  1. Kenny was the.own who was asking nurses to take a 3 % wage / pay decrease That is how much he likes nurses and health care

  2. Jason Kenny 2020 should have refused giving 100ventilators and possibly 50 million dollars medical supplies for the French liberal debt spending crisis deficit Ontario, bankruptcy crisis, insolvency crisis, liberals.

  3. From “passports are illegal” to “passports are great”…the Alberta government has failed the citizenry terribly…the health care cuts to frontline workers has caused the staffing problems in the ICU (Alberta has the lowest number of fully staffed ICU beds per 100,000 population in Canada…WTF?)…we are paying way too much for administration of the health care system affecting the front line.

    Kenney has to go (he drank the koolaid)!!

    1. Gets worse …Alberta release new Data (NOT Case Numbers ) … Hospitalisation & ICU … death testing positive for covid …ALL who Die and ruff time in Hospital have underlying conditions …Hypertension , heart , respiratory ( smokers ) , Diabetes ect ect ect … Vax does not STOP transmission ….soo why Vax pass port … why mandatory vax ???

    3. @Derben Leyla source Horses mouth alberta /stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics…. to help you … Example if you have Hypertension there have been 2262 deaths … if you end up in Hospital or ICU with Hypertension you have a 83.3% chance to die ( test positive covid )

    1. OOOooo BIG news …Alberta release new Data ( not Case Numbers ) … Hospitalisation and death testing positive for covid …ALL who Die and ruff time in Hospital have underlying conditions …Hypertension , heart , respiratory ( smokers ) , Diabetes ect ect ect … Vax does not STOP transmission ….soo why Vax pass port … why mandatory vax ???

  4. Imagine the pressure Alberta’s healthcare workers are feeling knowing that Kenney doesn’t know what he’s doing and he has said he’s going to lay off 11000 health care workers after the pandemic…time to resign…you’ve painted Alberta into a corner with your pathetic “open for Summer” pandemic response.

  5. Any premier that studer steps on any issue especially dealing with people’s lives is unfit to govern.
    UCP should be ashamed of themselves.
    They fired the wrong person.
    This is a Kenney government not the people’s.

    1. Psst – the government isn’t responsible for your safety. But you keep goose steppin there Karen.

      That’s your responsibility – or does your mom still wash your underwear for you too?

  6. Augh…he has saved the day!
    And there I was waiting everyday for the past year for the collapse of our health care.

  7. Our nation’s leaders and their constituents need to stop faithfully following and implementing the medical advice being dispensed by medical unprofessionals endorsed by Daystar Canada. They will never be allowed to practice medicine in Canada, as a result of having dispensed medical disinformation on the coattails of Daystar’s broadcasting licence, which needs to be revoked and the perpetrators be declared persons non grata everywhere.
