At the last moment/too late, Jason Kenney and the UCP did the bare minimum they possibly could to get some control on the COVID cataclysm in Alberta. And they may actually have put more people at risk because you can easily alter the vaccination cards.

This is lulling people into what may be a false sense of security. If you go somewhere and they are asking for vaccine cards to enter, people may feel safe. But are they? Are they really? 2/7
Or are they just letting their guard down around a what may be a bunch of unvaccinated people with fake cards? Transmission with Delta is faster, and also more pre-symptomatic. 3/7
People may feel safe going to a sporting event or restaurant with their unvaccinated children, they may be inclined to reduce distancing, but a false assurance of safety is in some ways worse than no assurance. 4/7
Why did the UCP do this? Some speculate that it was to appease their anti-vax supporters. "We're making it look like we're cracking down, but you can get around it easily. No real restrictions!" 5/7
Of course, it could be that they were just completely unprepared and no one in the UCP had any clue about how easy these would be to fake. But we have known for a week now that the cards are forgeable, and they have done nothing to fix this problem. 6/7
Either way, this measure is a sham. Someone having a card does not mean they are vaccinated. There is no protection to be found in these vaccination cards.
So we have two possibilities here. Either the UCP is a malicious government, or an incompetent one.
