Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Hey guys, so the initial Mandate Deficit Index (MDI) scores are in: Notley’s NDP: 61% Smith’s UCP: 152% Note that at 100%, the weight of the hidden legislative agenda exceeds the mandated agenda. (yikes, eh?) #ableg #cdnpoli

lol here’s me waiting for the UCP when my buddy points me to the wayback machine and lo and behold. I printed out each item in the platform and each bill passed since, now attempting to connect them with tacks and bits of string. Wish me luck! #ableg #cdnpoli web.archive.org/web/20230528...

where: P_j: An unmandated tier 3 or 4 procedural bypass instance ⁠j⁠ (closure/time allocation, OIC) W_proc,j: weight factor(8x⁠). N_total: # of bills E_total: # of major executive action units (EAUs) m: # of bypass instances

And then I guess it spits out some numbers and some kinda thingamajig on the internet (turns out my buddy’s nephew is a software guy and he says it will be “open source on Git Hub(?) rsn” whatever that means lol). Anyway, you kids have fun, I’m going to bed.

So I can factor in parliamentary shenanigans and bypasses (closure, time allocation, unmandated orders and decrees etc) for a Composite MDI and write it up if nobody else wants to. Maybe my kid can make a graph or something. Srsly tho, don’t we have people for this?

Well don’t all raise your hands at once. Ok here’s a Mandate Deficit Index for parliamentary procedure shenanigans (added to mdi-sub for mdi-comp) MDI_proc = [ SUM(P_j * W_proc,j) / ( N_total + E_total ) ] * 100

Our system of governance derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. When public servants use propaganda to manipulate the people they are supposed to serve in order to MANUFACTURE that consent, our SERVANTS soon become our MASTERS. Your tax dollars paid for this ad.

absolutely demented. like a scene from a horror movie

Huh. I could only connect 6 out of 68 bills as being disclosed and publicly debated prior to the election. That means 91%, including firing mayors, private-pay healthcare, and rewriting referendum laws to fast-track separation, was completely hidden from voters. Might be a record! #ableg #cdnpoli

yeah ok so we’re seeing some NDP blips in the tier 2 [major policy] and tier 3 [systemic overhaul] ranges…carbon tax…farm safety…[unintelligible] ok the UCP just lit up tiers 3 and 4 [democratic overreach] with like a [unintelligible] spray: we got charter rights…particles, municipal takeover

web.archive.orgUCP Platform 2023 – The United Conservative Party

Ok! Not a record, probably. The last NDP gov’t gets an 87% by the same measure and I don’t know about you but I’m feeling way more than 4% more violated. We need better math, gang, where: U_i = unmandated bill i W_i = weight of bill i N_{total} = # of bills passed n = # unmandated bills passed

and multiplier (W_i) is: 0x: Routine Governance/Crisis Response 1x: Minor Policy Surprises 2x: Major Policy/Fiscal Surprises 5x: Systemic/Institutional Overhauls 10x: Democratic/Constitutional Shifts And MDI_sub? Because it’s the Substantive Mandate Deficit Index score. Let’s crunch some #s

Sorry guys, the UCP’s 2023 platform link is still broken. While we wait, it looks like ~90% of bills passed since then aren’t in it (eg private-pay healthcare, fast tracking referendums, removing charter rights, firing mayors etc). I’ll keep checking and update asap! #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Sorry, meant to say that investors should know that the current government of Alberta is illegitimate, *with all that entails*, and that to suggest otherwise would be fraudulent. Just in case the risk managers and insurance analysts are a bit thick. #cdnpoli #ableg

Smith is not trustworthy and is currently governing without a mandate (separation from Canada, removing charter rights and endangering vulnerable Canadians, etc), and potential investors should know the Alberta government is illegitimate. To suggest otherwise would be fraudulent. #ableg #cdnpoli
