Alberta is having a different approach to lockdown
- Thread starter Sol Tee Nutz
- Start date
Ça me rappelle le film "Le jour de la marmotte" ( Groundhog Day ), le gars revie la même journée et repète les même choses, jours, après jour, après jours, après jours, après jour, après jours, après jours,...... ZZZZZZZ
Alberta was lucky on early months as a lot of midwest republican states. Now some of their leaders and a good part of the Albertan population are plain stupid!!! Stop looking at your belly button and learn from others.

Alberta had the privilege of employing thousands from other provinces ( something Quebec can not do ) and that is one reason for the cases. Wait a few months and we will chat about this some more, as for now, cases, really? Most do not even know they have this virus of all viruses.
With your Republican state comment, raw totals show that California 55,000 deaths and NY 50,000 deaths still lead the pack by a long shot.

The UCP leadership is horrible, and many if not most of its supporters are idiots.
But keep in mind a very large number of Albertans (myself included) are trying their best to be more responsible.
Originally, in early 2020, maybe, but no longer. The current situation is due to UCP mismanagement and a lot of rural idiot yahoos.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced on Tuesday tighter COVID-19 restrictions for the province as the COVID-19 situation continues to worsen.
Effective Friday, May 6, all students from kindergarten to Grade 12 will be moved to online learning. Post-secondary education will also move online.
Workplaces with COVID-19 outbreaks will be mandated to close for 10 days, with exemptions for critical workplaces.
Capacity of retail businesses will be limited to 10 per cent of fire code capacity or a minimum of five customers. Places of worship will be limited to 15 people and funerals limited to 10 people.
Outdoor social gatherings will be limited to a maximum of five people with a strong recommendation to limit gatherings to two family cohorts.
Effective at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 9, personal wellness services will close for three weeks, including hair salons, tattoo parlours, tanning salons and nail salons.
In-person dining at restaurants continues to be prohibited, but the government will now close outdoor patios as well.
Kenney also announced the fines for violating public health orders would also increase from $1,000 to $2,000. Tougher penalties will also be enforced for repeat offenders.
Well done Mr. Kenney, better late than never, but he had no choice.
Look up 'leadership' in any dictionary, and I guarantee you will not find a picture of the UCP caucus there.
CALGARY -- As the province gets set to open up COVID-19 immunizations to every adult in Alberta, some elected officials are keeping tight-lipped on their vaccine decisions.
CTV News has reached out to all 87 Alberta MLAs to ask about their vaccination plans.
Nineteen of those MLAs have refused to answer the question, even after repeated calls and emails. Of those 19, 18 are members of the United Conservative Party caucus.
The other MLA, Lesser Slave Lake's Pat Rehn, was recently kicked out of the party.
Numerous Alberta MLAs refuse to say if they're planning on getting vaccinated

Perhaps you should look into how many east coasters work in the oilsands, Alberta still employs more out of province people than any province. I think Qiebec has zero.
Kenny is done, not a chance he will even be in the next election.
On the contrary, as elected officials and in view of all the controversy surrounding the vaccine, it is the people's business if their elected officials will choose to take it or not.
Good news and bad news about COVID-19 in Canada.
The good news is the progress on vaccines with more doses arriving and in the pipeline, provinces are ramping up their rollout to younger Canadians.
The bad news is the virus is still spreading faster in some provinces than vaccines are arriving.
One of Canada's COVID-19 hotspots is Alberta's oil sands, where more than a dozen outbreaks have made hundreds of workers sick.
Alberta 7 day daily average of deaths...4
Ontario 7 day daily average of deaths...29
Quebec 7 day daily average of deaths..44

Not sure where you are getting your numbers. From the fed gov site Ontario 52, Quebec 14, Alberta 3.7
And here is the bigger problem for Alberta. Peak deaths is about 2 to 3 weeks after peak cases. Ontario cases peaked about 3 weeks ago and deaths are just starting to come down. Alberta hasn't hit peak cases yet.

OK, while the title says "Quebec", notice the drop down says "all regions". Trust the numbers I gave you 
This article explains some of the reasons that Alberta now has the highest active case rate in ALL of Canada AND the USA for Covid. Some of the reasons are ignorance, denial, refusal to accept facts, vaccine hesitancy and ill-informed UCP politicians.
