Yes, I continue to monitor the situation here in Manitoba, Canada, and the numbers continue to fall with NO new cases at all... The last 'count' here in this province was "253" with "5" deaths and some "105" still quarantined or forced to self isolate at home.... That means "143" cases have now recovered, and that "143" number will grow now tremendously as more and more people join that recovered number! So, with only 105 suspected cases of this fraud 'virus', I AGAIN have to ask why in the fuck we are still locked up like rats in cages???? Lets end this farce and put Manitoba back to work IMMEDIATELY!!I have watched other provinces as well over these last few days, and their own numbers nearly reflect what has happened here in Manitoba...Most provinces are now over the hump and have indeed flattened the curve much like what has happened here! That is the good news and again shows that there is no logical reason any more to continue to put everyone on lock down.... However, the criminals in charge including that heinous Teresa Tam have their marching orders and they will keep everyone cowering in false fear for the next two weeks at least...I have made readers well aware of the ludicrous and draconian "laws" that are in place in this province under the guise of this bullshit 'pandemic'..... But apparently Manitoba PALES in comparison to what has been happening two provinces over west of here in Alberta... For according to the following report that comes from the "National Post" (which I sometimes call the National Compost for its constant lies...) apparently the criminal provincial government in Edmonton Alberta has passed new 'laws' under the falsehood of needing to "combat this pandemic" that are beyond atrocious and actually gives the Provincial government there the power of DICTATORSHIP! Here is that article right here for everyone, and especially my readers over in Alberta, to see for themselves... I do have my own thoughts and comments to follow:John Carpay: Alberta's Bill 10 is an affront to the rule of law
The legislation, which rushed through the legislature in less than 48 hours, gives cabinet ministers new power to write de facto laws and create new penalties without the approval of the legislative assembly
As though following Machiavellian advice to never let a crisis go to waste, the Alberta government has quietly expanded its own powers under the Public Health Act. Bill 10, which was rushed through the legislature in less than 48 hours, gives cabinet ministers new powers to write de facto laws and create new penalties without the approval of the legislative assembly.Before Bill 10 became law on April 2, Alberta’s Public Health Act already empowered politicians and bureaucrats to take property away from citizens and organizations, to force citizens to render aid, to conscript people to help deal with an emergency and to enter into any building or property without a warrant. The chief medical officer was already empowered to forcibly quarantine any person who is ill, or any person who is caring for a sick family member.Before Bill 10, cabinet ministers were already empowered to suspend the operation of provincial laws, in whole or in part, once cabinet declared a public health emergency. But now, cabinet ministers have acquired the additional power of creating and implementing new orders and penalties, simply through ministerial order, without them being discussed, scrutinized, debated or approved by the legislative assembly of Alberta.Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro David Bloom PhotoBill 10 has also increased the maximum penalty for disobeying the Public Health Act from $2,000 to $100,000 for a first offence, and from $5,000 to $500,000 for a subsequent offence.The only justification provided by Health Minister Tyler Shandro for these new powers was to “strengthen our ability to protect the health and safety of Albertans.” Why ministers need the power to write laws on the fly was not explained.Without review or approval of the legislature, a minister can now create a new order requiring people to install tracking devices on their cellphones, and requiring them to register their phones with the government. Without any oversight, a minister can create an exclusive list of people who are legally permitted to go outside, or legally authorized to drive a vehicle, and impose a $1,000 fine on those who walk outside or drive “illegally” because they are not on the list. The health minister could unilaterally declare that all sick people must be forcibly removed from their homes, as the World Health Organization has suggested. And an order could be issued for mass vaccination, without any discussion or debate in the legislature.Calgary police break up a group of kids playing basketball in northwest Calgary on April 8.Darren Makowichuk/PostmediaCabinet’s powers to suspend laws and create new laws without input or approval from the legislature will eventually come to an end, after the government decides that the public health emergency has ceased. The Public Health Act refers to a 30-day period for a public health emergency, but nothing in the legislation stops the cabinet from declaring another public health emergency the day after the first one expires. Practically speaking, the provincial cabinet, on the advice of the chief medical officer, could maintain a public health emergency for months or even years.With courts currently closed, or highly restricted to criminal law and some family law matters, the usual checks and balances on our system of government are limited or non-existent. Thankfully, the ministers’ new ability to write laws and create new offences excludes the power to tax and spend, and newly created offences cannot have a retroactive effect.However, Bill 10 is still an affront to the rule of law, one of Canada’s foundational principles. “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law” are the first words in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The rule of law means being governed by laws, not by the whims of a king or a cabinet minister.During this pandemic, we should accept reasonable restrictions on our charter freedoms on a temporary basis, with defined time limits and clearly explained justifications. Yet Alberta’s legislation provides no assurance that the violations of our rights will be only temporary, and no specific justification for Bill 10 has been provided.National PostLawyer John Carpay is president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.NTS Notes: Honestly, I saw this type of criminality coming, for the evil bastards in our governments would not even stop to think before doing this type of criminal action against their own citizens...But of course here we have the Edmonton government agreeing to this bill under the guise of "saving Albertans from this horrible disease" that in itself is a massive fraud..... And lets face it, for the terms of this Bill 10 are beyond ludicrous.. If someone that sadly now lives in Alberta fails to "comply" to the horrendous rules of this crapola 'social distancing' or gathers in groups of more than lets say, 10 people, then they can be FINED to the tune of "up to 100000 dollars"!!!!!! AND note the dictatorial powers where the "Health Minister" of that province can now pass a law without any voice from the public demanding full surveillance and possibly mandatory vaccinations to boot!This is so horrendous and I do feel so bad for the good people of Alberta... I do hope that the people there are taking notice of this travesty and will do the right thing by demanding it be rescinded immediately or that they march on Edmonton and remove that government!Yes, this "Bill 10" is beyond a travesty and is nothing more than a massive power grab by the Alberta legislature..... Here I thought the Pallister government in this province was bad, but it indeed pales in comparison to the new draconian laws passed two provinces over in Alberta!More to comeNTS
