Ok, it's thread time. Now I need to precede this with mentioning that I have enough for 2 maybe even 3 threads but I'm going to start with 1. Not enough time to do all of that right now haha.

Ok to start, thank you to all the educators, EA's, and any and all school staff that
are employed to allow our kids to return to school in these very bizarre times under this government. The government is shit, and we all know that. I will stand on the side of the educators each and every single time.

Ok, so I guess I should start with a tweet I made a couple
days ago in regards to this back to school plan being the kiss of death for this government. I'm just going to step through the steps that I've been replaying through my mind for the last however long.

We are sending kids, educators and all school staff into a very poor
situation. This really can't be debated at all. I'm always open to hearing counter arguments but this one in particular, good luck.

To this point this government has been TERRIBLE. I don't have a list of every cruel, malicous, narcissistically driven bout of destruction that's
been passed or forced upon Albertans but I'm going to break this down.

Kenney promised: jobs, economy, and pipelines.

In the spirit of the return to school, lets give our government a report card:

Jobs - what jobs? did he mean the LOSS of jobs? Ok so a real easy F, hell F-
Economy - We're just humming along.....right? I don't suppose what he's done to HURT the economy is what he was referring to, right? Another F-

And lastly, pipelines, his crown jewel and another grand fuck up. F-. Nobody gets credit for throwing billions at a pipeline that'll
never get built. With that said, for all the huge oil fans out there, thank you Rachel Notley and PM Justin Trudeau for getting TMX going.

So Kenney's three promises have been a smoking crater of disappointment. His promises SHOULD have been as follows:

1. Debt
2. Constant attack on citizens
3. No results

He'd get an A+ for sure. But who'd vote for him? Oh right.............

Lets look at how this return to school plan is going to fully cement everything into not only a second wave of COVID, but is going to send us back to Stage 1 with
little optimism to get out until this government is gone.

This is going to be a type of step by step.

1. Return to school in poor conditions.
2. Educators and kids get sick and require to quarantine.
-Educators get sick, the system runs out of subs and
and that is
aside from infecting other loved ones, which amplifies this effect.
- Kids get sick, forced to quarantine. (kids under the
of 12 aren't able to stay alone) so I guess that
means grandparents or parents need to stay with
them.
3. If grandparents stay with them, we're probably looking at deaths. If parents stay with them, on the assumption that they can't work from home, the economy begins to suffer.

Now this step is where things get key. (and this is with health and the survival rate itself
temporarily on the shelf). Questions that must be asked.

How long is your employer able to give you off? At which point are you not worth the trouble to keep employed and instead will be replaced? How are you going to pay your mortgage?

4. This then lends itself to unemployment
rising (caveat: even if you don't have kids you're not immune to getting sick, and still require to isolate. How much time will your employer give you to do that before you become a casualty?)
5. Unemployment rises, mortgages and bills don't get payed.
6. People find themselves
on the street.

What a fucking sunny outlook eh?? And this stems from the government not giving a shit about the return to school. This is also contributed to by Dr. Hinshaw's recommendations not being given the necessary weight and the Dr. not speaking out about how her
recommendations aren't being followed (assuming that's the case, which I truly believe it is)

What we need to realize is, Dr. Hinshaw is CLEARLY an intelligent professional, the issue that I'm having is, if she can't put it into print, the government won't uphold it. It doesn't
matter what exists in her head, it matters what she's prepared to insist on and that she's prepared to speak out when the government doesn't call for what she's recommending. This virus isn't fucking childs play. People can and have died. It needs to be INSISTED on from the
responsible adult in the room. To let these idiots do whatever they like IS the problem. So yes, Dr. Hinshaw is part of the problem, as is our system. You know what happens when a system asks the top medical professional in the province for INPUT? This. This is what happens.
The government that chases a "god" determines that some deity will choose whether we live or not. I for one have NO FAITH in that. Science? Fuck that, I sneeze at science.......... (Kenney)

So how's that economy looking? Oh right, everybody is at home looking after sick kids, or
quarantining from being sick. What a fucking plan. This government sure knows what it's doing.....

And for those that want to argue, "Well what about those that can work from home?" I'll tell you. Lets say hypothetically 30 percent of ppl can work from home. How does the 70
percent afford to pay for services and products when they aren't earning a living? Ah right. They don't.

So for those arguing "FOR THE ECONOMY!", if you choose to not buy into the safe return to school, get fucked.

This is this thread. I have more material coming, but I won't
commit to when I'll release the thread(s).

Stay safe folks. Help out your educators, and help our your kids. I'd love nothing more than for everyone to go to school and come home healthy. Every. Single. Day.

Oh and one last and final point and potentially the most important.
When this plan goes to shit, I am going to be looking for people all across Alberta to join me in gathering signatures on a massive petition to submit to the LG calling for an early election and the ousting of this government. Not an online petition, an actual petition. I'm
fully prepared to go door to door to collect signatures. We're a resilient bunch in this province, but when the government starts subjecting us to death marches like THIS. The gloves are off.

Sincerely,

the lover of many Albertans,
