I'm still exactly 100% this person, I apologize for none of it and I'm just as confused as I've ever been about just what team many of y'all think *you're* on. All I can do is shake my damned head some days. The whiskey helps. /7
Just imagine having gone through all this LESS THAN A YEAR AGO and then setting Alberta up for the EXACT SAME DEADLY STUPID FAILURE. Somehow this man, his party, their recklessness/stupidity keeps managing to surprise me /8 #abpoli#cdnpoli#ableg#yyc
Do you have any idea how tired I am drawing pictures of easily predictable disasters for the insane crayon-wielders in charge of this province? Of course you do. It doesn't take anything special to predict this stuff. It's ridiculously simple but here we go again 🤡🙄/9
Same predictable results. Same dumb excuses. Same lies. Same lame strawman arguments. Same hiding behind Hinshaw. You name it. We've lived it and we get to live through the whole damned dumb thing all over again in even slower motion than last time. Goddamned exhausted. Numb. /10
Grocery store mask-use dropping to spring 2020 levels, ~ 1 in 20. I can only marvel. I've not yet come to terms with a central realization of the Covid age: a great many of us can't be bothered with our *own* wellbeing let alone anybody else's. I'm just gonna keep maskin' /11
You're gonna OWN those numbers @PierrePoilievre. You're going to ask all of Canada to be their Prime Minister (not just your base & not just your party) & our 1st question back to you'll be "how many of us have you killed already?" Canada is WAY MORE than your dazed bozo base /15
Friends don't let friends mindlessly share propaganda that enables power-mad, murderous dictators. Wherever you see the RT icon get it taken down. #FreeUkraine
Canada's "Conservatives" have been carrying Putin's water for years. Useful idiots at best, though there can be no doubt that some have taken money directly, just like their American counterparts /2 #cdnpoli
If Trump is Putin's puppet what does that make @candicebergen? (Hint: nothing good). That said, so far Canada's "Conservatives" aren't openly praising Putin like their U.S. counterparts are, indeed they're proposing counter-measures vs Russia. Nice to see but will it last? /3
They say "you can't fight City Hall" but of course you can & whether it's City Hall, the Alberta Legislature or Parliament Hill if the cause is right, your strategy is solid and your numbers are good, YOU'LL ACTUALLY WIN EVERY TIME.
That's right, I said it: you'll actually win every time. That's Science. /2 bbc.com/future/article…
Yesterday some of us were hearing rumblings. Maybe an emergency cabinet session amongst Kenney & his henchmen & henchwomen (henchpeople?). If they were meeting they were meeting over Covid. They *had* to be /3
Whole world knows Canada's shame today. Cynical political leaders will call for a "blue ribbon panel" to "get to the bottom of this" so it sounds like they're doing something. The panel'll be under-funded & ignored, which is fine because the WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE #cdnpoli
The work's already been done, 94 #CallsToAction made & this work has been largely ignored by Canadians & its leaders. As it relates to Missing Children & Burial Information there are 6 very specific, eminently sensible & humane recommendations #cdnpoli /2 trc.ca/assets/pdf/Cal…
#71 is just calling for the data we already know exists to be forwarded to the appropriate agency, that it can no longer remain stubbornly sat on by repeated generations of bad government actors who would prefer to keep hidden the exact details of one of Canada's worst secrets /3
Nobody likes lockdowns but you can't say they don't work. In Alberta we lived through the proof of it. The failure lies in what sectors we choose to reopen & when & in not adopting a #ZeroCovid strategy like some much smarter places have adopted, saving lives & economies. THREAD
If it feels like our leaders don't know what they're doing it's because they don't but you can't blame that on lockdowns. There's no avoiding lockdowns when our hospitalization numbers rapidly approach a rate our hospitals can't manage. Other jurisdictions aren't failing. /2
I tried to share this article with a "Conservative" friend who assured me we had to do things the way we did or our economy would fail. When I told him that just wasn't factually accurate he refused to read it & the chat ended in acrimony. Okay then. /3 thetyee.ca/News/2021/04/0…
