The violence in this video is disturbing. You’ll witness death chants, a scaffold with noose, a shooting and an officer suffering intense trauma from being crushed.
To realize the extent of the treason committed on January 6, 2021, please watch this video.

And then remember Canadian, especially Albertan, conservatives are moving in this direction and have been supportive of Trump’s cabal, since the beginning.

How mentally warped must you be to calmly sit down with drinks and bar snacks after attempting a violent coup?
As the investigation unfolds around the attempted coup, the actual plans are revealed to be meticulously planned and diabolical in nature.
People in Calgary and Red Deer were demonstrating in support of the attempted coup.
It’s no secret that effigies of Trudeau are hung on a regular basis in some areas of Alberta. Failure to address this behaviour has provided tacit approval.
It’s a matter of time before this explodes in violent insurrection here in Alberta. It’s no longer a possibility, it’s assured.
Alberta is burgeoning to explode in ideological motivated violence as well.
Are Alberta based miscreants planning attacks on those who seek to hold the UCP responsible for their policy decisions?
Why no one wants to acknowledge that is beyond my comprehension.
Coal mining threatens the water source of most of the province.
And that’s only the beginning. Kenney has big plans to “expand the economy.” And shrink personal taxes through privatization.
At Christmas, UCP put out a Christmas message alluding to divine support for their agenda.
Many of the domestic terrorists believe they have divine support. So they stormed the Capitol.
It’s similar narratives with similar objectives. To consider it otherwise in the modern political landscape would be extremely foolish.
Trumpism (which we found out on January 6 is actually just modern fascism) is already alive and flourishing in Canada.

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.

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.

A lot of people are trying to figure out what UCP means by putting this biblical quote out into the twitter verse at Christmas.
Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.
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.

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

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.
