Kenney refuses to make masks mandatory

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, seen here on Feb. 24, 2020, said the province opted for a 'very strong recommendation' for Albertans to wear masks or face shields in public, especially in crowded areas where physical distancing isn’t much of an option, citing mass transit as an example.

Instead, the Premier said the province opted for a “very strong recommendation” for Albertans to wear masks or face shields in public, especially in crowded areas where physical distancing isn’t much of an option, citing mass transit as an example. “The challenge of deciding whether or not to make something mandatory is determining how strong our recommendations are,” Dr. Hinshaw said. “It’s too early to determine the impact of the recommendation.”

“Time is of the essence in a pandemic,” Dr. Tan said. “We thought that we really needed to make our case for this because, as we get into Phase 2 when there’s an uptick of cases, we really want to keep the cases down.”

To be consistent he should repeal the law mandating seat belt use.

Of course he does he is part of the QAnon Cult - Trump is his hero. He is as selfish and self absorbed and a liar like his idol. Wish he would move to America.

Good. Enough with this stupid virus clown show.

Good because if jkenney does he’s lost my vote!

At least he understands CDN's still live in a free country. Other politicians should take notes.

Fake news

Not mandatory here in Australia and we only have 100 deaths

Well at least one leader is leading the way. Good for you Kenny to stand up! It’s called free will. No one is stopping u to wear a mask, if I decline don’t want to it’s my body my choice.

Yeah, because he knows Albertans won’t listen to such idiocy. We’re done taking queues from so-called “experts” who have mishandled this situation from the beginning.

Smart man

This is an easy way to explain why you should wear a mask when you can't distance:

Oh yes your freedumbs; please abolish speed limits, seatbelts, and I’d dam better be allowed to smoke on planes, trains and in restaurants because they are my lungs, and I can do what I choose. If YOU don’t like my smoking, state home. How is this difficult? Studies? Fake news.

Good. That's a personal choice, not the State's choice. The government DOES NOT know best.

Bravo!

Well that’s very trump like. Hate to tell you boys...science works...so do masks

One of Harper's lackey. Who needs facts when you can win people over with ideology.

Good we have freedoms you know

Good, finally a rational person

There’s not enough politicians to make us all blind sheep. If you’re scared, stay home.

Just get a mask less reporter in the front row to perform a coughing fit. Pretty sure he’ll change his mind quickly...,

Okay can we stop this non sense. Masculinity will not protect us from viruses

It should be your choice we’re all adults

Alberta premier recommends masks, but backs away from law requiring themJason Kenney says non-medical masks will protect people from spreading COVID-19 to others, but he isn't ready to force Albertans to wear them. Good. Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their own health. I think people know enough about the virus to make their own decisions. Some with breathing problems can't wear a mask, but if you can, then you should. But you can't force people. Just wash hands and 6ft away.

Alberta premier refutes separation threats: ‘Either you love your country or you don’t’Alberta Premier Jason Kenney delivered a clear message to Albertans on Friday, disputing separation talks made by fellow conservative caucus members. Like Quebec they make threats like this after they can't afford to support themselves anymore anyways. It's just been a giant publicity stunt from the start. And when you love a foreign country over your own jkenney? abusa I’m not even from Alberta but I can say that the way some regions of Canada are represented in government is completely unfair, which is especially true for them and anyone who’s not basically Quebec or Southern Ontario
