I have an aversion to opinion writers who harp on the LPC inability to get climate legislation in place.

While I don’t advocate violence, I’m figuratively smacking a few of these people upside the head because they refuse to recognize their own actions and the impacts.
This is a smack upside the heads of people who work hard at delivering our mutual destruction but think they’re actually saving the planet.

Ambitious political leaders opportunistically dragging those who don’t understand how royal assent of legislation works down the garden path to support PR and minority governments.
My disdain and contempt for these leaders is palpable. I consider them worse than cons.

Betrayal always comes from allies. Not your opposition.

We’re supposed to be jointly aiming for climate action, not power acquisition and redistribution.
Examine closely the motives of the leaders you follow.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

I’m fuming. The utter condescension and contempt for education professionals by UCP is repugnant.

However, I am not surprised in the least that a conservative lackey was brought in to “endorse” the curriculum under so much public pressure to scrap it and start again.
UCP is busy boasting about the glowing endorsement by a BC teacher who wishes ever so longingly that he could use the proposed curriculum instead of the inquiry based curriculum BC has adopted. Mr. Formosa is a teacher. He even has a Masters in Education. Impressive.
But, and there is a but, Formosa is also a conservative activist. He’s a young impressionable millennial with firm ideological beliefs about right and wrong, good and bad, evidence and faith, and politics.

He’s an Anti Choice advocate that led his Campus “Pro-life” organization.

We’ve reached a precipice in Alberta.

In the next month, the Alberta UCP plans on removing all covid restrictions.

This WILL result in a fourth wave and exponentially more deaths and long covid.

Do we plunge into plague or work together to prevent this inexplicable policy?
I’m assembling evidence to help make that decision and pinning it on my Twitter feed.

Attached are a selection of newer and older threads that document the UCP agenda, beliefs and values.
My hope is that anyone interested in knowing more about UCP and the paleolibertarian/anarcho-capitalist/Dominionist agenda they are currently installing will take the time to read.

What the public does with it is beyond my control. But this is my contribution to the decision.

This is why Q’Anon is such a national security threat. For the US, Canada and several EU nations.

These beliefs are bizarre and not based in reality.

But 15% of Americans believe this is fact.

They believe violence is warranted to take back control of the presidency.
If the Q’Anon propaganda has created about 50 million deluded Americans, then we can expect an equal amount here in Canada.

That’s about 5.6 million radically deluded Canadians.

And that’s why Q’Anon is no joke.

Imagine if even 1-2% of that population act on their anger.
That’s 56K to 112K people.

Are the armed forces willing and able to counter any domestic terrorist violence of this magnitude?

PMJT said he was preparing the armed forces to deal with any circumstance.

@ipoliticsca Why is it that climate advocates don’t realize that a minority government is a weakened position to implement these measures?

Do these opinion writers not understand how legislation is made in Canada? Do they not understand the limits our constitution?
@ipoliticsca I don’t believe they do. Or if they do, they’re actively confusing those who don’t for political gain.

Provinces hold purview over natural resources in Canada.

The Supreme Court basically just ruled that the federal government has jurisdiction to reduce carbon outputs.
@ipoliticsca Until that SCOC decision, several premiers blocked any meaningful legislation because of ideological values contrary to climate change reality.

But the door is now open for feds to implement some of those policies and measures to stave off climate catastrophe.

Please watch this 12 minute video by Glenn Kirschner.

The US is moving towards justice.

Though many are misreading current events.
Merrick Garland is not covering up Bill Barr’s behaviour as attorney general. It’s far more likely that the evidence will be used during investigation of Barr’s dealings while USAG.
It’s also considerably more likely that Garland is fighting the judges orders to preserve the Department of Justice’s ability to use their own discretion about revealing sensitive information.

Modern comparisons to the atrocities committed in Nazi Germany are generally grossly exaggerated and serve to denigrate the actual horrors so many experienced during the Holocaust.

But occasionally, horrors that are comparable emerge.

This is one.
Abortion is a difficult topic to discuss and examine. But there are medical experiments and practices currently being performed that require the public’s attention.

These procedures are at the level of human medical experimentation that was witnessed in Nazi Germany.
The ability to rationalize human medical experimentation by far right Evangelical Christian extremists is comparable to Nazi Germany’s Dr. Josef Mengele.

This is a provocative statement and I don’t write it without careful consideration.
