He didn’t send the letter requesting help until today. September 21, 2021.
So he wouldn’t impact O’Toole’s electoral chances any more than he already had by ordering extremely inadequate covid restrictions.
Twenty nine people died today.
29.
You voted for this.
You enabled O’Toole to continue campaigning even today.
Complaining about the cost of the $600M election during a pandemic.
Do you think the 29 people who died in the last 24 hours because Kenney stalled asking for help were not worth $600M?
What about the people who have died in the last week?
How about their grieving families who have lost a loved one because Kenney didn’t want you to know how his policies have created an uncontrolled outbreak amongst the very people O’Toole relied on from Alberta to vote CPC?
Do you have any remorse knowing you thought only about yourself and your own needs and desires? Feeding your hatred for a leader and party who called an election the day before Kenney was going to remove all mitigation and all information about covid?
Do you feel anything?
To the sassy rude communist who wants to burn down the Canadian political system and venerates a WW1 German Revolution insurrectionist, do you not realize that all those people who died have families, friends, loved ones?
Or is your political cause so important that these people don’t matter?
To Cindy Blackstock and Jagmeet Singh, were the lies you spread about LPC suing FN children & ignoring on reserve water safety worth the lives of the people who died this week so you could smear LPC & PMJT?
Were the NDP votes inspired by those lies more valuable than the people who have died since Kenney unleashed unmitigated Delta covid on Albertans? What about the people who developed long covid? Lives forever altered so O’Toole could attend Stampede & NDP could grow support.
Are conservative and left progressive voters so callous that $600M is more important to them than the Albertans who’ve been infected, became ill, been hospitalized and those who have died? Most of them are rural or small town citizens. The ones who typically vote conservative.
Or is the just reward knowing the residents of Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer essentially have no healthcare for god knows how long? Because there are no beds. There are no staff for the newly opened surge ICU beds. If we have an emergency we’re SOL. Left to die or suffer.
What about the children getting sick? Two rural schools have been shut down because of covid outbreaks in rural Alberta. Within days ICUs will be so full children will be left to die because there are no beds or staff or equipment to help them until they recover.
Children. Triaging children.
Because you desired a conservative or NDP MP and to depose the legitimate authority the plural majority prefers.
Children will be triaged and HCWs will be forced to select which children are worthy of saving and which will be allowed to die.
I’m traumatized by the numbers of people who refuse to recognize charlatans, demagogues and populist gaslighters.
Trump tortured babies in cages. Kenney and UCP, and by seeking to campaign & raise his profile before an election was called, O’Toole, have created this atrocity.
And you voted for that. Really! How?!
The left progressives rationalize their proliferation of propaganda to achieve their demands for immediate relief from poverty, discrimination, xenophobia, misogyny.
Well you got it. Albertans are dying. Their children will be dying too.
Does it feel good to eliminate your perceived enemies & their children? So you could gain 1-2 extra seats in parliament?
As an Albertan and a voter who used to consider NDP a viable option, I’m devastated so many thoughtless, careless, callous & remorseless progressives exist.
I don’t care if you like that I’m calling you out.
I don’t even care if you feel any empathy or sympathy.
But you don’t get to call yourselves progressive when your behaviour sacrifices other peoples lives for your political objectives & ambitions.
I don’t care how justified you feel that winning at any cost is for the greater good. It isn’t.
There is nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that justifies the gaslighting, the lies, the fake scandals, the dirty tricks & the dead & dying people because you want more political power.
And to the anti statist LandBack First Nations. Two wrongs don’t make it right. You can’t avenge genocide by creating another. You just become the evil you supposedly despise.
The avarice displayed to keep all resources and profits within the FN community is repugnant.
I’ve experienced poverty. My first memory is being so hungry I climbed up on the counter to get the ice cubes in the freezer to suck on and assuage my hunger. I was 2.5 years old.
That experience was permanently etched on my brain. I can’t forget it even if I tried.
I couldn’t wake my hungover parents up. I waited for what seemed like hours.
My mother married a cruel, sadistic and uncaring white man. I don’t forgive my broken and malevolent father. But I don’t hold his egoism and sociopathy against every white person.
I don’t justify cruel and selfish behaviour because I had a hard life, difficult circumstances and disadvantages dealt to me at birth. Negligent self centred parents being one of them.
But seeking revenge is unconscionable and you should seek help to heal those wounds.
I had a brother murdered, another in an abusive relationship, my mother lose her dignity and mental health, my niece and nephew physically abused by their white mother, apprehended and both develop substance abuse to cope. But there is still no excuse to hate and seek revenge.
There is no excuse to bring hate into this world. And you can never have self respect by hurting others.
Your hidden agenda hurts many. Learn to cope with your losses. Stop trying to reclaim the past. We can’t go back. We can only stagnate or move forward.
You do not have my permission, nor the permission of many other indigenous people, to restrict reconciliation to only FN status and make life and death decisions because you personally have suffered from genocide, discrimination or experienced hatred.
Stop lying. Stop gaslighting Canadians who don’t know any better. Stop pretending you aren’t partnered with those who want to destroy this nation. Your lies have destroyed Alberta. You’ve done enough damage.
People are dying.
The ENDS do not justify the MEANS.

It bothers me that these young people were exposed to disinformation and unfortunately believe false information. Some may pay with their lives. Others may have symptoms for the rest of their life.
But what bothers me more are the number of people who have dehumanized these youth and wish them harm or consider their admission to hospital just desserts for their stupidity.
That really bothers me.
I witness people who have abandoned all compassion and all empathy and cheer for the illness of these foolish and gullible people who tried to protect themselves the way they’ve been told is an appropriate method to develop natural immunity.
I am perplexed how smart, compassionate left progressives rationalize and characterize the constant smears, lies and negative campaigning Singh does against LPC and specifically PMJT as “kind leadership”. Kindness is lying constantly?
Every day during the campaign we heard Singh denigrate LPC for some cherry picked half truth or blatant lie. Bragging about “fighting” for you. Misrepresenting the significance of his role as the balance of power.
Taking credit for every action LPC took and blaming LPC for every setback. Promising impossible to deliver outcomes that he will never be held accountable for to deliver. Because NDP is in 4th place & has little ability to influence committees where real policy work is done.
My mother developed full blown bipolar disorder at around age 35. It went untreated until I dragged her (literally) into the University Hospital Psychiatric walk in clinic to have her diagnosed when she was 50.
Fifteen years of medically untreated mental illness and several years of instability before that. At first I thought she was just an alcoholic. She drank herself to oblivion frequently. Her symptoms worsened over the years. Delusional when manic. Almost catatonic when depressed.
Alberta is mere days away from triaging children. Allowing kids to die because O’Toole campaigned at Stampede BEFORE the election was called. And it’s not just CPC. There are multitudes of complicit actors. It is disgusting!
@PaulDoroshenko In case people are having trouble putting the dots together because they are so disturbing…
Kenney delayed asking for federal assistance until after the election which not only filled ICU to 170% capacity, but is soon to impact PICU capacity, requiring triage of children.
@PaulDoroshenko The gaslighting, disinformation, smears, fake scandals and lies offered by CPC, NDP, GPC and an anti statist faction of vocal FN which many believe speak for all indigenous people (they don’t) have contributed to this outcome.
No disrespect Ms Thomas, but the answer to what happened has already been answered. What Albertans are going to do about it is the question that needs to be asked.
Jason Kenney has a long history in politics. He attempted to gain a theology degree, but that didn’t work out. His youthful political activism included soliciting the Pope to sanction his university’s priests for permitting women to speak freely on campus about abortion rights.
He was also central in blocking gay men’s partners from visiting them in San Francisco hospitals during the beginning of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980’s.
After leaving college, he became the contact for Canadian Taxpayers Assoc. Then moved onto join the Reform Party in 1987.
