Steve Fonyo R.I.P

Will say this for him–he raised millions for cancer research and completed Terry Fox’s run. After that, a long slide downhill, though he apparently was happy at the end of his life according to his mate.

If you didn’t know, Kenney

is issuing a court challenge to the feds for the Emergency Act. He is clearly against law and social order and peace. (Ironically, after asking the feds for help in Coutts. Incidentally, he says “Alberta is challenging” when it’s just him, alone. No other Albertans are not challenging.)

He is also against the city of Ottawa and has zero sympathy for the pain and suffering of its people (to say nothing of the people in the Coutts area). Instead, he takes up and supports the convoy side even at a distance.

He is against any punishment for offenders in trucker convoys; he feels that no force or enforcement should be applied on them.

Rather, he thinks the convoys should be left alone to multiply, harass, vandalize, and rough up ordinary citizens. (He probably thinks that the acts against Ottawa citizens were minor unlawful acts or bylaw infractions, not terrorism offences.)

This frivolous challenge tells you everything you need to know about Kenney’s non-patriotism (he supports the GOP, his American allies and foreign financial supporters) and his total, unfettered lack of loyalty to Canada and his fellow Canadians.

He prefers chaos and continuous disruption and actually cares little about the Canadian economy and the survival of Canada’s democracy; during his autocratic reign, he has been, repeatedly, prepared to step in political cowpies and to cut off his nose to spite his face.

He is against the RCMP and their efforts to maintain law and order (as we saw in Coutts) and wants to set up his own private police force to wage war on any perceived personal enemies (a la Trump) much like the fascistic dogs Napoleon employs for corrupt ends in Animal Farm.                                                                                                                                     

And, as well, you sure as heck know he does not want any federal investigations into the financing behind convoys in Alberta. No, that would turn up too many bodies including many UCP donors and American connections to his government.

With this audacious, stupid move, he establishes, once and for all, his deep desire to be The Redneck Political Leader of Canada, worthy of re-election in Alberta and worthy of consideration to lead the federal PCs one day.

Edmonton police get it right big-time Saturday.

A huge presence handing out 209 tickets to 680 ‘convoy’ vehicles. Exerting real social control, protecting citizens and laying down the law. They are succeeding whereas Ottawa police failed miserably, originally 4 unnecessarily long weeks ago.

However, got to add that Interim police chief Bell has done a superior job in restoring Ottawa and clearing the downtown within 2 days(incredible!) with the ample support of the OPP and the RCMP, the latter which Kenney wants to phase out here.

He has also done a fantastic job at the media pressers clearly laying out in thoughtful, measured words what’s happening and why. Occasionally, he is thrown tough questions by the media and has given perfect by-the-letter lawful answers. Lovin’ it!

In a nice , totally unexpected twist, he does all that while throwing them a curve today and inviting them to make their complaints known to a body already set up to accept their complaints. Smart guy ahead of the ball who’s not going to be suckered into being manipulated by media. He also, astutely, let a French underling answer a French question he would have had trouble with answering personally. Lovin’ it x 2!

It would be an absolute disgrace if Ottawa does not quickly confirm him as the new police chief. A major no-brainer.

Ottawa–part 2–doh, real simple.

Which do most people in Canada prefer and choose?

Social order or the overthrow of the present government with government by the 10% dumb-ass truckers adhering to Trump, GOPs, gun-toters, and racists?

Nutso brainless American stuff about “freedom”, “freedom fighters”, and repression of the majority does not fly well or far in law-and-order democratic Canada.

Nice guy-need more of him and fewer trucker convoy types

Heard this morning on Global Edmonton.
Guy from Syria. Really wanted to come to Canada.
Hassled a lot on his way here; held up for a long time at an airport.
Started work as a coffee guy, but joined the Red Cross and went to work for them in remote Fort St. John.
Loves it there. Finally got to see the Northern Lights.
A family guy whose main goal in life is to be reunited with his family here in Canada, the country he appreciates.

This is the kind of person we need more of in Canada, not some asinine truck driver mouthing borrowed, mindless American platitudes about freedom, which they have no real understanding of, but which they want to impose on everyone in Canada.

We already know the answer several days

after the report was submitted to Kenney. Madu will be reinstated without a beat of moral conscience even though Kenney hasn’t announced anything to the public yet. A namby-pamby statement is still being cobbled together to insult the intelligence of the public. None of the issues will be addressed. Instead, Madu has been rewarded with his old job already (unannounced) and the corruption has been rubber-stamped and will continue business as usual.

If you don’t like the rules,

and feel your egotistical freedom is being significantly limited, then go out, fund-raise, and from a blockade, to limit the freedoms, safety, and survival of everyone else in the country.
