@IanRunkle The guy has some bonafide mental issues. He has priors with police wrt a bomb threat, has been harassing schools and constituency offices with conspiracy theories, and has resisted arrest. He is psychotic and psychotic people often don’t seem psychotic but they aren’t stable

Alright... This guy looked familiar so I did a bit of digging. His name is Nicholas Jordan Wagter. He's a biophysicist. He has a paper published online titled, Super Special Relativity. Interestingly, the paper is also published on the US NIH website (link in the thread below). He has three different X accounts and appears to be most active on Instagram (link is also below). What this looks like to me is a scenario where a super genius personality type has jumped down some rabbit holes and made some breakthroughs, but has also found some distressing things along the way. It appears this isn't his first contact with police. Based on the videos from his Instagram account it looks like he's had a few other run-ins. He's posted a number of screenshots and other text that could lead an observer to believe that he is potentially in the throes of a manic episode. I've known many personalities like the one he appears to have. They're incredibly fragile. They have difficulty communicating their theories and ideas to other people because even at baseline they're beyond what most of us can grasp. So over time they become increasingly isolated, which leads to a sort of mania where everything comes out all at once. I'm not saying he's mentally ill. But his behavior would definitely be alarming to people who don't know what they're dealing with. He's been traveling and delivering papers to a variety of government bodies—including MP's. His Super Special Relativity paper looks like a fascinating read. I think what Nicholas really needs is a friend who's willing to listen and can translate his ideas for him. Without a filter it would be easy to perceive him as crazy.

Okay, let's talk about this. Do these processes get abused sometimes? Absolutely. Are they abused most of the time? No. This is a process for when someone is a danger to themselves or others. Without knowing what he said to his psych, we don't know whether this was right.

I have not seen anybody talking about what’s going on in Canada right now. This man was pulled over and told by police that he had to come with them because a psychiatrist labeled him “certifiable.” No paperwork, no rule of law, just a doctor saying that if he didn’t come with him right then and there that he would be arrested. The fact that a government could do this is terrifying.

When asked if she will actively campaign for Alberta to remain in Canada, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says she has been actively campaigning for the last ten years- ever since the federal Liberals began actively campaigning against Alberta.

I have a lot to lose. When viewership drops or my restaurant faces boycotts, I lose money. I'm not wealthy and live paycheck to paycheck. Yet, I still speak out because the cause is important and must be addressed immediately. #Courage #Conviction

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner calls on PM Mark Carney to show more humility, saying he delivered the wrong tone in comments on AB separation this morning. Says he needs to start delivering hope and not fear.

@jasonjamesbnn Here’s his Instagram. You’re right. He’s really taken a deep dive. I knew a guy just like him and same thing…. Smart guy with bipolar and diagnosed psychotic. Conspiracies took over his life. People aren’t doing this guy any favours. He needs help instagram.com/nicholas_jorda…

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 “𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐃” — 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 A man in Vancouver is pulled over. A resident psychiatrist he says never examined him tells him he is being “certified” under the Mental Health Act, and that police will now drive him to a hospital for testing he never agreed to. His words, on camera: 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘏𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥. Here is the part that should stop you cold: under British Columbia's law, that may be 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥. One physician's signature on a single form authorizes holding you for 48 hours. A second buys a full month. A 2009 BC appeals court ruling found the doctor doesn't even have to personally interview you first — notes from your family and a look can be enough. It gets worse. BC is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 where, once you are certified, you are “deemed to consent” to whatever treatment they choose — forced medication included. You cannot refuse. There is no automatic hearing; you have to apply for one yourself, and you can wait up to two weeks while they hold and medicate you. And these aren't paper safeguards that quietly work. When BC's own Ombudsperson audited these detentions, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝟐𝟖% 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 had the legally required forms filled out. More than half of patients were never even handed the document telling them they had a right to fight it. This is not some rare glitch. Involuntary detentions in BC rose 66% in a decade. Police apprehensions under the act more than doubled. Over 20,000 people a year. A man can be taken from the roadside, locked in a ward, and medicated against his will on one stranger's say-so, with no judge anywhere in sight. Canada's own courts are now being asked whether that violates the Charter. The ruling is still pending. 𝐍𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫. 𝘝𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 @𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘰

I went to the University of Alberta to talk about Alberta independence, Ottawa, the Constitution, economics, and whether young people even care about this issue. What surprised me most was that one of the biggest topics that came up was immigration. And it wasn’t brought up by some “far right” guy. It was brought up by a young University of Alberta student who told me he is an immigrant. That matters. Because the conversation around immigration in Canada has become so dishonest that people are afraid to even say the obvious out loud. But this student said it plainly: Canada is bringing in too many people too quickly, without enough control, without enough planning, and without enough respect for the people who came here properly and honestly. We talked about the difference between immigration and uncontrolled immigration. We talked about student visas, overstays, crime, fraud, cost of living, inflation, housing pressure, and how bad policy creates resentment that gets unfairly aimed at entire immigrant communities. And this is exactly why Alberta needs control. Not because immigration is bad. Not because immigrants are bad. But because Alberta should be able to decide who comes here, how many come here, under what rules, and what kind of country we are trying to build. The most interesting part of this conversation was that this young man wasn’t hostile. He wasn’t angry. He was thoughtful, honest, and clearly wrestling with the same questions a lot of Albertans are asking. That’s the kind of conversation we need more of.

@BraedenSorbo That’s funny because this at least the second time this has been posted today. I’m guessing YOU took the video from somewhere that had already “talked about” it. This video is out of context. If you take it at face value, you’re a fool.

@johnfhuizing What you’re basically saying is that the information was always there and had you paid more attention in school and current affairs you’d have understand the process as it pertained to the time it was occurring. There’s nothing in the dark, Johnny. It’s history class.

I was never a separatist, because I was not interested in politics, nor Canada's history. Once I looked under the hood, I could see how Canada is pieced and held together with fake and fraudulent agreements made in the dark. Alberta Independence could be the start of refederation.

@BradRedekopp The planes are so very old that in 2020 a pilot died when the ejection seat failed to deploy. Capt Casey would still be alive had the Liberals grounded those jets in 2018. Lives will be saved because they are getting new planes.

Fuck people like Ramona. MAID provides a vital service to those who are suffering chronic, incurable pain and those facing a slow, excruciating death. Doctors are required BY LAW to inform their patients of all their treatment OPTIONS. Sometimes MAID is one of those options.
Ramona Coelho@rljcoelho

If a surgeon faced repeated complaints tied to concerning circumstances surrounding patient deaths, the public would demand accountability. But in MAiD? An Ontario doctor facing multiple MAiD complaints is still allowed to practise under supervision. Canada’s euthanasia regime lacks meaningful oversight and accountability. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

"Did (Albertans) vote for this last provincial election? No, they didn't, it wasn't on the ballot paper, it wasn't in the mandates or platforms of the governing party..." PM Mark Carney says a separatist question on a question isn't helpful to the economy, that it wasn't part of the UCP's election platform- joking that Premier Smith doesn't always take his advice.

Liberal MP @SalmaZahid15 poses with an IRGC enthusiast wearing a Supreme Leader series fan shirt. The IRGC is a listed terrorist entity in Canada, despite Liberals slow walking the decision. They’ve built an empire of terror proxies, subjugate Iranian women to brutal repression, partner with organized crime in Canada, and intimidate our communities and our leaders. It’s one thing to maybe not notice the t-shirt. But why is this IRGC fanboy so enthusiastic about MP Zahid? 🤔👇

@WScafemirror But it isn’t going to happen. You’re a slim minority. What’s your contingency plan for when the separation fails and you’ve damaged your professional reputation so badly you’ve lost everything you’ve put into your restaurant?

@johnwtomkinson @StayFreeAlberta Countless? You literally took names and tallied up the numbers. The whole point of the petition was NUMBERS but you sit there and expect us to believe you had “countless” First Nation signers. I calling you out. You have the numbers recorded. Just exactly how many did you get!

@TheJasonPugh @Tintie4 The irony of this is that she stopped to tell people that Liberals were supposedly laughing at her because nobody could hear that laughter. In comparison to when a Liberal MP speaks and @CPC_HQ laugh, catcall and heckle so loudly we can’t hear what the MP is saying.

So, Michell Rempel-Garner is holding a presser ahead of QP. Just thought I'd remind everyone of that time she said #Alberta was being treated like a "fart in the room." Elizabeth May stood on a point of order b/c of unparliamentary language. #StayClassy
