I’d say this is something you don’t hear every day, but a more accurate description is something you’ve only heard once. At least one provincial world leader stepped up to a microphone and apologized for the rampant discrimination during the “pandemic.”
On October 12th, 2022, exactly one year ago today, Danielle Smith, having recently won the job as Alberta’s premier, apologized for the vaccine apartheid imposed on those who chose not to get the COVID-19 injection.
And she seems genuine here, and it is encouraging, especially as we watch tyrants eager to scratch that totalitarian itch.
I’ve included the tweet making the rounds (with or without clarification of the original date of the remarks) and a news report from a year ago.
They are brief enough that you should watch both. The latter includes the predictable blowback from minority groups who are (to paraphrase their point) discriminated against regularly.
It is worth noting that in a rare moment in history, COVID discrimination was genuinely blind. It made no difference your age, race, faith, gender, ideological inclination, or occupation. Being uncomfortable with that one vaccine, daring to question ‘The Man” – once a right of passage for the up-and-coming Left – you were branded a denier and systemically punished.
If not for the efforts of people in all those groups working together to claw back our health freedoms, we’d have adopted the Islamic practice of dhimmitude, required to wear yellow or perhaps simply lacking the approved “passport” or “papers” that would permit us access to everyday goods and services.
People too soon forget how awful things were or may have gotten and how quickly many in power, including judges and the courts, abandoned their oaths to protect natural rights and uphold the constitution crafted to prevent the government from infringing upon them.
Perhaps Oct 12th should be Danielle Smith Day.
