Alta govt health officials @shandro@CMOH_Alberta please listen to this UK expert. Pls don't base your reopening plan on our first dose vaccination rate. The variant B.1.617.2 is a potential threat. Especially don't open Alta to intern'l travellers for Calgary Stampede. Thnx ⤵️
2/ Also, Alberta health minister Shandro @shandro & Dr Hinshaw @CMOH_Alberta, this variant #B16172 (see video quote-tweeted in above tweet) hits younger people the most
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.
2/ Regarding what the Canadian govt is planning to use:
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.
3/ (My linked thread in 2/ doesn't include ref to Poilievre's anti-WEF stance, here's a ref)
"In speeches to Conservative supporters across Canada, Poilievre has promised that none of his ministers will attend the international organization's conferences" ctvnews.ca/politics/poili…
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.
@TheJasonPugh 3/
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).
"The federal Conservatives say they won't be taking advice from "so-called experts" when it comes to carbon pricing, after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging Pierre Poilievre's stance."
2/ My thoughts, this is like when Harper showed a disdain for experts. Sounds like if CPC formed next govt, data will be destroyed, scientific and economic programs under-funded, decisions made at the top without consultation with experts. Is this what Millennials wish? Really?
3/ For anyone who wasn't paying attn to #CdnPoli (or was not voting age then) during Harper years, here's a good article by Carol Linnitt, in May 2013 issue of Academic Matters, "Harper’s attack on science: No science, no evidence, no truth, no democracy" academicmatters.ca/harpers-attack…
