Ban travel if it shouldn't be allowed, but firing cabinet ministers, etc, for something the gov't permits is horrifically stupid and short sighted. Same with Nenshi's CoS, etc.

The whole witchhunt going on right now is absolutely nauseating and embarrassing as a country that prides itself on freedom, especially considering how it handled the pandemic this whole time on that very principle which caused the mess we have to begin with.
On one side you have the morons marching downtown against masks, on the other side you have the woke / cancel culturists looking at flight itineraries to shame people on Twitter (pushed forward by political affiliation of course). The #whereistrudeau silliness is an example of that.
Meanwhile, available flights on Westjet are mainly booked by Albertans of all types (let's stop pretending that flights are only available to the rich), planes to the US and Mexico are packed. Look at booking a flight to Mazatlan right now from Calgary, flights are totally sold out for a few days.
We have doctors and CEOs of health boards travelling to the Caribbean's and forced to resign under public pressure for non essential travel.

Hadju traveled multiple times for non essential travel during travel bans including long weekends, and it's ok. No apology, nothing. Scheer caught without a mask at a time when people were allowed to gather 100 people for a wedding? Front page story. Hadju caught without a mask at a time when cases are skyrocketing? It's ok.
My biggest problem is how politics and party affiliation is the biggest factor in this fake outrage. The media will latch on to a narrative and stick with it.
Outrage should not be situational. I have a problem with hypocrisy, both in the "do what I say not what I do" policy makers and how the outrage is more based on political affiliation.
If Kenney's chief of staff is a big deal (and I don't think it is as they are not a policy maker), then Nenshi's chief of staff should be a big deal (and I don't think it is). Allard on the other hand is a policy maker and should have certainly known better, and she should have rightfully resigned. Of course I also fully believe Hadju should resign, but Liberals can do no wrong and I am sure I will get someone to Hadju's defense coming my way.
You cannot have it both ways. If you want to make selective examples, ban travel outright, no exceptions, no "Thunder Bay to Ottawa" long weekend trip, no Hawaii trips.
Stop this stupid witchhunt, but if the cancel culture must do it, do it uniformly.
