Alex on Facebook shared information about the CIVIX CTRL+F program:
"Highly recommend the CIVIX CTRL+F program, which is designed to help students build digital literacy. Lots of great examples and opportunities to tie digital literacy into curriculum. Worth a look for young and old alike!
While watching a natinal news program last evening, there came on a clip of Danielle Smith talking about, you guessed it, THE PIPELINE. In her enthusiastic tone she claimed that the Federal Government will have approved the new PIPELINE to the West Coast by fall. It struck me that the comment seemed to fit a plan. She claims the Feds will "come to their senses" so to speak by the fall. Curiously, that is when her big referendum show is scheduled. Could there be some kind of connection between the two. We have not heard of any private corporation agreeing to build said infrastructure but she talks like the province's responsibilities are all taken care of.
Fall arrives and because there is no private corporation willing to build it or wants the costs covered by Ottawa, the MOU falls flat, and Smith then blames the Feds for baking out, saying it is all Ottawa's fault. And then comes the referendum on life as we know it. How does that play out?
Within the context of the Alberta referenda, given the demonstrated strategies of the UCP since before they were even elected, there can be no doubt that the Alberta government, funded by taxpayers, will be one of the main sources of misinformation and disinformation. One need only look at their demonization of immigrants, trans, seniors, teachers, public schools, and the list goes on. The government will use every tool at its disposal to obtain the referenda results it wants, so it can then further justify its actions by pointing to those results.
Government based on public opinion is the bane of good government, and over the last decade (at least), it has become more and more the case that governments are influencing public opinion to gain support for their ideological beliefs. The advent of sycophantic AI exacerbates the cognitive bias sown by those primarily concerned with the personal benefits to be gained from power.
