In March 2020 when Dr. Hinshaw closed schools down, Kenney was furious. He couldn’t reverse the order without seriously damaging his credibility & revealing his true nature. So he did the next best thing. He gave himself absolute power.
I’m not sure if the significance of the travelling at Christmas is well understood.
Kenney is thumbing his nose at Albertans.
This is no ordinary thumbing. He’s basically letting Albertans know that he and his MLAs will do as they please and there will be no consequences.

The powers he bequeathed upon himself and his political party are only in effect when a Public Health Emergency is invoked. Kenney invoked a Public Health Emergency in late November 2020.
This is not one of those occasions.
There is nothing stopping Kenney and UCP from enacting, changing and removing any law, including human rights legislation.
Kenney’s decisions are directly responsible for covid becoming pervasive throughout the province and over 1000 people dying thus far.
With schedule of fall administration of vaccines for the general population, that gives Kenney a full year of unfettered power.
He just made himself king of Alberta & I’m sure he’s feeling smug, not worried.
Not rigid and authoritarian. Not somewhat like an autocracy. I meant fascist.
But people don’t want to acknowledge and accept that UCP is not a regular political party.
Strategically, he’s several steps ahead of the vast majority of the public.
We are being ruled, not governed.
This is how fascism works. It’s not like he’s going to blatantly announce that he’s installing a fascist regime. The public will eventually figure it out they have no power.
Kenney is not an idiot. If you judge him using your standards, he seems like one. But he has his own agenda. And his own standards.
How about 14 days of quarantine? Anyone being asked to wait out their 14 days in isolation without pay? Highly doubtful.
Kenney didn’t just act weird on Friday.
So will Trudeau intervene with the Emergency Act. Nope. Not bad enough yet.
Now do you recognize it’s fascism?

Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.
As a Priest and Bishop-Elect, I\u2019d ask that the UCP send Christmas greetings without the wholly inappropriate inference of divine sanction for their government. There are so many things wrong with their use of these words from the Prophet Isaiah it\u2019s hard to know where to start. https://t.co/rwOxVzvnI5

The quote is often repeated at Christmas. “A child is born...” makes reference to the birth of Jesus. Makes sense.
But what does it mean?
Christians (and other religious observers with their religious texts) have made an art form out of interpreting what passages mean.
To those most radically devout (some might say zealously faithful), hidden divine meanings are gleaned from “correctly” reading the bible.
That’s what Dominionists believe. That god himself wrote the bible. Through inspiration of the actual authors, & only they can interpret.
And thus, the “inerrant“ bible serves as a strict road map to save ones soul.
Many devout Christians view the passage as a prophecy made centuries before the birth of Christ. A promise made by god through one of his prophets. Jews interpret the passage very differently.
The Anglican Priest is (obviously) correct about this being supersessionism, and a form of Anti-Semitism.
Troublesome as it is for a Canadian provincial govt to be tweeting out Anti-Semitic propaganda, that’s not the only meaning this passage has for Dominionist Christians.

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.

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.

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):

The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹

Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹

References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
