How does it feel to the average Albertan to be considered second class? Apparently UCP, CPC and other conservatives across Canada are exempt from COVID public health orders.
ENTITLEMENT. https://t.co/PmdZEUd3us
So the Premier's press secretary wouldn't acknowledge "texts, emails or phone messages" from the media for several days. This is her job. She's a press secretary. Is she just not doing her job, or is she also on a tropical vacation? \U0001f914#AbLeg #abpoli #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/q0evfu9tPU

How does it feel to the average Albertan to be considered second class? Apparently UCP, CPC and other conservatives across Canada are exempt from COVID public health orders.
But teachers, physicians, police, first responders, grocery workers, and every other Albertan is considered second class.
What kind of government flouts law and order?
These are fully informed political aids and politicians. Refusing to be limited by public health orders.
Don’t people need special permission to take vacation flights? They do. From the Premier or their minister.
Here is a more recent list of the number of people that travelled recently.
I got this from @Norlaine
-Michael Florian
-Eliza Snider
-Matt Wolf
-Nathan Neudorf (although his spin is he has "remained home" (in Canada?)
-Tracy Allard
-Pat Rehn
-Jamie Huckabay
-Jeremy Nixon
- Tanya Fir
So, we're up to 9.
And people on are moderately annoyed at best?!?
WTF ALBERTA?!? It’s time to get mad and seek justice. This is injustice.
Learned helplessness is when you’re resigned to accept a government that kills with policy and also has the arrogance and hubris to absolve themselves from the orders they decree.
That’s what voter apathy is. And it’s caused by the consolidation of power like this display of utter contempt for the population of Alberta.
This information should be inducing rage, not moderate annoyance.
This is the type of power as citizens that our Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives us the ability to loudly and peacefully object and force to resign.
This is a 3 alarm warning ⚠️ 🚨🚨🚨
It’s time to get vocal.

If you thought disinformation on Facebook was a problem during our election, just wait until you see how it is shredding the fabric of our democracy in the days after.

Look at what has happened in just the past week.
In other words, the Social Media monopoly Facebook commands globally has gone full fascist in an attempt to preserve the corrupt and criminal hold on power by Republicans and Trump Administration.
Aiding and abetting a coup d’état.
As if there weren’t enough other reasons to dismantle Facebook’s monopoly, Zuckerberg is playing his cards and revealing clearly that Cambridge Analytica election interference was not just a onetime anomaly, but is now a feature of Facebook’s business model.
Megalomaniac Marc has now revealed the true colours of Fascist Facebook.
Facebook is a weapon to manipulate the masses. A tool to carry out disinformation campaigns with impunity.
And the response of the left... is to delete their Facebook account.
As if the deletion of a Facebook account will do anything. It might send a message that your virtues are principled, your morality superior. But it enables the weapon to be continued to gaslight and manipulate the electorate.
An inherent flaw in the left’s critical thinking.
A change in leadership in the US at the executive level does not alter the Republican Senators and Congress representatives. A few of whom are implicated in January 6, 2020 insurrection.
Canada has officially survived the presidency of Donald Trump. Well done gang. \U0001f1e8\U0001f1e6

There will be a strong urge to forget the danger and the corruption.
After a long period of extended fear, terror and daily assaults on political and social norms, many will want to forget and move forward.
But we cannot take our eyes off those out to dismantle democracy.
Those breathing a sigh of relief, tomorrow this all resumes again in the US. It’s only temporarily paused in the US and correspondingly in Canada.
The urge to move on is strong. Resist it. Celebrate victories and achievements, but DO NOT walk away and forget.
Canadian conservative politicians are tightly connected to many of the Republican traitors who attacked the Capitol Jan 6.
None of them are going to give up. They’ll regroup. They’ll reorganize.
In the mean time, we are all required to stay alert. There is much to do.
The far right has let their agenda be known. They want to end democracy in US and in Canada. That goal is not off the table.
They will continue to pursue this agenda.
Yesterday 12 National Guard members were removed from service.

One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing
