  1. I’m not a Dr. but I predict we will not be hit by a “tsunami” of cases. Let’s see who is right.

  2. What’s next?
    For your own safety, schools, universities, offices, small businesses, malls, government offices, roads, hospitals, wildlife, factories, all businesses should be closed for 55 years and 3 months except amozoon.

  3. Alberta Health Services have had upwards of 2 years to be prepared for this pandemic. In my opinion, they have never acted, they only react. All you ever read about are the horror stories concerning Albertans suffering in so many different ways. Getting sick of this approach. Can’t wait for the next provincial election.

    1. So, is the assumption here that Notley would do better? The NDP are even more authoritarian and incompetent. Pushing mandates and passports the entire time.

    2. @T. SKALTA Not an expert in the field, but perhaps making an attempt to keep up with the growing population in Central Alberta with increased infrastructure to accommodate this statistic. That would be a start. Perhaps you have some suggestions that you would like to share, or perhaps you are completely satisfied with the kind of care Albertans are currently receiving.

    3. @Praveen Goel NO, why is it that every-time we question the incompetence of one party, it is assumed you support the other!
      It is a shame that the ballot box does NOT have a box for “none of the above” then these useless politicians will realize we think nearly ALL of them are a waste of oxygen!
      For them it is a game the ONLY thing they do is for themselves and that is usually to vote a pay or pension increase.
      Not one party had any preparation for a pandemic. Yet we have been watching movies on it for years.
      There are NO extra beds, of assistance to communities.
      CERB was given, but not taxed at source, so the very hardest hit are not hit with a huge tax bill as well as extra expense on groceries.
      We need to be able to hold our politicians much more accountable, if that means when they are voted out or retire, we decide if they have done enough to get their pension and huge golden handshake.
      Finally a way of voting in our Prime Minister. less than 2% of this country voted in Trudum! Let that sink in.

    4. @stevejh69 Our choices are pretty limited in Alberta. I think Kenney has been a disaster, and Notley has been scoring cheap political points despite being a dumpster fire herself.

  4. So,now they going to predict weeks months years ahead and based on predictions they will be shutting down businesses? What a comedy life we live in. 🤣

  5. Once you don’t take the next booster, you:
    – Cannot leave Canada by plane.
    – Cannot leave Canada by boat.
    – Cannot leave Canada by train/bus.
    – Cannot enter the only bordering country by car.
    – You’re stuck in a country where you get treated like a dog, freezing on the streets… indefinitelively.

    Welcome to the North American Gulag!

  6. Looking like we need to do a audit on our health care system if this is so mismanaged we need someone to look at it starting with the taxpayers of Albert and a independent audit when you have this much poor management it shows up when we have a flue on the province and can f up the system

  7. Until Canadians grow a spine and stop complying this will go on forever. If you comply you deserve every bit of what happens to you.
