I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.
But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

The most fascinating part of Guthrie’s resignation letter is he’s basically telling us all the Premier is a liar, without saying the word “liar”.
He makes it clear he has come forward with concerns several times, over the course of months, only to be ignored.
The Premier knew.

H5N1 is showing signs of adapting to humans with recent mutations (A134V, N182K, E186D) enhancing its ability to bind to human-like α2-6 receptors in the upper respiratory tract.
This raises serious concerns about the virus’s potential to become more transmissible among humans.

When governments brush aside evidence it not only leads to bad and ill-informed polices but it also helps to legitimize pseudoscience. It degrades the value of science, rational deliberation, & critical thinking.
