soooo much underlying campaigning in this presser (seems to me, at least). You& #39;d think there was an Alberta election just around the corner. Makes me wonder how that recent caucus meeting went.

Premier Kenney is asked by a reporter if he has a message for Albertans regarding following health guidelines, & he answers: the variants are hitting younger people, so if you think you& #39;re immune because you& #39;re younger, that& #39;s not the case (paraphrased)

my thoughts next tweet

... it& #39;s all fine & good for Kenney to try to appeal to younger Albertans, to follow personal health measures, respect restrictions, but for most of last year - he was saying stuff along the lines of "it hits 80 yr-olds, & they& #39;re going to die anyway"

listened to an excellent segment on CBC& #39;s The Current, this morning. It touches on the problem with going back and forth with lighter, than heavier (though not enough) restrictions. Also, inconsistent messaging. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-63-the-current/clip/15836774-alberta-polarized-covid-19-restrictions">https://www.cbc.ca/listen/li...
