It was threatening when people emailed Shandro's wife, but of course, it's not threatening when Shandro, the Health Minister uses his power to get people's contact information and does the exact same thing or shows up on your driveway. Got it.

Maybe she wouldn't get into so much trouble if she stopped trying to pardon people who broke the law while Albertans were dying in the hospitals, and staff getting crushed by the weight of it all, all while most every other Albertan made sacrifices for society. Most people here sacrificed a lot, yet this premier thinks these ####wads are on the right side of history? It's nauseating seeing our premier fight for them. ####ing nauseating.

It literally feels like we're living in some parody parallel universe.

Counterpoint: most Albertans didn't sacrifice that much during the pandemic. That's the great irony of all of this. What did most of us do? Stay at home and watch Netflix, maintain a respectable distance away from other people while in public (something we always should have been doing anyway, to be frank), wear a thin piece of cloth on our face, and get a few needles? Big freaking deal. That wasn't a sacrifice at all. And these crybaby snowflakes Smith is defending couldn't even do that much.

I dunno, some sure did. Businesses closed for months, people lost incomes, lost seeing loved ones, visiting friends, dealt with more challenging work and shopping situations, didn't travel...but these snowflakes somehow think they are entitled to do whatever they want while the rest of us contributed? Nope, #### them, and #### those defending them.

Danielle should get Brendan Miller to be her lawyer.

No that’s your story of work and sacrifice during pandemic. Other people were let go from there jobs and ostracized from society for choosing to not take an experimental “vaccine” which increasingly looks like it was the smart choice.

You have little sympathy for them because the tv told you to take it and if you have to take it everyone else does, therefore they deserve every bit of retribution they get.

This is true, I regrat the highly experimental vaccine. I keep coughing and it’s even effecting my mind….Today I woke up and all of a sudden thought that Danielle Smith is actually not that bad.

Wtf was this vaccine???

Yeah, I'm not following that either.

I think it worked like a charm on the vast majority of people. I know when I got COVID (after 2x Vax) I was sick for a week or so and then back at it.

It was goddamned awful though, I felt like hell, however I cant imagine what it might have been like without being prior vaccinated.

The logic must be if you didn’t get vaccinated and you didn’t die, you made the right choice?

Life is all about risk. On one hand taking the vaccine and potentially having an adverse reaction is a risk. On the other, not taking the vaccine and potentially losing your job is another risk. That's what's so great about liberal democracies like Canada - you have the freedom to choose. But you need to be willing to accept the consequences of your choices.

Throughout my life, I've heard conservatives talk about the importance of personal responsibility. The idea that we all need to be accountable for ourselves and accept the consequences of our actions without blaming others for our own life choices. In this way, choosing to not get the vaccine when you knew it could risk your job was an exercise in the conservative values of: freedom of choice and personal responsibility. You had the choice to get the vaccine or not but you had to be willing to live with the consequences of your choice.

I sympathize with (but do not understand the logic of) those who consider the vaccines to be 'experimental' or unsafe. But at the end of the day, they were presented with the freedom to choose a path forward for themselves, and now need to accept personal responsibility for their actions.

Yoho, as someone who clearly supports the conservative movement in Canada, I'd think you'd fully support the notion of personal responsibility. I mean the idea that people should be held responsible for the consequences of their own choices is a fundamental concept of Western societies and one of the key attributes of individualism and conservativism.

Lots of people in our society lose their jobs due to choices or employer demands that the employee is not willing to accept. As well, many people in our society feel ostracized for their life choices. This is not unique among those who refused the vaccines.

Growing up, my Dad was forced to move several times for his job. We spent time, in Calgary, Edmonton (E=NG), Ottawa, Regina and even England. I moved 5 times between grades 1 and 12. These were not moves that my Dad sought out, and they were not even necessarily promotions for him. My Dad was presented with the option to accept the moves and keep his job or quit and find other work.

The point is, my Dad didn't go online and whine about how hard done he was. He made his choice (freedom) and accepted the consequences of that choice (personal responsibility). In reality, he hated the moves and hated his employer for forcing it on him. But it is what it is, and life moves on.

Tons of people in our society do the same everyday over all types of issues, and they all move on with life as well. I'd suggest the unvaccinated accept that they were presented with a choice and now need to take personal responsibility for that choice. That's what someone who holds true conservative values would say anyways.

When I took the vaccine, I right away began to feel much better. I felt more energized, my skin glossened, and I was more focused on my day to day tasks. Over the coming days, other things started to happen too. I felt I had more stamina, I was able to multitask way better, and I become far more receptive to people who I previously avoided. I felt life was improving.

Then the physical changes really kicked in. My posture corrected, my vision sharpened, and I was able to lift heavier weights at the gym no problem. Even my teeth brightened by about five shades of brilliance.

Not long after that it was when I realized I could actually jump way farther and take really long strides during my daily run (and by this point, I was up to six jogs a day, even getting 5k done between business meetings). I decided to push myself. I focused, cleared my mind, and before I knew it, I had lift off. FLIGHT was now in my arsenal of physical capabilities. No need for a car anymore.

You'd be impressed how much one can accomplish when they can superman their way around town. I even stopped a mugging in the local park as I flew by. Some poor old lady was getting her purse stolen. I made quick work of the thief by snatching him up in the air and taking him to the police station, but not before giving him a good dunk in a nearby swamp to make sure he understood that law and order doesn't put up with disgusting pieces of trash.

The world is my oyster once I get the fifth vaccine. I can't believe the sheeple out there that think this is a bad thing.

You people are nuts!

I loved the vaccine. Worked for me! Will be getting another booster for sure. Imagine thinking you know more than the qualified scientists who developed the technology for this vaccine over the course of several decades.
