Kenney himself admitted back in April of 2020 that AHS could expand ICU capacity to over 1,000+ beds in the province, which raises the question of why that was not already done at least partially a long time ago?
After more than two weeks of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party not having a platform, despite being the party that called the election, they have finally released it and their vaccine mandate policy has gotten more radical than Trudeau’s public statements had been indicating.
Just a year ago Conservative leader Erin O’Toole was still maintaining his front as being a “True Blue” Conservative who would never run on his own carbon tax, which he even put in writing for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Now not only is O’Toole having the Conservative Party run on a carbon tax in the 2021 snap election but if you disagree with his carbon tax you will be removed from the CPC caucus.
It is still early on in the election, with 21 days of campaigning left to go and a lot that can change until election day comes, but for now, the Conservatives can feel more comfortable than they did before the election started as they have reversed the pre-election polling the Liberals used to hold over them.
Although the pro-oil and gas advocacy organization would have endorsed the Conservative candidate in any given race back in 2019. Now in 2021 with Conservative leader Erin O’Toole having the party run on a carbon tax, and supporting the anti-oil Paris Agreement, UWR is endorsing Independent candidate Derek Sloan instead of Blake Richards.
Referendums on a political figure’s personality can make or break their chances at reelection. Justin Trudeau is definitely at this moment failing to make a case for why he should continue being prime minister, but the Conservatives need to watch out because if Trudeau can rally, with a lot of help from the bought-off legacy media, he can mount a comeback because the election is all about him.
Liberal Finance Minister Chyristia Freeland a couple of days ago was labeled by Twitter as having shared “Manipulated Media” after posting a heavily edited video in order to claim Conservative leader Erin O’Toole was in favour of moving towards private healthcare.
Monsef tried to buy it back by claiming “Muslims refer to one another as brothers and sisters,” which just raises more questions about Monsef seeing Taliban fighters as deserving of formality and respect despite admitting they are terrorists. Again that wouldn’t fly with Christians, who also call each other brothers and sisters if they were referring to members of an extremist organization.
O’Toole’s position is almost exactly the same as Trudeau’s as many commentators have noted these past few days. Both are saying that civil servants will either have to be vaccinated or undergo constant rapid testing and screening if they aren’t. Erin O’Toole supports the right of the unvaccinated to be constantly harassed, if they do not do exactly what the government wants, and of course that is not real freedom.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be considered a skilled politician seeing as he won a majority government back in 2015 against Stephen Harper, and still at least maintained a majority in 2019, but the reality is that Trudeau is the beneficiary not of natural political skill, but of a lot of lucky breaks.
