How repugnant. That would be sad if it wasn't pathetic.

Mr. Manning, who has been critical of lockdowns, vaccine mandates and other public health measures, promised to review Alberta’s COVID-19 response in order to prepare for the next pandemic...

...“We’re also looking for expert testimony, particularly from experts whose alternative medical narratives or alternative scientific narratives were ignored or even censored during the time of the pandemic,” he said.

The former politician said the goal of his citizens’ inquiry was to provide recommendations as to what could have been done differently to avoid or mitigate such harm.
Sounds like we'll be getting an unbiased review. This should be money well spent. Why not just save months of work and loads of money by having him write it up right now? It's not like facts are going to change his position. I can guarantee there will not be one word of what the dire consequences would be following his conclusions.

What a ####ing joke.

He is only 80. The issue is that he looked in his 70's when he was leader of the Reform Party.

Well....'only 80' should at the very least be 'retired and riding off into the sunset' territory.

Yeah, 80 is old as fata.

Can't remember the last time I needed help in any situation whatsoever and my first thought was to call an 80-year-old geriatric for his advice. This is preposterous.

Hey doofus, there's a reason why they were IGNORED OR CENSORED

Geezus christ these right-wing conservative nutjobs are severely damaging Alberta's reputation.

This is sooooo embarrassing as an Albertan. What are the odds the committee finds that to improve for the next pandemic, we need more front-line health care workers and a government willing and able to follow medical science?

About the same odds we never see another conservative win in Alberta.

Apparently being paid 250K to do so too. Fiscal responsibility or something right?

  • The budget for the panel is $2 million.
  • Manning, as the panel chair, will be paid $253,000.

Not bad pay for less than a year of "work". Good ol' conservative fiscal responsibility managing our dollars well.
