Hi. Q+A with Premier Danielle Smith: #ableg
Q: You said you, staff, and ministers didn't break any rules attending events and hockey games, particularly Oilers. If there were no rules broken, can you share with us how many games you, staff, and ministers attended and who hosted? A: "I can share mine, because every MLA has a direct relationship with the Ethics Commissioner. I don't ask to see the reportings. I have an expectation that they are going to follow all the rules. As you know the rules require disclosure for certain different ticket prices.

Hi. Let's talk about why the number of new daily infections matter. Come, walk with me. Alberta announced 364 new cases of COVID-19 today. Record high. Sure, very few, if any, of these people will die. Few, if any, will be hospitalized. That's great! But all -- every single one of them -- are supposed to be isolating. And their close contacts must be isolating.
