- If I die in a hospital tent in a parking lot during a January cold snap, I’m going to come back and haunt everyone responsible.
- A family with 2 kids under 18 and a household income of $175,000 will get $1200. A couple in their late 60s earning $175,000 will get $1200. A single person between 18 and 64 earning $30,000 will get nothing, unless they are an AISH recipient.
- The font size here says everything you need to know about which voters the government is trying to appeal to.
- Imagine holding together a provincial health system through a COVID surge that was the direct result of government inaction, and then being fired six months later.
- Imagine admiring Winston Churchill your whole life and then, at a moment of crisis, doing nothing and hiding from the public.
- It sounds like Alberta is having trouble using its AstraZeneca. Lower the minimum age; Gen X can help!
- Just catching up with the news of the day. If I understand it correctly, we're 2 1/2 years into a global pandemic, and we've just found out the Chief Medical Officer of Health read the Public Health Act incorrectly. Awesome.
- It would be the most Alberta thing ever to ditch a premier who led a terrible COVID response and replace him with someone who doesn’t believe in medical science at all.
- Danielle Smiths ability to say things that aren’t true with great conviction is a tremendous asset in this debate.
