And yet everywhere else in Alberta it’s rising but not spiking.
What a coincidence that 75 cases were deleted today because of computer backups, two weeks to the day after Stampede started.
I wonder how many are Delta variant?
We have advance warning of an impending fourth wave.
Wear a mask. Limit indoor contact if possible. Prepare for the fourth wave to hit the rest of Alberta roughly 2-3 weeks later than Calgary.
If you haven’t scheduled your 1st or 2nd vaccine, do it today.
Kenney has blood on his hands. God isn’t going to protect those without a double dose of vaccine.
The irony is it’s the Dominionist Christian zealots who are going to pay for Kenney’s FU with their lives or long term health.
But they’re also going to overwhelm our healthcare system this time.
I try to hope it won’t be as bad as India. More people are immunized here.
But it’s going to be bad. And our youth are going to suffer greatly. That includes my eldest. Which breaks my heart.
But he’s 19 and there is little I can do to persuade him to get a vaccine.
I’m fearing the worst. Hoping for the best. Racked with anxiety every moment he’s out.
I don’t know if I can cope with the worst happening without becoming filled with hate.
I can’t believe we have allowed this to occur. I’m still stymied at the lack of political awareness and involvement in Alberta. Delusions are about to burst soon.
A general strike may have prevented this.
I’ve never felt more like a Cassandra than at this moment.
Ignorance is bliss. Because foreknowledge is torture.

While doing some research in Dominionist Christian Twitter, I happened upon a popular blogger, Brad Salzberg and momentarily laughed at his ridiculous articles. Then I noticed how many Dominionists like his articles and amplify them across the nation.
It’s not that I didn’t realize that blatant racist rhetoric appeals to so many Dominionist Christians, it was a surprise that one who combines egregious “Big Lie” rhetoric is openly revered as an authority on PMJT and the Liberal party.
Reading some of his articles (which one must do to assess the veracity and integrity), it becomes apparent that Mr. Salzberg is a one man campaign to malign PMJT and LPC. Yet his articles are shared widely among the devout evangelical Dominionist Christian community.
Again NDP split the progressive vote across the nation. Particularly troubling is Saskatchewan. Combined there is over 50% progressives. And 40% conservative. That’s how conservatives win. Split the vote and win elections with a minority.
Every progressive stronghold has been effectively divided. BC/Territories favour NDP, but plenty of federal Liberals. Well over 50% progressive. Divided by NDP and liberal options, CPC has opportunity to win ridings with less than 30% of supporters.
Alberta predictably favours CPC. Progressives make up 36% of the electorate. If parties were smart, they’d be on the ground registering those who typically don’t vote. CPC over 50% is a mirage. Over 60% of the population does not vote conservative. It’s an untapped voter base.
UCP has ignored the increasing violence towards women in hijabs. Cursory disapproval of these acts of violence is all UCP has offered to date.
Virtuous thoughts and prayers. Not action to reduce the escalating violence.
Until suggesting pepper spray.
In an effort to appear to be responding to calls for greater action from the Muslim community and the public, Madu writes a letter to the federal government requesting laws be removed banning pepper spray.
Again avoiding responsibility for provision of a safe community.
Is that insulting to those propagating this disinformation? Probably. But I’m sick of being insulted everyday by white “allies” who don’t know anything about identity politics, indigenous competition for acknowledgement and truth.
Insult gains attention to an important issue.
Minister Bennett has been a tireless advocate for indigenous people for 24 years. Not just since 2012.
Bennett’s advocacy has been consistent and vocalized since she was first elected to parliament in 1997. So minimizing her contribution is a flag this article is BS.
