RE: Alberta orders mandatory masks in schools for reopening

I am writing in regards to our current mask policy in Alberta. 

When the world first found out about the COVID-19 outbreak we were told by our so-called experts that it was NOT necessary for healthy individuals to be walking around with masks on.  Dr. Fauci in the US said: “Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.”

But in their infinite wisdom, our leaders decided that making people “feel better” was more important than being honest.  The truth about masks is that they do NOT provide protection against COVID-19! 

Numerous studies have been conducted which showed the wearing of masks provided either no discernible difference in the spread or may even result in worse outcomes.  Yet in spite of the science, our leaders have perpetuated this falsehood. 

For months now citizens of Alberta have been forced to strap a lie across their face to make others FEEL better!  Many of us know this is nothing more than virtue signalling!  When will leaders or the media start reporting the truth about that fact?

Longing for the freedom to breathe freely again,

RE: Danielle Smith UNCENSORED speaks to three deplatformed doctors

Thank you for keeping this debate civil.  

I had a subscription to the Western Standard years ago, and had to let it go because while I deeply believed in and supported the information that was presented, it was done with such a rude and caustic rhetoric.  

There is a great deal more weight and effectiveness from being polite without compromising the message.  I respect that.  Danielle Smith and Dr. Modry are great examples of excellent presenting.  

Thank you for that

RE: Analyst says Enbridge Line 5 fight shows Trudeau, Biden playing both sides on energy issues

Thanks for all your timely articles.

With all the issues that Alberta is facing regarding pipelines, I read recently that our Federal Natural Resources Minister, Seamus O’Regan, is now vowing to defend the Enbridge Line 5 issue with the state of Michigan. 

Now, why would this particular issue be more relevant than the Keystone issue?  Perhaps because Line 5 not only supplies oil to the States but also to refineries in Sarnia. 

Seems to me to be another twist of the knife to Albertans.
