Native Calgarian

My breakdown of the federal election, upcoming Orange Shirt Day, Sisters in Spirit Vigils, and my contempt for #COVID19AB crisis.

Today I speak with Humaira Falak, candidate for City of Calgary ward 5 & 10 School Trustee.

I attempt to lay out how the rise of Christian Nationalism is directly contributing to a rise of fascism with these anti-mask/anti-vax folkx protesting including the Calgary Police and Fire now being part of the problem, hurting our democracy. Why I continue to be a Liberal. Lots of links too:
