My husband and I were discussing this issue this morning.
Neither of us could figure out why leaders who are intentionally putting lives at risk are not being charged with crimes against humanity. This is the equivalent to mass murder.
If leaders ordered police to shoot & open fire in a crowd, it’s qualitatively no different than how covid has been handled by many on the far right.
We know shooting bullets into a crowd will kill some, injure others and terrorize the population.
Refusing to use actual science to make covid mitigation decisions has the same effect. Except covid is a more targeted attack. People who are unvaccinated are more likely to be affected. That includes all children under 12.
Basically, Kenney ordered covid measures that ensured our children were at an increased risk of disease transmission, putting their lives and long term health at risk.
The act was intentional, based on false debunked pseudoscience and criminally negligent at best.
A talented prosecutor might be able to make a case this is attempted mass murder.
But I’m also sure the AB prosecutors are all UCP hand picked lackeys who wouldn’t dream of bringing charges against Herr Bumbles. Which is unfortunate.
All to pander to a radicalized extremist evangelical Christian nationalist community (Dominionists), Q’Anon conspiracy theorists and pseudoscience supporters in order to maintain & consolidate political support.
There are numerous conservative pundits on CBC offering apologetics for O’Toole trying to protect his brand and distance him from any fallout.
Most of them are blaming PMJT for the Alberta outcome. 🤥 This is known as political spin.
Though I’m uncertain how LPC is to blame since PMJT called a snap election on the eve of Kenney’s planned removal of all mitigation measures. Which would have made the catastrophe even worse in Alberta.
And people still wonder why we have an election during a pandemic. 🤦🏻♀️
Alberta’s premier authorized and planned to implement an aggressive attack on the citizens of Alberta using a deadly pathogen and removal of any government support to mitigate its effects on the population.
That’s why we have an election in the middle of a pandemic.
Because sadistic malignant religious narcissists, who are aligned with Trump & GOP radicalized Republicans, were willing to use a disease to consolidate fascist power to intimidate and threaten life long illness and even death, to gain the upper hand in Canadian politics.
Unlike the US, political interference in the federal Department of Justice is not common.
I hope that DOJ prosecutors are putting together evidence to charge and remove UCP from power. Since our premier and inept and spineless MLAs used a disease as a bio weapon on Albertans.
It will not be enough to remove Kenney. The entire UCP party is responsible and culpable. The party has lost all credibility, all moral authority & all legal claim to govern. When you intentionally try to harm the people you’re charged to protect, you forfeit all claim to govern.
Trying to kill people and create the collapse of healthcare is criminal in nature.
Spinning the snap election as inappropriate during a pandemic is an obvious attempt to flip the narrative to distract from the heinous plans Kenney made and was about to implement.
Both Singh and O’Toole are leaning heavily on this narrative. Even more so in the last few days. Neither Singh nor O’Toole condemn Kenney’s covid response. O’Toole even praised Kenney’s covid strategy mere days ago. Both blame PMJT for calling an election. Why?
What would have happened in Alberta if PMJT didn’t call a snap election? Testing & tracing would have ceased August 16, 2021. Unless hospitalized, Albertans would be forced to pay for a test individually. Those diagnosed with covid would not have been required to isolate.
Children would have returned to school in an unmasked environment, exposing unprotected children under 12 to a highly contagious and deadly virus. Liberty proponents able to invade public spaces with no masks or protections for others.
AB would have 5000 cases per day by now.
PMJT is correct, he cannot intervene in provincial purview. He can NOT order Kenney to cease and desist from implementing a deadly policy that is intended to kill. Even though the policy threatens national security, democracy & AB citizens.
But he could & did call an election.
One has to wonder if federal politicians could be prosecuted as well.
It’s no secret Singh & O’Toole have been relying on the decision to call a snap election to increase their popularity amongst the electorate. It’s obvious Bernier has been inciting violence & intimidation.
Fascist demonstrations that disrupt political campaigning of Liberals, intimidation of patients and healthcare workers at hospitals, spreading of disinformation about vaccinations and openly seeking to cause anarchy and chaos in the nation are acts of sedition. Not protest.
I hope CSIS has been monitoring these “insurrectionists in waiting” and obtaining information about any cross border collaboration with the FBI.
Kenney’s “sorry, not sorry” apology came three days before a planned global fascist demonstration on September 18, 2021.
Many are aware of the planned demonstration in support of Jan 6 insurrection rioters at the US Capitol, but there are also plans for 400 other global locations for demonstrations opposing covid vaccines and passports. Including Parliament Hill & several other Canadian locations.
People like me warned that January 6, 2021 was a dress rehearsal. We weren’t lying or hyperbolizing.
Saturday is a planned global fascist demonstration.
Why do fascists plan to gather in over 400 locations simultaneously?
That’s a good question. I can hardly wait to find out. I’m sure it’s not a call to violent insurrection in multiple locations; otherwise known as an act of war and a coordinated attempt to overthrow multiple democracies at once. (Actually I’m not sure).😡🤬
I don’t know what will happen. But it’s in two days. Be aware & prepared for anything.
Are Dominionists and Q’Anon conspiracists going to try to create global anarchy? You only have two days to wait to find out.
Yesterday I was alerted that my name and a personal photo were being dragged through the mud in an effort to discredit me, my integrity and create serious doubt on my identity as a Métis woman. This is known as a character assassination or more colloquially, a “take down”.
I’ve written about identity politics and even shared that my identity has been attacked by people with hidden agendas.
I’ve even profiled some of the mobbing on Twitter. So people can witness how aggressively abusive some people become when living in an echo chamber you breach.
But those attacks have always been public. Directed at me and I don’t like when others defend me because it’s pointless and makes them a target.
I enjoy an intellectual verbal joust every now and then. It’s a flaw in my character. I’m ok with it.
I will never forget how much this election costs since it’s repeated ad nauseam several times daily by opposition leaders as a dig against PMJT.
I’ll gladly contribute my taxes to pay for an election that gains LPC a majority. I’d even pay extra.
I’m so tired of O’Toole’s coded language saying he would never interfere in provinces decisions regarding covid.
If we didn’t have an election called and federal intervention in Alberta, we would be in much more severe conditions. It’s plenty bad enough already.
That is what O’Toole is saying. “Respecting provinces jurisdiction” is code for “laissez faire” or leave them alone. If Kenney implemented policy that killed people in large numbers, O’Toole is saying clearly he would not intervene on Albertans behalf, or any other province.
If people actually read a few books, they would already know what’s happening. They would recognize what Mulroney is referencing to a crowd of concerned libertarians needing reassurance O’Toole is going to deliver them “freedom & liberty” to reap a Canadian resource harvesting.
CIA backed Pinochet coup d’état in Chile 1973 was the beginning of libertarian redesign of democracy to suit the needs and wants of the very wealthy. A model further perfected over the years.
Nancy Maclean “Democracy In Chains”. Maclean reveals the architect of the libertarian Disaster Capitalist (anarcho-capitalist) movement funded by Koch Brothers, Mont Pelerin Society and CNP: James Buchanan. The source of Public Choice theory.
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.
When you assume a defensive position to an unverified narrative, you make the underlying narrative appear to be true.
Stop defending Trudeau and attack the people spreading false narratives.
That’s the dirty trick being played on Canadians.
It’s the NDP, CPC and MSM acting in bad faith. Make them answer to their malfeasance and manipulation of truth. It’s not up to Trudeau to prove innocence. It’s up to the accuser to prove guilt. And they haven’t. They just pretend it’s an established fact.
Every time you’ve wondered how well known politicians and controversial yet popular provocateurs get away with posting clear violations of Facebook policy, is explained here.
A list of people who have no restrictions on anything they write, broadcast, create, post, etc. Including revenge porn and incitement to hatred and violence.
Now consider the current Canadian federal election.
And view it through the lens of Bill C-10.
Why are we having an election?
Did CPC and NDP block Bill C-10 from being approved? Yes. Enormous effort was made to spin the bill as an attempt to block user generated content.
But the bill was actually intended to monitor Social Media owners enforcement of their own rules.
