“As Nova Scotia reports *38* new cases of #COVID19–the largest single-day case increase in nearly one year—NS's premier announced tighter restrictions in the #Halifax area...”

**cries in Alberta**

For the record, “Alberta reported 1,699 new cases of COVID-19 [yesterday]” more than 10x the per capita infection rate of NS.

Yesterday, as cases rose again, the Premier tweeted about how great this summer will be.

Over 2,000 Albertans have died from #COVID19AB with just 10 people being allowed at their funerals. #ableg #FiretheUCP

It’s not so long ago that Kenney trumpeted how well he had managed to contain variants. 🤦‍♂️

Let’s see how other provinces are doing.

“Ontario reported another 3,682 confirmed cases of COVID-19 & 40 more deaths [today]”

New Cases per million:

ON: 252/M
NS: 38/M
AB: 395/M

A bad day for @fordnation
NS shuts down.
@jkenney dreams of football.

cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

For his part, a (crocodile) tearful @fordnation was very very sorry that frontline workers would never get paid sick leave while he was premier.

We all know @jkenney would never apologise like that.

“Manitoba counts have once again started to soar with the province adding 261 alone [today.]”

That’s a new case rate of 190/M.

@BrianPallister rejects call for near-lockdown.

@jkenney would tell Brian to get his numbers up.

“#Saskatchewan reported 231 new cases of #COVID19 [yesterday.]”

That’s a new case rate of 207/M.
More than 5x higher than Nova Scotia’s.

@PremierScottMoe was also excited about football yesterday. @jkenney would approve

Before we move on, let’s take a moment to acknowledge @PremierScottMoe’s biggest fan, Alberta-based oil-well orphaner, @WBrettWilson.

In 2019, @SaskParty received $9,000 from Wilson’s company, Prairie Merchant Corp.

Also from that @pressprogress article:

Other 2019 #Alberta-based corporate donators to @SaskParty included Enbridge ($8,790), Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. ($7,590) & Agincourt Investments ($7,500).

Remember CNRL, the huge corporate welfare queen?

Let’s check on BC.

“BC’s health-care system is under "immense" pressure due to #COVID19... [with] 1,006 new cases [today] & four more deaths due to #COVIDbc.”

201/M vs. Alberta’s 395/M.

Such low #’s would disappoint @jkenney.

Hey, #bcpoli, while you’re here, remember when @NHLFlames owner, Billionaire N. Murray Edwards, came to the rescue of Christy Clark to help raise $1,000,000 in one night to help her get re-elected?

Back to current events:

@jjhorgan’s government has introduced this week as new daily cases rise beyond 200/M...

#bcpoli #covid19 #cdnpoli #COVIDCanada

https://twitter.com/jjhorgan/status/1384320529276960768

...but

“BC suffered another eight deaths related to COVID-19 over the weekend, & one of the victims was UNDER THE AGE OF TWO.”

You need to do better @jjhorgan.

A 7-week lockdown could get BC to #ZeroCovid.

bc.ctvnews.ca/two-year-old-b…

Next: “Quebec reported 1,248 new cases [today] & and seven more deaths.”

That’s 147 new cases per million compared to #Alberta’s 395/M

Earlier waves hit #Quebec so hard that they called the military in to help in long-term care homes.

Let’s review:

PEI: 6/M (1)
NL: 6/M (3)
NB: 24/M (19)
NS: 39/M (38)
PQ: 147/M (1248)
BC: 201/M (1006)
SK: 207/M (231)
MB: 190/M (261)
ON: 252/M (3682)
AB: 395/M (1699)

New daily cases per million (reported new cases)

data from Wed/Thu as per sources in this thread.

Here’s how those R(t)’s looked across the country. 👀

In general what we see here is a pattern where the provinces with worst performances are those led by governments that choose “the economy” over the health of citizens.

(I need to find a meme like this for @PremierScottMoe)

#abpoli #onpoli #mbpoli #skpoli

In Alberta we have an extra little problem where more than a quarter of new infections are among school-aged children.

See @MerlinofCanada’s tweet below.

Is this happening in other provinces?

One last thing I want to address here that I haven’t seen a ton of coverage about shows up on this map showing total infections per 100k.

Case rates in First Nations communities have been awful.

#cdnpoli

canada.ca/en/public-heal…🔗

Vaccinations in First Nations communities have brought case rates down in the past few months, but there’s no doubt that FNs were hit disproportionally hard by this pandemic.

This report is from January👇
