@kateljacobson Canada - if we do something better than the U.S. that's good enough for us.

@ShawnaGofABPoli I'm not sure Pence would want to stake what could be his only shot at the White House on 2020; an alternate candidate would likely have to deal with all the rage aimed at Trump while having less enthusiasm from his base.

@fakeezzie It must come up on talk radio or something because about once a year my mother (78) gets very curious about what LinkIn is.

@streetsandpeaks @StuffNickoDoes The article says "Since June 6, the number of active COVID-19 cases in the Edmonton zone has risen by 93." that's not incompatible with a 200% increase in the last week.

@wearenorth99 When you owe a billion dollars its cheaper to make a giant donation to the ruling political party than to repay.

@YEGlifer Maybe, maybe, we'll see a UCP MLA defect to the Wexit Party at some point, but it's not going to be for any of the reasons you're wishing one of them would cross the floor.

@WindsorMann Whatever he might try, he will probably be somewhat limited by high ranking Republicans abandoning him the moment he loses.

@theMamiyaMan @charlesadler There is rarely anything to be gained from mocking those on your side for not joining your side sooner, especially when they are literally in the act of apologizing for being on the wrong side in the past.

@JulieSLalonde An odd turn of events landed my wife and I at a particular restaurant on our wedding day. We've celebrated 17 anniversaries there because of it, but not our 18th last month.

After getting tremendous blowback for calling Canadians on CERB ‘lazy’ last week, Andrew Scheer has changed his tune to <checks notes> accusing them of fraud.

This tweet aged like a fine turd.

This meat processing plant is now shut down. And coronavirus cases linked to the outbreak at this plant are responsible for 15% of all confirmed cases on Alberta. #ableg

@michaelcoren @CPC_HQ As an aside, as common as this argument is, its not even true in some countries. https://t.co/PjqrPMmHET

.@jkenney's smears of Dr. Tam show he's in attack-to-distract mode. Don't forget:

📢He's being sued by physicians *during a pandemic*
📢He laid off 25,000 educators
📢His Health Minister @shandro should be sacked
📢He's cynically using #COVID19 to ram through his agenda

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

You can’t blame Kenney for #COVID19; and you can only partially blame him for the economic collapse (his cuts make a bad situation much worse). But the blame for the fight with doctors in the midst of a health crisis is all his. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/QiZXAUP4Pk

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

The UCP has used its emergency powers to remove the requirement that employers give workers 24 hours notice of shift changes. They say this is will ‘help employees during a crisis.’ Seriously?! That’s the lamest excuse for taking away workers’ rights, ever. 😡 #cdnpoli #canlab

[Glenn Finockio @gfinockio]

Hey @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews - don't let the @Alberta_UCP and Mr. @jkenney off the hook - the AB website failure is 100% on his government. #ableg

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Just a reminder that the Liberals could have made CERB a universal program. It could have been $1000 more per month and it could have been taxed to claw it back from folks who didn't need it.

Instead, we have to endure a trickle of announcements with little details.

[Joe Ceci @joececiyyc]

Hey if you criticize disgraced Minister @shandro will he:

A. Show up at your house and scream at you.
B. Threaten to send "protective services" after you.
C. Use your confidential info to harass you after hours.
D. All of the above.

@DrewPAnderson Could just be the all too familiar narrative where a conservative doesn't care about an issue until it affects him personally, but the data collection does sound fishy.
