Hi.
Antifa is not a real organization.
Proud Boys are.
Oath Keepers are.
Patriot Front is.
KKK is.
Heritage Foundation is.
Antifa is not.
Thanks for listening.

If you haven't voted in the municipal election yet, read this first. The UCP injected party politics and big money into these elections to appease Take Back Alberta. No one wanted it. Danielle Smith herself said she was against party politics in municipal elections. albertaviews.ca/parties-over...
Municipal Parties Over People - Alberta Views
Danielle Smith was being lobbied to legislate municipal parties. Third-party advertiser Take Back Alberta (TBA) was in fact behind the push.

@mark-carney.bsky.social you might want to take note of this. One of your nation building plans could be supporting research across Canada rather than another oil pipeline that contributes further to climate change.
