A reality check on Alberta's path to the devastating 4th wave of COVID
CBC
Premier Jason Kenney promised Albertans the "best summer ever."
The pandemic was ending and the province was reopening "for good."
The Alberta premier's optimistic prediction came in the early days of summer. But as the season wound down, Kenney — who faced harsh criticism for vacationing as COVID-19 cases surged — returned from holidays to plead with unvaccinated Albertans to get their jabs.
The United Conservative Party premier even dangled a $100 incentive for unvaccinated Albertans to get protected against the disease.
That was almost two week ago.
In the meantime, COVID-19 cases have soared, the province's ICUs have filled and public anger has swelled.
Questions continue to swirl around the UCP government's decision-making that made it so confident Alberta had "the upper hand" on the novel coronavirus, allowing Alberta to safely open.
