Indigenous Rock the Vote in Alberta raising awareness on reserves about how voting in the maga-ucp referendum is defending the treaties. I've heard there will soon be some outreach from Indigenous nations to non-Indigenous Canadian-Albertans to join together against our common conservative traitor enemies.

The rising hate against Indigenous, gender diverse, immigrants, etc. is occurring under Liberal governance. We obviously and minimally need an inquiry into the cancelling of human rights in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but it appears the Lib-Cons aren't doing enough/anything because they are scared of losing votes from their radical new conservative wing.

A problem with markets for wildlife is that Indigenous people have had markets for wildlife products forever, but the colonists and their guns wiped out the game the first people relied on for food and markets. Then the Canadian and US govts implemented the North American Model of Wildlife Consevation to save and restore the lead-eradicated wildlife populations, and one of the tenets is no markets for wildlife (which was a keystone of the recovery of lost wildlife). The loss of many furbearer populations then birds was to supply European markets, and Indigenous trappers and hunters were part of that market. So some Indigenous nations and the non-Indigenous hunter-outfitters want wildlife markets but both previously contributed to the market-driven depletions of wildlife (rarity boosts prices).
The report cited 17 examples in Canada, the U.S., U.K., Germany and New Zealand which “illustrate the intersections and relationships between ideologically motivated violent extremism and uniformed personnel.” Six of the cases involved members of the Canadian military or reserves.

Banning yankee hunters, especially big game shooters that come to Alberta, is an excellent target as most of the hunters and likely all the big game hunters are a magamen pipeline that bring their gun cult idiocracy, maga hate and trumpy fascism into Canada.

Very few National Parks are large enough to maintain the ecological interactions necessary to keep the park healthy. That's why biodiversity conservation has been establishing buffer parks around National Parks. The buffer parks have less regulation, but are way better than capitalist exploitation.

The edmonton journal used to have a two page editorial section where they published a conservative and a liberal/not con article about a topic. The news is not supposed to be biased, so both editorial bias and especially front page ads aren't journalism.
Coyne is RW biased, but still had the journalistic integrity to jump when his employer ditched journalistic principles and became tabloid propaganda. Senator Simons also has outlined how yankee ownership of postmedia turned it into a propaganda outlet. My eyes aren't clouded, I have no political alliance (no memberships), but these days the NDP are the only party with integrity and a commitment to democracy so I strongly support them.
"Australia's airports are monopolists
This situation has arisen because Australia's airports are, indisputably, monopoly operators.
It is widely accepted that a private monopolist, as the sole producer of a service, is able to "use its market power to set prices that exceed costs, to the detriment of economic efficiency and social welfare." Regulation is intended to ameliorate these effects."
"Airport privatisation has not delivered anticipated benefits
Privatisation of Australia's airports promised to offer many benefits: more efficient management of assets, investment, and downward pressure on prices and airfares.
Yet, in the absence of an effective regulatory regime, airport privatisation has ultimately resulted in higher costs for users: both airlines and passengers. This is starkly illustrated in the ACCC's most recent Airports' Monitoring Report."

In the document, titled "Letter to America" and written in 2002, bin Laden goes on a rant about the U.S., blaming the country's intervention in the Middle East, including its decades-long support for Israel, for the bloodshed of Afghans and Palestinians.
In the letter, the 9/11 mastermind pinpoints the U.S. for the oppression of the Palestinian people by Israel, writing: "The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its price, and pay for it heavily."

The ucp traitors have already undermined the ability to investigate electoral fraud.
"The summary says the bill will also introduce a new threshold for investigations, putting the onus on a complainant to “provide a substantively completed investigation” before the election commissioner can even start looking into a complaint.
“We are not aware of any other jurisdiction in Canada that has imposed a similar standard to initiate investigations,” it says, noting that move would eliminate the majority of compliance work by the election commissioner.
And, if the bill passes, it would force the election commissioner to defend their decisions as a “quasi-prosecutor” before the courts if they are appealed, the document says.
McClure points to further concerns about the elimination of vote anywhere provisions, the removal of vouching for voter identification, and the change to timelines associated with special ballots."

Quid pro quo:
"Postmedia’s publications have endorsed the Conservative Party in every federal election since the company’s founding in 2010. This is no coincidence. A 2015 investigation confirmed that the decision to endorse the Conservatives was made at Postmedia’s head office, not independently by local editorial boards. When Edmonton Journal columnist Paula Simons confirmed this publicly on social media, it was one of the few moments of transparency in what had otherwise been a deliberately opaque process.
Andrew Coyne, then head of the National Post’s editorial board, resigned over the episode after being denied permission to publish a column dissenting from the chain’s Conservative endorsement. The day after that endorsement ran, the front page of every Postmedia newspaper in the country carried a full-page Conservative Party advertisement — designed to look strikingly like Elections Canada materials."

@tod@hci.social Some of the anti-democracy actions of the Lib-Cons that have undermined our democracy:
- whipped votes in parliament
- omnibus bills
- authoritarian control in the PMO
- allowing MP's that have no security clearance in the house
- not addressing foreign hostile espionage attacks, from Postmedia to Fraser Institute to social media to Ai (eg FB should have been cancelled when it blocked Canadian news, X is a fucking nazi platform...etc etc)
- floor crossing without byelections
- failure of federal govt to address charter violations and sham regulations by provinces (failed federal oversight)
- failure to fix the courts that particpate in cultural genocide (ignoring constitution)
- no access to the justice system by anyone not a millionaire
- gross failure on treason and sedition from the convoy to the nazi rally in BC for T&R

I'm just pointing out the argument follows the same lines as are used against land turbines. Alberta is the heartland of renewables disinfo, so my trigger is light and I need quality research on renewables before I accept conclusions. If you have followed me, you know I am also critical of renewables when their negative externality is factually demonstrated, like how turbines are a critical threat to N.Am. bats because the wind industry refuses to implement mitigations unless regulations force them.
