🧵 For the morons in Alberta who want to bring back masks, here's some real science. Below are two screenshots of the Alberta Health "Severe outcomes" tab . Left is the latest (Nov 7), and right is start of current school year (Aug 29). 1/

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
During the last 3 months, 810,648 kids 5-19 year-old have been in school with no masks.

During that time 49 were admitted to hospital with COVID. Of these, 6 ended up in ICU and none died.

2/
alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
During that time period, a total of 2,103 Albertans ended up in hospital. Of those, 1,335 (64%) were folks over the age of 70. That cohort is over 85% triple boosted and over 95% double boosted. That group doesn't move about a whole lot in the winter. 3/

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
Hospital admissions (line) always increase after Alberta rolls out a vaccine campaign. 4th dose is red dots. Draw your own conclusions. We have more people in hospital with COVID than during the first 4 waves, and 80%+ are vaxxed and over 70 yrs. 4/

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
Outbreaks in long-term care facilities are on the rise, despite an internal population that is 95% vaccinated (including staff), masks mandates and other extra precautions. Masks don't work. 5/

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
Trudeau and other politicians told us that the way out of this scamdemic was through vaccination, and proceeded to ostracize those of us who didn't comply. We knew early on that this was a disease of the old and weak. 6/
We can't continue to destroy the lives & livelihoods of millions over an endemic diseases. We certainly can't continue to allow politicians and bureaucrats to trample our rights and freedom. Masks never worked. They are just a way to control us. The 2 weeks is up. Back to normal
COVID, like the flu, is an endemic disease that mutates annually. Most of us just suffer for a few days and let our immune system do what it has evolved to do. Statistics clearly show that for most of us, COVID is 99.6% survivable.

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
I truly & honestly believe that the data shows that those who have taken 2,3 & 4 mRNA vaccines in the last 16 months have harmed their immune system. AB is on track for almost 1,900 COVID deaths in '22. We're 3 years into the pandemic, & things are worse. alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…

Live updates on the Alberta NDP leadership debate in Lethbridge.

So far it feels like a meeting of the Assembly of First Nations. We've had the obligatory land acknowledgment and now we're listening to a Blackfoot Elder deliver the opening prayer.

Weirdly, the person introducing him acknowledged that he got paid an honorarium and a few packs of cigarettes).

1/Image
Opening statement by Gill McGowan is all about winning over more people to the NDP. We need to be "More Tim Horton and Less Starbuck".

2/ Image
Sarah Hoffman. I'm big and I'm sassy. I've won 5 times and I'm unapologetic about being a NDP member.

🧵Why recall Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek?

1) She increased this year's property taxes by a whopping 7.8%, when Calgarians can already barely make ends meet, while at the same time giving herself a personal raise.

1/ Image
2) She promoted 'defunding the police' by reducing the policing budget by $20 million and now crime in Calgary is at an all-time high. People are scared to ride the LRT.

2/ Image
Her first act after getting elected was to declare a "climate emergency" with an $85 billion taxpayer price tag, even though she never campaigned on that, and Calgary's major industry is energy.

This graph shows the Alberta Government's annual budget (blue) vs. actual spent for the last 23 years.

The government went from $17.7 billion in 2000 to $68.3 billion in 2023.

The grey line is our population grown over the same time period, plotted with the same axis ratio, so that the relative slopes are correct.

Data from the government's annual reports


1/alberta.ca/government-and…Image
Annual inflation for that time period averaged 2.18% per year. In other words, the 2023 budget of $68.3 billion, outpaced the inflation adjusted budget of $29.1 billion (see table below) by more than 2:1.

Keep in mind that governments in Canada are amongst the biggest contributors to inflation. If our governments kept spending and borrowing under control, inflation could easily be less than 1.5% annually.



2/bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/…Image
The population during that time period went from 3 million to 4.5 million, a 50% increase, or roughly 2% per year.

to recap; inflation & population growth increased by 4.2% annually over the last 23 years, but the budget increased by 12.4% annually.

Government spending in Alberta is outpacing inflation and population by a factor of 3:1

Canada's carbon tax scam.

This is a plot of Canada's per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions up to 2021. Emissions peaked 18.5 tonnes/person in 2000, and have been in decline ever since.

Under Harper, Canada's emissions dropped to 15.5 tonnes/person. That's a 16.2% reduction in 10 years, down to pre-1970 levels.

Trudeau introduced his carbon tax in 2016, and it's fair to say that it did nothing for 3 years. The reduction that occurred in 2020 and 2021 is entirely due to COVID and the slow down in the economy. Canada's emissions currently sit at 14.3 t/yr/person, and are increasing slightly.

Trudeau's plan calls for an increase in the carbon tax rate to a whopping $170/tonne by 2030. It's currently set at $65/t. An individual that emits 10 tonnes/year would still face a $1,700 tax bill in 2030.

1/

Image
No other country gets more revenue from a carbon tax than Canada does.

Last year the Federal government collected an estimated $5.4 billion in Carbon tax.

Note: That's the equivalent of a 1% GST

Last year the tax was $50/tonne. It increased to $65/tonne this past April.

It's set to increase by $15/tonne/year until 2023.

2024 $80/tonne of CO2
2025 $95/tonne
2026 $110/tonne
2027 $125/tonne
2028 $140/tonne
2029 $155/tonne

By 2030 Canadians will be paying $170 per tonne of emission of an invisible, odorless, unreactive gas that is essential for life on this planet.

Remember the joke about "selling ice to Eskimos"? Well guess what folks?

2/
 Image
Canada's share of Global CO2 emissions is decreased from 1.67% in 2010 to 1.47% in 2021.

Most of our apparent reduction is because other nations (like China & India) are increasing faster than us, so our share keeps getting smaller.

Are we seriously going to tax ourselves to death and destroy our economy just so we can reduce our global share to from 1.47% to 1% ??

Weekly deaths in Alberta are still trending higher than statistically expected. Here's data up to Sept 2, 2023. (updated Nov 9, 2023). The orange line is the number of weekly expected deaths. This fluctuates, and usually goes down in the summer months. The blue line is the actual number of weekly deaths. Between 60-85 Albertans more than normal are dying every week. That's a 10-12% increase since the COVID vaccine roll out.

1/

Image
Here's the same data, but I plotted "actual" minus "expected", which is excess deaths. The trend has been going up for 2 years. That's after we rolled out the vaccine. What's causing an extra 80 people to die every week in Alberta? Draw your own conclusions.

P.S. It's not COVID, long-COVID or heat pumps.

2/
 Image
COVID vaccine uptake this campaign is much lower than previous campaigns. Less than 35% of those over the age of 70 have received a COVID booster. It falls off dramatically for younger Albertans. It's less than 10% for everyone under the age of 40.

🧵A short primer on thermodynamics and why heat pumps don't actually work when it's -10C in Canada.

I'm going to keep this very simple.

Below are two objects of identical mass and identical composition. The two objects are in a perfectly heat isolating medium.

I'm going to bring the objects together so that they touch.

1/
 Image
The two objects are now touching. I'm going to leave them like that for a few hours, until they reach an equilibrium.

2/ Image
After a while, the two blocks will both be at 20C.

The total amount of heat in the system was preserved.
