I guess one of the things that bugs me is that even though most people are not even elligible right now, you still have the media and some doctors saying that everyone should get it as soon as possible. Since it's not possible for a while, what purpose does it serve to have this campaign of fear? For people who do want it, they get to crap their pants for the next couple of weeks waiting.

Yup, lots of blame to go around, from the various levels of government and health-care bureaucracy to the media, to the people who aren't high risk who overwhelmed the system, to the people who have been spreading misinformation as part of an anti-vaccination program.
The article in the Herald has one massive red flag in it: if one third of Albertans are high risk, and they've got only about 80,000 vaccinations per week, that means it'll take about thirteen weeks (end of January) just to vaccinate all 1 million high-risk Albertans.
