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?

This was exactly what I was about to write a thread warning about.
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.
Yesterday 12 National Guard members were removed from service.

Still believe Calgary protests are peaceful?
Not so much!
Not since Calgary police began enforcing the public health edict for masks and for gatherings.
Pair this violent Calgary protest with this opinion piece.
Is it any wonder that “liberty” ideologues are rebelling against Public Health Measures after the premier gave them every indication their freedom was superior to everyone else’s right to
We have evidence that Kenney is instigating STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.
This is what Trump is currently using to effect a coup in the US.
Maybe a journalist can ask Kenney why he stoked the ire of far right immediately prior to ordering a lockdown?

As Albertans, we are unfamiliar with the tactics used by fascists. Albertans are naive to subterfuge and sedition.
Stochastic terrorism is common in eastern European nations. Russia & Al Qaida use these tactics all the time, but with much more regularity, brutality & deaths.
Here’s an article from 2011. Spelling out the process of creating a “missile” or “lone wolf” by appealing to those individuals who are mentally unstable. Experts have known how stochastic terrorism works for well over a decade.

CPS took action against anti-maskers today, and this is what it turned into.
I got some things to say...

(1) Kushner is worth $324 million.
(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.
2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.
3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq
