Cory Morgan (born in 1971) is a Canadian blogger, Alberta independence politician and activist, and columnist for the Western Standard.[1] He was one of the founders of the Alberta Independence Party in 2000. He was also a founding member of the Wildrose Party.

Biography

Morgan was born in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, raised in Banff, Alberta, and later lived in Priddis, Alberta.[2] He is a survey consultant in the field of energy exploration, particularly oil field surveying.[2][3] He is also a blogger, with a focus on individual rights, particularly property rights.[2] He is a Senior Alberta Columnist for the Western Standard.[4]

He was one of the founders of the Alberta Independence Party.[5][6] In 2001, he ran as an independent candidate in the riding of Banff-Cochrane.[7]

Following the dissolution of the AIP at the end of 2000, Morgan joined the Separation Party of Alberta. He was the SPA's candidate in Highwood in the provincial election of 2004. Morgan later joined the Alberta Alliance in 2006.

He was a founding member of the Wildrose Party.[2] He served in the provincial executive positions of VP Policy and Southern zone director.[2] He was a candidate for the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta, in the constituency of Calgary Mountain View in the Alberta general election of 2008, finishing in third place with 887 votes.[2]

On November 6, 2011, Morgan drove his pickup truck into the Occupy Calgary camp at Olympic Plaza park. Morgan refused to leave his truck until police removed him, was fined $200 and towed.[8] His purpose was part of a counter-protest against Occupy Calgary and a bid to highlight what he felt was unequal enforcement of city bylaws with respect to the Occupy camp and the public at large.[9]

Morgan ran in the 2015 Canadian federal election as a Libertarian in Foothills, finishing in fifth-place with 424 votes.[10][3]

Following the 2019 Canadian federal election, Morgan returned to his Western separatist roots, calling on his supporters to join him.[11]

    Who is Markham Hislop?

    People reading this are already thinking, “Who the hell is Markham Hislop, and why is he worth writing about?”

    Both are fair questions, and I will answer both.

    Markham Hislop is a failed digital news media producer who rebranded himself a few years ago as an energy expert. He tried formed an outlet called Beacon News about a decade ago. The content was uninspiring and he used what he called “advertorials” where paid space was dedicated to OpEds. I believe Craig Chander’s PGIB used that service.

    The Beacon failed and Hislop retreated to the West Coast where he formed Energi News from the table of a McDonald’s outlet. That’s all fine. Many startups are lean and it’s a free market.

    Hislop is a bitter little man, though,h and holds successful media outlets in contempt. He was howling online and threatened to report the Western Standard to AHS for COVID violations because the Standard remained in operation during the pandemic for example. He really gets upset seeing outlets succeed where he failed.

    The problem is he didn’t and still doesn’t know a damn thing about energy. He has no experience or education in the industry, yet he chose that niche to carve out a little spot for himself on the internet. From there, he has blathered about an energy transition that hasn’t happened and continues with failed peak oil predictions.

    Now, that’s not a problem in itself. The internet is loaded with bullshit artists.

    The problem with Hislop is that some legacy media outlets give him oxygen and some people may be fooled into thinking this guy has a clue what he is talking about.

    He appears regularly on a talk radio show in Alberta and the host gets roasted for it every time. Alberta is jam packed with real energy experts. Why does this outlet insist on bringing Hislop on?

    Further, how does Hislop pay his bills?

    His website isn’t subscription-based and appears devoid of any advertising of substance. His YouTube channel barely registers a blip.

    Still, he continues to produce content and share it with any platform willing to give him time. Is his site sponsored by energy transition activists perchance?

    That certainly would explain some things.

    Either way, it’s important that folks like Hislop are documented online. When people are scratching their heads and wondering who the hell the guy they listened to on the radio was and Google the name, it’s important that they find a source to explain his background and his presence.

    If it sounds like he doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about, it’s because he doesn’t. Your ears don’t deceive you.

    Don’t take anything you hear from him seriously.

    My public service posting for the month.
