1. Why is the government of Alberta - a conservative party in a conservative province - trailing badly in the polls? I suspect it's videos like this that are a weekly affair. My tweet alone here has 1 million impressions in half a day. This is the official face of the government.

2. The different versions of this video have been seen by tens of millions of people. It shows abusive lockdown policing & anti-Christian bigotry. Both are recurring patterns across in Alberta. The worst being the 35-day imprisonment of Pastor James Coates.

3. The official Media Party loves this police brutality. They're lockdownists, authoritarians and anti-Christian bigots. So is the bulk of the @YourAlberta bureaucracy, especially the "public health" experts. There is no such thing as a conservative working in "public health".

4. But all of those constituencies hate @jkenney & his @UCPCaucus. This is a double win for them: they're attacking Christian churches; but they're doing it in Kenney's name. Much more fun than doing it for @RachelNotley.

5. The people egging on the lockdown and demanding brutal enforcement won't ever vote @UCPCaucus. They hate @jkenney. They're amazed they can get him to lock down as much as he has. And note the enforcement: targetting small businesses and conservative churches - his base.

6. Florida provides a roadmap. At first, it was ridiculed as dangerous and unscientific. But @GovRonDeSantis didn't blink and now the results speak for themselves: good health outcomes, great economic outcomes and a political reputation for courage and freedom.

7. It's like that loser @erinotoole - if you're just like the left, why would conservatives lift a finger for you? He's about to be crushed because he refuses to lead. These provincial polls seem unreal, but they're real. Grassroots conservatives are simply checking out.

8. Lift the lockdowns. Order the police to cease entering churches or enforcing civil matters. Order prosecutors to stop seeking prison and stop overcharging. Set up an office of religious freedom. And have a sit-down meeting with Pastor Coates and @KayceeMaduYEG.
