Still believe Calgary protests are peaceful?

Not so much!

Not since Calgary police began enforcing the public health edict for masks and for gatherings. https://twitter.com/taylormadeyyc/status/1340497186178527233
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 life? https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/breakenridge-kenney-wounded-by-his-own-double-edged-sword-on-pandemic-lockdown
Breakenridge: Kenney wounded by his own double-edged sword on pandemic lockdown

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.

What has changed more recently is the ability to single out those with mental instability through digital surveillance.

In the documentary “People You May Know,” it reveals extremist evangelicals are using aggregated data to pinpoint & locate individuals with vulnerabilities.
Those individuals are then bombarded with propaganda, recruited by evangelical proselytizers and shaped into far right voters.

So what stops politicians from using this technology to produce “lone wolves?”

Nothing.
In fact there is evidence that this is precisely what is happening.

Human futures and the predictability of human behaviour is bought and sold as a commodity. An individual suffering from mental instability can be identified using aggregate data.
The only thing missing is health data. Current databases of personal data can predict mental instability with great accuracy.

So what would bad actors need health data, if already available data can predict mental instability? Save that for later.
UCP very recently passed bill 46 in the middle of the night. Within hours it had received Royal Assent. What was the urgency to pass this legislation, with minimal feedback from opposition?

Concerns were flagged by the Privacy Commissioner and Opposition MLAs.

Personal health data of Albertans can now legally be shared outside of Alberta. Little can be done to address breaches of privacy. By allowing entities that reside outside of Alberta to access Netcare information, the security of personal health data is compromised.

It’s no secret that UCP is moving towards virtual healthcare to augment and possibly replace the current primary care model in Alberta.

That includes providing access to Netcare to digitally based physician services.

Telus Health Babylon now has access to Netcare data.

So there is no need to replace physicians who are moving out of Alberta. Telus Health Babylon now has access to patients’ personal health information.

A primary care physician is not required to be a resident of Alberta to practice in Alberta. They can live anywhere in Canada.
Of course they would be subject to their own jurisdiction’s health data privacy legislation. Breaches are impossible to regulate with this legislation.

What stops physicians outside AB from breaching data privacy? Ethics.

That’s it.

AB privacy legislation wouldn’t apply.
So let’s go back to the question about why this was so urgently needed to be passed by UCP in the middle of the night, and why bad actors would need health data, if the capacity already exists to ferret them out using AI analysis.
COVid has created mentally unstable individuals. Many more. Those with identified mental health issues may be receiving supports (meds, counselling), but many more remain unidentified and are struggling independent of the healthcare system.
Who’s more vulnerable? Those receiving healthcare treatment and support? Or those living with mental instability & have no treatment or support?

Why would it be urgent to pass a bill in the dead of night, while COVid is raging & new mandates are being enforced?
When you answer those questions, it reveals Kenney’s intent and strategy. Kenney is implementing Trump’s strategy to effect a shift in power (a coup). He’s already in control of Alberta. So what jurisdiction could he be hoping to impact?
In the lead up to the second COVid wave, Kenney and UCP MLAs routinely criticized everyone who advocated for a lockdown, or even a mask mandate. Opposition MLAs, physicians, Dr. Tam, community members. Kenney advocated for liberty over lives.
Several times Kenney has equated livelihoods with actual human lives. Giving priority to individual freedom over collective security. Refusing to temporarily lockdown high risk businesses and preferring to preserve their right to profit.
Still inadequate, he finally changed his tune about a mask mandate, and imposed stricter measures to aid in stemming the spread of COVid. Banning all gatherings and making masks mandatory.

His liberty loving base is apoplectic. JCCF has filed a law suit.
And now we are seeing people connected to Rebel News, Keean Bexte, and the valuation of liberty over public safety, revolt against the public health orders. Threaten further challenges to put liberty above health safety.

And, since we DO NOT live in an information vacuum, this is entirely consistent with the actions occurring in the US. It’s also consistent with UK actions. Funny that huh?

You see, Q’Anon is a global death cult. Consistency in narrative is key.

There are no coincidences in this scenario. Like Trump, Kenney delayed public health action for as long as possible. At the same time, feeding red meat to his radicalized extremist support base made up of Dominionists and hard core libertarians who many also happen to be Q’Anon.
In the US, it’s resulted in plots to kidnap and murder governors who impose public health mandates. In the UK a new health data contract with Palantir.

Kenney is following a strategic plan to permanently undermine democracy.

Why do you think CPC covets power so desperately?
