@CalgaryOccupy Like Ford in Ontario and possible worse Smith in Alberta - what is the actual mechanism to stop these totally anti-democratic processes? Both have years left to convert totally over as MAGAs of the North and they are well on their way.
@sandi89701936 @CalgaryOccupy There is a way to keep this govtfrom overstepping it’s boundaries. Protest everyday in large enough numbers that they have no choice but to reconsider their decisions for the rest of their term. UCP has managed to gain the power of the majority with a minority of support.
@sandi89701936 @CalgaryOccupy But it’s also an incredible amount of work and a three year commitment in Alberta. Few are prepared to do what convoy participants are doing to keep UCP on the straight and narrow. There is also peaceful civil disobedience. Like the disobedience used to protest racism.
@sunnshiiny @CalgaryOccupy It's the same in Ontario. Ford is under RCMP investigation (not sure where that is) but it doesn't matter to him as he has a majority and he can't even be shamed.
