Calgary UCP constituency group to hold second COVID vaccine skepticism event

The Calgary-Lougheed Alberta United Conservative Party Constituency Association (CA) announced it will be holding An Injection of Truth Town Hall: Part Two on October 28 at 6 p.m. to challenge the consensus around COVID-19 vaccines.

While the CA will be sharing more details in the coming weeks, it said the town hall’s first speaker will be CORRELATION Research in the Public Interest Co-Director Dr. Denis Rancourt.

“Dr. Rancourt is a prestigious researcher with over 100 peer-reviewed-journal articles in technical areas of science and technology,” said the CA in a statement.

“He will be sharing his most recent work related to COVID-19 and the ongoing excess all-cause mortality crisis around the world and here in Alberta.”

It predicted the town hall will provide information all Albertans will benefit from learning about.

Tickets cost $39 for UCP members, $49 for non-members, and $169 for VIP tickets. If people are unable to attend in person, streaming passes cost $21.50 for members, $41.50 for non-members, and $51.50 for the viewing party.

It will be hosted by Alberta UCP MLA Eric Bouchard (Calgary-Lougheed) and CA President Darrell Komick.

Its themes will be Follow the Money and Fighting for the Healers.

Although Rancourt has been announced as the town hall’s first speaker, the CA said four more speakers will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The CA held the first Injection of Truth Town Hall in June.

“Each ticket below includes the admission price and transaction fee,” said the UCP.

“The Politics and Popcorn ticket includes admission into the Town Hall and the opportunity to mix and mingle with the guest speakers.”

On FB very well said…..

I had a conversation in person recently that pretty much sums up the Canadian political divide right now. Not the cartoon version from the news... the quiet, everyday one we've all had with friends, or family.

It started predictably of course. The usual labels tossed out like confetti (xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, Maple Maga). Because apparently if you question a policy, you must secretly hate the group it’s supposed to help.

And this little exchange laid it out for me.

For a lot of modern liberals, politics seems to be less about what actually happens and more about looking compassionate. Slap the right moral sticker on a policy "help the marginalized! Expand programs! Signal virtue!" and you're golden.

Ask whether it works in practice? Ahhh... suddenly you’re the bad guy with a heart of stone.

Their world is simple... you’re either “for people” or “against people.” Intentions are everything and results are optional.

In that framework, a policy ...

Carney got his hands on the CPP somehow !

The Canada Pension Plan Investments Board (CPPIB) and Brookfield on Tuesday launched a $50 billion “Maple Fund” that they say will funnel capital towards critical infrastructure and strategic industries across Canada.

The announcement from the CPPIB, which manages the investments in the Canada Pension Plan, and investment management firm Brookfield was one of the main funding projects that came out from a recent two-day investment summit hosted by Carney and the premiers.

With the Canada Pension Plan playing a central role in many Canadians’ retirement planning, many may be wondering what this decision means for their retirements.

The Maple Fund will operate as an investing framework to provide funding for specific projects, and will include up to $25 billion each from the CPPIB and Brookfield over a five-year timespan.

The fund is focused on complex large-scale projects that each require significant upfront resources and development capabilities, and a ...
