On Aug. 19, 1942, the Dieppe Raid was conducted. The raid only lasted nine hours but 907 Canadians were killed, 2,460 were wounded and 1,946 were taken prisoner. Among the Canadians, there were many heroes. These are some of their stories. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/7

Just genuinely, remarkably stupid. Alberta has plenty of provincial debt -- and more each year. Any separation agreement would require it to take on a proportionate share of the federal debt. If anything, an independent Alberta currency would be a recipe for hyperinflation.

Manufacturing Consent: 10 Propaganda Techniques of ‘Alberta Next’

Push Polling
The “Rigged Survey”
Part 1 in a 10-part series exposing Alberta Government Propaganda

What is a Push Poll?
It pretends to ask for your opinion, but only offers answers they want.
The questions are loaded, and there’s no real way to say no.
It’s not feedback—it’s a setup.
(Icon: clipboard with checkboxes and pencil)

How Does It Work?
They ask loaded questions with limited answers—and no option to skip.
It’s like being asked, “How do you like your tea—black or with sugar?”
Except you don’t like tea, and you still have to pick one.
That’s not choice—it’s control.

What’s the Alberta Next Example?
After showing a pro-APP video, they asked:
“What potential benefit do you like most about Alberta opting to leave the CPP?”
No neutral option. No space to disagree. No way to skip.
Just pick your favourite selling point.

Why Does It Matter?
Because the government will weaponize your answers—using falsely gathered information as truth.
They’ll point to it to justify leaving the CPP, even though it doesn’t reflect what people actually want.

Warning
This is a deliberate and dishonest tactic. It aims to distort truth, manipulate your understanding, and undermine the very foundations of democracy by simulating genuine participation. Stay critical, stay informed.
