I care because some people will take their lead from two of those in power and who set public health policy and are supposed to know how best to protect themselves. I think it’s stupid to think that your superior immune system will protect you from COVID but sr Albertans will think if these two aren’t getting vaccinated, my immune system is strong too so I’m good to go. I think everyone who gets close to them in meetings should care. Everyone who wants COVID minimized should care.

I guess we believe in freedom of speech, even when that speech reveals one’s idiocy.

Your antagonizing style of posting is easily the worst on the site. People give Yoho a hard time, but they don't come near touching this high school bully level of tone.

Yeah it's soo much worse than spreading misinformation, reposting stupid tweets without any context, and linking right-wing crap sites that only deplorable uncles and aunts do on Facebook....

It took him 2 months to address his racist posts towards filipinos but yeah... i'm way worse. lol

You do realize that vaccinations don’t prevent one from getting Covid, right? Their purpose is to keep the virus at bay and minimize the effects, while simultaneously easing the burden on emergency health care infrastructure. Our idiot leadership in this province is too stupid to see the forest through the trees here with their irresponsible, asinine comments, and it seems you drink this Kool-Aid. Unsurprisingly, of course.

Has Smith spoken out about flu booster shots? The principle should be the same - nobody is forcing you to get them, but it’s a really good idea if you do.

Or has the anti-vaxx movement cast flu shots as part of some sinister agenda as well?

You’d think so since they go on & on about Covid being just like the common flu.

The Breakdown

On CBC yesterday, Smith claimed that CEO’s who built new power plants would be incarcerated if plants weren’t “almost 100% abated” by 2035.

And then CBC fact checked her.

It’s an embarrassment every day in this province…
