a Q from Global for Dr Hinshaw about no. of outbreaks being high in Day Cares. Dr says they're looking for patterns or trends that indicate add'l measures needed. Mentions variants.

- isn't AHS simply doing sample testing for variants? Wouldn't more testing for variants help?
8/
- all of this talk about urban v rural, would've been unnecessary if health officials, Health Min Shandro & premier Kenney, hadn't articulated a belief that Covid-19 was a regional prob, refusing to mandate province-wide measures, until pressured into it.

another good follow, for Alberta politics and Covid-19 news is @CGriwkowsky

The member for Sarnia-Lambton, ON - Marilyn Gladu, a CPC MP, just admitted to why they're really filibustering parliament - the Cdn federal Conservatives are taking a page out of the US' GOP playbook and obstructing govt legislation.

The claim that docs haven't been provided to the RCMP by the Liberals, is not true. The RCMP have said they already have what they need for their investigation. Not only that, but it would be inappropriate for parliamentarians to direct the work of the independent RCMP.
*To clarify, it is a false claim being made by the CPC MP when she says that the Liberals didn't provide docs to the RCMP

Canadian voters, please think hard before you support the CPC. Take note that they think using M*usk's Starlink is the way to go. M*sk denied the use of Starlink by Ukraine, to help the Kremlin. Think about what decisions they'd make as cabinet ministers if CPC formed govt.

"And when you think about drugs, Pierre Poilievre is the only one who understands the problem," Laryssa Waler.

I disagree. Mr Poilievre has revealed a complete lack of understanding the drug crisis in Canada.

For instance, note what @dmacpher has to say about Poilievre's lying about the fed govt's drug policy

It's not normal to accuse govt of starting wildfires; wish to fire BofC's gov; push Bitcoin; be anti-expert; be anti-WEF; let Leslyn Lewis stay in front bench despite assoc w/AfD, etc.; march w/James Topp; back anti-vax mandate bill; call PET & PMJT Marxists; use MGTOW tag, etc.

Kristin, you're being shown a clip out of context. If you'd watched QP today, you'd know that he was responding to CPC member's claims that Cdns would save $500 to $800 if the carbon tax was removed. To save that you'd need to drive 37,000 klms. You'd need to drive non-stop 24-7.

I really think people like Kirstin mean well and I blame those who are lying to her or manipulating her with clips shared out of context.

Rage-farming with disinformation and use of hyperbolic rhetoric and tug-at-your-heartstrings anecdotes. I'm waiting for Poilievre to accuse the (fed Liberal) govt of k*lling puppies next (has come close to doing that today in #QP).

This interview with Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Constable Diona Wilson on @PnPCBC, is informative:
