I'm terrible, but at least I'm not Jason Kenney
Kenney taking pressure off scores of mediocre politicians
“I alone can do it.”
So insists Alberta premier Jason Kenney, shooing away any offer of help like a three year old learning how to shit in a potty.
And Saskatchewan’s premier, Scott Moe breathes a huge sigh of relief and quips, “You know, Jason makes me look good. Hell, he makes any leader look good. Even DeSantis, Abbott and Doug Ford.”
I’m just a cat but I think everyone up for election for the next year or so will be running under the banner, “At least I’m not Jason Kenney.”
Very catchy campaign slogan, I think.
Help from the federal and provincial governments has been refused. Demands from doctors and health experts to lockdown to stem the tide of the fourth wave are ignored.
Alberta is three to four weeks away from the worst-case scenario.
All 380 available ICU beds will be filled, forcing health-care workers to play God - to decide who receives intensive-care treatment, and who doesn’t. Who lives for a little bit and who dies sooner.
Heavy shit to load on already overworked and no doubt, traumatized health professionals. This is the thanks Kenney is giving them. No praise just guilt.
None of this seems to faze Kenney. A friend who comes over to feed me figures he doesn’t want to be seen owing anyone. The apex of hubris.
Thousands of surgeries have been cancelled - this is some third world shit here.
This week, Kenney said he’d told Newfoundland and Labrador to hold off on sending health-care workers to help, despite an offer being on the table.
Federal support has been offered in the form of airlifting patients out of province as ICUs are beyond their maximum capacity. Proffered assistance from Ontario, which has opened its doors to receiving patients, has not been taken advantage of.
I have to go - kick a dog thru a hedge. So very angry. Fuck you Kenney.
