I was also thrown on my face, cuffed and told that I was being charged with mischief at the Freedom Convoy. I was released several hours later. It could also have been me, a 63 year old grandmother at the time. My crimeâŚ.holding a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and calling out âI canât breatheâ when I was being crushed as the police surged the protesters and I was caught in the middle.
There is a reason there are no $$$ in the strike fund to cover teachersâ struggling with bill payments. Come on teachers, wake up you are being played as political pawns.
Mainstream media no longer meets the standard with truth in reporting. People literally have to discount the reporting of MSM media outlets and realize we are being lied to. We need to ask ourselvesâŚWHY?
Such a silly comment. Provincial changes were not the issue, it was the postal strike and the fact that people did not get their voter cards in advance. My gosh the left-leaners are desperate to declare war on the UCP.
Sure, letâs keep paying the federal government to provide the RCMP service and have them continue to short us 20% of the officers, because that makes total sense. Perhaps you need to know exactly what it is you are complaining about before making a post.
So you all know that if they allow consent for transitioning surgeries by young children, the next will be the fight to allow kids to end their lives with MAID. Wait for it.
Very concerning to hear Admin admit this morning, that these main water lines have NEVER been checked in the last 10 years. Yet mere weeks ago, they were lamenting that infrastructure was sound enough to handle massive up-zoning.
What did Trudeau say about Omar Khadirâs treatment in prison? âA Canadian is a Canadianâ and we donât allow them to be treated this way. 10 million dollars.
Wonder what Pat will eventually be entitled to?
Your post is very reminiscent of what I experienced firsthand at the Freedom ConvoyâŚ.prayer, music, unity and love. We really do need to continue to have such beautiful, life altering events irregardless of the agenda that the government attempts to push on us.
Thank you to @Seanfeaucht for opening the eyes of Canadians to the over-reach of the current government.
Stop the propaganda pushing @calgaryherald. The Notwithstanding Clause was used by the UCP to benefit the students and taxpayers. The teachers were offered a fair deal, particularly at a time when taxpayers are struggling to buy groceries.
Thanks @ABDanielleSmith for promoting Alberta and Canada when the federal government is busy using theatre to create division between provinces and Canada/USA. Instead, why donât they just secure the border and avoid the tariffs? @JustinTrudeau@theJagmeetSingh@PierrePollievre
Funny how no one ever talks about 0% raises from the Notley government, we only hear screeching when the UCP doesnât give them 30%. Teachers are being played as pawns in a dirty political game.
Even the most ignorant must realize that a government that can come in and cull an entire herd of livestock just because they can, should concern even them.
Americans buy health insurance which would likely cost a whole lot less than our 50% tax rate does, plus they get medical care in mere days vs our monthâs/yearâs long wait.
We are sold a whole lot of propaganda when it comes to the Canadian healthcare system. It is the most costly with the worse outcomes. Make it make sense.
Dr. Trozzi you are a true hero in a very troubled world. Hopefully some of the doctors who have been coerced into staying silent will begin to speak out. They must ultimately follow their conscience, and not the coercion and propaganda forced upon them.
We followed the convoy from Calgary, so followed Pat King. We can attest to the fact that Pat King at all times instructed us to follow the rule of law & cooperate with police no matter what. It is a travesty to see this done to someone who was literally peacefully protesting.
Calgary Council is yet again out of their lane. They need to stick to the business of fixing roads and water lines.
I would advise that they start tweaking their resumes.
BRAVO @ABDanielleSmith ensuring that we have a good working relationship with our biggest trading partner is paramount! You are the model that the rest of Canada MUST follow so that we are not experiencing higher than necessary prices on the goods we need and use!
If you actually listened to Veterans, they prefer to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of their brothers in arms and not put one nationality on a pedestal. But you likely know better right dear?
I can attest to your account of the Convoy as we also proudly participated. It was an amazing moment in history, and the peaceful nature cannot be overstated. It was one of the proudest moments in my life.
It is amazing that Canadians could be on board with spending millions on Government lawyers to try and have a âMischiefâ charge stick. Could this money not be put to better use elsewhere?
Why is Calgary Council/Administration signing us up for climate change NGOs that absolutely no one voted for when we need infrastructure? The new Party system is great, as at least you can clearly see what type of leaning your potential candidate may have.

Kids are perfect the way they are without the need for destructive hormones and surgeries and should be told this by those closest to them. Why do you continue to exploit this agenda @JanisIrwin? Are you a friend of big pharmaâŚthese children will be customers for life.
No way of knowing, he and the rest of his party, have been on vacation since being elected. It appears that they think being illusive will be the way to outmaneuver bad man orange and fight this existential crisis. Elbows up folks!
My hubby & I (seniors) travelled to Ottawa as we didnât think Gov should over-reach on our bodily autonomy. We were there the entire time & can attest to the peaceful nature of the convoy. I got to feel the overreach firsthand on the 17th as I was cuffed & held in line for hrs
@pootmans @JoyotiGondek Shameful divisive tactic being utilized by the Calgary Mayor and some Council members. You may think it is subtle, however it is extremely obvious. It seems to be a regular occurrence with so many different issues these days. Recall may be the answer.
The ndp and their union bosses are losing credibility and sympathy for their cause with these kinds of measures. You insult the intelligence of Albertans.
Good heavens. I had mumps, measles and chickenpox over 50 years ago. Long term effects of these diseases: lifetime immunity. Seems coincidental that these childhood diseases became dangerous right around the same time vaccines were developed.
A good source of info on the safety testing of the childhood vaccines is âTurtles All the Way Down, Vaccine Science and Mythâ.
We participated in the Freedom Convoy, and when we arrived in Ottawa with a pickup truck, the Police did indeed direct us to the spot where they wanted usâŚ..right in the middle of a residential area. Definitely would not have been my first pick.
Of course he didnât read the fine print. He just does what his boss JT tells him to do. How do we end up with politicians in Canada that care about only themselves? Are Canadians okay with this?
The Teachers/ATA cannot be allowed to continue to hold the children hostage as they attempt to strong arm the Government. Not acceptable in the least. I am surprised that the teachers are allowing themselves to be used as pawns in this political pushback from the left-leaning NDP unions.
We, in Alberta, are fortunate to have the calm voice of reason of @ABDanielleSmith. Rather than throwing a tantrum like the PM, she is demonstrating true leadership in the matter of US trade. BRAVO!
The Premier needs to take a bold step and pass Right to Work legislation that allows members the right to opt out of union membership. Surely the unions will wholeheartedly support this as they are all about ârightsâ these days.
I would urge every parent, particularly new parents, to read the book âTurtles All the Way Down, Vaccine Science and Mythâ so that people can actually make INFORMED decisions on vaccines for their children. It is extremely revealing to discover how vaccines are âtestedâ.
Yet the PM was able spew hate speech regarding the unv*ccinated with NO consequence whatsoever! This is a blatant attempt to divide and eventually conquer the people of this country.
Have a daughter that works in health care. She has not spoken to me in almost 4 years because I didnât buy into the propaganda. I have not been sick the entire time. So sad for these people, they have chosen to miss out on life because they believed the government propaganda.
This is a story? Carney takes a seat in parliament without a single vote, holds billions in a tax haven, has numerous conflicts of interest, moves his business to the US, removes US tariffs secretly weeks before the election, and this is considered a âstoryâ?
The reasoning behind this cull needs to be exposed. If the birds have immunity why is this happening? Something extremely nefarious is occurring in our country.
I remember the Supreme Court hearing a case where a woman didnât want to hold the handrail on an escalator and was fined. Now here we are with a freedom of speech challenge, and they donât want to hear it!!! Wake up Canada. Read George Orwellâs 1984!
So the unions that donât give their members the ârightâ to opt out of memberships are giving lessons on ârightsâ these days? HmmmâŚmake it make sense.
Whatever happened to the days when children had childhood diseases and people were not fed fear porn. As RFK has said, childhood diseases were never considered dangerous until big pharma came up with a vaccine.
If Canada was willing to secure its borders, this wouldnât be an issue. One needs to ask why Canada is so reluctant to secure its Canada/US border. Make it make sense.
Minister Dmietrios has done a great job of ensuring that the students, parents and taxpayers needs have been met. Although they do not seem content, teachers received a fair package, and have absolutely nothing to complain about. If they canât reconcile the package that has been offered, perhaps they need to find work elsewhere.
FINALLY! Thank goodness someone is thinking of the students, parents and taxpayers and has the leadership skills to ensure their best interests are first and foremost! Thank you @ABDanielleSmith
I was in attendance at that Town Hall. The rules of engagement were clearly stated at the beginning of the Town Hall. Stay on topic, be respectful or your mic will be cut. He did neither. This needs to be clarified,
What has happened to the critical thinking skills of parents/teachers/doctors? How is waiting to make a life altering decision a negative thing. Someone please explain?
So cash strapped that they all managed to get a substantial pay raise, then had the audacity to spend 5 million on a new City slogan when none was needed.
More income could mean better salaries for teachers! Oh but wait, itâs not about money right?
How you teachers are allowing yourselves to be played by the NDP unions is shocking!
Just a little concerned about his relationship with the World Economic Forum (although apparently it is a conspiracy that the WEF exists). Irregardless Nenshi won their 2011 Young Global Leaderâs Award. Whose interests will he be promoting?
cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/nâŚ
If teachers want to dictate policy, they need to run for government office. Otherwise they need to stay in their lane and do their jobs.
As a taxpayer, I have had enough of watching unions and their minions (the teachers) trying to dictate government policy at the expense of the students.
I had measles, mumps, and chickenpox over 50 years ago. The long term effects: lifetime immunity. It is way past time that the fear mongering stop.
Parents need to read the book âTurtles All the Way Down, Vaccine Science and Mythâ so that they may make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with vaccination when there seems to be safety questions that havenât been answered.
Gondek was more than happy to step in and take over where Nenshi left off. She does not get a break on this. This recent âwater issueâ too eerily aligns with the globalist narrative of world-wide water shortages and taxation of water.
The Liberals cannot go anywhere anymore without being protested. Iâve been around for a long time, and I truly donât remember this amount of distaste for a government. It is time for an election.
Those that can afford to pay for it will, which opens up more spots in the queue for those that canât.
With the use of a little critical thinking you can let go of your hatred of the UCP government.
Honestly the respect for teachers dwindled when the studentsâ right to education fell well below the unionsâ push for teachers to walk out even when so many felt they were offered a fair settlement. They ultimately chose the political union push over the students. Caring teachers would not have done that.
Both border blockades were removed prior to the invocation of the EA. Lawyer for the Truckers, Keith Wilson, publicly stated that an agreement was made with the City and Truckers to have the trucks moved peacefully, but instead PM invoked the EA. Why not meet with the Truckers?
@DuaneBratt perhaps your reporting should focus on the corruption and treason occurring within your own Country rather than attempting to deflect to foreign nations.
Why would she do that when the majority of Albertans would prefer to receive more benefits or pay less in premiums (or a combination of both)? Does the @NDP really have the best interests of Albertans at heart?
Religious institutions have been running the hospitals in Alberta for decades with no issue. General Hospital, Grey Nuns, Misercordia, Banff, Bonnyville, Camrose, Vegreville and others have all been run by Covenant Health for many, many years.
Coincidentally measles began to be considered dangerous at the same time as a vaccine was developed. ($$$)
Why are left-leaners so keen to find a magic potion for every disease? I had measles as a kid and ended up with lifetime immunity.
So why is @cityofcalgary doing another survey (just like the public hearings) just to go ahead with their woke ideology irregardless of what Calgarians have to say. City council & admin have proven themselves completely untrustworthy to follow the direction Calgarians want.
Give you head a little shake-shake! So how exactly do you left-leaners think she is going to pay for all of the perks the ndp and unions have demanded, other than our oil and gas industries. For Peteâs sake, dust off the part of your brain that doesnât get used very oftenâŚ.critical thinking.
