Lmaooo watching the Danielle Smith presser and she says that a “made in Alberta” carbon tax should have always been the goal.
Uhhh it was. @RachelNotley had it working quite well and then the UCP threw it away for the federal option. Hmm. Funny that.
I swore I wasn’t going to watch this tire fire but here are some more highlights:
- Kenney has yet to accept a meeting with Smith
- Smith is getting rid of Hinshaw, she’s currently still employed but will be replaced so we can treat Covid like the flu

Propaganda on both sides of this conflict all over Twitter today - yes even the side we must support for humanitarian reasons.
Keep your wits the same way you would locally, because cute cats get likes and retweets even when held by literal proud armband wearing NeoNazis. 👇
In addition: There was a report yesterday that the Russians bombed a children's cancer centre. It was all over my timeline, but I haven't seen it reported by one trusted international news source.

Sigh. Here we go. Kenney is up.
Look, I honestly am not going to do a very good job on this today. I normally set a high bar for myself and try to copy things down word for word but I can't today... I just can't.
Kenney goes over places that have lifted restrictions - countries, states, Sask, Quebec.
He says that cases have dropped steadily from 7000 to 2000 a day.
Probably because they're testing so few people. Like legit at the most 10,000 tests lately.

Hey this is the first time I've heard about this.
I watched the video. Main takeaway: the former cop who didn't want to get vaccinated doesn't understand the Charter.
Also, upon searching for more info do you know what the Constable was previously known for?
I bet you can guess!
That's right. The RCMP Constable was previously known for RACISM! Really gross disgusting court-recorded and investigated racism that ended with the death of an Indigenous man in 2008. @antihateca yukon-news.com/news/police-an…

AB Covid wknd update:
Sun: 1123 new cases (32% positivity)
Sat: 1388 new cases (29% positivity)
Fri: 2106 new cases (33% positivity)
*All based on PCR tests only*
1542 in hospital
118 in ICU
39 deaths
Case numbers are going down because they are testing about 1/4 of testing capacity.
Positivity percentage is slightly lower but still hovering around the 30%. Which will be called a good thing except those folks getting PCR tests are at a higher risk and take more precautions.

Quick thread coming…
I just saw a reply on a tweet by @JanisIrwin where she was expressing condolences for the 26 Covid deaths in Alberta over the last 24 hours. The reply said the same old thing of “let’s all move on and anyone over 65 or sick can stay home”.
We have all heard that rhetoric for the past 2 years. It’s extremely hurtful to anyone with medical conditions or (obviously) anyone over 65. But sure let’s say we “lock up” those with pre-existing conditions or over 65. The rest of us can just move on and live our lives, right?

For the love of everything good stop talking to the restaurant lobby that has been wanting no restrictions since the start.
The “Alberta Hospitality Association” was formed solely to go against health restrictions at the start of the pandemic. From all I can see they do not care about the health of their employees or their customers. It’s all political garbage.

Kenney seems to think the end of vaccine passports will be some huge win. Why? 79% of us are vaccinated. Many people I know still don’t feel confident about going to restaurants. As Hinshaw has repeated, “no matter where you go at least one person there will have Covid.”
Many Albertans feel an extra sense of security and confidence going to a restaurant because they know everyone around them is vaccinated. Could they still get Omicron? Possibly. But the chance and severity is reduced.
