Alberta Government to Cut Ties with World Economic Forum

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she is canceling a health consulting agreement that involves the World Economic Forum.

Smith commented that she won’t work with groups that talk about controlling governments.

“I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders,” Smith said at a news conference Monday after her new cabinet was sworn in.

“That is offensive, the people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them,” she added.

“Quite frankly, until that organization stops bragging about how much control they have over political leaders, I have no interest in being involved with them.”

National Post reported:

The United Conservative Party premier said she is in lockstep with federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has stated he and his caucus will having nothing to do with the World Economic Forum.

The deal with Alberta Health Services sees the province share ideas with health researchers at Harvard University and the Mayo Clinic under the forum’s umbrella.

The high-profile conference of global political and business leaders has been the focus of conspiracy theories from both sides of the political spectrum.

A decade ago, it was accused by the left-wing of conspiring to cut pensions and slash environmental programs.

It became the focus of attacks from the right during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the it promoted a “great reset,” calling for ideas on how to better organize global society post pandemic.

CTV News added:

Smith, on a livestream interview Friday, announced the deal was ending but didn’t say why. At a news conference Saturday, she declined to respond to two questions on the forum.

The premier was asked by a reporter Monday if she has concerns about the forum “because you accept the online conspiracy theory that WEF is a front for a global cabal of world leaders bent on using the pandemic to destroy capitalism and install a socialist dysfunctional dystopia.”

Smith declined to answer.

“I think it makes sense to make health decisions based on health experts,” she said.

“The group (WEF) … and the person at the helm of it (Klaus Schwab) — I don’t think he’s a medical doctor. I don’t think he’s a nurse, and I don’t think he’s a paramedic and I don’t think he’s a health professional.

“I am going to be taking advice from our front-line nurses, doctors, paramedics and health professionals to fix the local problems that we have.”

NDP finance critic Shannon Phillips said in a statement said Danielle Smith’s “bizarre fixation” on the World Economic Forum does nothing to repair health care, create jobs or lower the cost of living for Alberta families.

“It is troubling for Albertans that Smith is more interested in dangerous conspiracy theories than helping families and businesses,” Phillips said.

In response to the conspiracy theorists who deny the World Economic Forum influences governments, here’s a video of Klaus Schwab bragging about how he “penetrates the cabinets” of most major world governments.
