It’s interesting that so many switch allegiances with every utterance.

If you’re observant you can see who among your follows is unable to trust what’s happening is in their best interests.

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself” is good advice about now. FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.

In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.

It amazes me how easily people respond to radical left & right propaganda.

The radical left declares PMMC to be worse than Harper and people believe it without question.

Why?

These radicalized extremist assholes are no different than the far right. They play on your fears. However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language. Image

As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.

This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now! I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.

A very difficult question to answer. Not because it’s complicated. It’s not. It’s rather simple.

But most people aren’t aware of these issues because the far right and radical left work so hard to distract from actual issues and agreed upon solutions. @Vanessa_Sarges With that caveat now in place, the answer is as follows:

During Trump’s first term, he arranged for Mike Pompeo, former DCI, to meet with Russia to develop “cooperation” for cyber crime investigations.

That’s probably what people remember and immediately think of irt the 2AP. Image

Anyone notice the First Nation Chief interviewed is negotiating in public, right out in the open?

aptnnews.ca/national-news/… He indicates some First Nations actually support secession from Canada.

The plan for Treaty 6 chiefs was to get assurance that Treaty would be recognized & honoured. Not block the referendum.

The article acknowledges language changes, but it serves secessionists interests. Image

@sqirlgirly I don’t care how devastated Americans are feeling right now.

I’m enraged that so many are sorry now that the evil has been unleashed. But they had a viable alternative that 90 million chose to stay home and not elect.

They weren’t bothered to help themselves. @sqirlgirly Now that Canada is under threat of losing sovereignty from a madman and a large number of American Nazis and white supremacists who were cited into power by masquerading as Christians, they want absolution.

Fuck that.

Ok.

Many think this is a distraction.

And it is.

But, UCP is NOT concerned about negative media coverage in one news media with a paywall while several pro con media (mainstream and independent) continue to ignore the corrupt-care scandal we are all so bent out of shape over. Image
Image Book banning is not a distraction.

This is the main focus of the Christian Nationalist base within UCP.

Think back to the provincial NDP govt in Alberta. Remember the traditionalist Christian and Muslim reaction to Ontario sex education curriculum in 2018.

So…

I decided to deconstruct and analyze the Federal Liberal Party Mandate Letter.

The letter is available online. I just want to focus on what to expect in the coming months since a budget will not be forthcoming for awhile.

After reading the mandate letter, I can see why. Language conveys meaning. Words are chosen carefully. I have no doubt PM Carney composed this himself. It’s bureaucratic speak. But it’s relatively easy to understand.

First: a new approach to governing.

Expect prodigious and monumental changes within the public service. Image

PP’s main political ad states, “anyone from anywhere can do anything…”. That statement is the most egregious lie I’ve ever heard.

This attitude and belief is why people who support CPC are so agitated. They have been indoctrinated to believe they are entitled to power. We have all been told we can achieve any goal if we put in the effort. But listen carefully to the content of PP’s promise.

Anyone from anywhere can do anything.

That’s indoctrinating propaganda. Not a campaign commitment.

PP has campaigned for 3 years on a broken Canada.

I’m actually not surprised that a couple negative experiences and people are willing to abandon their beliefs and values.

Some facts:

Journalists are human beings.

Gilmore has progressive values and beliefs.

Disinformation is used to manipulate perception & behaviour. I have seen a tendency to favour radical left progressives in her analysis. But she remains quite accurate nonetheless. Gilmore hasn’t misrepresented facts & truth, often going above and beyond to establish a common reality & truth.

We are being forced to judge her credibility.

This is sabotage of Liberal candidates using identity politics to destroy reputations.

Anyone under the impression these two people are pro Canada? No.

They’re antiestablishment anarcho syndicalists seeking to facilitate the social collapse we see occurring in US right now. Image

Image This bullshit needs to be exposed!

It’s occurring on both ends of extreme politics.

Ok. We all understand the bargaining chip rationale for the reason Smith should not keep mentioning export tariffs on O&G.

What I am now pointing out to Albertans is that Smith is and always has been an American bargaining chip. Smith has done much to undermine the Team Canada bargaining position.

She is not advocating for Alberta from the position of loyal patriot. She’s bargaining on behalf of Trump’s interests; O&G oligarch’s interests.

Your confusion is understandable, she was elected as premier.

This is someone who is trying to get people to not vote.

Do not buy their bogus arguments. Image In case you think I’m overreacting…

These are people trying to demoralize voters who have indicated a preference for the liberal party because of Trump. Because it’s clear LPC and PMMC are in majority party territory.

So this narrative is targeting the soft voter support. Image

What I find hilarious is the cons aren’t questioning PM Carney. They’re questioning the validity of his Oxford PhD.

Oxford is a top university that’s been in operation for roughly a millennia, since 1096.

Oxford is the oldest English speaking university globally. But sure, Oxford’s standards are so weak they gave Carney a PhD without vetting his dissertation and it’s only come to be recognized as problematic 30 years later by Canadian cons desperately seeking a compromising narrative with which to smear PMMC during a federal campaign.

When you look at this map and the corresponding commentary, it at first glance seems ridiculous and vapid to assume this is what Trump is working towards.

But that’s only if you ignore that we are currently in a major reset of global power dynamics and shifting of world order. What most human beings ignore is that it’s not money that signifies power. It’s control of trade. Not trade itself, but control of trade routes, trade tariffs & trade barriers.

A review of history tells this is blatantly true.

It’s not technological advancement, it’s trade.

PART 1: POPULISM SUCKS!

This seems like an innocent question, but it’s actually a POPULIST TRAP.

We will witness a plethora of pro labour populism now that it’s all that remains of the NDP & an election is imminent.

It’s a desperate attempt to fatally wound Liberals. There were policies proposed in the last budget update which were problematic for more people than just Freeland.

The focus of labour parties is often only on workers. But the governing Liberal party must govern for all citizens, not just workers.

ALL CITIZENS!

Before putting out such a controversial post about a convoy leader vilified and criticized for his crass remarks and bigoted beliefs, you should check for a legal opinion of what this means.

There are a lot of Canadians angry about his sentence.

What are the implications? Is Pat King let off the hook for the biggest constitutional challenge in our collective lifetimes; the alleged attempted coup d’état of the duly elected Liberal federal government 3 months post election?

Or did his sentencing delay include time for him to be “Queen for a day”?

There ya go. The Con’s new election campaign focus.

Watch PP pivot to hammering on this narrative. Blaming PMJT and LPC for permitting fentanyl crisis to grow unchecked for 9 years.

Do you believe Danielle Smith is working for Canada? She has NEVER represented Alberta! Image
Image Smith has always been working towards destabilizing Canadian democracy and destroying Alberta institutions.

It’s irrelevant if you believed this from day one that she announced she was running for UCP leadership. Hind sight is better than foresight.

Read this please. It sounds just like the populating of the prairies.

Because that’s how colonization works. Genocide involves many ways of uprooting and destroying communities, families. “The destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group by means such as "the disintegration of its political and social institutions, of its culture, language, national feelings, religion, and its economic existence”.

Same thing happened when Ottawa sent immigrants to AB & SK.

Yes he is. But vilifying him will only drive the wedge deeper. Which is exactly what REFLEXIVE CONTROL is meant to do.

Your negative reaction makes CPC voters dig in their heels and shut out all information that challenges their worldview. It means we must play smarter and stop delivering the expected negative behaviour.

It means we must use critical thinking.

Trump wants to establish the belief that Canada’s LPC government is promoting drug trafficking.

That’s absurd of course, but we’re in a hybrid info war.
