Canada’s cases currently stand at around 2500 cases per day, whereas they sat at around 3000 cases per day in April, prior to the decision by the Ford government to bring in the stay-at-home orders. The lockdown has now been extended by 2 weeks to end on June 2nd, but how much faith we can have in this new end date? One need only look back at this past year.
Albertans love a good convoy, and on Saturday it was time to send Premier Jason Kenney a message: end the lockdowns and restore freedom. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!
Now many UCP MLAs, especially those from rural and small-town Alberta, are feeling the heat and a Caucus rebellion is bubbling to the surface. Yesterday, some MLAs have seen enough and are openly calling for Jason Kenney to resign.
Late last night MLA Todd Loewen and United Conservative Party caucus chair released a letter to Premier Jason Kenney declaring that not only did he feel he could no longer carry on as caucus chair as he had lost confidence in the leadership of Kenney.
Since this time, Dr. Modry has become one of Kenney’s loudest critics as things have gone from bad to worse with the Alberta government shutting down businesses, churches and now even arresting those who won’t obey the constitutionally dubious Alberta Covid-19 restrictions.
It was a cold rain-soaked day in Mirror, Alberta. Storm clouds gathered for an imminent showdown at the Whistlestop Cafe. The battle lines formed with about 1500 pro-freedom and anti-lockdown supporters led by Cafe owner Chris Scott on one side and a phalanx of RCMP police on the other.
Now Alberta will be diving headfirst into Doug Ford’s Ontario-style lockdown restrictions that will bankrupt more small businesses and increase unemployment while achieving no reduction in infections outside of the natural rise and fall we have been seeing for more than a year now.
It seems rather odd that despite the vast majority of Albertans complying with public health measures, whether they would stand up in court or not, somehow cases rise unaffected by the overbearing measures gutting Alberta’s small business community.
On April 28th in a Regina City Council hearing transgender activist, Jenn Smith attempted to speak to the issues of bans on so-called “conversion therapy” in terms of the harm such a ban could cause for children with gender dysphoria, but the political environment in the council did not seem well prepared to hear him.
As Doug Ford has slid into his Liberal costume, complete with Trudeau tears, could New Blue Ontario be a symptom of Doug Ford and his Ontario PC party abandoning conservative principles and excessive broken promises? Is Doug Ford himself the catalyst that helps spawn the New Blue Party of Ontario? Only time will tell.
