Watching the Covid update on Facebook because the notification came up first. The batshit signal must've shone brightly today, holy hell.
"You said no vax passes - what's next concentration camps?"
"I'm not vaxxed and never will be. You better not step on my land because you won't be exiting it."
"I can't wait to see you hang!"
"Agenda 21/30 is being enacted more every day."
"Your [sic] going to jail."
"That child did not die of Covid - that baby was tested and denied proper care."
"Leave the kids alone! They have zero risks from covid!"
"All about money... GREESY [sic]"
"No info from Pfizer til 2070 on this experiment. Why is that?"
"Clinics are not reporting adverse effects"
"Leave the kids alone - it's been two years, kids don't get sick!"
"Theater [sic] at its finest. Actors asking questions of actors."
"I'd like hear ENGLISH" (haha)
"Who needs this is French? We're in Alberta!!"
"Two years saying kids are not vectors and now they are??? LIARS!!"

RMA - whoops - Rural Municipalities of Alberta.
I wouldn't make y'all watch that :)
He thanked everyone for being in touch with their communities every single day - and he would know what it's like not to be, for sure.
“Alberta continues to take extraordinary measures to control the spread of the virus,” says UofA President Bill Flanagan.
I actually can’t tell if that was a troll - it was delivered expertly.
Money for universities is good news though. Especially for science. #ableg
This update is on $20M for the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation, applied virology institute.
It’s rather uplifting to hear the gains they’ve been making in research and development in HepC vaccines. I lost a cousin to that a year ago yesterday🥲
Dr. Houghton says they’re working to make Alberta, and the UofA a “globally competitive site for biotechnology” and says that is possible through support from the government.

The black armband view of history: Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey described views of history such that "much of [pre-multicultural] Australian history had been a disgrace" and focused mainly on the treatment of minority groups (especially Aboriginals) #ableg#abpoli
"The expression 'black armband view of history' has been used to describe a brand of Australian history which its critics argue 'represents a swing of the pendulum from a position that had been too favourable, too self congratulatory'." aph.gov.au/About_Parliame…
Jason Kenney's live on FB with Adriana LaGrange.#ableg#abpoli#abed
JK: This is moving away from inquiry learning and a return to basic skills, a return to phonics which were banned in some curriculums.
AL: I heard from a parent this weekend who said why are they learning like 18 different ways to do math? Can they not just learn the easiest way?
Q: how will this curriculum transition to core values?
AL: we are looking to ensure we build the strong foundation in K-6 then 7-10
JK: And these will transition into later grades but we start with earlier grades?
AL: Yes JK, we're building 7-10 now and that will be introduced in 2022.
Q: Indigenous content?
JK: there's more. We've introduced black history in Alberta, and Asian history.
