Re: Alberta
Hmmmm....doesn't sound like Kenny is all that apologetic but then that's the conservatives for you....doubling down on a BAD decision.
Calgary to take own measures to act on COVID-19 crisis, saying province 'doesn't care'
It's too bad for Alberta, the UCP are in charge, Albertans deserve better .....I'm sure Rachel Notley would have handled the Covid situation a heck of a lot better than the Conservative government that will I'm sure will get the boot come the next election.
Calgary to take own measures to act on COVID-19 crisis, saying province 'doesn't care'
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ ... -1.6177726Alberta less than 10 days away from running out of ICU beds, premier said Wednesday......
As well, doctors were being told to prepare to make life-or-death decisions as to which patients will be able to access interventions like ventilators.
"Regardless of the politics and the ideology and the endless lurching back and forth like a Stampede ride that we're hearing from the province, your city government is here for you … and we'll continue to do what it takes to get us out of this," Nenshi said, following city council's last meeting of the session late Wednesday evening........
But beyond apologizing for prematurely treating the pandemic as endemic, the premier largely stood by decisions his government made in July to drop public health measures for the summer and not reintroduce them until after cases, hospitalizations and deaths were snowballing.
"I'm having a hard time articulating … what I just heard from a dumpster fire of a press conference," Coun. Druh Farrell said when Calgary city council's meeting resumed after the provincial announcement. "I'm tired of asking for permission from a province that truly doesn't care."
One action the mayor suggested was for the city to partner with local pharmacies to bring mobile vaccination buses to locations like train stations to lower barriers to access. He added that Alberta Health leadership previously mocked him for suggesting a pop-up vaccine clinic be set up during the Calgary Stampede in July.
"It's clear that Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services have abandoned targeted vaccination efforts except for one bus in all of Alberta," Nenshi said in a scrum following the meeting.

Re: Alberta
Bad news for Kenny. Albertans are finally accepting the facts that Canadians already knew. Kenny is an imbecile that murdered people with his July 1st release of the hounds. And now boomers were bumped from the front of the line for surgeries by covid cases. I wonder if the boomer demographic in Alberta regrets their decision to vote for him in droves?

It's that special time of year when conservatives stupidly act like they're not allowed to say Merry Christmas.

I was listening to the radio on the drive into town and it sounded like the question about Kenney leaving office is not one of "if", but one of "when".

Albertans have come down from the euphoria of Harper style conservatism in Alberta. Now Albertans know what the rest of Canada knew about Kenny. That he is a clown.

Not your father's tall-in-the-saddle Alberta anymore. Municipal election day in Alberta. New Edmonton mayor: Amarjeet Sohi. New Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek. By the way, Amarjeet Sohi is a former federal LIBERAL cabinet minister.

By the way, Jyoti Gondek is taking over for Naheed Nenshi (gay muslim man) who was Calgary's mayor for 11 years.bob vernon wrote: ↑Oct 18th, 2021, 8:46 pm Not your father's tall-in-the-saddle Alberta anymore.

It's odd that some people (those outside of Alberta) are just now figuring out that they've been perpetuating a stereotype for all these years. There are people who think of themselves as enlightened, yet hate people from Alberta based solely on their own ignorance.
I s'pose I should be happy that one more person has realized their mistake instead of questioning what took so long for them to realize it.
Alberta's an awesome province. Albertans are awesome people.
