Protecting a couple million + people’s water supply should come before approval of open pit coal mines one would be remiss to think.

In Alberta.
This is who UCP is. This is the conservative agenda.

This is what UCP voters in Southern Alberta chose.

It was okay when it was indigenous people up north. Not so good in Alberta’s most populated region, huh?

UCP voters are beginning to recognize this is the UCP standard business model. Regardless of your voting behaviour, if you aren’t corporate industry, your standard of living is inconsequential to business decisions.

It’s just business.
It’s no fun finding out you’ve been used to permit hustlers gain power.

It’s worse finding out hustlers sold you out for metallurgic coal that brings no actual benefit to Alberta, but will completely destroy your water supply and land use. With no compensation.
While cronies rake in billions in profits to permit Asian steel to be made from the fuel derived from blowing the tops off Alberta mountains.

Perhaps knowing one of those beneficiaries is from Alberta will ease the pain felt as the blade of the knife in your back hits bone.
We tried to warn you.

No salt for your deep wounds. Just maybe hear both sides next time.

Maybe recognize your economic comfort SHOULD NOT be the only consideration when voting. Policy impacts people’s real lives. Your life shouldn’t be the only life you consider relevant.

Considering the length of time this long game plan has been in play (minimum 40 years), & the past behaviour of intelligence community (CIA attack on socialism & Director Hoover’s FBI investigating American dissidents ), it would be beyond foolish to think IC is 100% trustworthy.
It would be naive and on the verge of ignorance to think a serious purge of far right complicit loyalists is not required in IC, military and most law enforcement organizations.

It most definitely is required. The sooner the better.
It is highly likely that a long standing Fifth Column exists within career intelligence and military personnel. An enormous danger and national security threat.

Trump was in power for four years, but Bush jr, and Reagan both pandered to far right extremists going back to 1980.

The privilege to appoint senators is the exclusive right of the Governor General. The privilege to recommend names for consideration is the exclusive right of the sitting PM.

Always has been. Nothing has changed.
Whether you support a bicameral system or a unicameral one is irrelevant. Your opinion matters not in the immediate situation.

However, it should be noted that unicameral systems are notoriously more autocratic than bicameral systems.
For evidence of this phenomenon, one need only look at Canada’s provincial legislatures, which are unicameral (a legislature with no senate) and review the quality of legislation made by majority held governments over the past decade, regardless of party.

As I have stated before, sneaking through the back door is the UCP way.

A FN band leadership supports coal mining. The people were never consulted. Elders and community members are now being blocked from having a rally. A deafening silencing of dissent.

It’s how corrupt deceptive people work. They pit communities against one another.

Rather than fighting the resource corporation from Australia or the government who approved the plans, people fight each other. Allowing uninterrupted access and destruction. It’s an old trick.
The tactic is known as divide and conquer. It’s been used in history by corporations many many times.

But the public still falls for it, hook line and sinker, every time.

Those in desperate economic strife are easy targets.

I don’t care if Kenney gives away $3M. Young men are stupid about health. In fact older men are too.

Many men don’t take health concerns seriously. They believe they can tough it out. And while there are female anti maskers, the majority are young foolish macho men.
I’d prefer they have some protection and not die than lose a generation of young men because they’re too stubborn to get a vaccine shot.

$3M is a pittance compared to $1.3B. That is a crime. We get nothing for that waste.

But we get men between 15-35 who survive for $3M.
There are lots of issues to complain about Kenney and UCP. Getting young men vaccinated isn’t one of them.

If he have $1M a day I’d be fine with it. Whatever gets the most people vaccinated.

That’s the problem. The solution is dangling a carrot. It is far better than a stick.

Mass grave has a clear definition.

It means one pit, several bodies.

It does not mean several unmarked graves.

What happened to First Nations children at residential schools is horrific. No school should have a graveyard. Ever.

But it is sensationalism to use mass grave. ImageImage
We don’t need to embellish or exaggerate the mass number of graves found at Residential schools. The abuse suffered and the fact there are any children buried on site is a testament to the inhuman conditions these children endured and suffered.
I am certain there are mass graves of indigenous people.

But for the Catholic administrators to bury children in unmarked graves is tantamount to commissioning their souls to hell and for their existence to be forgotten.

This is terrifying considering Kenney is planning on Stampede come hell or high water.

I’m hoping for high water. Because this black fungus is a version of hell.
Good luck people who haven’t got their vaccinations. Delta is more deadly, and even if you recover, you could develop an aggressive diabetes or a black fungus could eat your brain, sinuses or eyes.

Delta is also truly airborne and very little is required to become infected.
N95 masks are recommended.

My god, covid just keeps getting worse and worse.

And there is no a confirmed Vietnamese variant as bad, if not worse than Delta India variant.
