“I actually left a message at the premier’s office. I got our MLA [@DevinDVote] and they just said Alberta Health Services had to deal with it and amazingly enough it went ahead. I just don’t understand,”
“AHS says it is exploring its legal options after hundreds attended a #rodeo near Bowden, about 30km south of #RedDeer, to protest #COVID19 restrictions. It took place on private land after the town's agricultural society revoked its permit.” #ableg
“Alberta Health Services sent a letter to organizers indicating the event would be illegal, and in a statement, expressed disappointment with the decision to proceed.”
“The event [was] set to become as much a political rally as a sporting event, listing guest speakers well known for their opposition to #COVID19 health restrictions, including Innisfail activist & mayoral candidate Glen Carritt.”
#GlenCarritt made a name for himself when he organized the “United We Roll” Yellow Vester convoy, which became famous for the racism and white nationalism.
Important reminder to everyone that @bostonpizza is a member of the Conservative anti-labour lobby group, Restaurants Canada, which opposes living wages for workers and supports the #UCP and their anti-2SLGBTQ+ social policies.
If you want to find a list of vilains in the province—and their sponsors—just pay attention to the companies who advertise on the boards.
Many will have ties to Conservatives.

Somehow ATCO has become a behemoth in overcharging you to get heat.
Pathways Alliance: “This group includes Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy, and Suncor Energy. Together, they control a whopping 95% of Canada’s oil sands production.”
This is the future that people like Murray Edwards, The Irvings, Exon, and other oil companies made for us. This is the future that Conservatives and other neoliberals enabled through capitalism. Only the future is now.
Look at the sea temperatures. This is pretty much what environmentalists have been warning about since I was a kid. I grew up watching @DavidSuzuki)
This is it.
Canada is experiencing it’s worst wildfire season. There are tremendous issues with unaffordable housing and homelessness. Drug poisoning is now the leading cause of death in BC.
And this is what Conservatives do with their time in Parliament.
Few Canadians have caused more harm to the world than Murray Edwards. The Irving dynasty is one of them. For generations they have ruled New Brunswick with an iron fist. Irving considering exiting the oil business is a big deal.
Recently the Irvings sold the English Language that they used to dominate the media in New Brunswick to Postmedia. Jamie Irving was appointed to the head of the Canada-wide propaganda company.
