Canada.

You must see this information and share it far and wide. 🚨🚨🚨💥💥💥🚨🚨🚨💥💥💥

Our children are the vectors of disease transmission.

This information has been confirmed repeatedly. No child is safe from transmission of covid.

In Alberta, the inability to trace origin of contact makes this partially obscured. We cannot confirm schools are super spreader environments.

But we can confirm hundreds of children contracted covid.

Several schools sent home huge numbers of children and teachers to isolate until infection was determined positive or negative.

There are several studies confirming children contract covid.

There are several studies confirming children can and do transmit the virus to others as easily as adults do.

To eliminate the transmission we MUST shut schools until vaccines are administered to adults. There isn’t an approved covid vaccine for children.

Children are our most precious resource. The light at the end of the tunnel is visible. Until children can be vaccinated en masse, we cannot sacrifice their health for the economy. That includes childcare.

If Alberta residents need to work, then safe childcare and schools MUST be the priority.

We know UCP has put children at risk. It’s time they stepped up to so what is required to mitigate the virus until we can all be vaccinated.

With the recent fiasco of multiple MLAs travelling abroad, the message is clear from UCP. They don’t give one f**k about mitigating the virus.

With the info about schools being a transmission amplifier, we now have the evidence to demand this government respond to science.

Shut down all schools & ready them properly, using federal funds provided and any extra Alberta funds required, to protect our children.

Anything less than responding to this public demand is just more evidence that UCP wants covid to cripple AB & # of deaths are irrelevant.

Protecting our children and reducing the number of deaths are quite relevant to every Albertan that has sacrificed for the last 10 months.

There is no atonement available to UCP for putting Albertans at risk. None. But this is the least UCP can do to assuage some of the rage.

LTC centres need extra support. If it requires asking for federal assistance, that’s what UCP needs to humble themselves to do.

The UCP actions have unnecessarily endangered lives, resulted in deaths and have isolated the population. Beginning to act like they care is a MUST!

Seeking to reverse the exacerbation of covid MUST become an expectation of the public. And daily reminders and checking are mandatory.

That means increased testing and ramped up vaccinations. Immediately! No excuses.

And there better be written documentation for bathroom privileges for leaders, never mind vacations or days off.

Anything less than all hands on deck right now is grounds to storm the legislature and remove UCP from power. Call a new election.

And while you’re at it. Since UCP can repeal any legislation or make any amendment, remove the clause that gives the governing party absolute power.

Immediately. No need to wait for spring.
