Kenny is in a tough spot. I believe he secretly wants to open everything up but does not want to face the criticism from the "medical community" or the NDP. If he does open things and a large amount of people die or overload the hospitals it will be on him. Those 80% of middle voters sway back and forth their political loyalties based on the "successes of the day".

Now I just wonder if that same "medical community" that is pushing for a complete shutdown, would feel the same way if they lost their pay cheques during that shutdown?

I can't believe these high paid doctors are saying it's okay for you to go without an income but not one of them has stepped up and said they will go unpaid to help the community.

Over a year all you hear on the news is covid this and covid that, the hospitals are over run. Our hospital was labeled the covid go to for all the north and we are in an so called out break, it looks like a ghost town inside the hospital. The stats just are not adding up, even fudging the numbers worse than an election.

i'm thinking that Kenny is stalling trying to determine what to do? every day he is losing votes and voter confidence, he should be a leader and open the province up, we never elected him to be run, by the NDP.
Yup, by being wishy washy he's losing on both sides. Make a long term decision and stick with it. Either shut it down and go the Aussie route or open up like Texas. The in between is not working for anyone.

Kenney pandering to those who didn’t vote for him and never will.... seems the premiers for the most part not even remotely close to as smooth and Teflon coated as the supreme leader aka the Turd. Tough place for them to be in a no win situation, thinking a few will be toast next go round... then again can’t imagine giving the dumb bee itch Notley any chance to win on a divided right.
