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.
What is reflexive control? Are conservatives using Soviet developed information warfare and active measures to manipulate public opinion? Are Canadian conservatives using a fascist inspired blueprint to dismantle democracy?
Have conservatives historically promoted and protected O&G industry at Albertans expense? Or was that Social Credit and now their modern political equivalents (Wildrose & Wexit libertarians)?
How have Dominionist Christian beliefs and values shaped geopolitics over the last century? Why do global leaders hesitate to intervene in Judea-Christian inspired genocides as they’ve occurred across the globe?
What is Dominionist Christianity? What is New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? What is Seven Mountains Mission (Strategy)? How many UCP MPs are Dominionist? (It’s about 50).
How has the organized Dominionist Christian political movement impacted Canadian politics? What organizations are influencing Canadian politics and shaping Canadian policy? Are they foreign or domestic?
What form of conservatism do UCP represent? How does Peter Lougheed and Jason Kenney make sense both espousing conservatism? Is radical right libertarianism a form of conservatism?
How large is the Dominionist political movement? Is this just a few fringe extremists or a substantial portion of the Canadian population? Who are the domestic and foreign partners?
Who are the architects of the Dominionist political movement in Canada? How are Canadian politics connected to the global surge in autocracy? How long has this been happening in Canada?
What risk does the Dominionist agenda pose to Canadians? To Albertans? What are some of the immediate objectives of UCP? What are longer term objectives?
Why no one is willing to name the central issue is confusing.
While most people who claim liberalist, humanist and egalitarian beliefs, this inconsistency has been glossed over for centuries.
Egalitarianism can NOT be true, if one culture is above all others.
Complicating this even more is the Dominionist Christian belief that Jews were god’s favoured people before Jesus, but evangelical Christians have replaced Jews as god’s favoured people.
Many like to believe there was a point in time that religion and politics were separate.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
