Alberts needs leadership now, not when Jason Kenney feels like it. This is bad. This is very very bad. And our Premier has completely avoided taking any action that would help us because he doesn’t want to alienate his rural base.

This - what we are seeing happen with COVID spread in Alberta - is the danger of populists who pander to the far right with “freedom and liberty or die!” rhetoric. Kenney cornered himself with his own cheap talk. And now he’s politically trapped. #ableg
If he does nothing, the hospitals will be overrun, thousands will die, and he may just lose the next election. If he does what he should, his hardcore conservative base may turn on him & he loses the next election. #ableg
Pandering to the stupidest - the lowest common denominator - is a cheap and easy way to get votes and power. But it’s also the dumbest way. Because eventually you have to govern. And when you’ve cornered yourself in, governing effectively becomes impossible. #ableg
