Despite Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney often being the most frustrating to their constituents when it came to the lockdown rules, it seems that the magnitude of people’s discontent with the draconian public health rules has finally gotten through to them.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Many who watched the recent Conservative Party convention found themselves in disbelief. I am not an exception to this. I watched as Erin O’Toole firmly laid the foundation for policies few in the West support. Chiefly among them, a further alienated Western Canada.
The Conservatives don’t even have to fully endorse the actions of Grace Life Church in order to seize onto the golden opportunity to simply condemn a church being made an example of by AHS and the RCMP far beyond what the law would require the punishment to be for violating provincial restrictions, whether you agree with them or not.
Canadians’ Charter Rights seem to have taken a backseat to the healthcare theatre of politicians trying to show the lefty mainstream media how much they can pretend to care about health and safety while throwing the entire economy under the bus.
Although very rational arguments against lockdowns and the further sacrifice of the economy to theoretically reduce the spread of COVID are there to be made, neither Kenney, Ford, or most other Conservatives for that matter, are willing to make the argument, and to the detriment of Albertans, Ontarians, and Canadians overall.
Leftists just can’t help themselves from two things: Alberta bashing and Conservative Bashing. To them, it’s basically the same thing.
