That’s why he removed the power of the Chief Medical Officer of Health in April 2020. She unilaterally closed schools and ordered a lockdown in keeping with the rest of the nation. He stripped her of that power very shortly after.
Now she just advises politicians who make public health decisions.
Read the article. You’ll find every rationale Kenney has offered included in the legal arguments to remove the power of governors to order lockdowns, issue mandatory mask edicts and close schools.
Kenney has no intention to ever lockdown Alberta again.
He will have to be removed from office, along with UCP before we can adequately protect the public health of Albertans ever again.
Legislation will need to be amended. Because UCP has already changed it to protect liberty.
Giving the individual agency to decide whether they will adhere to recommendations or not. The power to infect others with COVid through liberty and freedom is guaranteed by Kenney.
Just like ALEC has requested.

All the appearance of choice, but the participation in voting changes nothing. Even in overwhelming popular votes. This is the electoral and political system Russia has used since Putin took power.
That is what is being engineered through gerrymandering, voter suppression, vote tampering and blatant cheating.
A tyranny of the minority.
An autocratic state controlled by theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.
Kenney is a Dominionist Christian. He believes human rights are divinely bestowed by god through the “inerrant” bible. Natural law supersedes secular law. It’s not just international law rejected. He also rejects the Charter of Rights & Freedoms.
The UCP platform included a commitment to repeal human rights legislation in Alberta. And also to make access to the Alberta Human Rights Commission difficult.
Kenney believes and will legislate that human rights are bestowed by god, not man.
Kenney is incapable of altering his ideology. He so fervently believes his own rhetoric about liberty and freedom and god’s will is to let the chosen people decide for themselves as their divinely bestowed rights permit, that he will not intervene to halt COVid.
We can wait. We have example after example of American states collapsing healthcare systems to know what to expect.
This is arrogance, hubris & blind faith in divinely bestowed rights that’s preventing Kenney from acting in the interests of public health vs individual liberty.
Personal data is the new oil for capitalism. The control of the distribution of resources through personal data aggregation and analysis is the new reality.
Harvesting personal health data is part of that objective. Change laws to make it easier.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro It is being overlooked. Most focus on individual threat, but this legislation permits the government to harvest data and use it for any purpose they consider “in the best interests” of the public. Consider who UCP sees as the “public.”
Corporations & Dominionist Christians.
@Paulbyjove1@Dave_Khan@jkenney@shandro This legislation permits AB government to transfer individual and aggregated data to Corporate and Faith based entities for analysis, manipulation and influence.
The documentary “People You May Know” revealed that health data (more specifically mental health data) is sought.
Eventually, Biden will call in the marshals to remove Trump.
The process to remove Kenney is similar in nature. We could wait until an election 2.5 years from now. Or we could protest en masse to remove the stubborn turnip now.
My preference is now. Why allow Kenney & UCP any more opportunity to inflict policy that will kill people & exacerbate the spread of COVid? Why allow UCP the ability to claim a Public Health emergency and gain another power grab?
Law and order, broadcasting laws, the inability to outright lie in media like Fox News does. Think Hannity and you’ll know what I mean. Hannity “reports” completely bogus disinformation. Fake news that doesn’t have an ounce of truth.
@MgS_2011@brianlilley@anthonyfurey Canadian legislation limits how media portrays the far right. Because of laws put in place to keep information truthful and based on facts. But mainstream media has found a way around those laws and regulations. They need to be tightened up.
