    That certainly looks like it but I can't get it to plot worth a shit. Maybe I'll try it on Lappy later.

    Seems like prioritization on vaccination paid off, so at least we are not repeating deaths we have seen in Dec.

    Still sucks for hospitals and staff tho.

    There's also a small part of me that feels pretty bad for Kenney. He's dead man walking from a political standpoint.

    Instituting more restrictions, regardless of the purpose, is going to cause him to lose what's left of his base, which, at this point, probably aren't many. But will won't gain him any pro-restriction support because they hate him for everything else.

    He has no right move politically and basically everyone is chomping at the bit for the next election.
    Lose his base?? How can a conservative base vote for anything else?

    I’ve had this conversation with a few people, if a conservative based person votes for NDP because they’re certain they would have done better is nuts. NDP would have had us shutdown much more, and since we’re ‘Berta - there’d be rodeos every weekend.

    The only sure thing the ndp would have done differently is spend way more money

    Probably longer lock downs and less likely to reopen as quickly.

    But then again Horgan didn't really lock down until things got really bad. But at least he acted at least 2 weeks ahead of us.

    Interesting to see political landscape when next election comes in 2 years. There is a reason AB gov ask the courts to cancel all the fines because if those cases drags out, it's increase the chances UCP will split again.

    NDP support hasn't change and if anything got stronger over this. If Kenney can't keep the rural area from starting their own party, we'll be back to a 3 horse race again.

    Then being 2 weeks ahead is a stupid narrative. Their ICU peaked way earlier than us. BC announced surgery delays due to covid icu peak on April 12th. We delayed ours April 27th. Almost exactly 2 weeks apart. Both BC and Alberta is literally doing the same thing. If anything, we're doing more than BC. Their patios are still open and packed. Until the latest restrictions, BC had in restaurant dining open the whole time even tho we locked it down over the holidays. BC's positivity rate hasn't been under 8% since late October, and they're testing way less than us. Nobody talks about it because it's not a good narrative. Everyone wants to hear that Alberta and UCP is a shitshow, so let's just focus on the one metric (cases) that makes us look bad.

    When this is all over the narrative is going to be NDP good UCP bad for businesses like restaurants.

    They don't have to vote NDP, they just have to not vote UCP to be a net-positive for NDP.

    Nobody gives a shit about this pandemic anymore, especially the demographic that are most likely to spread it. That’s the problem. Since day 1, there have been parties and gatherings in my building. I said this in this thread 6 months ago, and nothing has or will change. How do you go about “enforcing” this? Are you willing to start knocking on doors, imposing curfews, checking license plates? Are you going to snitch on your neighbors?

    The restrictions on the other hand are not based on any sort of scientific reality. They’re just political moves from a party that’s desperate to salvage any sort of credibility, especially with every news media outlet fanning the flames as hard as they can and making this place sound like Chernobyl.

    Restricting outdoor activities is the perfect example of this. You’re not catching covid outdoors, unless someone is coughing in your mouth. All these restrictions achieve is preventing people from getting some fresh air/sun and having social interactions in a responsible way. The sheer stupidity of this is staggering.

    Who said anything about ticketing everyone? You make an example out of just enough people to get everyone else in line.

    $2000 dollar fine for violating health regulations. Do what Quebec did and issue a few hundred of those a day until people smarten up.

    Repeat offender? See how much they like a couple nights at the remand center.
    When Quebec handed out $30,000 of fine at on party I’m sure people at least thought twice about going something similar. Just like traffic tickets most people at to scared or lazy to fight them so hand out as many as you can waste people who want to fight them collect from the people who don’t.

    I just think arguments about restrictions are stupid when we don’t enforce the ones we have.
