I think the horror of what is being done is beginning to sink in.

Covid has been weaponized by right wing politicians. A bio weapon meant to hurt, harm, kill and disable.

That’s an act of war.

It’s not a mistake or accident.

These con govts are choosing intentional harm.

Asking why we have a snap election when conservative governments are intentionally exacerbating covid and willingly harming the populations they are sworn to protect, is denial that this carnage is intentional.

There is no way to rationalize these decisions.

Hinshaw, and certainly Kenney & UCP will use denial to escape culpability. They’ll call it a mistake, and accident. A miscalculation.

That’s a lie and an example of UCP gaslighting.

Global condemnation for this decision came immediately after it was announced.

Domestic and foreign physicians, epidemiologists and Healthcare professionals shouted extreme warnings and begged not to implement this plan in Alberta.

Those were all ignored.

Citing Great Barrington research and policy, Hinshaw and Kenney forged ahead with reopening Alberta with little to no mitigation strategies and limited capacity for the public to protect themselves. Libertarian freedom advocates bellowed their support.

I’m a realist. I call a spade a spade. Not an earth mover. A trench enabler. A spade is a spade. I don’t mince words and I use accurate labels instead of euphemisms to communicate. I’m blunt, straight forward and do not protect people from fear or horror.

I don’t use sensationalization to create vitriol and fear monger. Though I’ve been accused of this several times. Reality is bad enough.

I’m accused by those who minimize dangers and risks, facts and truth.

I prefer to live in reality. It is seldom pretty over the last decade.

But it means I am ALWAYS prepared for what is coming down the pipe. I am an admitted control freak. I don’t try to control what happens, just be prepared to deal with it.

So I saw this reality way sooner than most. I do not lie to myself, or others.

That behaviour is what keeps me sane.

UCP is a fascist party installing authoritarian rule in Alberta. UCP is populated by 50 radicalized religious extremists & this outcome was entirely predictable and I know that because I predicted it in 2018, 2019 (pre and post election).

I predicted it when Kenney refused to close schools in March 2020; gave himself and cabinet members absolute power over policy during emergencies in April 2020; rushed to reopen way too soon in May 2020; refused to make schools safer for children in August 2020.

I warned people when Kenney ignored rising numbers in October 2020; delayed mitigation in November 2020; permitted cabinet members to travel at Christmas 2020; offered extremist evangelical Christian narratives at New Year January 2021.

I begged people to take precautions when January 6 occurred. Several connected to Kenny and UCP openly supported Trump in the lead up to the Capitol riot; I warned people that cons would distance themselves from traitorous & fascist Republicans, but cons & GOP are intertwined.

I wrote a number of threads warning the public about evangelical Christian nationalists collaborating to build a seditious narrative about covid, liberty and freedom and using evangelical churches in Canada & the US to create outrage in Feb- April 2021.

I specifically outlined how Kenney attempted to permit covid run rampant in Treaty 8 territory by refusing to impose any mitigation strategies in Ft. Mac & surrounding region of Wood Buffalo Municipal District in Apr/21; mayor of Fort Mac & 11 FN/Métis leaders alerted the public.

This has always been the goal of UCP and Canadian conservatives. The only thing that prevented the third wave from getting out of hand like covid is now was Delta was not the dominant variant, and the Liberal federal government intervened immediately to FN calls for assistance.

It was no secret that Kenney was being severely pressured by radical extremist Dominionist Christian Nationalists to lift ALL covid measures and pretend covid was over. I wrote many threads explaining the motives and evidence I had found on Christian Twitter and Rumble May/21.

June 2021 I documented Kenney’s complete capitulation to Dominionist Christians and oligarchs demanding covid be ignored. July 1/21 covid mandatory masks and self distancing was removed under false pretences. Kenney & Hinshaw used natural immunity to calculate protection levels.

When mitigation efforts were removed, less than 55% of Albertans had a first dose. The public was offered up as a biomedical experiment. The goal was natural herd immunity. I warned about that all summer 2021.

When Kenney and Hinshaw announced they were removing ALL covid restrictions and monitoring, I warned what was happening. So did concerned & terrified healthcare professionals, in Alberta, Canada and globally who have used science to guide their opinions from the beginning.

But it’s just now people are beginning to figure out UCP is not a regular political party. They are using fascistic policies and behaviour to change the culture, economy and norms in Alberta. Because they are a fascist party.

O’Toole has praised Kenney for his covid strategy.

There are now fascist demonstrators outside hospitals making threats and intimidating patients and HCWs. Last Friday Dr. Darren Markland was informed his life has been threatened for continuing to speak out against policy that’s killing people needlessly.

If you can’t see what is happening, you’re willfully in denial.

This is FASCISM.

This is what it looks like. This is what it feels like. Terrifying, helplessness and confusion.

Fascists try to make your allies appear as your enemies and your enemies appear as friends.

As Alberta falls into chaos and calamity, anyone asking why we have a fucking election right now needs a slap across the face.

Our society is falling to pieces and you refuse to acknowledge it.

If you think O’Toole will not replicate this across Canada you’re a fool.

Albertans are being sacrificed to install fascism in Canada.

Ignore that at your own peril.

Why do we have an election? Because we need a fucking majority to prevent fascism from spreading throughout Canada. That’s why. Wake the fuck up and go vote strategically! Please.
