Alberta Premier Danielle Smith contacts. I’m sure she’d like our messages asking her to resign.

I appreciate folks following the breadcrumb trail and not trying to jump to conclusions, but I’m not bound by those rules and I think “a media toady nuking a story about American concentration camps” is pretty self-explanatory

Quite apart from the misinterpreted and poorly presented science that will continue to get some of his readers killed or disabled, I’d like to point out another glaring factual error.
People that wear masks did not and do not refuse to enter society. Society refuses to accept mask wearers.

I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding Covid and only breathing ‘clean’ air
‘Refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic is absolutely violent and it’s undeniably participating in social murder.’

It’s hard not to be disillusioned and deeply disappointed in some people, who were my business hero’s, who have just accepted that what’s happening down south is ok because it’s supposedly good for the economy.

As AB stops notifying us of covid outbreaks, the hospital system is falling apart.
Rural: good chance of an ER open only 8-5, no OR, no/limited OB.
In town: wait times of 6-10 hours
EVERYWHERE: measles, covid, flu, etc.
