What ought to be concerning is that groups with relatively radical views are organizing to control mainstream political parties, library boards, etc. They're doing it through legal democratic processes but it's under the radar for most people. The problem is a lack of organized pushback.
Case in point: Take Back Alberta. I suggest that instead of bemoaning this we should organize a CP jihad to vote against them at the next UCP AGM.
What are their views?

He also argues that NDP and progressives want to depopulate society for the sake of the environment. "You are the carbon they are trying to reduce."

Honestly? Ya, that's kind of the point. Fewer people but better and smarter should be the goal. Notice how I said "fewer" and not "round everyone up and kill them"? Population decline is a good thing in most cases because population growth usually occurs exponentially, so getting it to drop (without major horrific events) is usually a very slow process.
So yeah, let's reduce useless sacks of carbon a little. Case in point? These groups of a-holes.
