Police plan rejection not a surprise


By Letter to the Editor on June 3, 2021.

Editor:
What a surprise. Kaycee Madu “rejects” the LPS plan. Did anyone expect anything else?
This isn’t about his concern over the surveillance on Shannon Phillips. The War Room would have been willing to do it, too.
This is about using this as an excuse to try and force the UCP desire to create their own provincial police force onto Albertans.
This is to be their ticket in. We already know how they operate. Look at the 911 issue where they forced their idea to replace excellent local systems with their less efficient versions.
Look at the issue of coal mining. They claim that the old Coal Policy is “out of date” so must be replaced with wide open mining throughout the foothills and mountains.
Who cares if the water in the Oldman gets contaminated.
Who cares if it affects the health and well being of people, crops, and wildlife down stream.
As long as the mining companies are happy to pay a pittance of royalty, it’s OK. Never mind that they are off-shore companies. Never mind that they have been fined $60 million for contaminating waterways in B.C.
Liars tell lies. Politicians “fabricate” scenarios to support their visions. It doesn’t involve listening to the public opinions (they are all just partisan), or to experts, or to the evidence.
It is all about their vision of what they want. They started with removing environmental monitoring in the Oil Sands.
Then they removed wilderness protection of the Foothills. They decided our Provincial Park system should be privatized.
They are trying to impose their version of a school curriculum onto our children.
They are busy fighting with our doctors, nurses and other frontline workers.
For Jason Kenney, it is about using Alberta as a stepping stone to replace Justin Trudeau.
Unfortunately, they can do a lot of damage before we can throw them out of office.
Personally, I can’t believe anything that they say, especially when every MLA spouts the party line instead of representing their constituents.

Agreed! Again, there is Kenney UCP bungling/bumbling every single day. Now, it’s the “Boozy Sky Palace patio table.”
