Who, exactly, are these immigrants that have made Danielle Smith so angry and hateful? Is it the Filipino nurses who are the backbone of our healthcare system? The American computer scientists who have made Edmonton an AI centre of excellence? The Ukrainian refugees who have opened new restaurants? The French-speaking new arrivals from west Africa who have rejuvenated our francophone communities? What is the source of this ugly xenophobia? https://www.rmoutlook.com/alberta-news/alberta-next-survey-asks-if-province-should-withhold-social-services-for-immigrants-10857952

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

Thom Hartmann :
"..Umberto Eco, who had a ringside seat to the rise of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in the 1920s, noted in his “14 indicators of fascism” that dumbing down the populace by lowering educational standards was critical to producing a compliant populace a fascist leader could easily manipulate.
“All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks,” he wrote, “made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”
