Wouldn't "protection for the unvacinated" just be vaccinating them? There, you are now protected.
Protection for the actual vulnerable seems to be a pretty low priority, though.

Not that kind of "protection."

Now, I've been told that Smith is "intelligent" so I have to wonder how putting Tyler ####ing Shandro in charge of anything involving "following the word of the law" is a sign of intelligence. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

I’ll give her credit for pulling off what can only be described as one of the most epic troll jobs I’ve ever seen that is currently being perpetrated on her base of a “small minority with unacceptable views”. She’s literally giving the assignment of “fighting Ottawa” to the former minister of health who imposed on them most of the restrictions they claim to oppose.
What are your thoughts on that and sheeple in general Yoho?

Oh man.
Smith is absolutely imploding.
She avoided announcing or even mentioning the Alberta Provincial Police force yesterday at her address to us at the RMA. Only to announce it's going ahead hours later.
She would have been booed off of stage if she had. There is no appetite in rural Alberta for this. We have been very vocal about this.
This will no doubt lose the UCP their majority in this province.

Good. Its a stupid plan.
Same with controlling our own pensions. I can see some merit in the concept of controlling our own Pension Plan based on the demographics of our Province, but at the end of the day even that is harmful short-term thinking that lacks the concept of long-term consequences and vision.
We need to catapult Smith into the Sun.

The Alberta Pension is very loudly being shot down by the older members of the Rural Municipalities.
Another item that threatens their hold on Alberta.
If she loses the senior vote, UCP have nothing left.

She has no mandate to do any of this stuff. I wish she would #### right off into the sun. Thanks for saddling us with this worthless excuse for a leader, UCP. Well done.

Conservatives never have mandates for anything they do, that's why they always run with little to no platform. They know their policies are unpopular, so they just don't talk about them and instead campaign only on fear mongering

If she is continuing items that Kenny promised then she does have a mandate. So things like provincial police force I think are reasonable for he to believe she has a mandate to implement.

Anyone here upset that the Alberta Gov't is now looking to play for orphaned well clean up? I'm not Albertan anymore but it would sure chap my ### that the companies who agreed to pay for these wells at end of life didn't uphold their end of the agreement.
Am I missing something? Seems like corporate donations to give tax breaks (meaning spending money that would've gone to the citizens) for cleaning up the mess that they promised they'd clean...

Kenney didn't campaign on a provincial police force or removing us from the Canadian pension plan either. I suspect those are deeply unpopular. There is no mandate for those plans. They are big enough changes to many peoples lives that there should be an election held on those ideas.
What I expect and fear will happen is Smith will start implementing these things as soon as she can so that she has an excuse to delay the next election so that Albertans have a chance to see them play out. She'll say the NDP would cancel this, and we can't have them canceled before the spring election, so she'll go with delaying it a year.
And I just looked to see how this works, and apparently I'm not the only one concerned about this happening...

If there is anything that makes me worry that we have banana republic type corruption going on here, it's the handing over of pension funds to local crony fund managers, and investing in crony companies, without any public mandate or support.

I'm starting to think she won't respect the 2023 election. None of these policies can be reasonably implemented in six months.
I think she's going to break convention and pull a Stelmach to extend her far-right regime.
