Our own AB public health team hasn’t been able to release predictions. Or maybe they decided why bother? If they plan to withdraw test, trace & isolate, why warn people? It just panics the public.
Albertans don’t need to wait for our provincial political system to collapse. It already has. The UCP & AHS administration have abandoned their jobs.
When other provinces healthcare information infrastructure is keeping AB informed, we are well beyond a proverbial dead canary.
We were warned years ago that when climate change began to make huge climate changes, global social unrest would descend many if not all nations into chaos. Wars, increased political extremism, battles for dominance. Attempts to control the economy. Wrangling for power.
That prediction was accurate. Apt.
The globe is currently in a battle (if not WW3 hybrid war) for control of assets, resources, power, wealth, influence, and for the right to determine world order.
Unpleasant news: for those wondering when this will end?
It won’t. There is no end in sight.
Not until the decision on how climate change, increased viral pandemics, rising sea levels, economic depression, what the source of energy will be and who is in power (world order) is resolved. That may not be in my lifetime.
But it’s not just oil sands the Chinese CCP and investors want.
They want it all.
Natural gas, coal, minerals, farm land, fresh water, deep water ports across the Canadian North.
Canada is sparsely populated and bursting at the seams with natural resources.
• Coastal Gaslink pipeline. Bulldozing through Wetʼsuwetʼen territory facilitated ship and rail blockades in February 2020. Partners with state owned Korea, China & Malaysia investors at LNG plant. Possible sale of shares to FN CGL project signatories. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-and-so…
• AB Coal policy altered to accommodate Australian lease holders for metallurgical coal intended for the Asian market. UCP approved the building of a highway to facilitate transportation to rail lines.
Instantly there was a comment from what seems to be American (North Dakota) Indigenous Twitter. (NDN is a common acronym for “Indian” in Canadian and American Indigenous Twitter)
“ndndn” is an active spreader of disinformation promoting natural immunity. An anti vax narrative.
One might get the impression that this account is left wing by reviewing the accounts it follows; prominent centrist and progressive academics.
But then you see FEE and a number of retweets of FEE information.
The ability to surveil human beings, without their knowledge & permission, then use that data to shape their behaviour or reveal their activities is dangerous.
Every person online is targeted. What was once private personal experience now surpasses oil in value.
Smart phones have become tracking devices and cameras and microphones are accessible to surveillance. There are no laws adequately restraining this behaviour and capacity.
