Have a good read - take it in. Ralph Kline, was the last conservative premier to finish a full term in office!
Seriously, what does this say about us?
Yes, yes, the leaders aren’t fulfilling our every wish, dream or whim. Yes, yes we have a right to be angry. But, what are we proving? Has this method of tossing our leaders to the curb worked so far? Are we any better off? What have we achieved?
I did not buy an AGM ticket to attend a circus. I bought a ticket to make my concerns known and to vote on policies, to speak directly with Smith and MLA’s.
There are some attending the AGM with only one thing in mind - ousting Danielle - which they have every right to do in a free world. I think we need to show up with open minds and prepared arguments, not grudges and vendettas.
We need to get our message through loud and clear - we do not accept an amended BoR. We will not accept the addition of a new clause that mirrors
Section 1 of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because we know that will make the Alberta BoR absolutely useless in a court of law. The BoR is THE singular most important issue we must fight for because without it we will once again be beholden to the whims of government decisions. We are free people UNDER GOD - not under the discrepancy of the law.
The rights and freedoms protected by the Charter fall into 7 categories:
• Fundamental freedoms.
• Democratic rights.
• Mobility rights.
• Legal rights.
• Equality rights.
• Official Language rights.
• Minority language educational rights.
ALL made null and void by judges due to their “interpretation” of Section 1.
The burning question is “what can we do”? I don’t think throwing out leader after leader is the solution. We must remember she is the premier of ALL Albertans and they get a say in what they want as well.
A bullet proof BoR is our protection.
Affordability, housing, healthcare, education & immigration are things we can work on and work with government on. We are not going to change the machine overnight. It takes time.
Danielle, is the first premier in a long time that has actually spoke the language we speak. She is up against, not just federal government, but governments of the western world. No one else is speaking out against transgender issues, freedom of bodily autonomy, the right to bear arms. The only other politician that has spoke out against the narrative has been dodging bullets.
We must remain vigilant but we must recognize we aren’t the only citizens of Alberta. Danielle has to govern people with different political affiliations. She can’t please everyone all the time. Would an NDP government care about any of our concerns? Absolutely not. They are a party of a singular one track mind - you MUST accept everything they believe or you will be cancelled. I don’t want a premier that will shut out a portion of the population that don’t agree with her. That’s makes us no better than the left.
Am I angry? Yes! Do I want things to move faster? Yes! Do I want what I want when I want it? Yes! But, I recognize that’s not realistic or how real life works. Patience is a virtue and perseverance is the key to success.
I hope everyone who attends the AGM goes with an open mind. You have a right to vote free from coercion and influence. Just don’t let anger and vengeance be your motivator.
