

Our options are limited, so the decision is made easier.

1. We accept and obey.

2. We inundate UCP with public pressure.

Yet La Grange is still refusing requests for schools to move online.

Kenney refuses to impose stricter covid measures.

Children are being sacrificed for the economy.

Anarchy is not far behind when children’s lives are rendered irrelevant compared to economic outcomes.
Rest In Peace Emily.

Canada requires an extreme lockdown to halt covid transmission.

And even that will only slow the transmission.

Yet some still protest to remove the inadequate restrictions in place.
Years from now people will wonder how the ignorant were permitted to protest. How did some deluded citizens come to demand the right to risk death and disease for everyone?

Liberty.

That’s the answer. “Give me liberty or give me death.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_l…!

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Naomi Wolf has lost her fucking mind!

Stockwell Day I can understand. Complicit Christian Nationalist physicians I am aware of.

But Naomi Wolf spreading conspiracy theory BS and being amplified by an MD.

WTF?!?
While her screed comes with a warning, Naomi Wolf has an enormous following and several impressionable and gullible young women look up to her as a feminist and climate change advocate.

Did she stop taking medication or start taking shrooms?

It’s embarrassing.
Not for me, for her and all her followers.

She also recently did an interview with Steve Bannon indicating her fondness for Steve and that he was a good guy.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Absurd. Without a doubt, she’s been drinking koolaid. Way to much koolaid.

Alberta, we have a serious problem in Edmonton and in the @edmontonpolice.

Watch this video please.

I’m afraid for BIPOC. Please do not let this escape your attention. This is a teenager in Edmonton, attacked by a mob of other white teens, intent on doing harm.


A video from Diversity TV.

Did this incident get any other news coverage?

@cbcjanjohnston @CBCEdmonton @CityNewsYEG @ctvedmonton @TheBreakdownAB @ryanjespersen
The public must support this family and the black community.

We must also confront the issue with police in Edmonton.

The officer and detachment administration must be held accountable for this brutality being ignored. The attempt to dismiss it as an “altercation” condemned.

Rebel Media. Ever willing to launder money to fund hate.

These is the same bunch of numpties trying to sell themselves as Christians by defending Grace Life Church in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
So let’s see...

So far the Rebel has interfered in France federal election, sympathetically covered Charlottesville Neo-Nazis, trained with Russian saboteurs, promoted Jan6 insurrection, and now laundered American money to fund UK based Tommy Robinson.
Hmm. Also connected to Proud Boys and Jack Posobiec. Currently helping run Christian Nationalist disinformation campaign.

Can anyone say far right mercenary saboteur and dark money agents for hire for foreign adversaries?
