UCP leadership candidate Brian Jean says if successful in the premier race he will prohibit organizations under provincial government control, such as Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the Alberta Energy Regulator, from being World Economic Forum (WEF) members or affiliates..Jean told the Western Standard this also includes attending WEF events or projects..He would also change the Municipal Government Act to prohibit municipalities from becoming WEF members or using taxpayer dollars to participate in WEF events or projects..In July 2020, AHS caught the eye of the WEF which invited AHS to join its Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare to play a role in shaping future healthcare on the international stage..The goal of the global coalition was to "accelerate the transformation toward value-based healthcare.".A year prior, in March 2019, Nauman Saeed Anwar, manager of Climate Policy Assurance for the Alberta Energy Regulator was featured in a video on the WEF's Twitter account..Recently, the WEF said it wants to end “wasteful” private vehicle ownership, instead it wants “communal sharing” of vehicles to reduce global demands for fossil fuels and precious metals. .A WEF paper argued private vehicles are not good for the planet’s health and most vehicles are barely used."The WEF would be comical except so many politicians, senior bureaucrats and opinion setters, including Canadian politicians and media, take them seriously," Jean told the Western Standard."Telling people they will 'own nothing rent everything, and be happy' is repulsive. Only a fool wouldn't ask who they will be renting from? Why would anyone give up that much control over their lives? I believe in people's autonomy," Jean said."Stupid ideas from the WEF become public policy directions pushed in Universities, governments and think tanks. Invite a self-important politician, professor or bureaucrat to a super fancy hotel, tell them they matter and pretty soon they are pushing crazy theories. I can't understand why so many Canadian politicians have been captured by the weird ideas of the WEF."Jean said he believes Alberta taxpayers should be sending money to an organization that, "if it got its way, would harm Albertans.""When the WEF wants to take away people's vehicles, we should recognize that as an attack on individual autonomy and on Alberta's future prosperity. Alberta's Energy Regulator should not be participating in the WEF," Jean said.
