Good riddance.
I dont think I have ever seen as much outrage over this and well warranted .

So his Chief of Staff is actually unemployed now.

From what I hear is that many leaders have put out the call have you travelled to get out in front of it. Here on the news they showed a single mom who could not take her child on a Hawaii trip from the Make a Wish Foundation yet Alberta Public figures can. So Far only one person has actually lost their job. The rest just lose cabinet posts are committee positions.

I am not sure how other provinces are doing on Vaccine distribution but here in Alberta its not going well. Premier is hoping to get to 4000 a day which just doesnt get the job done

Any time politicians are in hot water I love it. It's not so much the hypocrisy of travel, but just the fact that politicians and the political class in general are doing so during the pandemic that they can afford to take luxurious vacations. This despite having basically destroyed the economy for ordinary Canadians and prohibited them from fundamental social interactions.

It also gets me how they act like they are doing the right thing with Covid yet in reality they are not. Weather its Federal, Provincial or municipally all that matters is getting re-elected.

Take Alberta's latest lockdown. Its tough its down to 15% fire capacity. Sounds strict but its not.
I was in the following businesses since and
  • Costco Packed
  • Liquor Store 38 maximum
  • Pet Valu 18 Maximum
  • Cobbs 6 Maximum

I asked the Pet store and liquor store Have you ever had that many folks in your store. Both replied Nope. As well at the pet store a family of four was shopping and at Costco so many couples shopping with their kids???

Cobs should be 2 as its tough enough at that to social distance. Yet Hair Salons and Gyms have to close as well as other businesses. A fitness studio here can not do personal training but can go to the persons home to train.

Science has been tossed as well as common sense. I am shocked Alberta's numbers are coming down but other than politicians many folks observed the rules at Christmas

So nice to lead with this lovely shared sentiment that brings us all nodding together in agreement...

I wonder how many other people have committed suicide because of these lockdowns and the decision by politicians to impose martial law over the covid virus.

Martial law? Tf are you talking about martial law. Do you even know what actual martial law is? Let's just throw phrases around bc we like the way they sound.

Yeah, no-one has used martial law in Canada over the Covid-19 virus yet.

But debates over the psychological toll and increase in suicides is legitimate. Due to my work I get in contact with a fair bit of people in the rescue services in my country (not Canada), and the subjective opinion I've seen is that there is indeed a dramatic increase in suicides.

There is a dramatic increase in suicides, domestic abuse and child abuse with lockdowns. I have also heard that divorce on the rise. You are also seeing delays in surgeries and folks not going to emergencies when they should be.
It does not negate the need for some lockdowns
Sadly many government officials can not use Science to explain the lockdowns as they are doing a terrible job at contact tracing so they pick and choose who gets locked down. Sometimes its a $$ decision and I need to get reelected choice

I have to say the most hypocritical travel was by the head that was on the Covid Advisory Panel for JT. He was critical of government, people not following the rules and than travels himself. That is a man that should be fired

Buddy got arrested for walking around outside and not showing his papers to the authorities, how much more martial lawy do you want it to be before we call it what it is? Civil liberties have been suspended. They're imposing curfews. How is it any different?

As mentioned deaths from alcohol and drug overdoses are way up as well. I heard a radio ad the other day asking people to try and not drink alcohol on weekdays. I'd also be curious on the amount of people that have gained weight in the last year, physical activity (gyms) should be considered essential to health and be opened in my opinion. You also have kids that havent been to school, no sports, no rec activities, no birthday parties, no play with other kids etc. and that's going to do a lot damage.

These things all barely get mentioned in the media and are all things that should start being talked about a lot more.

You're right. Idk what papers you're referring to but I sure feel like I'm living in the phillipines circa 1871. All these soldiers walking around demanding my papers and not allowing me to move is really cramping my style. Next we'll have numbers tatted on our arms and be shipped off to internment camps. Bc that's where this is obv going. Canada and martial law go together like pb&j

Ill look at myself I was having two glasses of wine every day . I only gained about 4 lbs over the year. The average is 10-15 Lbs. So all those folks that said Id lose the weight if I had time were full of it

I support lockdowns based on science not on getting elected or big business . When you shut down gyms but leave Mcdonalds open are you really thinking about health

Yes but it spreads in seniors homes just as quick and they are more vulnerable.
No question inmates should be higher up in the que but never ahead of seniors in homes and the medical field or first responders.

It took me all of 2 minutes to see that the vaccination program for the priority groups you mention started before Christmas, with thousands in Sask having already received the vaccine, while prisoners (not even many prisoners, initially just 600 doses across the entire country) only started getting them yesterday. The article is a complete non-story.
