Premier Kenney of Alberta is offering $100 for people to be vaccinated.

Last edited Sun Sep 5, 2021, 12:03 AM - Edit history (1)

About 3 weeks ago his Conservative government said those who were covid positive could walk around in public infecting others. There was an outcry. They backed down. Now Alberta is the hotbed of Covid in Canada. Kenney hid for the three weeks. Why the change to fighting the coronavirus? Federal conservatives and federal liberals are running neck and neck in the federal election. Yesterday conservative premier of Ontario Ford announced vaccine passports. So they are feigning liberalism and caring about the public suddenly. I hope Trudeau wipes the floor with Conservative Otoole during the debates next week. Kenney still is not demanding kids wear masks in schools.

That made no sense whatsoever to drop the mask mandate. Probably would have had a lot of work refusals from public transit workers if it went through.

Still, the stupidity of even entertaining the idea of no masks on transit during a 4th wave...

Gee I wonder why the case count is going up. Kenny has been a disaster for the province, even before covid. He is the Ron DeSantis of the north. Disgusting piece of shit. Only 65% vaccinated. He offered 3 -$1 million dollar lotteries for July, Aug and Sept for fully vaccinated people. So far I have heard no more about it, not sure who won the July or Aug draws.

Khmer-Rouge-Kenney has no use for advice from health authorities, medical professionals, or any other of those "academic types". I'm guessing he only started pretending to care because the majority of Canadians are pro-science and he was starting to lose political points.

Ontario's not far behind though. We have Dunning-Kruger-Dougie. Ontario - in second place by a nose!
