Why doesn't this woman just go away?

[silentmajority]

She has that like sarcastic smile that signals she is the type of woman you wanna run away from haha

[DC-jjzj]

Rachel needs to just go away. Alberta has 0.24% of our population that currently has covid. The deaths over the past year and a half of covid have totalled 0.04%. What’s the reasoning for restrictions again?

[henryl]

It is hard to believe that our COVID situation is worse than that of the US now.

[TheKenchambers]

If Kenney was in her position he would say the exact same things. Just a big game. I’m still glad that she’s not in charge

[freddytang]

Spoiler alert: no matter what Jason Kenney says or does, Notley is going to say he’s wrong

[TheJusnic]

Nutley is Alberta's greatest failure

[mackenzie]

We're going to be witnessing another NDP government in Alberta's near future. I was surprised the first time I saw it happen and never thought we'd see it again, but here we are.
Regardless, I look forward to visiting Alberta ASAP, I miss Jasper! ❤

Leader of the Opposition - opposing what the Governing Party does and says. Didn't see that coming LOL!

[BlackfaceTrudoh]

Nutley was a one term blunder! Thank god she’s gone, is if she could just go away and take jabba the hut Hoffman with her

[colonialemaidserviceltd.]

Kenney should resign, Notley was a WAY better Premier. Kenney is the worst Premier in Canada's history.

[kenmcdonald]

How amazing it would be if our political parties actually worked together...if unity actually meant what it means. It’ll be a miracle if Kenney and Notley acted like adults and lead by example. I can’t help but think Notley wants us in lockdown for two more years at least. Stuck in a doctatorship. This whole thing is exhausting.

[humangarbage]

Why would anyone with even a modicum of sense care what Rachel Notley thinks about anything?

[nextpatch.]

People blaming the government.
You have all the power to stay home and be safer....WITHOUT obeying the man.

People thinking “we deserve a holiday” “we should go to the cafe and not wear masks”
“Pffft social distancing”

Well done. 900, 000 plus cases. Because of you. Not because of the government.
Lost all respect for Canada and it’s people.
Sad but true.

NOTLEY = DISGRACE

[briankerr]

[michaelharris]

[michaelharris]
