“These were far and away the issues most strongly identified by Albertans during last year’s [highly engineered and manipulated] Alberta Next panel town halls and online submissions….[because the UCP knew that stoking these issues would play well with the misinformed far right part of our base and we need them on board if we want to win any more elections and continue our campaign to dismantle all of Alberta’s cherished institutions and impose rule by authoritarian Christian nationalists and oil corporations.]” There, I put in the parts that she is thinking but was too dishonest to say out loud.

4.9 million visas expired in Canada over the year. Imagine that? Meanwhile, our healthcare system and infrastructure bares the worst of it. Merit based immigration must be prioritized, not the other.

12:47 Having a knife, for the purpose of self defense, is a criminal offense in Canada. This is why the United States needs to annex us. Canadian laws are oppressive.

The more chaos you have the more the government benefits, and politicians are not looking after the peoples best interest they’re looking at they’re looking after their own bloodlines best interest, and enriching themselves in building their own family wealth with our money instead of actually being a public servant. That is the problem. This is why you need a big revolution around the world to kill off all these people that have their bloodline in the system for a very long time and these politicians are not anyone new. These are all from the same bloodline that are still in the system, just look at the United States almost 90% of everyone in politics in our country is a former slave owner‘s bloodline. How did that happen for 250 years they’ve been in the same position that needs to change these people need to be killed off. They need to be gone down.
Critiques government and political systems as corrupt and self-serving, with conspiratorial undertones about bloodline control and violent rhetoric.
