Council of Canadians, Red Deer and Area Chapter

Council of Canadians, Red Deer and Area Chapter Humanity is at a crossroads. Tragically, most governments support an economic system that pits unlimited growth above the vital needs of people and the planet.

The Council of Canadians Red Deer chapter is part of a national grassroots organization of committed individuals, like yourself, that work towards a greater society for all people, not just the elite. Economic globalization and unregulated market capitalism have divided the world – and Canada – into rich and poor as at no time in living history and endangered the ability of the planet to sustain life. The foundation of our work is the education and empowerment of people to fight for the values and policies we believe in. Our members, supporters and network of over 70 activist chapters create a powerful voice for social and environmental justice. We work to hold governments accountable and challenge the unbalanced power of corporations, promoting positive social change in Canada and the world. We believe this path must be founded on a deep understanding of our place within life and nature. We are the only species capable of profoundly altering the biosphere. That must inspire us to humility, not arrogance; to stewardship, not exploitation; and to social solidarity, not competition.

I don't normally address rumours on here but I have been getting some messages about a particular one out there right now. An image is being circulated that the ATA donated over a million dollars to the NDP in 2021.

This is untrue.

We had to register as a third party advertiser under legislation when we launched the Stand for Education media campaign which coincided with the election. The amounts you see there are for the non partisan ad campaign, they are not donations to political parties. The ATA is non partisan by policy; therefore, we do not endorse candidates or political parties. Any money budgeted by the Association is closely scrutinized and voted on by delegates at our Annual Representative Assembly, and a donation like this would never be considered, let alone be passed by delegates.

Again, this is a lie being perpetrated by some online to try to create a fake controversy, smear the ATA, and divide members.
