Jason Park

My wit and wisdom come from experience and mistakes.

[Jason Park @TypicalJasonP]

Who do I talk to to get started on my May 22, 2022 #50th birthday gift to myself.
I want to know how to get a small park named after myself. Perhaps make it into a small dog park.

I call it the "Jason Park Bark Park"

Watch one of the most rewarding and obliterating take-downs of Poilievre I’ve seen. Libs, get MapleDealer into the House of Commons yesterday.

So Trump’s ambassador to Canada actively promoted an app built by a Michigan MAGA group called 10xVotes. That same app is now at the centre of one of the biggest privacy scandals in Canadian history.

The Centurion Project, Alberta’s separatist group, used it to scrape personal data on nearly 3 MILLION Albertan voters. Now Elections Alberta, the Privacy Commissioner, and the RCMP are all investigating.

Hoekstra says he “wasn’t aware” of the connection. But the guy running the Centurion Project said publicly, on a podcast, that 10xVotes has been advising him behind the scenes for over a year. Hoekstra personally knows the app’s founder.

So the US ambassador to Canada promoted a voter ID tool, that tool ended up in the hands of a group trying to break up Canada, and that group illegally obtained private data on millions of Canadians.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s confirmed by PressProgress, CBC, and Elections Alberta’s own investigation.
Foreign interference in Canadian democracy!!

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Danielle Smith is a separatist.

The UCP is a separatist party.

They are going to spend millions of public dollars to back the separatists and fight against the rights of Indigenous peoples.

WTAF???

The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) actually released a “fully costed” independence plan!

I read all 43 pages so you don’t have to**

It is one of the most dishonest, disastrous, and delusional documents in Canadian political history.

Let’s jump in…. 🧵

[Jason Park @TypicalJasonP]

@erik_thorvalds After review. I shake my head for replying to an obvious ai bot. I fell for the bait.

[Jason Park @TypicalJasonP]

@erik_thorvalds You say the same thing when the conservatives were in power not 2 decades ago? Are you that selfish? Everything about you screams selfish narcissistic petulant child. You imply that you speak for everyone. You really don't. Not ever. Not even close. The data doesn't lie. You do.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Political bombshell. The NDP has obtained video evidence showing that top UCPers attended a Centurion Project meeting in which the illegally-obtained voter database was the star attraction. The Premier and her party have lost all plausible deniability. They were complicit. #AbLeg

[Jane Honda 💙 @TwoLs60]

@gilmcgowan @belle_levesque It’s truly amazing that a province who has been governed by the Conservatives for 46 of the last 50 yrs, has the audacity to blame everyone but the Conservatives who have governed them for those 46 yrs.
The stupid is thick in Alberta.

[Jason Scott 🇨🇦 @JasonOnTheDrums]

2. The “Equalization Termination and Tax Collection Act” would see Alberta ILLEGALLY collect federal taxes

It would create an “Alberta Revenue Agency” and use laws to force banks, cities and private businesses to give federal taxes to UcP controlled coffers.

Scary

[Captain Canadian @furmsies]

AB separation = Pure economic self-harm.

Brexit tanked UK GDP 6-8%. ABs hit would be FAR worse.
No more seamless trade with Canada, new tariffs/paperwork, lost federal services, inherited debt, tiny bargaining power. Oil volatility + higher costs = poorer Albertans.

Asinine.

A friendly reminder Danielle Smith’s chief policy maker is Rob Anderson

Rob’s family OWNS private / charter schools called “Footprints for Learning” in Airdrie!

Rob’s mom and sister profit SUBSTANTIALLY from this

This is why this is happening

NO CONFLICT!

Alberta saw a MASSIVE $3,100,000,000 hit to O&G revenue

Meanwhile, Danielle Smith BLOCKED clean energy projects that would deliver:

💰 $33,000,000,000 in Investment
👷‍♂️ 24,000 Jobs
🔨 118 New Energy Projects

Good Leaders make good decisions; bad ones blame immigrants

The only thing missing is the tiki torches.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

And no, we're not tired of winning yet.

[Jason Park @TypicalJasonP]

Its the khakis, that seems so on point.

[OilScud @ScottBiggsify]

"But he was the president!" won't be an excuse for chumming up once he's finally brought to justice for all the horrific shit hiding behind those redactions.

Fuck each and every one of them and their "I'm just an athlete, you can't hold me to a standard!" shtick. Sorry.

[Jason Gregor @JasonGregor]

This line was very eye opening!

“In 1992, Alberta had approximately 11,700 hospital beds. Today, with nearly double the population and a much older demographic, we have roughly 8,800. This is not an Ottawa or immigration problem. It is a planning and capacity problem.”

Mark Carney just delivered Canada's version of Churchill's "we shall never surrender"

I'm so fuckin proud I helped elect this man. I knew he'd be a competent leader, but he's exceeded every expectation

He's the bulwark against the rising tide of fascism. Canada is ready! 🇨🇦

[Jason Park @TypicalJasonP]

@Emmanuel_Rach Do you believe that your 900 people should have more of a voice then the over 400 000 people that signed to stay? We both know that you would get over 900 overall but you will get way way lower then over 400 000. Do you think your lower numbers should mean more then others?

Alberta’s oil-and-gas boom was a unique 30-40 year moment in our history.

High incomes without any education were mistaken for a permanent, universal reality anyone could obtain.

This was the so-called “Alberta Advantage.”

It wasn’t

It was a bubble…and it burst…

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Excellent interview with economist who completely destroys the separatist argument that leaving Canada would be a good idea for Albertans. https://t.co/fPDOEbcaTO
