best of 2019: Alberta forbidden words

UCP provincial government orders public schools to remove the word "public" from their names. Education minister: Adriana LaGrange, Aug15 by ministerial order. 

Lagrange is the Kenney leadership Red Deer pro-life stacker (special guest: hapner). See also Jason Kenney's 2016 interview with Ezra Levant.

Lagrange only was "simplifying naming conventions," along the lines of other "simple" things like UCP firing Elections Commissioner (Bill 22, "only merging" with Elections Alberta).

NAUGHTY AND NICE

In January, Sheila Gunn Reid's camera (?) was 'punched in the face'. She did not, as far as I  know, issue a clarification, unless that happened in court. 'You just hit me in the face.'

June: It did not happen in court. TskTsk, bearing false witness. Five million protesters worldwide at a Saturday Jan. 21 Women's March and there's was one incident and it happened to be an Alberta provocateur, her 'bodyguard,' a shady fake news outlet, one luthier, then a network of neoWeimar retweeters. Bounty hunting and death threats ensued.

The link on that tweet http://bit.ly/2jjtgTr goes here: http://podblanc.guru/index.html. The account itself @STOPSYTGENOCIDE was gone shortly thereafter (neo-Nazi Paul Craig Cobb? Location, North Dakota). The account was harassing one @stonekettle.

It would appear that de-escalation efforts are what happened, when organizers ushered Mr Bews away and no face was punched. The spouse of Canada's former PM, Laureen Harper, didn't see it that way and lobbed a big cocktail into SGR's molotov mob fire.

Neo-nazi Richard Spencer however did get punched in the face the day before the Women's March. Journalist Ben Jacobs also got punched in the face by a Republican candidate while reporting on the Montana congressional election in May.

bluenose boondoggle

Design date, 1937. (Wikipedia)

Conservatives are a crappy gift that keeps giving. The Bluenose II project is 'now five years behind schedule and $12.5 million over budget.' It gets worse. The contract signed in 2009 by MHPM carried no fines or penalties for delays. Cheques just flowed.

Yes, federal infrastructure stimulus.

In summer 2016, MHPM changed its name to Colliers Project Leaders (CPL). Former PMSH joined Colliers board of directors in September. Franklin Holtforster is still president. Stephen Vaslet is still vice-president in Halifax.

They were pals. Accused killer Col. Russell Williams and notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo, both attended the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. They both studied economics at the Military Trail campus in the mid-80s. They both graduated together in 1987, Williams, 46, with a politics and economics degree, Bernardo, 45, with a commerce and economics degree. Their families both lived along the Scarborough bluffs. Now police sources say the two were college “pals” who may have partied together and that their relationship is the subject of intensive scrutiny by the joint forces team probing the murders of Cpl. MarieFrance Comeau and Jessica Lloyd. source

wikipedia: On July 15, 2009, Williams was sworn in as the Wing Commander at Canadian Forces Base Trenton by the outgoing Wing Commander Brigadier General Mike Hood. [30] ... He had flown Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, the Governor General of Canada, the Prime Minister of Canada, and many other dignitaries across Canada and overseas in Canadian Forces VIP aircraft.

Bernardo, Homolka (Leanne Bordelais, Karla Leanne Teale), Williams, Magnotta were from Metroplitan Toronto/GTA, Scarborough.

shrinks: Thick file (Dec 9, 2014) from late nineties includes a schizophrenia diagnosis: "As a condition for release to Canada, German officials demanded a psychiatrist accompany Luka Magnotta on the June 2012 flight. Dr. Joel Watts, after receiving a request from the Montreal police, took on that role... Watts was but one in a long line of doctors who treated or assessed Magnotta — though he was the only one to meet with the killer in both capacities.... The defence also hired Dr. Marie-Frédérique Allard to assess the defendant’s responsibility in the killing. While both doctors individually spend dozens of hours with Magnotta, he refused to meet with any Crown-retained psychiatrists." Forsenic psychiatrist, Dr. John Bradford, didn't work on the case because of [Bernardo, Homolka, Pickton et al.] PTSD, which he previously didn't believe was a condition (weird, he's a shrink).

WARNING GRAPHIC 

As lucrative as the stripper, escort and gay porn business may be, how did Magnotta get money and passports to travel, from Toronto, to New York, Florida, London, Montreal, to Dr Joel Paris, France and Berlin. In 2007, Magnotta said online rumours about him dating Karla Homolka affected his career, which was "going downhill these days, to be honest with you." He was marked (Joe Warmington interview Toronto Sun, 2007) in Toronto, marked (New York kitten videos, 2011, Magnotta said: client "Manny" Manuel Lopez made him do it and that he didn't know how the videos got online, "Rebecca" owned the python) and marked (Alex West interview, Sun, hotel by Wembly, Dec 2011) in London.

Jenni Byrne dated Ottawa MP Pierre Poillievre (CON: Nepean-Carleton) ("the (other) woman behind Harper"). On May 29, 2012, a foul-smelling package was brought to her by an assistant.

spybots & fire sales

The Canadian government is selling embassies, e.g., Paris 35/37 avenue Montaigne, 5 rue de Constantine (UNESCO). It sold One Grosvenor Square last month, where John Baird vacationed with six friends Christmas 2012.

Macdonald House

These do not include Canadian embassies that now are shared with UK embassies or the Buffalo N.Y. consulate that first was renovated ($1.5m) and had a 10-year lease.

In other news, Canada set up spy posts for the National Security Agency/ Central Security Service (NSA/CSS), the 'main producer and manager of signals intelligence (SIGINT)' for the United States of America; PM Harper allowed Six Eyes foreignersNSA to spy at a billion dollar G20 summit in Toronto, 2010. And what about that Muskoka and infrastructure fund to reduce border congestion.

In other fire sale news: selling a Crown corporation (AECL) for $12.3 million to SNC-Lavalin, without a value-for-money audit.

The Wildrose Party was suspected by some of involvement in the call but its origin was never confirmed. Meier’s company has worked for Wildrose as well as the federal Conservatives.

“There was an internal miscommunication on the matter, and the calls should have been identified as coming from the Conservative Party,” said DeLorey.

After the Citizen made inquiries of Meier, the outgoing messages on the two numbers were replaced by out-of-service messages.

Jenni Byrne (born 1977) is the director of political operations for the Conservative Party of Canada and a former director of issues management at the Prime Minister's Office.

hapner: lawheed's tru patriot act

welp. on the plus side peter lougheed walked away from karlheinz. hey, look, it's peter kent. sure was a lot of talk about the big conservative family.

peter lougheed (1928-2012)

besides stampedin', hapner rode in for frank glenfield's funeral last year. {hapner "entered the University of Calgary, which is right . . . of the Ayatollah Khomeini, as you probably know, and he became very much under that influence."}

in my mynde, 'patriot' is an american word. here's lougheed at the banff springs hotel as co-chair:

On September 12 to 14, 2006, business and government representatives from the three North American countries met in secret, with no media coverage, at the Banff Springs Hotel and convened the North American Forum. Judicial Watch, a U.S. public watchdog group got declassified government documents through a Freedom of Information Act request and made the documents available on their website. These documents reveal the discussions and membership in the secret meetings. The Canadian co-chair of the meeting was former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, and Canadian participants included Day, D’Aquino (also a member of the NACC), all NACC corporate representatives, and John Manley. In the released documents, under the forum discussion on “Border Infrastructure and Continental Prosperity,” chaired by John Manley, a startling quote was revealed: “While a vision is appealing, working on the infrastructure might yield more benefit and bring more people on board (‘evolution by stealth’).” What exactly are they evolving by stealth? Oh right, our country. source

so, yeah, a true patriot act. next question: there was such a backlash about state-owned petro canada, yet selling nexen [china national offshore cnooc's $15b (cash) organ trafficking money laundering deal], and alderon stuff is okay, and bombardier private jet sales are booming, so is huawei telecomm. hapner still hates cuba: it's communist! funny how the days go. gotta wonder, whatever was going on with danny williams and the impoverished national hockey league (strike!).

as the afghanistan mission closes, the first 4 soldiers killed in 2002 by U.S. pilots (Tarnak Farm incident: eight seriously wounded) and the last 2 by suicide. that is that.

stehpen hapner, um, itspose2 bee-a-bout ... 1867

That's when confederation happened. Not, like,1812.

Reminder: Canada Day. Hey, you must really like acid rain and stuff. Your pal, Rob Anders, is so upset about the dance troupe. I don't think the Chinese government likes those Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) people.

He has been a faithful supporter of mine and I am grateful for his work.") but psst he's a loser. Or buy the dude a friggin alarm clock.

Ai WeiWei, Franke James & political climates

“Who was the idiot who approved an art show by that woman, Franke James?”
Memorable words from one of Canada’s top officials on hearing that the Canadian Embassy in Croatia had offered support for Franke’s art show.

Ai WeiWei is a Chinese artist, who is now out of jail ("suspected economic crimes") and under house arrest, without his passport. He was offered a teaching position at Berlin University for the Arts, so even if he wants that assignment, at the moment he cannot leave the country.

http://forestgospel.blogspot.com/2011/02/ai-weiwei.html

Franke James is an artist, who had her funding for a trip to Croatia revoked by the Canadian government. Incidentally, the (drowning polar bear) guy is suspended and, who knows, maybe he is an hostage in a US debt ceiling agreement deal; Charles Monnett is under investigation about melting Arctic ice. Another taboo is the genomic analysis of sockeye salmon. Kristi Miller, a federal scientist, is not allowed to talk to anyone, as per the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans ("some even suggesting a government conspiracy to save itself some embarrassment should its trade practices prove to be spreading it") or, the geologist and the most controversial 13,000 year-old flood.

Franke James: The Canadian Government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party, is actively working to shut down my solo European art exhibition, which is set to tour 20 cities in Europe. The government’s interference includes phoning the corporate sponsor, and persuading them to cancel their $75,000 sponsorship.

HE'S NOT HERE. Grand Old Panada (GOP). God Bless Panada (GB, BP).

It's one thing to pick on a person for working in another country - a lot of oil people in Libya last month will probably tell you that they are Canadian - and quite another to never really be here. Stephen Harper's (the Conservative Party of Canada's or Council for National Policy's) "he didn't come back for you" jingle was one of the most despicable pieces of childlike fear bogus cr@p ads to hit the airwaves. Who cares if Ignatieff comes back, doesn't, never left, hides under your bed, says "boo!" and falls from a rafter. Um, we're adults now, Mr Harper Bogeyman. Every time I ask myself how low can ya go, it's wa-a-a-y lower, into the fetid mystic. Thanks, Conservatives! Republicans!

And what's next? I'm dying to see, abandoned to see, losing money to see, anthraxing to see, not getting knee surgery to see, beaten up by criminal punks to see, hanging around a silent killer and job axe red tape murderers to see, invaded by Tamil immigrants to see, scanned by 3-d airport scanners to see, drowning in oil to see. It's a crazy world and Stephen will set it right, a classic *big daddy* with a *big army* super-naive bluff. By the way, this kind of "stability" is a joke. This is the 4th election in 7 years!! Where's the Adscam in that! (psst. Paul Martin swallowed the poison pill, there was a Gomery Inquiry, it's over, but for the Government of Canada's contributions to Quebec industries, that's it.)

It's Faze Too of the blessed (/daɪ.əˈkrɪtɨk/) $26M Economic Caption Plan with a May2nd election, the day after Pope John Paul II becomes a new saint on May Day, an erstwhile Workers' Day, which is a good time to think about bail-outs, the economy and Alberta Health Services executive bonuses, 33 years after Pope John Paul I was allegedly whacked, and a few daze after the new royal weeding, even though the previous heir's was enough to last a wretched lifetime, how quaint.

Now, even when the Alberta Firewall and Calgary School embers are warm after 11 years, Harper yells about Quebec, again, and God help me, legitimacy - after ALL those bridges were constructed between Quebec and Alberta, politically-speaking, exactly on account of their willingness to be sovereign provinces (states, or countries, whichever). Harper espouses a problem, not new, it's the schtick, the problem, with the recent votes of non-confidence (Contempt of Parliament) including those of a separatist federal party, as if that's all the BLOC does, separate in perpetuity, not represent constituents who happen to be Canadians the last time I checked. Harper likes to raise that spectre. It's not even an issue these days, until Harper makes it one, recklessly bellowing whenever the parliamentary system works, even proroguing it or about it. But what can you say about a guy who calls his minority government both after himself and an "administration." Whatever gets you through the night. In the day, I wrote a letter to Premier Ralph Klein, so alarmed was I about the good old confederation going into the outhouse hole that I wrote an extra one beyond my MLA to the big cheese. And here we are.

An interesting read might be Wyoming Republicans. Warren A. Morton ran unsuccessfully for governor of Wyoming and had some business dealings with Dick Cheney, U.S. Congressman for Wyoming (January 3, 1979 – March 20, 1989). Ted Morton, his son, is running for premier of Alberta. Ted Morton, Stephen Harper, Tom Flanagan, Rainer Knopff, Andrew Crooks and Ken Boessenkool signed the Alberta separatist (firewall) letter.
