So uh…

About that Mountainview Freedom Forum.

It uh.

It got pretty wild.

Here’s @ABDanielleSmith arguing that not only should pastors who monetized the health protections get amnesty, but they should also get “compensation”.

Including Artur.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Not to be outdone, @BrianJeanAB stood up and pledged to never arrest a pastor if premier, and then went after the judiciary, yet again…

/2

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
So with Brian and Danielle both publicly pledging that they would never ever arrest a pastor, we only have one question…

Really?

/3

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
It’s remarkable that 2 of the front runners of the UCP leadership race go on & on about the constitution, but are so quick to undermine the institutions that uphold it like the judiciary, or simply say that they as supreme leader will choose what laws to follow.

There’s been a lot of conversation over the last few days about the flaws in the NDP’s vetting process and inconsistencies with how it’s been utilized.

But here’s the thing.

We can’t find any justification for it even existing in their constitution or bylaws…

🧵

/1
The NDP constitution is actually pretty clear on what is required for someone to run as a candidate.

Here it is.

That’s it.

/2
So while other parties have it written into their party rules that vetting is required, we can’t find anywhere that it exists as a legitimate party process with in Alberta NDP.

This is important.

Because it suggests it’s been created internally only.

Live tweeting the first UCP leadership panel?

Sounds like a plan!

1/ um… probably a whooooooole bunch.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Just jazzy elevator music so far…

The comments are…

They aren’t great. So far, we need more guns, land acknowledgements are terrible, and the MAGA crowd is here in force.

In true UCP fashion tho, definitely not starting on time.
Aaaaaand here we go!

Rob Anderson opens the show up.

He says 7 of the UCP candidates are here, one wasn’t invited because they’ve never been an MLA, that’s Bill Rock.

Introductions are underway and the screens are so TINY!

WHOA.

Let’s untangle this a bit.

A brand new “parents union” pops up after the province defunds the parents council that appears to be run by one of the alleged money men for the kamikaze campaign?

But wait there’s even more?!?

/1

They also get a shout out from “Alberta Proud” in this article.

Alberta Proud being the “advocacy group” whose website was originally registered by the founder of Canada Action?

Whose lawyer for a good chunk of time was Tyler Shandro?

/2
So we have a new “parents” advocacy group with all kinds of complicated Kenney/UCP ties that’s popped up and doing a provincial tour being propped up by other hard right orgs to influence the education system…?

Seems legit.

One of the big proponents of “replacement theory” is Tucker Carlson.

The same guy who constantly misrepresents Critical Race Theory on FOX.

The same CRT that Kenney invoked as something he was fighting against during his leadership review speech.

/1

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
While Canada doesn’t have quite the same ammosexual relationship with firearms as the US, it would be profoundly naïve to not recognize the Americanization of conservative politics in Canada.

/2
The UCP government has made guns a political football in Alberta.

They’ve also done the same wi thing with access to health care via “conscience rights”.

And they’re literally Americanizing the education system by plagarizing curriculum from the states.

Looks like it might be time for another chat about The Dorchester Review…

You know, the “magazine” run by the same guy who by some accounts wrote Jason Kenney’s Social studies curriculum?

Thread…

/1

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #aber
The Dorchester Review has decided to again double down on “not all First Nations kids who went to residential schools were forced”.

Which is true, but like saying “Not everyone who ever stayed in a concentration camp at any point in history died”.

It is, at best a pedantic & semantic argument.

The number of sources used in a article doesn’t speak to the quality of the info or how it’s used.

Don’t believe us?

Google “Hydroxychloroquine” or “Ivermectin”. You’ll find lots of source notes…
