UCP opens door to removing parental rights over their children's health
Removing parental rights is the opposite of what the UCP campaigned on.

UCP is creating their own precedence for the Government of Alberta to make health decisions for children instead of parents. And that means they, or any other government, will enjoy the precedent they are setting to continue chipping away at what rights parents will be allowed to have in the future. That's the pesky little problem with rights; either we all have them, or none of us do. Find m..."

'governments are expressing optimism that a deal is within reach and could be announced in time for next weekend's United Conservative Party of Alberta convention. Alberta to draw up proposal for new oil pipeline to BC coast by May’

#Fucp
On the table to support it would be a limited exemption to the current ban on oil tankers on the B.C. coast, a plan to move ahead with changes to industrial carbon pricing in support of scaling up carbon capture technology, and a lowering or removal of the industrial emissions cap. Players in the federal and Alberta governments are expressing optimism that a deal is within reach and could be announced in time for next weekend's United Conservative Party of Alberta convention. Alberta to draw up proposal for new oil pipeline to B.C. coast by May The negotiations reflect a turnaround in relations between Alberta and Ottawa, which had soured under the Trudeau government's approach to energy and environmental policies. Since becoming Prime Minister, Mark Carney has taken a more collaborative approach, vowing to turn Canada into an energy superpower while still taking action on climate change. Energy projects have featured prominently in the list of infrastructure priorities that have been referred to the Major Projects Office, a central plank of Mr. Carney's strategy for asserting Canadian sov-ereignty.

Danielle Smith wants to take our rights and freedoms away. Help push back. Premier Danielle Smith wants to impose her ideology on everyday Albertans. Transgender people are just a convenient excuse, a convenient target and a convenient distraction. → She is legislating her political beliefs over the expertise of your family doctor and banning healthcare services some families need. Who do you trust more when it comes to your healthcare: a family physician or Premier Smith? → Under her policies, women and girls who play sports will be stripped of their privacy and shamed through government-mandated sex checks. → She's creating school climates that are hostile to vulnerable young people. Do you want the next generation of LGBT students to grow up unsafe, taught to hate themselves and forced to hide who they are? → She's removing checks and balances on government power by overriding your charter-protected rights. She's making it more normal for governments to undermine the freedom and rights of their citizens. In Alberta, we believe in freedom - for everyone. We believe in supporting our neighbours and their families. We don't want government overreach. We want governments that respect our rights and freedoms. Instead of uniting Albertans, Premier Smith is dividing us, and she's using the notwithstanding clause to override the rights and freedoms of transgender people in our province. We can't let her get away with it. Will you stand for freedom?

After 2007, when the Kremlin engineered the reunification of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) with the Moscow Patriarchate, Moscow quietly expanded its reach deep into Orthodox parishes across the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and Australia. ROCOR communities that had spent decades defining themselves by their independence from Soviet control suddenly found themselves under the authority of a Patriarchate led by KGB collaborators. What looked like a theological reconciliation was, in practice, the construction of a new influence pipeline — that would shape religious networks, cultural alliances, and political sympathies in the decade leading up to the 2016 election. https://open.substack.com/pub/olgalautman/p/chapter-2-russias-orthodox-church?selection=cca9bb78-7624-4a3f-b3e3-8f5c7f8cbe59&r=bteh&utm_medium=ios

‘The Canadian delegation… signed on to a UNESCO declaration on information integrity on climate change, but has not yet pledged its share of new climate financing that will be "necessary to unlock progress across negotiating tracks," Climate Action Network Canada said in a mid-COP media release.’
SCREENSHOT OF ENERGYMIX Climate news that makes a difference Canadian COP-Out So far, Canada has made only a limited contribution to negotiations in Belem-and members of the international community are taking notice. The Canadian delegation, led by Environment and Climate Minister Julie Dabrusin and Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault, has defended the role of science and the expertise of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and signed on to a UNESCO declaration on information integrity on climate change, but has not yet pledged its share of new climate financing that will be "necessary to unlock progress across negotiating tracks," Climate Action Network Canada said in a mid-COP media release. "The best that can be said of Canada's presence at COP so far is that it's not as actively harmful as Prime Minister Carney's major projects agenda back home," said CAN-Rac Executive Director Caroline Brouillette. "But we need better."

Screenshot of partial quote from the conclusion, The Verdict So what did the Manning Project Deliver? It delivered exactly what it was designed to: the government paying two million dollars to turn a fantasy pandemic inquiry into official policy. A taxpayer-funded project to make the base feel vindicated and the government feel blameless. It told a grieving province that the real mistake wasn’t that people died — it’s that government trusted doctors instead of Facebook experts. And for what? Not one single meaningful change. That’s what happens when outrage takes the wheel. The grown-ups leave the room, the conspiracy theorists start writing the rules, and the rest of us are trapped inside their nightmare.

“…to include #KsiLisims liquefied natural gas on the major projects list is part of a growing and alarming trend seen in #BillC-5 and B.C.’s #Bill15 to forfeit #IndigenousConsent and environmental accountability under the guise of reshaping Canada’s economy,” a news release from the chiefs says."
‘The focus is the 7 generations coming after me’, says Hereditary chief on Gitanyow blockade in B.C. Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs whose territory is impacted by the announcement were swift to condemn Carney’s inclusion of the Ksi Lisims project. “…to include Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas on the major projects list is part of a growing and alarming trend seen in Bill C-5 and B.C.’s Bill 15 to forfeit Indigenous consent and environmental accountability under the guise of reshaping Canada’s economy,” a news release from the chiefs says. The Ksi Lisims LNG floating LNG facility and marine terminal would be located next to the mouth of the Nass River where salmon migrate on their way to Gitanyow territory in the mid-Nass, according to the release. Juvenile Chinook salmon that Gitanyow depend on for their fisheries have been found at the proposed project site. “This LNG project brings to our Lax’yip salmon habitat destruction and concerns that its impact will be the death knell for at-risk Chinook salmon, which has been declining for more than a decade,” says one of the hereditary chiefs, Simogyet Watakhayetsxw/Deborah Good. “We’ve had to go to court to fight for our way of life and especially the continuing health of our salmon stocks. Our lands and rights to salmon are unceded, and this means consent and consultation are required. Other leaders speaking for the Gitanyow vow to continue fighting, in spite of Carney’s announcement. “It’s hard to believe that the federal government is subsidizing and offering further support for climate-destroying LNG projects in the midst of a climate crisis, says Tara Marsden, Sustainability Director. “LNG projects are environmentally and financially risky choices. Without the substantial government subsidies they receive, they likely wouldn’t be viable. Those subsidies would be better spent supporting a sustainable economy grounded in renewable energy and responsible resource development, like we practice on our territory. Gita…

COP30 will end on November 21/25 attacks will not occur before then.
China, at #COP30, should discuss sending a few of their ships (now) to the South American Coast, the Fujian parked in Venezuelan waters might give the US reason for pause.
AI generated list of governments that have a Navy comparable to the USA. • China has the world's largest navy by number of ships but not by total aggregate tonnage. Its newest and most advanced carrier, the Fujian, has a displacement of over 80,000 tons and features an electromagnetic launch system similar to US carriers, making it the closest in terms of size to the US supercarriers. Its other two carriers, the Shandong and Liaoning, are smaller (around 70,000 and 60,000 tons respectively) and use less advanced ski-jump systems. • The United Kingdom operates two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, which displace about 80,600 tons. These are the largest warships ever built for the Royal Navy and are highly capable, though they are conventionally powered and slightly smaller than the US supercarriers. • France operates the Charles de Gaulle, its only aircraft carrier and the only nuclear-powered carrier outside the US Navy. It is much smaller, displacing 42,000 tons. France is developing a new, larger carrier (PANG) with a planned displacement of 80,000 tons. • India has two operational aircraft carriers, the INS Vikramaditya and the indigenously built INS Vikrant, displacing 44,500 and 40,000 tons respectively. • • Japan, Australia, Spain, and Italy operate large amphibious assault ships (often categorized as helicopter carriers or landing helicopter docks) that displace between 26,000 and 45,000 tons. ®

Screenshot of Guardian article: ‘Politicians actually taking action’: six world mayors defying climate-sceptic populist leaders From Sierra Leone to Milan, cities are introducing their own rules and innovations in the face of rising temperatures Daniel Boffey in Rio de Janeiro It amazes Giuseppe Sala, a member of the Italian Green party and the mayor of Milan for nearly 10 years, how little he sees of Giorgia Meloni, the far-right prime minister of Italy. She has been to the city perhaps three times in as many years, he says. She has, however, expressed her concerns about the "ideological" nature of the European Green Deal plan to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. One of the projects Sala thinks the rest of Italy could learn from is a campaign called "I don't waste", which involves primary school pupils being given a reusable bag to take home any uneaten food from school lunches. City hall calculations suggest it saves approximately 10,000 sandwiches, 9,000 pieces of fruit and 1,000 desserts from being wasted every month.
