Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh, Lethbridge Police Service: says along the lines of "we need to protect everyone involved"

then says (direct quote) "including those police officers who have allegedly made these mistakes ... let's not make judgements before we have the facts"
2/
 (per @CBCNews Alta Police respond to surveillance of former minister)
3/
 this piece by @journo_dale is relevant
4/
 IMHO, the use of the word "mistakes" is taking this too lightly - this is why I quoted that particular part of his speech just now
5/
 background info
6/
 ... and now he (Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh, Lethbridge Police Service) just said "those are not organizational problems, those are individual problems"

and "I don't think human beings are entitled to judge other human beings. Only God can judge us"

- this presser is wild!
7/
 darn. @CBCNews just switched away from the presser. Will have to try to find it somewhere-else

 adding this 660 News video: at 0:24/1:16 the reporter mentions that the Chief mentions 'God'

(should have tagged the reporter by name @city_cara Cara Campbell, Calgary)

Chris Selley: Grumbling over O'Toole's leadership might be overblown — but it's not unjustified nationalpost.com/opinion/chris-…
2/
 (abbrev from article) "what the bedrock Con base wants more than anything else is to see Trudeau kicked out of ofc. … it will tolerate extreme levels of cognitive dissonance — tho embracing a carbon tax might stretch those limits right to the breaking point."
3/
 (abbrev) "maj reason Con base hates carbon taxes is precisely bec Trudeau supports them. P Brown’s apostasy on carbon tax was one main of reasons Ont Tories happy to dance around flaming wreckage of his leadership"

IMO, entire piece (link at top) fascinating & good read

 When you hear the CPC make claims that the Gov’t of Canada has failed Canadian small businesses, they overlook the fact that gov’ts around the world are experiencing the same thing, due to the pandemic.
(a thread with charts, to follow – from 4/ onwards. Link in 11/)
2/
 And while I’m not suggesting we ignore the plight of small businesses, how much better off would these owners be, if they and/or their employees and/or their customers, were dead from the virus? It’s a false dichotomy to look at the economy vs health …
3/
 The following quotes and screenshots I made of charts, are from “How Canada's pandemic experience has been easier than some” Evan dyer, CBC News, Mar. 2, 2021 (link to article in tweet 11/)

 Good segment just now, on @CBCEyeopener w Dr Raj Bhardwaj @RajBhardwajMD discussing AstraZeneca vaccine. Here are a few highlights I noted:

. People are getting hung up on the 62%
. There’s a bunch of diff ways to slice these numbers
...
2/
 . Two standard doses given a full 12 weeks apart … have a higher efficacy
. Anybody who got the AZ vaccine, nobody got sick enough to be hospitalized, nobody died
. Real world data from the UK and Scotland. Associated w reduction in risk of hospitalizations by 94%
3/
. [depends upon] where those countries were on their curve of infection
. Bottom line for me, the AZ vaccine has the ability to turn the deadly virus into a common cold, just like the mRNA one
. [goes back to initially] there weren’t enough older people in the trial.

#C213 I've noticed that the Fed NDP talking point is that Liberals have been promising this for 24 years. In truth, only 4 years. Thread: (ref in tweets 4/5/6/)
1/
 It was only in 2004 that Premiers (except Que who have their own prog) have been calling for national pharmacare.
2/
 Paul Martin’s Liberal gov’t made some progress, then work towards national pharmacare stalled out for 10 yrs under Harper. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal gov’t name Eric Hoskins head of fed advisory council on how to implement national pharmacare in 2018.
3/
 2018 minus 2004 = 14 years. 14 minus 10 years stalled under Harper = 4 years. In other words: Liberal gov’ts, with request from Premiers, have been working on this for 4 years.

FOUR YEARS

PM Trudeau, in response to question about pharmacare: “Yes, we know there is more to do, which is why we’re working in partnership with provinces and territories. The NDP are pulling a political stunt …
2/
 PMJT cont’d: … to try to demonstrate that they could do it in a wave of a magic wand. Mr. Speaker, we work in the real world here. We work with the provinces, we work within the constitution, and we will deliver national pharmacare for Canadians”

listening to Ontario's Vaccine update. Rick Hillier won't answer the reporter Laura's question, why is there no plan.
He claims that they have to wait 'til vaccines arrive.
And gives example ppl able to find out from Toronto - so he's downloading responsibility to cities?
#ONpoli
2/
 Hillier seems to think the only info people want in Ontario, is age brackets and who comes first. No info about locations or who will do the vaccinating
3/
 I feel so bad for Ontarians. I thought it was bad here in Alberta. O M G, he's continuing to basically stonewall the reporters. And I think he really believes what he's saying, which means he's "not the brightest bulb" IMHO
