  1. But your entire lifestyle has been based on ‘abstract political principles’! Don’t stop now…

  2. Our politicians need to go. Imagine if the virus was actually deadly (more than 0.1% lethality rate). They have completely botched the job and it shows how incompetent they really are.

    1. Go volunteer as a porter at hospital. Let’s see how strong your convictions truly are Susan!!

    2. 0.1% doesnt sound like much until you apply it to a large number , like the entire population . Do you realize how many dead that equals out of the entire population not to mention the amount who end up with serious lifelong health issues after Covid ?

  3. “abstract political principles” don’t stop covid-19. I couldn’t agree more. Also, I have two sisters whose names are Florida and Texas. They seem pretty credible to me.

    1. Incresed solar radiation down south. The same will occur in the north, just give it a month or so

    2. @Rusty Shackleford Go volunteer/ work as porter at the hospital. U have literally no clue what u are talking abt but will grandstand on here. LOL

  4. Jason Kenney on anti-lockdown sentiment: ‘Abstract political principles’ don’t stop COVID-19

    I have an abstract idea, how about I send you a box to pack up your stuff Kenney? I voted for you…

    The election is not far off.

    1. @Jonathan Edward I’m “pushing” for common sense…This is now a numbers game of ‘new cases’.
      What happened to the 3.4% death rate which was predicted back in March of 2020?

    2. @Mr. M4N 0.1% doesnt sound like much until you apply it to a large number , like the entire population . Do you realize how many dead that equals out of the entire population not to mention the amount who end up with serious lifelong health issues after Covid ?
      Are u volunteering as tribute?
      Not to mention when 2 variants mutating into 1 new one. U are approaching this like understand the virus. U do not which is why u are so arrogant asserting ” common sense” when u have not provided (1) logical argument.

  5. Once everyone in Parliament and the Legislature drops their income to 2000 a month, then I’ll take them seriously. As if any of them commiserate with the general population while this entire time their six-figure salaries have been untouched. Between this goof and the crayon eater in Rideau Hall I’m at my wits end lol

  6. OMG. He’s using buzzphrases to tell Alberta off. GFY Kenney. You are a disgrace.

  7. Shame on Kenney, blackmailing Alberta’s. The GOV shouldn’t be running healthcare. They are completely incompetent.

    1. When u put a lawyer in place as the Health Minister in order to gut the system what can u expect!
      I guess u chose to leave out that detail. LOL

  8. “We’ve done everything we can to expand the capacity of that healthcare system” – Yeah. Ok.

    1. @Devin Forbes All other developed countries have privatized healthcare. (Not fully privatized) and they don’t have any supply issues that we have. We have no free market and we end up depending on India, a third world country, for vaccines…

  9. But schedule surgery wait times are down since COVID started…
    It’s posted on your government covid website

  10. Come to the
    End the Lockdowns Protests!!!
    Every Saturday at Queens Park!
