Blame for COVID crisis rests on the government

After watching the train wreck in Alberta with the UCP government’s death squad group of Jason Kenney, Deena Hinshaw and Tyler Shandro and their handling of the COVID-19 crisis, I would like to give a huge shout out and thank you to all the doctors, nurses and support staff, for standing firm and doing the very best they could, under horrible conditions.
The stress all of you must be under trying to save lives, while this present government of Alberta continues to plant land mines in your path, I can only imagine.
Yes, this is very similar to being in a war zone. I consider what this government has done during this crisis similar to a war crime and they should be held accountable for the senseless deaths of the many folks of this province, that apparently were considered just collateral damage for political gain. At least that is the way I see it.
Yes, those people that won’t wear a mask in public or practice social distancing are partially to blame but the buck stops at the top.
In closing, thank you, thank you, thank you to all those health care workers that keep on keeping on every day.
You are each and every one, my hero.
