We need a better way. Here in Alberta – this is going to devastate so many people in my community – the mental health impact, continued unemployment….The uncertainty and roller coaster of restrictions can’t continue without a clear, safe, path forward.
Chris Selley in the National Post
On Monday, the Conservatives tabledĀ an entirely reasonable motionĀ in the House of Commons ācall(ing) on the government to table within 20 calendar days a clear data-driven plan to support safely, gradually and permanently lifting COVID-19 restrictions.ā (Note here the verb āto support.ā) The motion cited the āserious economic and mental health impactsā that everyone agrees these restrictions have inflicted āĀ whether or not they consider them to have been necessary ā and the fact that other countries are well ahead of us on this front.
