Alberta, Canada - Provincial Election Tuesday, April 16, 2019

 

Stephen Mandel, former mayor of Edmonton, Alberta, is the new leader of The Alberta Party. The Alberta Party was basically unknown before this election, with just one (?) elected MLA in the legislature. (Corrections welcome. 2 more MLA's may have crossed the floor to join the party.)

 

Mandel’s Alberta Party’s campaign theme is children.

 

Alberta Party will make vaccinations mandatory for children attending publicly-funded schools

 

March 07, 2019 - Edmonton, AB - ​Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel promised an Alberta Party government will require children to have up-to-date immunizations in order to attend a publicly-funded school.

 

“This is a public health issue, plain and simple. Parents should be able to send their kids to school without fear they’ll contract serious illnesses such as measles, mumps, whooping cough and polio. Under an Alberta Party government, children will need to have up-to-date immunizations in order to attend a publicly-funded school. At a time when measles outbreaks are rising throughout the world, and even occurring in Canada, it’s more important than ever that our children and communities are protected. We send our kids to school to learn, not to get sick.”

Knowing what we now know about the link between vaccines & autism, Mandel strikes me as a very dangerous leader, hiding behind the old ruse "Think of the children." A biologist anon was posting research on autism this week. I can repost here if anyone is interested. Please let anons in Alberta know about this. And pray for Alberta.

Watch the Water

Stephen Mandel says Alberta Party will push to re-fluoridate Calgary water

Alberta Party leader Stephen Mandel announces his party's water fluoridation policy at Calgary's Glenmore water plant on Friday, March 22, 2019. AZIN GHAFFARI

 

Alberta Party leader Stephen Mandel announced Friday his party would encourage municipalities to fluoridate drinking water, which would strongly prod Calgary to revisit the issue after eight years without fluoride.

 

Ward 10 Coun. Ray Jones, one of only two councillors to vote on Feb. 26 against reconsidering the issue, said that provincial politicians should mind their own business.

 

“We don’t need the province getting involved in our own affairs. The province has enough to do without it.”

 

At Calgary’s Glenmore Water Plant, Mandel emphasized the policy would not be an order to municipalities, but a strong push to have them fluoridate, based on what he said was clear scientific evidence that fluoridation is a benefit to dental health.

 

Ward 9 Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra said that his position has always been that the issue is a provincial responsibility.

 

“They can encourage us until they’re blue in the face. . .[but] public health is their bag,” Carra said.

 

“We don’t have qualified health professionals on staff; we have water people on staff who don’t like working with toxic substances. They wouldn’t put chlorine in the water if they didn’t have to.

 

“If Alberta Health Services decides that fluoridation of water is the right thing to do, they should do it.”

 

“We’re not here to dictate to municipalities, we’re here to work with them,” Mandel said, adding that his experience as mayor of Edmonton showed him the importance of this.

 

“I don’t want to second-guess cities. I didn’t like people second-guessing me when I was [mayor].”

 

At the same time, he said that Edmonton, which has fluoridated its water since 1967, has substantially fewer cavities than Calgary, which has gone back-and-forth several times over the years.

 

“From what I’ve read, and I’m no expert, I’ve read probably 10 or 15 articles, there’s not a lot that goes into the water,” Mandel said.

 

In 2011, Calgary stopped fluoridating; in 2016, council voted against revisiting the debate.

 

On Feb. 26, however, city council voted 13-2 to reconsider the issue, based on an updated study that will be presented in June.

 

“You’ll never change my mind,” said Jones.

 

He said that his daughter, a dental assistant, was mad at him for being against fluoride, but that his opposition was because his late father and other senior citizens could not drink fluoridated water.

 

Carra said that ultimately, he did not ultimately consider fluoridation an important public health concern for provincial officials, including Mandel’s opponents.

 

“Maybe it has very, very little impact for very little cost, but there are other more important public health issues that we need to address.”

 

Mandel’s announcement was part of the Alberta Party’s campaign theme of children. He also announced his party would make an annual dental visit for children 12-and-under covered under Alberta Health Services.

Hmmm - Is it just a coincidence that Edmonton has had fluoridated water since the 1960's & it is an official sanctuary city, very liberal & nauseatingly politically correct? Do Calgarians need a little nudge in the brain washing department?

Alberta Provincial Election #3

 

Comments from Reddit discussion. Have not checked accuracy, although it is well know that Mandel was APPOINTED Health Minister for the Progressive Conservative (PC) government in its waning days.

 

-Mandel was a core elite PC member. Watch the money. This is an orchestrated takeover of the AB party that has been in the works for a long time. The PC backroom elite are all transferring.

 

-Watch the money.

 

Yep. Mandel is a core member of the Alberta Together PAC, founded & run by PC party members we purged from office in 2015.

 

PC 2.0: "The Alberta Party Leadership Race", brought to you by Alberta Together

 

The two-person party hopes to host a leadership convention in February, 2018, according to a strategic planning document obtained by The Globe and Mail.

 

The party, according to the road map outlined in the strategy document, is counting on Alberta Together for cash.

 

Alberta Together will solicit donors to collectively contribute at least $50,000 directly to the Alberta Party to defray the cost of running the leadership election, according to the party's strategy document.

"Drew Westwater, deputy chief electoral officer of Elections Alberta, said because they are neither third party advertisers, nor political parties, PACs aren't required to register in the province. "They can do whatever they like and spend and raise as much money as they like and they don't have to report anything," Westwater said."
