Smart woman, Melanee Thomas. Incomplete analysis of Kenney, UCP & covid though.

No disrespect Ms Thomas, but the answer to what happened has already been answered. What Albertans are going to do about it is the question that needs to be asked.
Jason Kenney has a long history in politics. He attempted to gain a theology degree, but that didn’t work out. His youthful political activism included soliciting the Pope to sanction his university’s priests for permitting women to speak freely on campus about abortion rights.
He was also central in blocking gay men’s partners from visiting them in San Francisco hospitals during the beginning of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980’s.

After leaving college, he became the contact for Canadian Taxpayers Assoc. Then moved onto join the Reform Party in 1987.
Kenney has been a member of the Reform Party, Canadian Alliance Reform Party, Conservative Party of Canada, the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party (which he merged with the Wildrose Party) and the United Conservative Party. That’s his entire work history.
He’s tortured gay men who were dying, sought Papal interference in a university’s administration decision making, admonished opposition parties who actually try to set policies that help citizens (because they cost too much) and worked as a politician the remainder of his career.
Kenney is a professional politico. He has known no other profession but manipulating perception to impose far right evangelical Christian policy on society. That’s his “raison d'être” or his reason for being. It’s who he is and what he does.
He’s so committed to imposing what he believes is the correct way of being in the world, that he’s never married or had a relationship. Many believe this means he is gay, but I don’t believe so. He’s deeply religious and zealously faithful. He’s tenacious and driven.
When Harper CPC lost the election to LPC in 2015, Harper quit almost immediately. Kenney waited until Notley NDP won the provincial election.

Decades of activism and planning were at risk of being undermined.
Yes there has been a long game plan for religious evangelicals to take over politics and reform Canada’s cultural, social and economic power centres for decades.

Kenney has been part of that objective since day one.
A review of Reform Party platform confirms Kenney’s objective.

It bears no structural difference to the current CPC, the UCP or any other provincial Conservative party platform, because Reform has overtaken every Conservative party in Canada.

But reform isn’t conservative.
Reform party was ALWAYS deeply religious and libertarian.

Preston Manning, Ted Byfield, Stockwell Day, Jason Kenney Stephen Harper. They are ALL zealous evangelical Christians that want to remould society, culture, economics and politics to promote Christian principles.
Reform came under heavy criticism from the public. Their policies were not well received by anyone but those with extreme intolerances and prejudices. So this element has always been targeted to support Reform policies. It is not a new feature added recently.
It’s why the party leaders have worked diligently to dispel the perception of intolerance being a central feature of their ideology. Appealing to BIPOC & LGBTQ who support the free market and right libertarian policies. And do not resist the archaic ideological social policies.
But that’s who this group of mostly white, zealously religious, patriarchal and hierarchical men are.

They’ve been working on installing nationally what “Bible Bill” Aberhart and Ernst Manning installed in Alberta in 1935. White Christian Libertarian traditionalist dominance.
Also known as paleolibertarianism or the Dominionist political movement.

A 2007 interview reveals the belief system in abundant detail. Notice the similarities in CPC and UCP policies and objectives.
Property Rights.
Anti-statism.
Free Markets. Provincial Rights.
What’s more frightening is that Reform party members have also infiltrated and influenced progressive party policy and beliefs and ethnic groups from the inside.

Some Progressives are seeking abolishment of the senate, PR vs FPTP, complete overhaul of the political system.
An end to constitutional monarchy. Removal of federal purview. Devolving to regional independent constituencies untethered to a constitution (#LandBack). Use of direct democracy or mob rule (ochlocracy). Removal of human rights and freedoms. Anarchy.
The reason NDP and GPC seem so aligned with conservative policies is because they are. Public Choice theory has been adopted by NDP and GPC in their pursuit of PR and electoral reform. Which would give them and PPC guaranteed representation and a platform.
This has all been meticulously planned by Reform party members including Jason Kenney and his mentor Stephen Harper. It’s a global plan.

What’s worse is that a number of Albertans have adopted this policy and seek to implement and install it as soon as possible.
Large numbers of people have moved to Alberta. The population has almost doubled in size in 35 years. And a significant portion are Dominionists. Migration has changed the culture. Around 20% of citizens are Dominionist Christian nationalists relocated here from across the globe.
That’s why Alberta is so “conservative”. Don’t balk, Christian nationalists have moved to Ontario too. And Saskatchewan, BC, Manitoba Mennonite communities have grown. Protestant/Non Denominational evangelical Church planting is occurring across Canada.
Canada is being recolonized by evangelical Christians.

Who spent years in federal cabinet orchestrating a new immigration policy? Jason Kenney. Several Christian immigrants have resettled in Canada and brought extremist Christian evangelical beliefs with them.
CPC couldn’t grow its support with its platform, but they did arrange to import a larger support base by changing the immigration policies and privatizing the screening of applicants.

Jason Kenney is an extremist, a demagogue and an ideologue.
He’s a dangerous man who tried to kill and injure Albertans with removal of all covid mitigation policy.

But that’s because he’s been receiving extreme pressure from UCP executives, MLAs and community supporters from across Alberta & Canada to abandon covid mitigation.
Extremism is synonymous with the UCP. It’s not just Kenney. It’s the whole party and what it stands for.

UCP has abandoned democracy and an ochlocracy of unelected officials controls provincial policy. That’s why he’s being vilified and being asked to resign.
He caved to public pressure instead of waiting until the federal election was over to impose new (but severely inadequate) covid restrictions.

That’s pissed off the ochlocratic UCP top brass. Not because he didn’t act for so long, but because he did act.
Kenney and a whole cabal of Dominionist middlemen have been working towards the elimination of democracy, the removal of federal legitimate authority and the installation of paleolibertarian policy.
The question isn’t how do we survive Kenney. It’s how do we survive this organized and coordinated attack on Canadian democracy, on human rights, on our security of person (public health) and on our lives?

That’s the question we need to be asking.
It’s clear if you read this 🧵 about UCP riding executives.

Kenney is reviled not because he held off and allowed people to die, but because he imposed more restrictions.

They want healthcare to collapse. It will create chaos and widespread fear.
If you’re an Albertan, you need to recognize we no longer live in a true democracy.

Fascists masquerading as devout Christians have gained control of the governance of this province and are orchestrating its demise and dismantling of legitimate authority.
The real question is what are you going to do about it?

They aren’t going away. They aren’t backing down. They don’t care if we know what they’re doing.

They’re going to do it anyway.

They are in charge. They have the power of the premier.
Pundit after pundit, expert after expert completely bypass the Dominionist agenda.

Did you listen to conservatives today? They aren’t talking about how they’re going to work with LPC to end covid.

Nope.
They’re planning for another attempt at a coup in 18 months. So they can take over Canada and do this nationally. Alberta UCP members are trying to turf Kenney to install a premier who won’t back down to public pressure from the general population.
The UCP top brass want a premier who will follow demands of the ochlocracy and remove all covid mitigation and let the chips fall where they may.

What prevented Kenney from removing every covid mitigation on August 16, 2021?

The writ dropped August 15, 2021. Not HCW protests.
So now that we did not get a majority LPC federal government, it’s up to Albertans to do something or submit to the ochlocrats and protect yourself as best as possible.

What ya gonna do?

I’ve avoided this information because it is personal and deeply impactful on my psyche. But it illustrates our current predicament quite clearly.

And I’ve had lots of therapy.
My mother developed full blown bipolar disorder at around age 35. It went untreated until I dragged her (literally) into the University Hospital Psychiatric walk in clinic to have her diagnosed when she was 50.
Fifteen years of medically untreated mental illness and several years of instability before that. At first I thought she was just an alcoholic. She drank herself to oblivion frequently. Her symptoms worsened over the years. Delusional when manic. Almost catatonic when depressed.

@PaulDoroshenko It gets worse Paul the deeper you look.

Alberta is mere days away from triaging children. Allowing kids to die because O’Toole campaigned at Stampede BEFORE the election was called. And it’s not just CPC. There are multitudes of complicit actors. It is disgusting!
@PaulDoroshenko In case people are having trouble putting the dots together because they are so disturbing…

Kenney delayed asking for federal assistance until after the election which not only filled ICU to 170% capacity, but is soon to impact PICU capacity, requiring triage of children.
@PaulDoroshenko The gaslighting, disinformation, smears, fake scandals and lies offered by CPC, NDP, GPC and an anti statist faction of vocal FN which many believe speak for all indigenous people (they don’t) have contributed to this outcome.

It’s repulsive!

The media is ignoring it.

I want every CPC, NDP and GPC voter to read this tweet.

READ THIS TWEET IF YOU VOTED TO BRING DOWN THE LIBERALS!

Yes, I’m screaming at you!

This is the state of affairs in Alberta. Sixty one physicians begged Kenney to request assistance from LPC on Sept 13/21.
He didn’t send the letter requesting help until today. September 21, 2021.

So he wouldn’t impact O’Toole’s electoral chances any more than he already had by ordering extremely inadequate covid restrictions.

Twenty nine people died today.

29.
You voted for this.

You enabled O’Toole to continue campaigning even today.

Complaining about the cost of the $600M election during a pandemic.

Do you think the 29 people who died in the last 24 hours because Kenney stalled asking for help were not worth $600M?

Wrote this thread a few hours ago. Low and behold a swarm of Singh supporters with extremist and radicalized beliefs come to his rescue.
Trotskyists, Marxists, left libertarians defending their nihilism and anti statism.

People who fall much further left ideologically than NDP presents itself typically.

Their beliefs and conduct during discussion are questionable.
Manipulating truth and statements to serve an agenda. Using personal insults and attacks to discredit or nullify opinions they don’t like.

That’s mobbing. Applying multiple points of peer pressure to retract dissenting narratives or attack personally when that’s not followed.

It’s apparent to me that Singh is using contempt for political discourse as a method of attracting support.

We criticize CPC for being cynical and negative, what about NDP?

Half naked in a shower, wasting water, a blank vacant look of contempt.
This is supposed to attract voters? Who wants support from disaffected youth with cynical outlooks and zero regard for the dignity and respect required of a global leader?

Obviously JS does.
Who wants their kids inundated with cynicism and pessimism about their future? Obviously JS believes this is a strategy that will win him favour by “dissing” (disrespecting) the role of national leader.

Please let Canada know Alberta healthcare is about to collapse. Edmonton morgues are full. Rural ER’s are unable to cope.
We require an immediate lockdown, not just restrictions.

Delta is spreading like wildfire.

We need help. The situation is desperate.

People are dying.

Please don’t abandon us.

Those dying don’t deserve this. No one does. We need help desperately.
Never forget this was completely avoidable.

Never forget why this is so bad.

Kenney and UCP created this nightmare by removing restrictions and LYING to Albertans that covid was over.

Kenney, Shandro and Dr. Hinshaw should be charged with criminal negligence.
