Not everyone is actively racist, a majority are passively racist.

Hope this helps.

(Passively racist in the sense that they continue to uphold the systemic and racial biases inherent to society, it's a low bar for sure but its still there)

I wonder what Rick Bell's angle is by pressing this question. He's usually on Kenney's side for all these updates and now he's asking about how Kenney refusing to admit fault is undermining public trust. Is he one of those nutso libertarians who only likes the ruling government when they are beating down people he doesn't like and throws them under the bus the moment he actually has to deal with face-eating leopard consequences?

Yes, that and he has a weird penchant for thinking he is speaking for the common man so he tends to push back on topics that he think they'll be pissed about.

Whether this is some internal justification to himself to not being a straight up mouth piece or actual its hard to tell.

It's the weird thing in public discourse where you could have a 300 Million procurement gently caress up and no one bats an eye but if someone expenses $3,000 of OJ then its real and definable to the common voter.

Its never the big things that take people down its the small and contextual things.

Kenney defaulting to gaslighting also just throws gas on the fire.

Cases are reasonable right now, vaccines are increasing, and a small group of people gathering outside with reasonable distancing has always been reasonably safe. It was allowed last summer, people were doing it safely without vaccines at all, and the cases only started spiking in September when school started and things cooled down.

It's time, we should be allowed to gather outdoors again. Would it be better if they were further apart? Yes. But, overall, it's a pretty safe situation compared to literally any school and the vast majority of workplaces, and compared with restaurant/bar patios, it would also be trivial to contact-trace and isolate if necessary.

What is this line of thinking?

Politicians should be the last to integrate into society, they should be seen as making the same if not a greater sacrifice than they ask of us.

Not to mention the bullshit Kenney pulled during the pandemic, the Aloha gate poo poo and him coming back and saying hed throw people out of caucus if they were caught breaking the rules again.

Just because you want to do it, doesn't mean Kenney should be left off the hook.

So I'm not going to watch the video, because it set off my "racist fuckwit detector" (colloquially known as "my eyes when I read who made that tweet") and the second vaccine has been handing my rear end to me all day, but... what in the everloving gently caress is he going on about? I mean, other than Winnipeg's infection rate dropping like a rock (despite Pallister's best efforts), I'm not sure what Winnipeg did this time with the pandemic? We've been getting our shots. Blame people in Winkler-and-the-surrounding-area.

Or is this more "WUHAN FLU WAS A BIOWEAPON MADE BY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!1!1!1!!! *something something* LIBRULS!"" bullshit?

China fear-mongering, also implying that china created the lab in Wuhan and somehow Winnipeg was involved due to the work they were doing on increasing replication viruses.

Moderna's oddly kicked my rear end like twice... fatigue hits about 6 days after the shot and sticks around for about 4 or 5... starting the second wave of it after my second shot and hopefully its not as bad as the first.

The particularly galling thing to me has been the cities discarding their mask mandates so fast. Masks are such a tiny, insignificant thing, that protect a large part of the non-vaccinated population (which at this point is still most of the population). Just stick to your guns and require them indoors until the second vaccination rate comes up. :smith:

Calgary city council was frustrating as gently caress to watch.

Farkas (UCP lapdog and conservative who didn't get bullied enough kept screaming WHY DONT YOU TRUST THE SCIENCE and asking the city how many epidemiologists they had (the city had actually like 100 though a Harvard city network). Also why don't you trust the chief medical officer?!?!? (the cabinet makes the recommendations not the CMO)

We delayed lifting the mask mandate by about a week, Edmonton's was atleast close we ended up 10-4.

Wow the numbers are going down yay us, this has never happened before when schools were out and we clearly have no lessons to learn.
