In case you haven't been paying attention through the pandemic, if you live in Alberta, you are completely on your own to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from COVID. Yes, we have the opportunity to get vaccinated. No, there has been no real leadership on this. 1/11

There has been an offering of frivolous prizes you could win if you got vaccinated. No, the government is not going to give us any sort of proof that we have been vaccinated, other than sheets of paper which may or may not be recognized in other jurisdictions. 2/11

Kenney is so wound up with trying to please his backwards-thinking, anti-science, anti-vax base, and his corporate donors, that he has no time for, or interest in, public health. Now it seems than AHS has been fudging the numbers. There is no significant contact tracing. 3/11

Soon masks will not be required on public transit. Or in cabs. They are already optional in stores and restaurants. And they are dropping the need to quarantine for those who test positive! Yes. You read that right. You have COVID? OK, fine, Just go about your business. 4/11

Go out to parties, grocery stores, work, bars, gyms, whatever. Send you child with COVID to daycare or school where there are lots of unvaccinated children. Everyone under 12, actually. It's fine... 5/11

Who does this? This is like the chicken pox parties people used to have back in the day, & the thing is, there are "crossover" cases. Meaning the people who did everything right, got their vaccines, can still catch the Delta variant. Even mild cases can turn into long-COVID. 6/11

And they will be catching it from assholes who didn't care enough about anyone but themselves to get vaccinated or to take preventative measures.

Yes. I am angry. Kenney and the UCP have to go. 7/11

Before they kill us all and replace us with temporary foreign workers who will harvest Alberta's natural resources for lower, even more exploitative wages.

I can't think of any other excuse for a government being so negligent about public health and the public good. 8/11

They are trying to dismantle our healthcare system by taking a sledgehammer to those who have carried us through the pandemic. Wage rollbacks, layoffs, contract disputes... Bringing in the private for-profit health care industry during a pandemic? 9/11

Who does that? Certainly not a government that has any interest in the public good. Not a government that feels any duty of care towards its citizens. Who does that? Not humans with any sense of responsibility, compassion, empathy... 10/11

The UCP have to go. Our lives, our elders' lives, our children's' lives, depend on it. 11/11
