So I was trying to quote an earlier post of mine where I said IDGAF about unvaccinated people dying and I accidentally deleted it. 

Anyway, I read a story today that melted even my cold covidiot-hating heart.  She was a 29 year old who had an organ transplant when she was little and was worried about the side effects of the vaccine because of it.  She had taken precautions and wasn't a covid denier, but somehow she got it anyway.  She was intubated on her 29th birthday and died a few days later. 

Shortly after I read about a 'covid party' in rural Alberta where people deliberately tried to contract covid and a few ended up in the hospital.  I chuckled, got mad, and then realized that in a way they're just as much victims of misinformation as the young woman who died for whom I did feel sorry.

I want to feel sympathy for them all equally.  They are all victims.  They're all going to be missed by someone who loved them. 

And yet, I am numb to most of them because I'm so angry at them.
can you imagine how frustrated and angry the healthcare staff are? the young gal being hesitant I understand - no idea or research available for vax effects on organ transplants. She probably would've been ok. I have a bil who's all vaxxed and boostered. So far, so good. He also wears the double and triple mask protocol. Those partiers tho- yeah, they make many angry for their antics paid for with their life. It was preventable.

It's Alberta's conservatives feeling cornered and desperate.

While this seems to be easily containable in Canada it's a trend amongst conservatives that also makes for more dangerous times in other countries.
my son asked me if these conservatives are looking to rule like putin or the taliban- wow! I don't know where that came from but the 'talk' with his friends and cousins all point in that direction they said. My son asked me, 'why don't they just leave Canada and move to those nations that are tyrannical?'

The UCP leadership race is actually a race to the bottom.

Quote
United Conservative Party leadership candidate Danielle Smith is pushing hard on the idea that Justin Trudeau is hiring “climate cops,” but those claims are being called incorrect and dangerous.

the recent revelations from a Canadaland article; on par with some of the best worst/failed "stings" set by so-called political operative James O'Keefe - Shady's hero in line with the Classic Shady avatar... the O'Keefe Pimp sting that ultimately cost him $100,000 in a settlement with ACORN:


seems former Calgary mayor Nenshi was too ethical/smart to have taken the bait: Former Calgary mayor Nenshi denounces alleged plot to entrap him with illegal Russian money
Quote
Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi is calling a purported plot to entrap him into accepting illegal Russian money "disappointing," after a report surfaced Monday that several people were involved in a plan to taint his reputation and remove him from office.

Canadaland, the news site that reported on the alleged scheme, said "Operation Peacock'' was an attempt by a political fixer, backed by local business interests and arranged by political strategists.

"How disappointing to read about this alleged plot against me. It appears that there are people that seem to think that their money and their connections make them more important or powerful than everyday citizens," Nenshi said in a statement to CBC News on Monday.

"As a community, we should never stand for the kind of assault on our democracy and on our society that is alleged

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith spoke to a pastor just weeks before his criminal trial on pandemic-related charges, promising she would again discuss his case with justice officials, beyond the earlier pleas she had already made on COVID-related prosecutions.

I'd like to think there was a time when this kind of thing would lead to actual consequences but I wasn't born yesterday.

The worst part was her trying to discredit the journalists who reported on it, saying they were liars, before the recording was uncovered. Such weasels.

The UCP is an embarrassment to ALberta. I live in Edmonton, and it's nearly certain that all provincial in the metro area will be won by the NDP.  Nearly all rural riding will be won by the UCP. Calgary will decide who wins the election.  Right now it is neck-and-neck with less than two months to go.

The fact that Danielle Smith is premier is a testament on how horrible Alberta is being run.  Back on early 2015, it looked like her political career was done, after the backlash from her constituents did her political career in, when she crossed the floor from the Wildrose Party to the old PC.

Since then, she has been a radio talk show host, promoting QAnon conspiracies, Anti-Vax mandates, and other ridiculous ideas.  Theo Fleury and Jamie Sale are regular guests.  The fact that she has aligned herself with Arthur Pawlowski, who is known for his racist views (he is vehemently anti Islam, and anti-LGBTQ), and legal problems, speaks volumes about her lack of character.

What gets me is there's not even the pretence of moderation from them, it's all straight up convoy clown s**t. I guess they figure there's enough of those idiots in Cowtown to make the difference and I hate to say they might be right.

Right now I am 100% sure that Notley will school Smith during the two month stretch going into the election in late may. We have to keep in mind that in 2012, the Wildrose led by Smith was actually leading the polls with 2 months to go, and Smith blew that.  In 2015, she was awarded a portfolio position with the Prentice PC Government for crossing the floor, and she ended up not even getting the nomination to run.

Alberta will have an NDP Government in 2023.  You can take that to the bank.

Man, I wish I had your confidence. one thing the NDP have going for them is the UCP is incapable of going a week without screwing up.

Alberta weighing involuntary treatment law for people with addiction

Quote
Earlier this week, the Globe and Mail revealed the provincial officials were discussing the Compassionate Intervention Act last fall after Danielle Smith became premier after winning the leadership of the governing United Conservative Party.

The newspaper obtained hundreds of pages of government documents through a freedom of information request.

The emails and reports from Oct. 6 to Dec. 15 of last year show the officials in Milliken's ministry were looking at how and under what circumstances a drug addict could be forced into treatment.

Party of small government, individual freedom etc etc, right?

Obviously there are strong concerns around individual liberty here.

On the other hand it seems like drug-people and mentally ill people are stabbing people on a daily basis all over Canada. Leaving aside the danger to others, they're also a danger to themselves-- I believe there have already been in the area of 200 deaths from fentanyl in BC this year.  Governments should be trying to find some way of dealing with this.  Danielle Smith might not have the right idea here, but governments need to be working on this.

Absolutely, but real solutions require a whole continuum of services, from safe consumption/supply, to treatment to mental health supports to housing to employment and that costs a lot of money that governments would rather just throw at cops.
