An Excellent Idea? A DST Test-Run*?

Finish
DST? or MST?
The choice is ours?

Subject: Thank You

Greetings Premier and Ministers of Alberta:

Thank you for the announced test run* on permanent DST.  That leaves many of us with hope that the science will prevail; that in the end, it will be NO to permanent Mountain Daylight Savings Time (-6.00 UTC) and YES to permanent Mountain Standard Time (-7.00 UTC). And who is to say that being one hour later than Saskatchewan (-6.00 UTC), but on the same time as B.C. (-7.00 UTC) is not the preferable outcome?

======================================

Now, as I promised in the previous post, here is a condensed history of “Operation DST” in Alberta.

The Global powers have been pushing for permanent Daylight Savings Time (DST) for decades and various powers in various time zones have fallen to the persuaders despite the objections of science¹ and the wishes of majorities.²

In 2017, an NDP private member’s bill sought to move Alberta to permanent DST by abandoning Mountain Standard Time (-7.00 UTC) in favour of Central Standard Time (-6.00 UTC) and calling it Alberta Standard Time.³ The confused or complicit press kept headlining it as “ending daylight savings time”⁴ and many believed that was fact, but doesn’t that feel like a truckload — when to “end” means to make permanent.

When one reads the headlines from 2017, Albertans wanted DST abolished,⁵ but the powers weren’t ready to concede. With a little more time, talk, and psy-opery, many of the powers seemed to believe DST just might prevail.

In 2019, the UCP did an amputated survey by excluding the preferred choice of MST and then claimed that 91% of respondents wanted permanent DST. Who knows for sure with the survey structured as it was⁶? Except the 2021 ref results didn't bear out anywhere close to 91%.

So in 2021 the powers tried again with a binding referendum, but with the MST preference again amputated. Since most everyone hated the bi-annual spring-ahead, fall-back ritual, the powers seemed to think that permanent DST would be a shoo-in. Except too many Albertans (50.2%) refused “permanent.”⁷ Eight months of biorhythm misalignment seemed somehow better the 12 months of misalignment.

Now in 2026, after an initial suggestion of another referendum, a decision was made to just end the ad nauseam “talk”⁸ by legislating permanent DST. But it seems the “talk” must have exploded, and in a truly astute move, the Premier suggested that Albertans should get a DST-in-winter test run.⁹ [I'm sort of sorry about the hour-not-regained in November 😉, but if we get this decision right, the lucky ones of us who survive this present Canadian and world corruption, coercion, and chaos, can fall-back in March or if necessary in November 2027 and get that hour back.😌]

So here’s my suggestion: as the winter-DST runs its course, let our feelings on the success or failure of the test-run be made known to the powers.¹⁰ It doesn’t take much more than a subject line:

NO to DST; YES to MST

or if one is more verbose or OCD:

NO to permanent Daylight Savings Time (-6.00 UTC); YES to permanent Mountain Standard Time (-7.00 UTC)

My bias is transparent; I prefer the Science and what has become un-common sense.

P.S.: Let's hope this “test-run” is not just another psy-op maneuver.¹¹

 Alberta introduces bill to stay on daylight time year-round, coining it 'Alberta Time'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q-MyP-hB38

Resisting the DST Psy-op?

Over the past decade many Canadians (and others) have been subject to a series of DST (dare we call them?) psy-ops in an attempt to permanently (year-round: winter, spring, summer, fall) force us out of bed an hour early (able, disabled, well, unwell, autistic, exhausted, etc., etc. ) even in the dark of winter in order to squeeze an extra hour of light out of frozen afternoons.

We just witnessed our neighbor to the west, British Columbia by name, fall for the psy-op of "Ditching DST" only to find out that ditching meant embracing / adopting / enforcing a mis-alignment with the sun's cycle and our natural-born biorhythms.

In a future post, I will detail the decade of trying to maneuver Albertans into permanent DST, but for this post, I reproduce an email I sent this day to the Alberta powers who have hinted that permanent DST might be mandated in the near future.

SO, PLEASE, concerned, freedom-loving, science-minded, fellow Albertans, if you want Alberta to truly ditch both DST and flip-flop DST; if you want permanent Mountain Standard Time; if you think morning light is important, etc. etc., PLEASE flood the Alberta powers with your opinion and desires for Mountain Standard Time (UTC-07.00) year-round. Tell them you want the voice of the people to be heard, through referendum if necessary, without manipulating the choice or question to achieve a desired DST result. Send emails or letters to the Premier, to her Executive Council (EC), and to your MLA. Email addresses for the EC can be found at the bottom of this post. For your MLA, go to the link here and click on their name for full contact information.

Copy of the email sent to Premier Danielle Smith and her 26-member Alberta Executive Council
==========================/
Thursday, April 16, 2026 - 10:24 AM MDT; 9:24 AM MST

Subject: Please listen to the science* and the people's voice about DST

Greetings Premier Smith, and Members of the Executive Council:

As you travel the province, please ask clearly, without ulterior motive or agenda pitch: How many here present want:

_____ permanent Mountain Standard Time year-round?
_____ permanent Daylight Savings Time (being Central Standard Time) year-round?
_____ 8-month MDST with March spring-ahead and November fall-back?

If permanent Mountain Standard Time had been offered in the 2021 referendum, this controversy would have been laid to rest 5 years ago, but no, the government offered only the last two options: permanent DST or flip-flop DST.

I complained about the manipulated 2019 survey(1) that preceded the 2021 referendum and now, we are again seeing some of the same deliberate obfuscation:

B.C. Ditching Daylight Saving Time – Should the Rest of Canada Follow? | The Social(2)

The truth is: B.C. is NOT ditching DST. It’s ditching the flip-flop by going permanent DST— the same as adopting our Mountain Standard Time (UTC-07.00), but calling it "Pacific Time"). In the above video the audience applauds the “ditching of DST time changes” only to howl in protest when the host says (without a shred of awareness of the deception) that BC was adopting permanent DST, NOT ditching it.

The same obfuscation was tried in NDP Alberta in 2017 when a private members bill proposed that permanent DST be called “Alberta Standard Time.” People were utterly bamboozled, including the press(3). Many thought it was a bill to "ditch DST." It was the opposite.

Please don’t perpetuate confusion by saying or implying “ditching DST” or “abandoning DST” which most everyone interprets as returning to the permanent Mountain Standard Time they want, when what is meant is permanent Mountain DST, being the same as Central Time (UTC-06.00) which Saskatchewan did in 1966 (going permanent DST by switching to Central Standard Time from Mountain Standard Time).

Honestly ask yourselves: How many Albertans want:

• to ignore the science of sleep and of documented mental and physical health issues around mis-aligning biorhythms with sun cycles(4)?
• to pretend that morning light is not critical to mood, alertness, performance patience, etc.(5) especially for children?
• to pretend that the failed, abandoned permanent DST experiments in Russia, Africa, and dozens of other places(6) have nothing to teach us about sticking with the sun’s cycle?
• to pretend that world time zones don’t already require constant adjustment for travel, business, stock markets, flights, etc., etc.?
• to ignore the significant disruption to children’s bedtime schedules with extended evening light?
• to get kids on the bus or walking to school in the deeper dark of winter mornings?
• to roust sleeping infants an hour early to get them to the sitter or daycare?
• to do morning exercise runs in the deeper darkness of winter?
• to pretend there is any savings of energy when winter furnaces, lights, appliances, etc., etc. have to be turned on an hour early in homes and offices for DST timing?
• to pretend that the needs of Alberta Northern cities and industries are comparable to BC border cities?
• to pretend that we ever were asked or consented to the expansion of DST timing from April to March and October to November?

Please rank the well-being of humans (especially children and families) far above corporate or business interests, evening sports enthusiasts, or individual preferences. Why deliberately mis-align our human physiology with our environment?

Please keep Alberta strong and free of more government manipulation like DST.

Please conduct an honest survey or make this a matter of referendum with the three options above.

Sincerely,
SMSmith

“In a unanimous vote, the standing committee on Alberta’s economic future scrapped Bill 203, a private member’s bill which proposed to keep the province on mountain daylight time year-round. The move would have seen Alberta one hour ahead of British Columbia in the summer while being two hours ahead in the winter. Alberta and Saskatchewan would have been on the same time year-round.”
• Legislative Assembly of Alberta The 29th Legislature Third Session Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future Bill 203, Alberta Standard Time Act Subcommittee Public Input Meeting in Calgary Thursday, September 14, 2017 6 p.m. Transcript No. 29-3-23 at chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://docs.assembly.ab.ca/LADDAR_files/docs/committees/ef/legislature_29/session_3/20170914_1800_01_ef.pdf
“Mr. Veldman: ... First of all, clarity on the bill. I took a quick poll in my office this morning. In one room of seven people nobody knew what the proposed time change was. To use terms like “Alberta standard time” is very confusing because we think of standard time as standard time without the daylight saving time. That’s a detail you can remedy. Six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time, UTC-6, doesn’t mean anything to anybody. You could easily say that it’s daylight saving time year-round because that’s the present proposal. I think you need to clarify that if there was a vote down the road, if people are voting on the present proposal versus – there are really three options.” (EF-959)

WAKE-UP Canada!

(“Stop pretending”* that words that belie actions can be trusted! “Stop pretending”* that values – like freedom, sovereignty, human rights – will have the same meaning in the new order / reset. Awaken to the “gaps between rhetoric and reality.”* Quote marks – with my counter – from Mr. Carney's WEF speech 2026.*)

Once upon a time, many people from diverse nations and tongues longed to come to Canada — escaping to freedom from oppressive regimes; THEN along came a WEFian “prince”¹ who admired the Chinese “system-of-efficiency”² (aka despotism), and things in Canada began to drastically, rapidly change because “sovereign”³ nations are anathema the WEFian dream of OWO (One World Order). Thus a divide and conquer agenda intensified so Canada could be more easily swallowed up with all the other puppified nations into a new, unified, efficient, equitable, safe, just, peaceful WO. And how best, you might ask, does one divide and conquer? by nudging / pushing / pulling every person and group into “justified” states of narcissism, argument, disunity, special entitlement, coercion. etc., etc.?

And if Canada, with its generally pacific, polite, live-and-let-live nature does not divide into chaos with sufficient speed, the solution is to aggressively revive, exaggerate, or invent personal or group offences. But perhaps even better, open-up immigration to servitors of political or ideological extremism. Soon, law-abiding, contributing, freedom-loving, critical-thinking, former citizens of China, Russia, Israel, Asia, Iran, Africa, etc., (or non-extreme Islamists, Sikhs/Khalistani, Hindus, Jews, Christians, et al.⁴) find themselves the transnational targets of despotic regimes or ideologies they thought they had escaped.

Because the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been a front runner in Canadian security concerns for several years, this post will hopefully awaken more Canadians to the dangerous dissonance between OUR Canadian Security Services and former CB,⁵ now minority-seat-PM Mark Carney.⁶

“The RCMP said they are looking at two Montreal-area sites believed to be operating on behalf of Beijing. / Human rights groups have accused China of using the stations to threaten and monitor Chinese nationals abroad. / China has denied running the stations, calling them "service centres" for its nationals overseas. ... / It said Chinese public security bureaus established the "overseas police service stations" in several continents, including two in London and one in Glasgow.

“For several decades, China has pursued a sophisticated campaign to fracture the world’s most integrated defense partnership—that between Canada and the United States.
Beijing’s strategy goes beyond typical diplomatic pressure: it systematically exploits every Canada-US disagreement, transforming routine alliance friction into seemingly irreconcilable divisions. This has become a degree of magnitude easier under US President Donald Trump, with his mercurial policy shifts towards Ottawa. The revelations about Chinese interference in Canadian elections from the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force – a body comprised of Canadian government and security officials which monitors elections threats – illuminate only one dimension of this comprehensive assault on North American solidarity.”

Subject: Long Ballot boys and Elections Canada

Would someone raise with Elections Canada why the Long Ballot boys have not been investigated about their duty* (and probable failure) to open separate bank accounts for each and every one of their independent candidates?
If they have not, is this not a form of misrepresentation and / or fraud that should disqualify them from ever acting as an agent for a candidate? ...

Eight months ago, I raised this same issue with Elections Canada:

Jul 28, 2025, 4:37 PM - info@cef-cce.ca
To Elections Canada Commissioner:
Subject: Battle River-Crowfoot By-election
Before printing ballot forms for the Battle River-Crowfoot riding, will Elections Canada thoroughly research, investigate, and determine:
• whether Tomas Szuchewycz is disqualified to be the agent of any candidate IF he has failed to open individual campaign bank accounts for each of his many independents in Battle River-Crowfoot or the 80+ he represented in Carleton in March / April 2025, which would mean over 250 bank accounts required of him since March 2025?*
• IF Tomas Szuchewycz failed as agent in prior federal elections to open individual campaign bank accounts would this not show a pattern of electoral misrepresentation and / or breach of duty / trust?
• Whether and in what manner the witnesses to consenting electors exercised due diligence as required:
“All signatures must be collected and witnessed in Section F of the online nomination form or Nomination Paper. The witness must use due diligence to make sure that the signatures made in their presence are all by qualified electors who live in the electoral district. The witness does not need to be a qualified elector. This form allows for up to 10 signatures per page, and the same person must witness all elector signatures on any one page." https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=pol&dir=can/bck&document=p5&lang=e#h18
• WHETHER any of the independent Battle River-Crowfoot candidates are not eligible under EA 65 (i) as
(i) a person who was a candidate in a previous election and for whom a return, report, document or declaration has not been provided under subsection 477.59(1), if the time and any extension for providing it have expired.
.....................
* ;Bank account
476.65 (1) A nomination contestant’s financial agent shall open, for the sole purpose of the contestant’s nomination campaign, a separate bank account in a Canadian financial institution as defined in section 2 of the Bank Act, or in an authorized foreign bank as defined in that section that is not subject to the restrictions and requirements referred to in subsection 524(2) of that Act. Account holder name
(2) The account shall name the account holder as follows: “(name of financial agent), financial agent”.**
** 3. Open bank account The official agent has to open a separate bank account to be used exclusively for the candidate’s campaign. This could happen before or after the candidate’s nomination is confirmed or before an election is called. Note that the requirement to open a bank account exists whether or not there are financial transactions. The account has to be with a Canadian financial institution or an authorized foreign bank, as defined by the Bank Act. The official agent must be named as the account holder, as follows: (name), official agent. For example: “Peter Raymond, official agent”. It is also acceptable to add the candidate’s name to the name of the bank account. For example: “Peter Raymond, official agent for Anne Thomas”. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.elections.ca/res/gui/app/2025-02/2025-02_e.pdf

======================================/

This was Election Canada's reply Wed, Oct 15, 2025, 9:17 AM (which did not address the "agent duty" issue):

Thank you for your correspondence dated July 29, 2025, concerning the ballot used for the 2025 federal general election in Battle River – Crowfoot. At this time, the Canada Elections Act does not contain any provisions that would place limitations on the size, format or number of candidates that can be listed on a ballot. For that reason, the matter can not be pursued by our Office.
We acknowledge that longer ballots may also raise other concerns, including those related to accessibility. Should these be areas of concern for you, we encourage you to contact Elections Canada directly. Contact information for Elections Canada can be found on their Contact Us page, located here: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=conge&document=index&lang=e. We thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in the electoral process.

Seems however that something may be happening:

An Appeal to the University of Lethbridge (Alberta)

Copy of an email sent to 39 administration and faculty of the University of Lethbridge (Alberta Canada), this date, March 16, 2026, 12:13 MDT.

--------------------------------------------/

Greetings University of Lethbridge Administration and Faculty:

If you have forgotten the shameful events of February 1, 2023 and February 4, 2026, many of us have not. When students are deliberately triggered into shameful behaviour to prevent beliefs, opinions, or narratives from being questioned or examined, your motto Fiat Lux becomes a farce. And to top-off the Fiat Lux mockery, some of you did a DARVO.* Every honest observer saw what was spun for the media, the public, and the ULeth community: 1) deny the bad behaviour of ULeth students; 2) attack the victim (Widdowson); 3) reverse victim and offender = DARVO.*

The praising of students' cacophonous, disrespectful behaviour; use of the words “the students did a fantastic job in neutralizing her”; and the twisting by DARVO are the very opposite of Fiat Lux. They are Fiat Tenebris/Tenebrae.

Please end the black-and-white thinking** that has captured so much of academia. Please take a lesson from Chief Aaron Pete:

*** Spectrum Street Epistemology

• https://www.streetepistemology.com/

Street Epistemology is a conversational approach that helps people critically reflect on the quality of their reasoning through thoughtful, civil conversations. It offers a novel yet accessible way for nearly anyone who wants to explore their own or others’ beliefs while prioritizing autonomy, authenticity, accuracy, and attentiveness.

• https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Street_Epistemology

Street Epistemology is a reasoned conversation about the basis for belief.

More formally described, Street Epistemology is a conversational tool that helps people reflect on the quality of their reasons and the reliability of the methods used to derive one's confidence level in their deeply-held beliefs.[1]

An epistemology is a way of knowing. Street Epistemology (SE) applies Socratic methods to explore questions of belief. It explores the basis we have for the beliefs we hold.

SE is a practice. It is a collection of skills and techniques that you can apply during sincere conversations to explore important topics and discover new insights. While your objectives may differ, Street Epistemology is generally used to understand a claim (generally a proposition), identify the actual reasons and reliability of the methods used to support the claim, and determine if one's confidence in the claim is justified.

Gas-Fogging* in Academia & Beyond

(*Alternately called gas-lighting)

For those who have not heard of the fog-bank that has obscured the Fiat Lux motto¹ — Let there be light — of the University of Lethbridge (and to be fair, much of academia worldwide), it's worth a look at this classic example of gas-fogging with DARVO² from the University of Lethbridge, February 4th, 2026.

You've never heard of DARVO!? In short, DARVO³ is a tactic where an offender or offenders who might face consequences for bad behavior vigorously deny "the bad" and attack the victim of their behavior in a concerted campaign to reverse victim and offender in their own minds and in the minds of any observer.

Thus the calm, reasoning, but stubborn Frances Widdowson who visited the University of Lethbridge on invitation from an emeritus ULeth professor to debate him and any other believer in the Residential School⁴ genocide, mass-grave narrative was surrounded for many hours by a cacophonous rabble who had no interest in hearing or letting others hear anything that did not affirm their belief in the mass-graves claim that to date has no concrete evidence to sustain it.⁵

So much for fiat lux for the administration and students who knee-jerked at “triggering” descriptions of Widdowson’s presence on campus. To their credit, the majority of the ULeth student-body did not join the noisome fray, but how revelatory of academia that so few had the courage or fool-hardiness to question the imposed mass-graves narrative.⁶

Frances Widdowson, a former (censored, fired) professor at MRU-Calgary, uses a strategy called Spectrum Street Epistemology⁷ designed to rationally debate controversial issues in an endeavour to arrive at truth and to counter the pervasive “closing of the academic mind.” One of those controversies that Widdowson has become known for is questioning the Residential School mass-grave narrative that was adjudged and promulgated by (to put it bluntly):

• devotees and servitors of planned polarization⁸ (including the MSM & gov’t. officials⁹);
• many psy-oped, guilt-infected, or virtue-signaling descendants of “white colonialists”;
• some indigenous¹⁰ members and tribes too ready to adopt “black thinking”¹¹ about all Residential School experiences; and
• severely abused, targeted survivors so traumatized by repetitive abuse that any memory of kindness or caring by others in the RS system has been lost; that childhood fears and speculations are now proven.

Yes, there have been many offences and admissions of early “cultural genocide” or attempts thereat over the years, but this latest shift to physical genocide with mass graves has been spread and believed without firm evidence¹² and, perhaps as importantly, without comparative evidence of child deaths at residential schools vis-à-vis non-residential school child deaths on reservations over the same period. The damage to Canada's reputation by these unproven allegations has been enormous.

To date, after nearly five years of claims, funding, and “investigation,” the Residential School mass-graves narrative remains unverified — i.e., no actual remains or skeletons from mass graves of any kind — just belief and hope that there must be evidence; although some tribal leaders are slowly backing away from mass-grave claims, yet without apology by the MSM or global retraction.¹³

Perhaps it is time for academia to cease teaching and affirming black-and-white thinking where they castigate colonial history and romanticize many things indigenous. Fiat lux looks at both the good and the bad in every history when seeking truth. Black-and-white thinking does not advance fiat lux — "Let there be light.” It is divisive, abusive, and riddled with falsehoods, justifications, and DARVO. No group or people or history is all black or all white. We are flawed humans whatever our skin colour, heritage, or culture. Native elites and non-elite natives alike are as susceptible to corruption, complicity, compromise, ego, greed, self-deception, manipulation, abusive behavior, self-service, etc., etc., as every non-native is, whatever their class or rank. Human nature is ethnic blind. Observing 360° is not hate speech; however, speech or action that  obstructs fiat lux is. There are many noble, honorable indigenous men and women who know the good, the bad and the ugly of their history. They know the prevalence and wounds of conflict, whether white on native, native on white, native on native, or tribe on tribe. Truth seekers want the whole truth, warts and all.

Yes, the actions, arrogance, and crimes of the past that have harmed so many deserve, demand  exposure,¹⁴ but so also does the present power abuse and lack of accountability that plagues so many reservations. Let the whole truth, past and present, be brought into the light. Let there also be a campaign for accountability for many in current tribal leadership so the added sufferings can be acknowledged and dealt with.

For the most part, history has been brutal at some time or other for every group. We can acknowledge and grieve for the tragedies, crimes, and sins of the past without being forced to accept beliefs and mass-grave narratives without proof. 

Professors who promote "black and white" thinking are servitors of Fiat Tenebris / Tenebrae — “Let there be dark / darkness.”  How many indigenous would ULeth allow to speak freely in classrooms if they said that not all residential schools were horrible — that some parents desired the schools and that some students had good and grateful memories of their residential school days. This in no way says that bad, despicable things didn't happen. They did, but good things also happened. To deny either the good or the bad is not “Truth and Reconciliation”; and is not Fiat Lux.

How many professors or students do you allow the freedom to say what they think and see that differs from the authorized narrative? How many are free to criticize indigenous elites that administer their reservations? How many are allowed to talk about the living conditions on many reservations¹⁵? Or the amount of money that flows to improving conditions that do not get improved? Let noble, honorable indigenous leaders (like Chief Aaron Pete¹⁶) and students come forward to petition for rational, honorable debate about this and other divisive controversies.

And please, ULethbridge, quit gas-fogging yourselves, your students, and the public. Apologize for the February 4 DARVO. How can you possibly hold up Fiat Lux when you deliberately triggered reactive, disrespectful, censoring confrontations?

Perhaps as a test of Fiat Lux, ULeth could take-up full-spectrum thinking by viewing these two recent documentaries and then holding Spectrum Street Epistemology sessions exploring the Lux and the Tenebris.

To set the stage for truth, perhaps first begin with this:

3. ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO
DARVO (an acronym for "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.[2][3][4]
Process
DARVO is a tactic used by a perpetrator to avoid accountability for their actions.[5] As the acronym suggests, DARVO commonly involves these steps:
   1. The perpetrator denies the harm or abuse ever took place.[6]
   2. When confronted with evidence, the perpetrator then attacks the person that they had harmed, or are still harming. The attacker may also attack the victim's family or friends.[7]
   3. Finally, the perpetrator claims that they were or are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender.[2][4] It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming.[3]
● https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/DARVO
Etymology
Acronym of “Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender”. Coined by Jennifer J. Freyd in “Violations of power, adaptive blindness, and betrayal trauma theory” (1997), Feminism & Psychology.
These tactics are similar to other techniques used by perpetrators to avoid accountability by manipulating observers' perceptions of events

Splitting, also called binary thinking, dichotomous thinking, black-and-white thinking, all-or-nothing thinking, or thinking in extremes, is the failure in a person's thinking to bring together the dichotomy of both perceived positive and negative qualities of something into a cohesive, realistic whole. It is a common defense mechanism,[1] wherein the individual tends to think in extremes (e.g., an individual's actions and motivations are all good or all bad with no middle ground). This kind of dichotomous interpretation is contrasted by an acknowledgement of certain nuances known as "shades of gray".
