Bullies are predictable. When you stand up to a bully, they run and hide.
Kenney will try to reestablish his dominance. He will try to impose targeted strategies. But he will not impose a lockdown, yet.
He will eventually.
When he finally declares a provincial wide emergency, on his own terms, the Public Health Act gives UCP ministers unlimited powers.
Kenney is holding off on imposing a lockdown until Alberta is so saturated with COVid that hospitals and healthcare are teetering or collapsed.
Why? Because the ensuing chaos and pandemonium will enable him and UCP Cabinet Ministers to make changes without the nuisance of opposition or public pressure. When the entire population is focussed on surviving vs politics, that’s when he will order a lockdown. Not before.
The man and the party are diabolical. Kenney intends to turn Alberta into a paleolibertarian paradise. Where the wealthy rule unchallenged and workers accept a pittance of wages to perform slave labour. Where human rights are erased and the bible proscribes obedience and worship.
Or a reasonable facsimile of this dystopia.
Kraven Kowardly Kenney is an autocrat and ideologue.
His reign of death and disaster needs to come to an end. Before he invokes the Public Health Act.

Boy am I getting tired of witnessing the NDP get trampled in QP daily.
Why is it the left never knows how to control the conversation and doesn’t even recognize when the right are controlling the narrative by playing victim?
Shandro yesterday, Nixon today.
Nixon is playing victim by just repeating “we will not make this political” over and over. Except they have made it political. By insisting lives AND livelihoods be protected.
When your house is burning down, you don’t run and get the garden hose, you save the baby & grandma.
That’s the ethical and moral choice. You can rebuild your house. You can not replace a child or grandma. Lives are the priority, not property.
If this were a natural disaster like a flood. You don’t abandon people grasping onto trees to save the local restaurant.
Only the Republicans know that answer. But it’s a likely possibility.
Criminals backed into a corner will do whatever it takes to escape justice.
That sigh of relief you felt when Biden finally got the approval to transfer power is fleeting and illusory.
To avoid burnout, stop celebrating and relaxing every time Biden wins a battle. It’s the war that needs to be won, not any individual battle. Every small victory is great. It’s one step closer to Biden in the White House and stability.
Albertans direly need help getting mainstream media attention to this story.
Not only did Minister Luan reveal the official plan is to do NOTHING to address COVid, so did Minister Shandro at another Grande Prairie AGM this weekend.
Published by South Peace News, reporter Susan Thompson records Minister Shandro pandering to what appears to be Q’Anon conspiracy theories. Though she didn’t label it as such.
Shandro revealed the Alberta COVid strategy is being guided by Dr. Hodkinson. A discredited physician.
The Canadian College of Physicians and Surgeons recently released a public statement distancing the organization from Dr. Hodkinson’s opinion about COVid danger and the use of masks.
Now it seems the doctor has allegedly recommended testing be stopped, unless symptomatic.
As Mr. Luan back peddles furiously from his diabolical statements made on Friday that seem very consistent with official Alberta UCP policy, I found Austrian economics opinions that spell out the UCP’s current stance on COVid mitigation (i.e. Procrastinating until crisis).
Mises Institute is where UCP members and supporters go to find & validate their ideology.
This speech is laden with theocratic overtones & the belief that it’s better to let people decide themselves, where they can make a personal risk assessment. Therefore no mandates needed.
Premiers of Provinces have the responsibility and purview for the majority of healthcare. Premiers & fed opposition blocked national coordination. Premiers refused to spend the Fed aid and implemented a herd immunity strategy. Canada is descending into chaos.
@erinotoole CPC and NDP blocked a federal emergency from being invoked.
This result is all on premiers. Hey aren’t most of them far right conservative?
Then cons and NDP started a fake scandal to distract public from attending to COVid opening safety. Great move.
@erinotoole Canadians have no one to blame for the devastation of COVid and economic situation but Scheer, Legault, Ford, Pallister, Moe & especially, Kenney. As well, populist sycophant Singh and Horgan.
And you.
Don’t project your party’s ineptitude and malevolence.
